A well done bathroom renovation could easily double your return for the renovation investment, that is why it is important to ensure you have the right builder leading the job. Here are Inti Construction's Top 3 bathroom renovation tips:
Top Tip #3 – Fixtures matter
Quality fixtures not only make your bathroom look stunning they also go along way to ensuring you have no annoying water wastage or leaking behind the wall. Get advice from your builder or plumber, they have installed enough to be able to tell you what is a good brand and what isn’t.
Top Tip #2 – Don’t skimp on the shower, toilet or tub
Although it may be tempting to find ways to ‘trim the fat’ in your bathroom renovation, skimping on things like the shower stall, toilet or tub aren’t it. We have fixed numerous bathroom renovation disasters due to cheap and poor quality showers being installed.
Even when installed by a professional, if the shower stall has a design flaw in the way it discards the water you can have leaking behind it, rotting away the walls and floor underneath. The amount saved on a cheaper shower stall, toilet, or tub is NOT worth the cost of having to re-renovate your new bathroom a year or two later due to a badly designed cheap shower, toilet or tub.
