7 Bathroom renovations tips

without Professional Help

Bathroom renovation   can be a complicated process. Not only are there are several steps involved,

but you also need to take into account many important considerations to achieve the look you want.
While some households can afford to hire professionals, you will be surprised to know that much of

bathroom remodeling can be done without their help. So before you jump into your bathroom

renovation project, give our bathroom renovations tips and tricks a read to make sure you are ready for

the task at hand.

1. Planning

No coach goes into a football game without a game plan, so you shouldn’t go into a bathroom renovation

 project without a proper plan. Your plan has to take into account the existing

condition of your bathroom and what can be done to achieve the look you have in mind.

Do you intend to give your small bathroom a more elegant look? Or do you wish to make

it convenient and easy to clean? Your answers to such questions will help you arrive at

a plan of action.

2. Define your expectations and needs

For a DIY bathroom remodeling project, set your budget, needs and expectations. It is

also important to pick materials in line with your budget and vision early on so that your

project stays on track.

3. Keep plumbing where it is

Moving a sink or a tub is not only costly, but it is very time-consuming. Unless your

bathroom remodel aims to strip the bathroom from top to bottom, try to keep the

plumbing where it originally is to avoid buildup in costs and unnecessary time delays.

4. Keep the sink height in mind

The typical countertop in a bathroom is 30 to 35 inches from the floor. When adding a

new sink, consider how it will affect the countertop’s height. For an above-counter sink,

the counter height will need to be lowered to be at a comfortable height for everyday use.

5. Remodel the toilet

Many will likely want to replace their toilet in a bathroom remodel. There is another

option, however, if you want to refresh the look and save money on the purchase and

installation of a new toilet (unless it is broken and needs to be replaced, of course). Try

replacing the toilet seat to give it a new look. It is an easy way of improving the look of

your bathroom at a reasonable cost.

6. Let there be light

Lighting can make or break the look and ambience of any space. Bathroom is no exception.

If you have a dim bathroom, consider adding more lighting to it. Search for discounts at

your local hardware stores in Toronto to get the perfect lighting fixtures at affordable prices.

And if your house structure allows, consider a skylight or other form of natural lighting.

7. Tile size matters

When purchasing tiles for your bathroom, double check to ensure that you’re getting the right

size. Tiles are typically measured in millimeters instead of inches. Make sure you get the

measurements correct, otherwise your  project will suffer a serious setback.
