Smart Tips To Refurbish Your Bathroom

Having a smart and fresh bathroom enhances the quality of your life and you should not put up with tired fixtures and fittings or stains on the sink, toilet or bath.  Tiles should be secure and have clean grout in-between.   We all start our day in the bathroom so we want this to be a pleasant experience to get our day going on the right note.

Depending on your budget and skills, you may opt for DIY or engage the services of a bathroom fitter and if you go for the latter option be sure to ask for recommendations before committing to employing anyone.

If you do it yourself then be sure to have everything in hand before you start work as you don’t want to be using your bathroom while it’s like a war zone casualty.  Items like special vanity top mirrors and some specialist design tiles may take several weeks to arrive.  So make sure you have a check list for new fixtures like mirrors, plumbing fixtures, new lighting and tiles.  Having everything on hang will help you to figure out if you need to move the plumbing lines for the sink, bath or shower.  Also additional wiring or replacement is necessary for the lighting.
If you have a second bathroom this point is not so important but keep all this in mind before you start ripping everything out.

TIPS FOR WORKING ON YOUR NEW BATHROOM

  • Shop around for your vanity as home stores have a limited choice.  Delivery may be quicker from local independent suppliers who may do you a deal on price and delivery and even have choices including marble edgings for your new bathroom.
  • Upgrade to making a recess in the bathroom shower for shampoo and soap.
  • Removing vinyl flooring can be easier if you cut it into sections before removing as just ripping it out may leave stubborn pieces stuck down hard to the bathroom floor.
  • Use accent tiles sparingly as they still make an impact if you put thought into how to make the most of them in your new bathroom.
  • Curved shower rods for your bathroom look smart and will save space compared to square rods.
  • If you are replacing a vinyl you will likely need a “spacer” to put under the toilet so that the toilet and bathroom floor are flush.
  • Update the bathroom lighting as you want the entire look to be new and no outdated lighting.
  • If you get out of your depth in the middle of a bathroom plumbing or wiring job don’t be too proud to call in a professional to sort part of the job out.
  • Although a new bathroom is a big expense splash out on a couple of the features you really want.
As with any home improvement it’s important to consider your budget however never compromise the quality of your work as well as comfort, usefulness and the style that you set your mind into.  Remember to plan this project thoughtfully and consider the smart tips mentioned.  You and your family will enjoy this feature and you will enhance the value of your home
