4 Renovation Updates to Save You Money in the Bathroom

The bathroom is one of the essential rooms in a home. Not only is it a place where you can get ready for the day, but it’s also a place where you can relax and unwind. That’s why it’s important to ensure your bathroom is updated and in good condition. This blog has got you covered if you’re looking for ways to save money on your renovation updates.

1) Install a new boiler:

If your boiler is more than 15 years old, it’s time to start thinking about replacing it. A new boiler will not only be more energy-efficient, but it will also save you money on your monthly energy bills. Installing a new boiler can be a significant upfront investment, but it will definitely save you money in the long run. If you’re unsure whether you should replace your old boiler, talk to a professional for their opinion.

In addition, you can also arrange for boiler cover when you get a new boiler. This will help to protect your investment and ensure that you won’t have to pay for repairs or replacements if something goes wrong.

2) Give your bathroom a fresh coat of paint:

One of the quickest and easiest ways to update your bathroom is to give it a fresh coat of paint. If your bathroom walls look dingy or outdated, a new coat of paint can make a world of difference. When choosing a colour, opt for something light and airy. This will help to make your bathroom feel more spacious and inviting.

Old paint can also turn yellow over time, so it’s vital to get rid of any old paint before you start painting your bathroom. And don’t forget to paint the trim and ceiling! A fresh coat of white paint will help brighten up the space and make it feel cleaner and fresh.

3) Update your bathroom fixtures:

Another way to update your bathroom is to replace your old fixtures with new ones. This includes things like your sink, toilet, shower, and bathtub. For example, if you have an old pedestal sink, you can replace it with a new vanity. This will give you more storage space and help to make your bathroom look more updated. You can also replace your old toilet with a low-flow model to save money on your water bill. And if you’re looking for a way to add some luxury to your bathroom, consider installing a rain shower head in your shower.

Updating your bathroom fixtures is a great way to save money in the long run because it will help reduce water waste. In addition, new fixtures can also add value to your home if you ever decide to sell.

4) Install new flooring:

If your bathroom floor looks worn out or dated, it’s time to consider installing new flooring. There are many different types of bathroom flooring to choose from, so you’re sure to find something that fits your style and budget. Tile is famous for bathroom floors because it’s durable and easy to clean. But if you’re looking for something softer underfoot, you can also opt for vinyl or linoleum. These materials are also very affordable and easy to install.

When choosing new flooring for your bathroom, make sure to take into consideration the amount of traffic the room gets. If you have a large family or frequently have guests over, you’ll want to choose a material that can withstand a lot of foot traffic.

In conclusion, these are just a few ways to save money on your bathroom renovation. By making these simple updates, you’ll be able to enjoy your bathroom for years to come without breaking the bank.
