Everybody knows that remodelling your bathroom is one of the best home improvements you can make...but not everybody does it. If you're considering taking the plunge to turn your cramped, ugly bathroom into a bright, beautiful space, then this guide is for you.
Bathroom remodelling is one of the most difficult remodelling jobs because, unlike most rooms in your house, bathrooms slowly accumulate all sorts of dirt and grime. These dirty deposits form a severe challenge for the crew installing the new cabinets and fixtures. Most homeowners think that it's not worth the effort to remove this dirt because it's waterproof and will stay put forever, but you should know it's not going anywhere — except up into the new walls, caulking, and cabinets.
Your bathroom remodel can be a success only if you start out with a clean slate. To prepare the surfaces for new materials you need to get rid of all residues left by old products and make sure that your boring white walls, mirrors, sinks, tubs and baths are sparkling like they were when they were brand-new.
On top of this, there's other things to do to prepare your bathroom once it's squeaky clean! Here are some tips on how to prepare for a plumbing contractor to remodel your bathroom.
1. Take measurements of your bathroom before calling any contractors. This will help you figure out how much space we can work with and how much money it will cost. It's good to know what the budget is for this project and what kind of timeline you're working with.
2. Make sure you have an idea of what kind of look you want for your bathroom before contacting a contractor. This will help us understand what kind of design they should be looking at when we come over to see the space.
3. Know what kind of materials are going into the remodelling process so that we know what kind of products will be needed for the job (i.e., tile flooring, granite countertops).
4. It's also important to have any permits or inspections that may be required by local regulations in order for the contractor to get started on their work. Once everything is ready, it's time to call us in!
At the end, you'll need to decide what bathroom remodelling style best suits your needs and preferences. Whether you go with a small or large style may depend on your budget, but in our years of experience, helping people just like yourself make informed remodelling decisions, we would have to recommend that using high quality materials like tile, stone and ceramic—including solid surface countertops—with a properly installed waterproof subfloor will provide years of maintenance-free living in your bathroom.
