Updating your tired looking bathroom

by on Nov.24, 2011, under Bathrooms, DIY Tips, Home Improvements

A quality fitted bathroom has come to be viewed as one of the most important features of a modern house, whether as a haven to relax in or simply as an efficient and hygienic space to have a quick shower before work.  Working with an experienced bathroom fitter, as well as a reputable plumber, during your remodel can help to ensure the job is done properly, with shower trays that are leak-free and bathroom furniture that is fitted accurately.  Decent bathroom suites need not cost a fortune; however, and can be embellished with upmarket accessories such as taps or shower enclosures.  

Luxury tiles can make bathrooms feel more opulent and special.  Many modern homes now also include a wet room, which is a fully tiled ‘walk-in’ shower area complete with under floor drainage.  In some cases, wet rooms have replaced the traditional bathroom suite altogether.  Proving to be both modern and stylish, this room does away with the need for a separate shower tray, shower cubicle or shower enclosure, and can provide an elegant design solution for a home with limited space. 

An enterprising idea might be to convert an unused cupboard or redundant space under the stairs into a small but effective bathroom, whether it contains a shower cubicle, full bathroom suite, or simply a toilet and sink to provide extra cloakroom facilities.  When it comes to selling a house in today’s competitive market, estate agents often agree that an additional bathroom or shower can make the difference and give your property the edge.
