Designing a new bathroom isn’t an easy task. It’s also not cheap, especially if the plumbing needs to be moved around. Unlike renovation, which simply upgrades or repairs an existing space, remodelling changes the layout and style. Carefully evaluating household needs, and incorporating elements that improve functionality is the key to success. Layout A new bathroom has to be both functional and beautiful. And it must comply with codes and regulations for sizing, placement, and type of fixtures. That’s why it’s important to get the basics right, starting with a layout that maximizes space and makes the most of available light.

This allows two people to use the bathroom at once and maintains open floor space in the center of the room. Whenever possible, try to keep existing plumbing in place. Relocating drains, water lines, and electrical wiring can be costl...

When installing peel-and-stick tile, it’s important to carefully read the instructions and prepare the wall or floor surface correctly. If the surface isn’t smooth and primed properly, the adhesive may cause problems, such as twisted or cracked tiles. It’s also important to follow the arrows on the back of the tile to ens...

A small bathroom remodel can address problems such as a tub that leaks, mildew growth, outdated decor or a lack of storage. Upgrades can also improve daily routines by adding a niche for shampoo or more space to store toilet paper. Homeowners can cut labor costs by refinishing fixtures or painting themselves and buying cheaper materials. They should avoid changing the layout of the room as this requires extensive plumbing work. Materials The materials needed for your bathroom remodel will determine the overall price of the renovation. The finish level and quality of the vanity, bathtub and fixtures, as well as the type of flooring chosen, will influence costs. High-end elements like artisan faucets, custom mosaic tile and unique materials for countertops add up quickly. Paint is another significant expense, while new light fixtures and ventilation fans add up as well. The size of the room and scope of the project will also influence material costs, as in the case of converting a ...
