What you need to know to repair in the bathroom did not become a chasm in the budget and how to avoid mistakes
Repairs in the bathroom is the biggest item in the budget. It would seem that such a small room, and requires a fairly high cost. The materials we have chosen from the category of "not the most expensive, but the quality."
Where should begin any repairs? Let's look at each step.
- Determine your budget for repairs. There is also need to decide who will do the repairs and how much are these services.
- Choose a master who knows how to lay tile quality, and plumbing installed. We are already faced with the fact that the master who puts the tiles proved quite incompetent in plumbing. He did not realize the size of the tile and adhesive thickness. As a result, the bath did not have 3 cm, to stand in the doorway.
- Draw a rough plan of what and where you will be located, indicating the exact dimensions. This will depend on the location of pipes and wiring.
- Make a sketch, which will be seen as located tiles, where the decor is present.
Such services currently have in almost every hardware store. - When you have finished the sketch of it is already possible to calculate material costs more accurately. Do not forget to lay on the percentage of waste. They will in any case, no matter ka tried master. If you remain a surplus, they always can be taken back to the store.
- By choosing plumbing approach with all responsibility. The choice is huge, pay attention to quality, comfort, ergonomics and design.
I will share with you where and what materials we buy. On water supply, we have decided not to save money and choose the copper pipes. We ordered from a major supplier, which specializes in plumbing.
Then we decided that would be conventional or hanging toilet, bathtub or shower. The choice is made in favor of the tub and hanging toilet. To do this, at the initial stage it was mounted installation. Next, the wizard has started laying tiles.
Tile chosen from the ratio of price and quality. We stopped at two embodiments in Leroy Merlin. This style of "Loft" and "Provence". They both are very popular now. As a result, we made the "Provence".
Bath acrylic choose easy, too, to Leroy Merlin. When choosing a bath, pay attention to the corners. The main thing that they were well cast. We've got a situation that we just did not do it in the store, and already during the installation saw that the tub is uneven. I had to make out a return and replaces.
With sink too need to be determined at an early stage. Since we wanted to sink it in the form of a bowl. Master had to arrange the table top on which it will be located.
Plumbing as faucets and showers, we bought in a specialty store plumbing. Preference was given to European brands, whose impeccable quality.
Bathroom mirror - a very important element. In our case we missed this point. At the beginning of the planning stage, we have not considered that the mirror can be illuminated, and brought him under electricity.
To date, the choice of the light mirrors are much wider than conventional mirrors. They look very stylish and cozy.
Come to repair in the bathroom with all the responsibility. Plan every detail, and then not allow the most common mistakes.
