If Warwick is right about your location Zilimbilaki's bathroom shop (Επιλογι) in Kalyves, opposite the petrol station as you head for the Ethniki on the road from Kalyves to Armenoi, about 250m from the laundry. They'll probably be able to recommend a reliable builder. There's a builder turned restaurateur who has recently (two months ago) rebuilt a bathroom for friends of mine and they were delighted with the work he did. That involved digging up the floor and relaying it so that water no longer ran under the door to the landing but to the drain at the opposite end of the room / moving sanitary ware from its original position to the opposite wall / constructing a new walk-in shower enclosure and installing a new shower / tiling, etc. My pal was also very happy with the price.
When we bought our first house here, a single storey stone cottage, the same builder renovated that and built on an entire three bedroom + bathroom first floor and did a very good job. We had no problems with the building during the ten years we lived there.
If you want to speak to him, Manolis Trulos, you may need to speak some Greek if his wife or one of his (adult) children aren't around. You'll find him at the Parasia Taverna in Vamos on the road to Kaina. By all means mention my name and "from Tsivaras". 28250 83246 Mob. 6970 548370 I think those are still current numbers. In winter I think the taverna is only open in the evening Tues-Sunday and maybe Sunday lunchtime.
