There’s no way around it: a bathroom remodel is not a small undertaking. Even a small remodeling project can cost a pretty penny, and you (or your contractors) will be making a mighty mess when the tiles are torn out, the underlayment ripped up, and the bathtub removed. It’s best if you know precisely what you’re doing before you start.

4 Tips to Know for Your Bathroom Remodel

1. Gather All Your Materials

It’s understandable that you’re eager to get started, but before you take a hammer and saw to your bathroom, gather all your materials first. This means waiting for custom-order items, replacement fixtures, tub, tile, and lighting to arrive. Once you start ripping up the bathroom, it will be unusable, so you want to progress through the project as quickly as possible and know exactly where everything will go.

2. Design Shower Storage

You’re not in college anymore; you don’t need to hang a metal basket for your toiletries from your shower head or line them up along the bathtub rim. Once you tear out your old shower, add built-in wall shelving. It doesn’t protrude into the shower space and looks attractive.

3. Rip Up the Underlayment

It’s time-consuming and difficult to tear out old flooring or vinyl, but you’ve come this far, so you should lay down a new surface and remove any underlayment that may be water-damaged. It’s cheap and easy to install a new surface, and then you’re starting from scratch.

4. Splurge on Something

A bathroom remodel may be an expensive undertaking, but at the end of it, you’re left with a brand-new bathroom that you’ll feel proud of. So pay a little extra for one special feature that will be the signature piece of your new bathroom.
