Whichever way you look at bathroom remodeling can be an expensive exercise. So before you start into the remodel project its a very good idea to to have some down some background work. You really need to have some idea of the following items:

What is Your Remodeling Budget?

Your budget should be based on two things: what you can afford and what your house is worth. There is no point putting a $10,000 bathroom in a $100,000 home – you will never get your money back when it comes to sell. Alternatively if you can only afford $2,000 – you can probably make a much more comfortable bathroom for yourselves and your family.

What Are Your Bathroom Redmodel Priorities?

List your top “hates” in prioriity: what is it that you hate about the current bathroom? Lack of bath? Lack of storage space? The fact that its dark and cold in the winter? If you really want a bath – then a touch of redecorating is not going to do it for you!

What Are the Structural Limitations?

If there are existing plans for your bathroom – find them. You or your contractors needs to know where the power and plumbing runs. You may have to take a guess if you don’t have plans – but be prepared with contingency in your budget if you start to remove a wall and discover it structural or has major power cables thru it!

Seek Advice on the Practicallity of Bathroom Fittings You Love!

If you love the idea of a 2-person spa bath and have the space and the budget great – but don’t forget that your hotwater system will need to be up to it an the floor will need to support hte weight of the full bath! Not all plumbing systems work together – particularly very high pressure shower heads require modern water systems to make them work. Never buy any appliance until you have been advised by a registered plumber that it will work in your home.
