waterproofing must be done again, and the fact of its construction must be recorded by an act for hidden work;
the level of the floors of the combined bathroom should be 1 - 2 cm below the level of the adjacent floors;
Entrance door should lead to a non-residential premises, for example, exit to a living room if there are several bathrooms in the apartment;
when redeveloping and combining a bathroom with a bath, you must not in any way affect the ventilation duct or violate its integrity.

All these requirements are taken into account by the designer - a specialized organization with an SRO approval.
