There are so many areas of your bathroom to consider when thinking about ways to improve how you enjoy it and boosting the value of your property in the meantime. We’ve picked out eight of the areas and features that we believe can really enhance your bathroom when considering renovating the space or refurbishing specific areas. Of course, several of these ideas can be combined as part of a wider bathroom renovation or refurbishment project!
First in our list of ways to improve your bathroom is an aesthetics based idea, painting and decorating! You may wish to keep your current colour scheme and just renew the feel of your bathroom with a lick of paint. Alternatively, you may decide that your current colour scheme has run its course and opt for a completely new look. Whatever you decide upon, our team of established Exeter painters and decorators are on hand to help you achieve the look you have in mind. A lick of paint can give any room in your home a lift and makes spending time in it all the more enjoyable.
Just as the paint brush can provide a new lease of life for dilapidated bathrooms, fresh fixings can also provide something extra. There are so many options out there when it comes to bathroom fixings – we’re talking both water and light fixings – and choosing these features can be a difficult choice to make.
Our top tip is to assess your current interior or visualise the style of bathroom that you are working towards and make an informed decision based on your ideas. Another thing to consider, which your budget will most likely determine, is whether you are going to purchase brand new fixtures or refine the fixtures already in your bathroom. Either way, our bathroom fitters in Exeter will be on hand to see you right.
Old tiles can leave your bathroom looking really unappealing. Worn out tiles may not allow you to enjoy your bathroom to the fullest and, what’s more, if you are looking to sell your home anytime soon, prospective buyers may be put off. Your old tiles can also cause structural damage to your bathroom, with leaky tiles being a gateway to water damage on walls and the floor. So, if your bathroom tiles have seen better days, get in touch with our bathroom fitters to fix the issue.
If you don’t yet have tiles in your bathroom, you may wish to consider adding some. Tiles can be a fantastic addition from both an aesthetic and practical perspective. We recently shared our Top 5 Tiling Ideas For Bathrooms – take a look today and determine the best tiling solution for your bathroom!
If you don’t have the budget for re-tiling, taking care of renewing your grout can be a great way of improving your bathroom. Grinding out old grout and refilling it is a task that our Devon bathroom fitters are well acquainted to and we can sort your grout as part of a wider bathroom refurbishment project or as a one off improvement. Just like exhausted grout can make your bathroom look outdated, manky sealant can have the same effect. Don’t stand for it! Check around your shower and bath, in particular, to see if your sealant needs some attention.
Looking to add a little pop to your bathroom? Consider a statement wall or ceiling. This idea can really revitalise your bathroom and there are so many design options available to you. Encapsulate the essence of your personality in a single wall! Painting a wall a different colour to the rest of the bathroom and adding in some funky illustrations could do the job. Alternatively, you may wish to look at wallpaper and we know how many options there are when it comes to wallpaper. Make sure you look for washable, extra water durable or scrubbable wallpapering options when making your choice.
If you already have wooden finishes around your bathroom, does the wood need treating to return it to its former glory? Check your wooden bath side and end panels, as well as your toilet seat, and determine if the wood needs treating or is better off replaced altogether. Adding wooden panels and finishes around your bathroom is a contemporary way of reinvigorating the space. At Cowley’s Building and Maintenance, we love wood finishes and what better place to have them than the bathroom? The choice is entirely yours when it comes to which type of wood you choose and the colours you wish to implement, but do check with our team first to ensure your wood is bathroom-friendly.
Flooring may be one of the most expensive ideas on our list of eight ways to improve your current bathroom, but it is an important aspect. Of course, the expense of the job relates to the size of the bathroom. With the average British bathroom being quite small, your flooring may not be as expensive as first thought. Whether you have cracks in your current flooring, tiles that need replacing or vinyl flooring that is curling up at the ends, our bathroom fitters are waiting in the wings to provide you with new, flawless flooring. So, if you’re thinking of improving your bathroom in 2021, it may be an idea to start from the ground up.
Last but definitely not least is a practical and space saving idea to improve your bathroom. This comes in the form of storage compartments. Declutter your bathroom and take back ownership of the entire space by having a tallboy or storage cabinet installed, for example. This will please the inner-organiser within you and give you more room to move around in your new look bathroom! Not only can our bathroom fitters in Exeter create you a new bathroom from the very foundations, but we can also carry out the more routine jobs, such as inputting draws, shelves and cupboards for storage.
