Queensland Bathroom Renovations

You simply cannot endure another day with that tiny ivory toilet and those pink bathroom tiles in your tub. You've finally made the decision to renovate your bathroom, but you need more money to include all the extras you'd like. What will you do as a result?

We'll outline our few top suggestions on Bathroom Renovations on a Budget. With the help of our advice, you can refresh the bathroom's appearance and increase the value of your house without compromising on either quality or price!

Unless you won the lottery, you probably have a budget for your bathroom makeover that you need to keep within. All of us would adore having the stunning, opulent spa-like bathroom of our dreams. There is, however, a limit to the amount of money available due to reality. You may still renovate your bathroom on a budget by using some of the available methods.

1. Continue to place the fixtures in the same spots.

Plumbing is one of the most expensive aspects of a bathroom renovation. You can save a lot of money on the plumbing if you can keep your toilet, vanity, tub, and/or shower in exactly the same places.

Relocating fixtures, notably the toilet, requires a lot of work. If the fixture placements in your bathroom are functioning as they are, leave them alone.

There is undoubtedly less expense involved in turning your bathtub into a walk-in shower than in putting your shower in a completely different place.

2. Vinyl flooring planks

Although tile floors are typically preferred for bathrooms, choosing vinyl plank flooring can save you a lot of money. In most circumstances, you don't have to remove the current flooring, and the installation is significantly less expensive than the labour to install a tile floor. This reduces the cost of demolition and disposal.

Both our clients and we adore vinyl plank flooring. It is not only very strong and available in a wide range of patterns and colours, but it is also completely waterproof. Vinyl plank is softer and warmer to stand on than tile, which can be cold and unyielding.

3. Own up to some of the demolition

Try completing some of the demolition yourself if you have a few handyman skills. However, be mindful of your limitations. If you really lack plumbing expertise, avoid attempting to disassemble your bathroom shower. That does not preclude you from removing the related wallboard and the tiles from the interior of the tub or shower, though. You can save money on labour costs with your contractor if you do the demolition and disposal yourself.

Consider removing the toilet, vanity, and bathtub or shower yourself if you are a little handy and can handle some of the plumbing. But be careful not to guess; make sure you know what you're doing. Additionally, don't rely on YouTube videos. Do not begin now if you are truly unsure and have never performed this type of plumbing before. The possibility of a significant leak could cause all of the savings from performing this demolition yourself to be lost.

You can handle the disposal and save a few hundred dollars in disposal expenses even if you are not skilled or at ease handling any of the destruction yourself.

In conclusion, there are numerous strategies to reduce the cost of bathroom renovations. You'll learn what you absolutely must have and what can wait if you make a list of your requirements and goals. When it comes time to refurbish your bathroom, take some of the above-discussed cost-saving suggestions into account.
