Bathroom renovation - screed advice
Comments (5)5/20kg may seem excessive initially but you'll be surprised how much you use! He is probably close to the mark but I'd grab an extra just in case. Nothing worse than a Sunday arvo with the local hardware closing and you need an extra half a bag.... Waterproof under the slab then waterproof again on top depending on waterproof membrane you're using. Even pro's get leaks after a few years so the extra layer is worth it. If you're doing the stuff yourself to save money spend extra on the materials and quantities to make sure it's as good as you are able to get it....See MoreNeed help with bathroom renovation
Comments (7)Bath v shower. If you go for the shower and no bath, make the space big enough to retrofit a bath in later. Bath is normally less than 900 which is preferred shower width however, If u plan on being there 10 years then can’t loose either way. Talk to your plumber about the most cost effective layout options, for example they may suggest rehanging door to swing other way or moving door to open up other layouts, I agree about corner cabinets, my sister just replaced hers with straight and there is more space not less and much more modern look....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 MoreNeed help with Bathroom renovation
Comments (5)!) Set out your bathroom including shower, the sill of your window relative to shower, if shower under window.....However, exterior of widow needs to be considered. Brick suggests a new lintel above the window Have new window in before doing any more work Plumbing and electrical rough ins before RENDERING 3) Rendering by a good renderer will ensure the quickest method to " plumb " walls ..one day about $ 1,000....Organise your tiler BEFORE Rendering, some tilers render, or my " brother-in-law renders " ( A great option ) A tiler can only tile as good as the walls permit ! 4) Rendering....Waterproofing...Tiling ...Fit Out....Shower screen ( never be talked into buying a shower screen from a fixture business...ONLY have shower screen measured AFTER tiling is completed...See MoreSarah Liu
