The bathroom is an important department in your home; every upgrade to this space will not only improve your home’s value but also give you a much better convenience. Nothing compares to a fully-functional bathroom where you can get a hot bath after a very long day. Most times, however, we tend to find no indication or sign that will prompt us to consider revamping our bathroom. This is normal, considering that most of these problems are hardly conspicuous – you find them behind the tiles and the fixtures. In this piece, we will be taking a look at some of these signs and how you can discover them.
1. A string of problems
The first pointer to an impending bathroom revamp is a string of issues. The moment you experience leaking, followed by dripping and failure of bathroom fixtures, you should consider updating your plumbing system (like fixing your leaking tap for example) and fishing out these issues. The primary benefit of an revamp over a single fix is that the latter identifies all problems in the system. It also saves you time, and in the long run, money.
2. A bathroom water leak
The major headache with a leak is often trying to find out where it came from. Stains along the bottom of walls and doors can indicate a leak from pipes behind a wall. A damp environment encourages structural damages and mould, unless it is treated. Although an revamp will mean you have no bathroom to use for some days, it must be done and done fast. For best results, work with an expert and get an inspection before the project commences. In some cases, you may have to replace your floorboards, along with your bathroom tiles and toilet.
3. Preparing to sell your house
Many things attract a potential buyer to a house, and a sparkling new bathroom is one of them. Realistically, you can complete a small bathroom renovation problem with just a small budget. You will not have to spend much on flooring, tiles, and bath, relative to what a complete revamp of your home will cost. You can make your home more appealing by renovating the bathroom. But before diving into your renovation project, take a look at some considerations and tips to maximise your effort.
4. Damp and Condensation Issues
Your bathroom is literally inseparable from dampness and condensation. If left untreated, the situation can worsen and make the bathroom unusable, in addition to reducing its value. The early signs include the presence of a black mould near the floor or in the corners of the bathroom roof. A remodelling project, in this case, will include fixing or installing an extractor fan to get rid of the excess moisture and a cost of mould resistant paint.
Your bathroom, at any point in time, must be comfortable, funtional and suit your household. Anything short of this warrants a revamp. Whatever the problem is, from a lack of storage to bad lighting, you should fix it and ensure that your well-being is at its best.
