How To Update Your Bathroom On A Budget

Blog

If you have a bathroom that's stuck in the 1950's, then you may feel like you're in an episode of Leave It To Beaver every time you step foot in your bathroom. Rather than spending the rest of the time in your house having to stare at pink and blue tile, it's time to update your bathroom. But, if you don't think you have it in your budget to do an entire gut job, this article will list a few ways that you can update your bathroom on a budget. Read on learn more. 

Bathtub Refinishing

Bathtub refinishing companies work by putting a thin layer of material over the top of your existing bathtub or shower to help get rid of the look of old tile, cracks, and chips. Plus, because the process itself is so easy, it doesn't take very long for it to be done. Depending on the severity of the condition of your bathtub, the bathtub refinishing company may go with this traditional method, or they may decide to go with something else altogether. 

Paint

You may be surprised to see just how much of a difference a fresh coat of white paint will make on any room; especially a small room like a bathroom. Try either painting the entire bathroom yourself or have it hired out. Just remember that even though colors like navy blue and dark green are popular right now, they will only make your bathroom look dark and dingy. 

New Flooring

New flooring is going to be one of the most expensive things that you do when you are updating your budget, but it will be a lot more affordable than gutting your entire bathroom. To save on some money, try tearing out your existing flooring on your own; that way you don't have to pay for it. When choosing new flooring for your bathroom, choose something that will go along with everything else that you have in your bathroom right now if you can't replace everything at this moment. 

Vanity

A new vanity can be as cheap as only a couple hundred of dollars and can be installed very easily. Just make sure that if you are doing new flooring that you properly measure your cabinet so that the cabinet covers enough space and there aren't any gaps. 

Updating your bathroom doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg by using these tips, it can hopefully be a bit more affordable. For more information, contact a company like Tub Solutions Inc.

I hired this professional to build a huge, master bedroom addition onto my home. I decided to turn my small bedroom into a comfortable guest room.
