Renovating an old bathroom can make a big difference in your home. A place that is an integral part of your daily life. 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.

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 remodeling process and give you an idea of ​​how much you need to spend to make your dream come true.

How is the bathroom plumbing?

Three types of pipes are used in bathroom plumbing:

• Galvanized iron and steel pipes: These pipes are not widely used in bathroom plumbing these days, although they are cheaper.
• Cast iron pipes: These types of pipes are mostly used in infrastructure and are not used for small projects such as bathroom plumbing.
• Plastic and PVC pipes: They are one of the most popular models for bathroom plumbing.

Also, if you live in a cold area where there is a possibility of freezing at night, it is important that the bathroom plumbing does not pass through the outer wall.

Put a window in the bathroom

Placing a window in the bathroom renovation process, if done properly, is a great feature. One thing to keep in mind is to keep the glass frosted for privacy. Also, make sure 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 that has a plastic handle and does not rust.

What kind of bathroom wall covering is it?

• Porcelain or ceramic tiles:

This is certainly one of the most popular choices for bathroom flooring and the reason for this can be easily understood. Tiles are very easy to maintain. It is also one of the most affordable options and is available in a range of sizes, colors, shapes, and textures. If you want to decorate your new bathroom in person, keep in mind that it is difficult to install tiles if you have not tried them before.

In general, our advice is to leave 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:

There are two types of waterproof vinyl that you can choose from WPC and wood-plastic composite (SPC). Both options are 100% waterproof, very durable, and easy to clean. These beautiful boards are offered in various colors 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. If you like the wooden look and you want to install the flooring yourself, this is a great material. Although water-resistant, it is not 100% waterproof and is less durable than tile or vinyl.

• 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 type of flooring looks very beautiful 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 very impressive. 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

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

Create storage space in the bathroom

If your bathroom has enough space, building a small closet or cabinet is a great idea. 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 is done by our specialists in Happy Construction.
