Renovating your bathroom is not as hard as it sounds. To ease your bathroom remodelling to-do list, here are great tips you should consider before engaging services or calling in handymen.

When renovating your bathroom, consider using environmentally friendly products such as those made from recycled bottles and biodegradable materials that are good for the environment plus options that allow you to keep on re-using important bathroom appliances such as bathroom sinks and bathroom vanity cabinets.

Since bathroom renovations can increase the overall value of your home, you should expect to sell at a better price. It is important that not only do bathroom renovations add worth but they also improve the aesthetics of the home so it is more appealing to potential buyers looking for their dream house.

There are many bathroom remodelling products available in hardware stores or online that you can use to upgrade your bathroom space such as bathroom tiles, bathroom vanities, bathroom lighting fixtures and bathroom faucets. Be sure to choose quality products from trusted brands like Moen bathroom and kitchen faucets and showerheads. Bathroom remodelling doesn’t have to be expensive, especially if you choose eco-friendly materials for all your items from bathtubs to bathroom cabinets.

Remember that bathroom renovations are supposed to upgrade your bathroom space rather than compromise bathroom safety. Before doing anything with bathroom tiling, bathroom flooring or bathroom plumbing fixtures check if they meet the current standards for safety and comfort, including ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and childproofing standards.   

Before You Start

Determine the work that needs to be done and then estimate the amount of money required for bathroom renovations. If bathroom renovations are out of your budget, consider only doing what you can afford.

Make a list of bathroom remodelling projects needed and set priorities based on their urgency and affordability. Ask yourself questions such as how important is each project? How soon do you want it completed? What type of bathroom would my new design be? Which material is it best to use? Which bathroom fixtures are best for each bathroom project?

To save yourself from the hassle of doing your own bathroom renovation, it is time to call in professional bathroom renovators. If you do not know any bathroom renovator or if there are no bathroom renovation services available in your area, go online and search for plumbers that offer washroom rebuilding services. Plumbing companies can also help with plumbing-related bathroom projects.

Search for ideas, tips & inspirations on bathroom redesigning on the Internet before you start renovating.  It will give you an idea of what design style is suitable for your bathroom type and what the final result should look like once everything is done.

If you have bathroom renovations on a bathroom addition project, it is best to call the contractor first to determine if they will be able to integrate bathroom renovation ideas with your bathroom addition.

Plan for bathroom renovations and prepare everything beforehand. Have an idea of what bathroom design style suits your taste, budget and lifestyle. For example, if you have a large family or often host parties, choose bathroom design styles that can accommodate more people such as open-plan bathrooms where there is more room for additional fixtures such as bathtubs.

Final Thoughts

Bathroom renovations involve some sort of destruction. Ensure that the part of the bathroom redesign has been completed, such as bathroom plumbing, bathroom electrics and bathroom decoration.

Take time to study the existing bathroom design and layout before you start renovating. It will give you an idea of what should be done with bathroom remodelling.

Keep in mind that bathroom renovations should not only add functional value but also improve your bathroom space by making it more aesthetically pleasing while still ensuring it meets the required building codes and standards for safety and comfort.

Do bathroom renovations in an organized manner to avoid potential damage to other bathroom fixtures and bathroom furnishings. Prepare the bathroom space before you take out old stuff like bathroom cabinets, bathroom flooring or bathroom tiles. Remove all items from bathroom countertops, including bathroom lavatory sinks and bathtubs. Use a mask so as not to inhale toxic fumes from old paint, glue or dust particles.
