Hello!

I have to say that it is actually my father's single-family house (in which I also lived until my studies). Therefore, I am usually not on site when the bathroom company is there.

Today they installed the furniture and my father spoke to them about the threshold.

The site manager said that they would now install a transition strip or something similar, so that it is at least not so sharp-edged. He also said that it would probably even out a bit more anyway, for example if a new carpet is laid in the hallway...

By the way, today they also noticed that the radiator they had planned and brought with them is too high because the sloping roof is in the way. Now they have to order a new radiator that is 5 cm smaller...

Unbelievable!

By the way, my father does not want to stress himself and does not want to insist on level equality (as I would), because he thinks it will work out with the transition strip promised by the site manager. Moreover, probably the whole bathroom would have to be tiled again, because if the floor is lowered, the wall tiles would then hang "too high"...

By the way, the procedure was as follows: My father drove with me directly to the company on site (they also have a large showroom). They then said they needed the measurements of the bathroom. I took the measurements and sent them to the company by email. After that, a 3D model was created, the tiles, bathroom furniture etc. were selected, and the contract was signed (that was about 3 months before construction started).

Only after that did someone from the company actually come to the house itself to take measurements and look at it on site. This was about 2 weeks before construction started.

Such things can happen - and as long as they deliver and install another radiator without grumbling, everything is fine! No need to get upset

Everything has been said about your (your father's) height problem.
60,000 € is a lot of money - however, these "all-in-one" companies do charge for that. And we don't know the standard that was installed.
Chipping the screed down by one centimeter, I've never heard of that. A new screed... probably not proportionate. These mosaic tiles are simply thinner than today's larger ceramic or porcelain tiles...
In my opinion, one has to accept such "inconveniences" (which aren't really any) when renovating or refurbishing something old.

well your dad pays and accepts it .) that's all said. I said yes, the threshold off, door leaf down and yes, it's true another flooring in the hallway is also coming.

What will you do when you take over the house and want laminate or parquet? Then you'll be glad that the bathroom is currently 1 cm higher
