bathroom reno bath or no bath
Comments (8)I agree. A real estate agent told me that no bathtub can devalue a house and make it difficult to sell. Unless of course your area is more for singles/couples. I am about to renovate my bathroom and I am keeping the bath and making the shower bigger. I need to sacrifice the size of the cabinet/hand basin but with so many unique storage ideas out there, I will still have sufficient room for a family's bathroom needs....See Moreshower/bath options if shower drain is the only one in the bathroom?
Comments (3)Hi. If you have an existing drain via your shower, this can be converted to take care of a bath shower combination, even if you also need it to be a wet floor drain. A bath waste is normally a 40mm pipe, so if your existing pipe is a 32, you might need to do some conversion...See MoreBathroom renovation in apartment - advice needed please
Comments (13)subject to confirmation by a plumber your new layout should be ideal with just enough space for a stacked washer and dryer and skinny tub and wall shelf for the laundry (i'm assuming the old shower position also has taps and floor waste) and a 1500 wide vanity with storage for linen and mirror doored medicine cabinet but what is the triangular space?? there could be wall thickeness to use for stacked doors for the laundry instaed of the bifolds btw a floating (wall hung) vanity is usually more expensive, creates problems hiding the pipes and will lose valuable storage space for towels and lineni would expect a full reno with modest quality fixtures and tiles and no surprises to cost at least $20,000 but suggest that a bathroom company that could take responsibility for organising demolition, plumbing, carpentry, waterproofing, tiling electrical, painting and sourcing the tiles, taps, screens, lightfittings, tubs, doors etc may be worthwhile and save you trying to juggle the trades who are less likely to be dependable for a single customer although with available time you may be able to save some money by removing old tiles and carting away rubble and finding the tiles. taps, vanity etcs and having them ready on site but coordinating all the trades can be a problem especially if you don't have an alternative bathroom although it's always good to be on site to supervise the work and answer any last minute questions...See MoreShower Bath - Yes or No
Comments (9)I had one years ago and just accepted it's what was there. My preference would be to have at least a shower but if resale is on the cards then I think both seperate if possible unless there isn't room. @macyjean, the tap is away from the shower, it will be the single tap you can see on the bath wall under the hob that will have a tripple function, shower, hand shower or bath as in new builds at least I believe it's mandatory that the shower taps are out of the shower zone so the water temp can be adjusted first. If you look closely there are no taps on the shower rail. Your suggestion of a grab rail is a great idea but hard to know where it could be put but perhaps there is a spot on the other end of the bath??...See MoreCaitlin Williams
