Hello everyone,
I am new here and not quite sure if I am in the right place.
Here is what I am planning: I am currently searching and have found a huge apartment at a great price.
Now, it used to be a studio and has only a sink and a toilet in the bathroom, probably why it is so cheap.
I can only check the situation on-site on Monday, but I wanted to ask if you think it is possible here to install a new water connection or if it is possible to branch off the sink and then continue with a drywall installation? Or is it better to break open the wall? But how do I find out where the pipes have been laid?
Regarding the drain, I hope that, as in most toilets, there is a floor drain grille and that it might be positioned so conveniently that I could use it for the bathtub, if possible?
Or connect it at the sink or toilet, if possible?
And whether the whole thing could be implemented relatively cost-effectively, or what costs I should expect, excluding only the sanitary work, breaking open tiles, closing, plastering, and reinstalling, etc.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures yet; I would provide them later. I just wanted to hear your opinion first.
I understand I need the landlord's approval, a professional to carry out the work, etc.—that is all clear to me. I am just interested in an assessment regarding feasibility and costs.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Chris
