How a Bathroom Renovation Can Add Value to Your Home

Image
Adding new bathroom fixtures, a fresh coat of paint, and new storage options can add value to your home. These cosmetic changes are considered a remodel and do not require a permit. A renovation involves more significant changes to your bathroom layout and will require a permit. Examples include converting a tub into a shower, moving the toilet, or increasing storage. Budget A bathroom renovation is an opportunity to make a visible difference in your home. While some costs are nonnegotiable, others can be reduced through choices and sweat equity. Replacing flooring and paint are simple ways to freshen the look of a bath. Adding new lighting is another affordable way to transform the space. The cost of a bathroom remodel varies widely depending on the scope of work and the materials you choose.

What You Need to Know About Bathtub Restoration

Bathroom remodeling can be a complicated process with numerous details to consider. A bathtub reno is an excellent way to update your en suite bath and boost your home’s curb appeal. You can also replace a bathtub with a shower stall for a more modern look or to save space. Costs The wet area in a bathroom, which includes the bathtub and shower, is usually one of the most costly parts of a home remodel. Whether it’s a new tub, shower liner or other upgrade, there are a lot of moving parts. Demolition costs are typically the first step, and they can run between $50 to $120 per structure.

Choosing tile for bathroom renovation affects the room’s look and feel. But it’s important to focus on function too. One simple way to update bathroom tile without a complete remodel is with decals. These adhesive stickers stick to clean tiles and come off easily when it’s time for a change. Ceramic Tile Ceramic tile is a cost-friendly option for floors, walls and backsplashes. It comes in a variety of styles and is available in colors to suit any design aesthetic. It can be glazed or unglazed, but most homeowners have glazed ceramic tiles. Both porcelain and ceramic tile are durable, water-resistant and easy to maintain with routine damp mopping and period sealing of the grout lines. However, porcelain is denser and less porous than ceramic, making it better suited to heavy traffic and moisture. For a bathroom floor, consider adding a pattern to the tiles. For example, a herringbone or chevron pattern can add movement and elegance, while a plank-shaped tile like the Portugalia P...
