HERE ARE 7 KEY TIPS ON HOW TO REMODEL YOUR BATHROOM SPACE WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!
PLAN AHEAD
Before you start taking out that old tile or unscrewing any knobs, create a plan and budget for your bathroom upgrade. Having a laid out written plan will help you stay on track as the project begins and progresses. Your plan and budget should include anything you would like to update, replace or add to the bathroom including material costs, and possible labour costs.
During any remodelling project, one of the costliest things you can do is change your plans halfway through. There are definitely times during the progress of a remodel changes are unavoidable such as, when you cut into a wall and discover a leak, but for the most part proper planning within the budget can be achieved. If a carefully laid out renovation plan is not in place, this not only can cause delays in the project or wasted time spent changing the fixtures and materials for different ones; it also requires you to pay contractors to redo work already started or completed. It’s much less costly to know in advance for example, that you don’t want the toilet to be the first thing guests see when they open the door vs realizing this is an issue after the fact when its already been installed.
So, the first step in any bathroom remodel is planning. Before you buy anything or hire anyone, think about what you want from your new bathroom. Ask yourself what doesn’t work for you now in your current bathroom and devise how this can be fixed. Make a list of everything you want in your remodeled bathroom, and then divide the list into must-have and nice-to-have….
