How to save on repairs in the bathroom and avoid mistakes

The story of their repair in a bathroom to share with us, our subscribers will.

Repair - for many it sounds like a death sentence, we - not the exception. We went to him for a long time. Pushing us, basically, "khalyavnykh" wall tiles, boxes stored on the balcony. We felt - it was enough for half of the walls, took up his head: "how many more need to buy ?!". But, as the saying goes, the eyes are afraid - the hands are doing.

Initially, you need to sort through everything.

stages of repair

• Preparing the room. In our case, we scraped from the walls of plaster and paint on the floor and beat back the concrete floor.
• Felt floor space and walls. You can simply measure the LWH as in any hardware store for you the seller considers the area under a certain type of product. The ceiling decided to make the tension, so its not take into account, and safely reduce the height of the walls 8-10.

• Decided on the materials: had to purchase the second half of the wall tiles, the tiles on the floor, a mixer and a bath.

IMPORTANTInasmuch as we have been part of the wall tiles, the other half had to be selected under the current one. Yes, as it turned out, not only in color but also in width. Otherwise the curves are obtained joints.

• Promonitorit prices. As a rule, in a variety of home improvement stores, there is something less and something more. Therefore, choose something in between, we Ufa has a large shop "Leroy", besides he was not far from home.

The most expensive was the floor tiles, was lucky that it was only necessary to 2 m2 in our repairs. Under the bathroom tile, we did not put as unnecessary and to save.

• Tile we lozhili, from opposite the entrance angle, departing from one tile floor up to the result is a smooth seam between the wall and the floor. In the process of laying tile, we were guided by the golden rule: "Measure twice - cut once." Therefore, the process took longer than we had planned.
• Established a bath and a mixer Here were the most unpleasant incidents. Mixer never ceased to flow. What did not tried: and various gaskets, and fum - tape, until one nice seller did not tell us a magic bullet - a gel seal carving. And lo and behold! Leak stopped.

• Realize the floor compared with the walls seemed a mere trifle. The main thing is to put in two ways:
• Put all the tiles, leaving the approaches to the bath. Dries it day and a bath you will most likely come in handy.
• The next day, we report the remains of the floor and walls. On this site the next day and we do not go.
• Angles missed white sealant and grout joints usual.

• Grout took two colors for different tile colors. But in the end, when it has dried, the color difference we did not notice.

• The final stage, and my favorite - arrangement. Well, there's all that will allow imagination and wallet.

All successful renovation!
