So you’ve planned to renovate your bathroom. Now before you go and start sledgehammering all the stuff, there might be a step you’re missing. Renovating your bathroom yourself is completely fine, but you always suggest that you plan your activities following what you want. And to avoid any silly mistakes which ultimately ruin your experience, planning stepwise is a beautiful counter activity. However, planning doesn’t ensure that you will be satisfied, but it prepares you for the renovation you want.
Steps for bathroom renovations
- Budgeting – Determining your budget is essential. Writing down what you need and what you’re willing to spend on it is an excellent response to not over dragging on your budget.
- Inspiration – Know what you want. If you don’t, look for designs done by others, choose which one suits your style. Then find the same materials which fall within your budget.
- Assessing – Measure all of the required utilities. It will give you a better idea of how to use the space around you efficiently. It is recommended that you keep at least a 30” area around every utility you’re installing. But this is adjustable as to your preferences. You may like a lot of space, and you may like it compact. Just make sure you measure it right.
- Sourcing – Now that you’ve laid out a budget and are practically ready to start with the real work, start by buying the fixtures meeting the above-calculated requirements. Pay particular emphasis on if they fit in your budget or not.
- Outsourcing – If they work seems like a lot, look for a professional. Plumbers are experts in their jobs and happen to know more about this than you. Please don’t take a hit on your pride; it is okay to want professional help.
- Renovate – The time has come to start working, be it yourself or employing a professional. Be ready to deal with the inconveniences because Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will your bathroom. Work hard and work fast if you’re working on your own. Try not to interfere if you’ve hired a plumber.
