Bathroom Renovation: Expert Advice
Whether it is a bathroom layout or renovation, defining the work to be done and the budget to be allocated to the project are the keys to a successful project! Follow our expert advice.
Do you want to renovate your bathroom but you don’t know where to start or how much it will cost you? What seems difficult a t first glance is not that much, when you have the right advice. Renovating a bathroom can seem like a daunting task at first glance and when you are not used to the work. However, a few small organizational tips and practical tips can help you see things more clearly quickly.
• Plan your budget
Before you start bathroom renovations, you need to define what work needs to be done, and how much you have available for it. Make a list of the essential works to be done first, to know what bases cost you need. A complete renovation will not cost the same as a simple change of shower, for example. And a simple decoration won’t cost the same as a moisture problem, either.
To cost all this, you can bring in a professional who will give you a quote (having 3 quotes drawn up to compare them is however preferable). Then, it’s up to you to decide, depending on your budget and your skills, whether you entrust the work to a pro or if you embark on the bathroom renovation yourself. Otherwise, you can also cost your materials on the internet, by consulting the sites of a major DIY stores.
• Avoid unpleasant surprises
Inspect your bathroom well to avoid the unexpected. If you plan to change the tiles, remove some tiles before starting your work, to make sure you have healthy walls. If you plan to change your tub or shower, inspect the condition of the plumbing and plan accordingly. For the bathroom renovation to be successful in the long-term, it is necessary to use materials accordingly:
• A special bathroom paint
• A waterproof plasterboard
• An under-tile water protection system (SPEC) for tiles, shower trays, bathtubs, and tiles.
If your bathroom does not have ventilation, you will need to install one. Ventilation is mandatory and helps prevent condensation, which would ultimately harm your renovations. Whether with a professional or at a DIY store, always learn about the standards before you start.
• Modernizing the decor
Once you have gone through all the mandatory technical details and standards, you also have to think about decoration! In bathroom renovation, there are two possibilities: either you want to modernize or upgrade to your liking, or you renovate the entire bathroom and finish off the decor.
Concerning practical decorating advice, remember to avoid untreated wood (bamboo is preferred) and unsuitable paints. For an inexpensive bathroom makeover, you can repaint the tiles with a special tile paint (resin), instead of replacing them. Many manufacturers of bathroom furniture offer basins, cupboards, and storage at low prices. When it comes to colors, anything goes and bright, light colors are strongly recommended in this room that needs brightness and pep.
