Budget bathroom makeover
New house and tight budget, decided to source as much as possible cheaply and do the tiling myself. Costs : Tiles £250 (B&Q special offers) Tile boards £100 Adhesive/ grout and trims £100 Sink £0 secondhand gift from in-laws! Toilet £70 (marketplace, RRP £300) new Bath £100 (marketplace RRP £500) new Panel £30 (marketplace RRP £150) new Shower £55 online B&Q Bath tap £45 online Radiator £50 online Window ledge £10 strip wood, stained Mirror cabinet £200 Amazon Accessories £40 Bath screen £50 Plumber £300 (1.5 days work) Electrician £100 (0.5 days work) I make this to be £1500, with sundries like paint, filler, silicone, light pull and new vent grille adding a max of £100 then this conversion cost around £1600 including labour, people I work with who do me a good price but only on an as-available basis so can’t be hurried at that price! Leading to tile has been tough but rewarding and there are still some problems with the flooring levels to sort as some of the grout cracking, but overall I’m pleased! Biggest tip is to search for anything you want on marketplace. The new items came from two people who had had wrong or double deliveries and the companies didn’t want the stock back so they were happy to sell for cheap! submitted by /u/YorkieN [link] [comments]
