Bathroom renovation and tips to keep in mind

Renovating an old bathroom can make a big difference in your home. Your bathroom should be a happy place where you can relax in a bubble bath, sing in the shower or spend some time alone when you are tired. A place that is an integral part of your daily life.

If your current bathroom reminds you more of a dark cave than a quiet room, it may be time to remodel it! In this text, we will guide you through each step of the bathroom remodelling process and give you an idea of ​​how much you need to spend to make your dream come true.

Why is bathroom renovation substantial?

One of the places that are very sensitive when selling a house and buyers pay a lot of attention to it is the bathroom and toilet. This item itself is essential for buyers who are looking for their convenience. They are looking for homes that don't need renovations. If the buyers want to rebuild it while paying a high price, they must spend a long time in the house full of dirt and pollution.

Put a window in the bathroom.

If done correctly, placing a window in the bathroom renovation process is a great feature. One thing to keep in mind is to keep the glass frosted for privacy. Also, ensure that the glass is surrounded by stones so that if water is sprayed on it, there will be no problem. Also, it is better to buy a window with a plastic handle that does not rust.

What kind of bathroom wall covering is it?

• Porcelain or ceramic tiles:

Tiles are straightforward to maintain. It is undoubtedly one of the most popular choices for bathroom flooring and the reason for this can be easily understood. It is also one of the most affordable options and is available in various sizes, colours, shapes, and textures. If you want to decorate your new bathroom in person, keep in mind that it is challenging to install tiles if you have not tried them before.

In general, we advise leaving the tiling to people who are more skilled than you, like Happy Construction. You can also use concrete and marble instead of porcelain tiles for the floor.

• Waterproof vinyl:

You can choose two types of waterproof vinyl: WPC and wood-plastic composite (SPC). Both options are 100% waterproof, durable, and easy to clean. These beautiful boards are offered in various colours and textures. Of course, WPC vinyl is a bit more expensive than SPC vinyl, but in terms of quality, both options are great for your bathroom.

Water-resistant laminate:

Another cost-effective flooring option is water-resistant laminate. Although water-resistant, it is not 100% waterproof and is less durable than tile or vinyl. If you like the wooden look and want to install the flooring yourself, this is an excellent material.

• Engineered wood:

One of the most expensive and, at the same time, durable options is engineered wood. This material is 100% waterproof, easy to install, and gives you a beautiful natural wood veneer. This flooring type looks gorgeous in a modern, classic, or beach-style interior decoration.

Install the shower cabin

Whether your new bathroom has a combination of a bathtub or you decide to install a separate shower, now is the time to complete this part. There are several options that you can choose to create your shower cabin.

Use the idea of ​​implementing a shower cabin to separate the bathroom and toilet space. The installation of the shower cabin is imposing. At the same time, it reduces sediment and pollution in other sectors and significantly reduces energy consumption.

But if you do not have enough space to run the shower cabin, it is better to place the shower just above the tub.

Glass cabin

Instead of experiencing a cold breeze that can sometimes blow through the curtains, a glass door keeps your shower warm. A glass door makes your shower cabin bigger and allows more light in the shower. This option also shows the beautiful tiles installed in your shower or bathtub. The downside is that glass doors need a little more maintenance to keep them clean and clear.

Create storage space in the bathroom

Building a small closet or cabinet is excellent if your bathroom has enough space. These cabinets are the best place to store bath accessories such as shampoo, soap, lotions, medicine, and razors. If the bathroom plumbing is superficial, you can make this closet where the pipe is passed, and other pipes are not visible.

Installing a toilet is the next step. While bathroom cabinets are less shallow than kitchen cabinets, toilets still provide plenty of storage space for cleaning products, towels, and hair dryers.

Install the toilet

Installing a toilet is the last step in renovating your bathroom, which our specialists in Happy Construction do.

What is the average cost of a bathroom renovation?

Suppose you want to renovate your bathroom depending on the type of materials and equipment, style, and size of the bathroom. In that case, the price varies for different kinds of residential buildings.

In general, the cost of reconstruction is determined by the conditions of the infrastructure, plumbing and the way of electrical connections and valves, the choice of decoration and flooring style, and the implementation of tiles and insulation. Therefore, the exact rent and price of the cost of renovating the bathroom and toilet cannot be determined.

How long does it take to renovate a bathroom?

A normal-sized bath can be rebuilt within two to three weeks of demolition. The timing depends on whether or not your orders are prepared on time, whether you hire a specialist or do it yourself, and how quickly you can plan your budget. Also, remember that common construction challenges can delay your project for days.
