We recently made improvements to a bathroom in just three days. In the internal part a illuminated niche, the shower, worktop and sink were replaced, as well as the installation of new LED profile lights, which were very popular in the decor. The customer was very happy to be able to “debut” in the renovated house in 2023″ , says Bianca, who has been operating on the market for ten years.
