Renovating a bathroom is a complex task that requires a great deal of thought and care. Unfortunately, that care is not always readily apparent when it comes to some particular bathroom renovation mishaps. Here are just some of the ways that demonstrate what not to do in a bathroom remodel.
Expect Delays
First and foremost, you have to be prepared for severe disruption to your routine – be prepared to ask your neighbours or a relative if you can borrow their shower for as long as is required. In any case, you should have a backup plan in place before work begins, especially if you’re a particularly routine driven person.
Furthermore, there may be complications in the renovation process, so ensure you account for these in your plans. Unexpected issues can cause problems at any point, and that’s something you need to be prepared for.
Storage Space
Your dream bathroom is complete, and it looks awesome. But what about storage? Where are you going to put everything? As a result, it looks cluttered and overcrowded – a balance needs to be met when it comes to where you put everything.
What good is a pristine bathroom space if everything is essentially scattered around all over the place? It’s a problem you can easily avoid with the right planning in place.
Avoid Timber
Though a wooden floor can look wonderful and can suit the look of a bathroom well, traditional timber floors are not suitable for wet areas. Mould and mildew could cause issues over time. Instead, opt for waterproof flooring, like porcelain tiles, which are easier to maintain over the long term and prolong the life of your bathroom refit.
Ultimately, liaising with experts throughout the process is essential. When you want to make that dream bathroom a reality, give our expert builders at Straight Up Builders a call for bathroom renovations in the Tauranga area.
