Research has shown that a good bathroom, like a quality kitchen, can contribute more than 15% to the value of a property.
While remodeling can be an expensive project because of its complexity, there are some great budget-smart ways to tackle the challenge.
While a full remodel will usually need three contractors, a plumber, electrician and builder, it’s not always necessary to rip and replace your bathroom to give it a facelift.
These ideas will help rejuvenate the space on a budget.
Reflect on this
Replacing your old mirror with a large and modern choice should make a significant difference. There’ll be more light in the bathroom, transforming the space.
So vain
Vanity units can be inexpensive to replace if you go to one of the major retailers. It’s now fashionable to select elevated handles and pull-rings for drawers rather than recessed features. Without exception, your vanity must match the existing color scheme.
Bold lighting
Strict regulations determine whether a lighting fixture is suitable for a bathroom. Do not purchase a light that breaks the rules. For your safety, a licenced electrician should refuse to install it. That said, many choices will offer the brilliant brightness required in a bathroom.
New fixtures
If your faucets and shower head look their age, replacements will make a huge difference and won’t have to cost a fortune. Selecting a showerhead that produces a powerful spray can revolutionize your life!
General tidy-up
You’ll find services that offer to give bathrooms a facelift with a deep clean that gets into all the nooks and crannies. Contractors will also replace moldy grout around the shower, basin and bath. They’ll be able to refresh old shower glass, too.
On the tiles
Ask a tiling contractor to quote new tiles. Sometimes, it’s possible to lay new tiles over old ones, significantly reducing the expense. Also, look for second-hand tiles to keep the budget in check.
