White Knight paints have tile paint that you could use to get ride of the blue in the bath - if you want to. Also, i think you missed a word ": do we get rid of the completely or replace with freestanding?" Knocking down any walls and moving plumbing will cost a mint! I would replace the tiles and update the vanity, at the most.

When preparing a house for sale, it is quite advisable to freshen up (at least) kitchen and bathrooms. Potential buyers are often more interested in buying a house that has these elements already done and then add their finishing touches to living room, bedrooms, etc, instead of having to re-do kitchens and bathrooms (because they always feel these will cost a bomb and they might find issues too). I would definitely recommend that you renovate your bathroom so you maximise your chances of selling at a good price. The trick is not to overcapitalise (i.e. spending more than you will gain when selling).

With the bath, I totally second fiona_ab's comment above on pretty much every point she makes. Free-standing baths look great in large bathrooms where they can rally be seen (ideally, we should be able to easily walk around the bath). From the picture I see, your bathroom seems to be a little too small for this. Besides, built-in bath tubs tend to cost significantly less.

I would also not recommend to knock down walls to include the toilets, for the reasons given by both commentators above: privacy/practicality and additional costs involved.

Changing your tiles (floor and walls!), putting in a new white bath tub, replacing current tapware with contemporary ones and installing a new vanity with a large mirror above it will make a massive change to your bathroom and that could be reflected at sale time.

I hope this helps :)

hi :)

Absolutely agree with Twinkle & Whistle,

Changing your tiles (floor and walls!), putting in a new white bath tub, replacing current tapware with contemporary ones and installing a new vanity with a large mirror above it will make a massive change to your bathroom!!!!

Firstly, you don't want to be flying blind into an expensive, and perhaps unnecessary, reno.

Having styled hundreds of homes for sale, I'm much more of a minimalist when it comes to preparing for sale. Viewers only have seconds to assess an area. Painting, changing tap fittings and door handles can create a huge transformation for minimal cost so long as what is underneath is in good working order.

Of course, the most important factor is the expectations of buyers in your area at your price point. I would get out of the bathroom and into open homes in your area and price point. That way you can meet some local agents and see what other homes are selling at your price point. Invite the agent/s who impress you the most into your home. The top ones will give you the benefit of their experience in selling in your area.

Your freestanding bath is stone resin bathtub?
