How To Know It’s Time To Remodel Your Bathroom
The bathroom is the one room in the house where we can style as we please – our own personal space that should exude comfort. However, much like other rooms in the house, there comes a time when renovation is needed.
Here are a few tell-tale signs that the time has come to plan a bathroom renovation.
- Wallpaper Damage – Even good quality wallpaper has a lifespan and if you are handy with your hands and looking for a new DIY project, redecorating the bathroom is the perfect plan. Condensation can damage wallpaper and you might want to consider replacing the wallpaper with ceramic tiles, which come in all colours, with attractive patterns.
- Stains On The Basin – Constant dripping water can cause damage to ceramics and porcelain, and aside from looking ugly, it is a sign to replace the vanity and bath. Visit your local bathroom showroom in Farnham or if you are located elsewhere, a quick Google search should lead you to a shop near you. Check out the stunning bathroom suites at knock-down prices and feel free to ask the staff questions; they would be happy to advise on any aspect of bathroom renovation. Once you calculate a total budget, you can start looking at items and with many on special, you can find some real bargains at your local bathroom showroom.
- Cabinet Issues – The bathroom cabinet doors no longer open properly and the surfaces are not exactly pristine; this is a time to think about replacements and while you are looking at a new vanity, you might as well replace that old corner shower with a digital unit. If you are going to replace the shower, the bathtub could be replaced, or removed completely if you have limited space. If the bathroom is small, why not have storage cabinets made by a local joiner? This will make good use of those recesses and corners, giving you all the storage space you need.
- Plumbing Issues – If the bathroom plumbing is often playing up, you might as well go for a complete revamp. Whether DIY or using a bathroom designer in Weybridge or in your location, you can redesign the bathroom from the floor up. It can be difficult to know where to draw the line when renovating a room and taking everything out and starting again is often the best approach. Once everything is removed from the room, plumbing alterations can easily be done; you can put the shower where it is most suited and even add some underfloor heating at the same time.
- Leaking Taps – Eventually, a faucet will leak, when the rubber degenerates to a point where the water pressure wins and if your taps are that old, a new bathroom suite is in order. Changing the bathroom suite is the right time to redecorate and think about new light fittings and a change of flooring. Luxury vinyl is very popular for bathroom flooring, as it is waterproof and very durable.
Time flies and before you know it, the time has come for some home renovations and by visiting your local bathroom showroom, you can choose something luxurious and make your bathroom a pleasant place to spend your time.
