Undertaking a bathroom remodel is a time of fun and creativity. It is a chance to make a part of your home a better reflection of who you are and what kind of home you want to create. But remodelling your bathroom can take a lot of thinking and a lot of planning, and if you are doing a remodel for the first time, there is always a good chance that you end up making a huge mistake.
Your bathroom is one of the places in your home that can become a true oasis of peace and tranquillity. But there comes a time when your bathroom can really do with a new look, to give it some new life and a few new features to make the space utterly your own. With a little bit of know-how and some help from your local plumbing and construction company, you can end up with the bathroom of your dreams.

Whether you remodel with us, or if you remodel on your own or with someone else, these are the 5 biggest mistakes that you should avoid.
- Not comparing estimates
There is comparing final sums and then there is going over an estimate with a fine tooth comb, ensuring that each and every item is scoured through and perfectly matched so that you know exactly what each item is and what each item costs per estimate. If you fail to thoroughly compare estimates, you could actually be doing yourself an injustice.
- Trying to add too much to the space
Bathrooms are not generally huge rooms which means that you really can’t fit everything into the space that you would ideally want to have. Instead of forcing it all into the room, you should focus on only adding the essentials and maybe a few other things that will make your life a little more comfortable.
- Not paying attention to lighting
The lighting that you use in your bathroom is going to be a little different to the other lighting that you have in your home. Pay attention to how well lit the bathroom is, so that you don’t end up having dark spots in the worst of places, like over mirrors.
- Going over budget
Going over your budget is going to be a huge mistake that might well result in your bathroom remodelling not being properly complete. Make sure that you create a budget and that you stick to it so that you don’t end up with an incomplete project.
- Not opting for the right paint
A lot of bathrooms are tiled these days but there are still bathrooms that are beautifully painted out with a very specific paint. You can’t use regular paint in your bathroom, as your bathroom is going to be exposed to water vapour which can cause the paint to peel.
