Affordable Revamp And Reno Tips For Your Bathroom

The bathroom provides privacy, a place to relax, and get organized. It is also a room where you can create storage and combine both practicality and beauty in its design. If you feel that your bathroom is too cramped, lacks storage, or is simply outdated, there are ways you can revamp its look and feel without a complete renovation. It all starts with your budget and looking at what you need to tackle first.

How Much Can You Spend on Your Home Improvement?

Before you can decide on the upgrades to perform, you need to think about what you can spend. Take a look at your bathroom; what do you want to change? Are you thinking of removing and replacing the tiles? The average cost of tile renovation depends o the size of the room. A 10 x 10 space will cost an average $300 for tile removal and up to $1600 for installation. You could try to do the job yourself, but if you chip at the wall and create uneven surfaces, you’ll be spending a lot more on professional repairs.

Look at what you want to change, research the average costs for material and labor (where professional assistance is needed) and then you can determine what you can afford.

Bathroom Reno Hacks On a Budget

Renovating bathrooms is a great way to add value to your home, but if you aren’t looking to spend a large amount of money on a remodel, there are simply and inexpensive ways of sprucing up the space.

Paint or Stick-On Tiles

If you want a new look to the tiles on the walls, the easiest alternative to permanent fixtures is painting the tile or using a stick-on tile. To paint tiles, you’ll need a primer and an acrylic paint formula. Consider watching a few Youtube videos on painting tiles to help you achieve a seamless result.

Stick on tiles are available in different colors and patterns and you can find it at a local hardware or refurbishing store. You can also find these peel on and off tiles online.

Refurbish Your Tub

Bathtubs can become stained over time but instead of replacing the whole tub which is incredibly costly, you can repaint it with an acrylic refurbishing kit. This can be a little bit tricky, so you need to plan and prepare correctly to ensure you get an even result. If you aren’t sure about a DIY tub refurbish, there are professionals who come out, sand the bath, and repaint it to get it looking goods as new.

Storage/Shelf Ladder

Storage ladders have become a popular choice to personalize your home without permanent fixtures or damage. It is also the perfect addition for a bathroom. It won’t take up a lot of space and helps you store towels, trinkets, and essentials. You can find it in different materials such as bamboo, plastic, and varnished wood.

Simple Storage

Consider things like shower caddies, bath trays, and upcycling glass jars to place your odds & ends. It makes the room look and feel more organized and helps to reduce clutter and a cramped appearance.

A Good Clean

Nothing beats a really deep clean for any type of bathroom. Scrub the tiles, wash the blinds, clean the bath, vanity, shower, and taps with a compatible cleaning agent. Avoid the use of harsh detergents such as bleach as this will degrade the tiles and grout. Wipe the light fittings and door handles to restore its shine and remove any rust. If you notice bath drainage holes or shower drainage with rust, you can replace these fittings by purchasing new ones at your hardware or bath stores. Once you’re done, add a diffuser for some fresh fragrance and an indoor plant for a decorative personal touch.

Plan and prepare and you could be giving your bathroom a new fresh look within your budget. If you are considering a large scale renovation, research into bathroom remodelers and designers can prevent disaster and create a beautiful, luxurious space. Remember, if you aren't experienced in bath-related renovations, don't try to cut corners because you could be dealing with expensive damage a month or a few months down the line. Entrust the process to professionals and get a workmanship guarantee so you can call them should anything go wrong.
