Bathroom furniture and mirror cabinet disposal in Berlin
A bathroom renovation or moving out often leaves old bathroom furniture behind. We take down cabinets and mirrors and dispose of them. A plumber removes the bath, WC and washbasin; if they are already out, we take them by arrangement.
What has to be done before we dismantle
- Mirror cabinet with light or socket: if it is wired into the mains, a qualified electrician must disconnect it beforehand.
- Vanity unit: the washbasin, tap and trap are part of the plumbing. We take the unit once the basin has been removed or if it stands freely underneath.
- Bath, shower, WC, washbasin: removal only by a plumber. This is not a service we offer.
- Rented flat: sanitary fittings and built-in bathroom furniture usually belong to the flat. They may not be removed without the landlord's consent.
Included in our fixed price
- Taking down wall, tall and base cabinets, carrying mirrors safely
- Bath, WC or washbasin already removed, by arrangement
- Happy to combine with the rest of the flat
Collections start from €250. With photos we give you a written fixed price.
Bathroom furniture and removed fittings
Cabinets
Base units, tall cabinets, wall cabinets, linen cupboards and shelving from the bathroom.
Mirrors & mirror cabinets
We take them off the wall and carry them so that no glass breaks. Illuminated mirrors go as electrical waste.
Removed sanitary fittings
Bath, WC, washbasin or shower tray, only by arrangement and if they have already been removed.
Not included: removing sanitary fittings, disconnecting pipes, knocking off tiles, dismantling boxed-in walls and filling drill holes. That work is for a plumber or tradesperson. Rubble from the renovation is not bulky waste.
Which route for which item?
Taking bathroom furniture yourself
Bathroom cabinets and shelving are bulky waste or wood. The BSR recycling centre accepts them from Berlin households free of charge, up to 3 m³ per vehicle.
Bath and WC
In Berlin sanitary fittings do not count as bulky waste. The easiest option is often to ask the plumber to take the old parts away when removing them.
Have it collected
Worthwhile when the old parts are already out and standing in the hallway, heavy cast-iron baths have to be carried or the flat is being cleared anyway.

The right order for a bathroom renovation
When a bathroom is renewed, several trades are usually involved. The right order saves trouble: first you or we clear the bathroom furniture, then the plumber removes bath, toilet and basin and seals the pipes, then the tiler and painter come. We are happy to collect everything at once as soon as the old parts are in the hallway.
Cast-iron bathtubs are heavy, often more than 100 kilos, so we need more people for the stairwell. Steel tubs are lighter, acrylic ones even more so. Tell us which tub it is or send a photo, and we will plan accordingly.
Questions about this topic
Do you also remove the bath?
No. A plumber removes the bath, WC, washbasin and shower, because water and waste connections have to be sealed properly. If the bath has already been removed, we take it by arrangement.
May a WC go with the bulky waste?
No. In Berlin sanitary fittings do not count as bulky waste. Ask your plumber whether they will take the old parts, or talk to us.
What about the mirror cabinet with a light?
If it is wired into the mains, a qualified electrician must disconnect it first. Then we take it down and dispose of it separately as electrical waste.
Do you take glass shower screens?
Yes, once they have been removed. We transport glass separately so nothing breaks. Removal is usually done by the plumber.
How heavy is an old cast-iron tub?
Often over 100 kilos, so we plan more people. Tell us beforehand whether it is cast iron, steel or acrylic.
