Steps to Remodel a Bathroom:
1) Plan and Prepare:
- Evaluate Your Space: We need to know what we are working with. You must assess your bathroom space and come up with a vision you want to achieve. And this includes you considering what fixtures you want to keep, replace, or update.
- Budget Planning: Decide on a budget that covers materials, tools, and any professional help you might need.
- Remove Old Fixtures: Safely disconnect and remove any existing fixtures, like vanities or old tiles, to start with a blank canvas.
2) Plumbing and Electrical Work:
- Shut Off Water Supply: For safety reasons, you must shut off your water supply to ensure work is done properly.
- Install New Plumbing Fixtures: Replace and install new pipes where needed as this is key to ensure a a future proof remodel.
- Update Lighting: We are working on a remodel so adding new lights is the easiest upgrade to a bathrooms look. You should follow your manufacturers instructions for their installation.
3) Install New Tiles:
- Measure and Cut: Use a measure tape and tile cutter so you can prepare the tiles according to your design. This is optional unless you have damaged or broken tiles.
- Apply Adhesive and Lay Tiles: Begin with your floor tiles, then moving up to the walls afterward. We recommend you use a level to ensure even placement.
- Grout and Seal: Once your tiles are set, grout the lines and apply some sort of sealant to make the surface water-resistant.
4) Install Vanity and Sink:
- Position and Secure: Place your vanity where desired, using a level to check its alignment. Secure it firmly against the wall. Of course optional unless you need to replace it too.
- Attach Sink: Connect the sink to the water supply and make sure all connections are tight to avoid leaks.
- Seal Edges: Use caulk around the edges for a clean, finished look.
5) Final Touches:
- Add Mirrors and Accessories: Mount any mirrors, shelves, or towel racks according to your design. These accessories will really bring your washroom remodel up a notch so be careful in choosing the right ones which compliment the look you are going for.
- Clean Up: Wipe down all surfaces and fixtures to remove dust or debris left from the remodel. This will give your bathroom the shiny look you have been looking for.
- Inspect for Quality: Double-check that all fixtures are secure, and ensure the space is fully functional and leak-free. This is very recommended as it’ll ensure your bathroom is set for the years to come.
