Knowing how to remodel a bathroom provides easy and rewarding do it yourself project.
Deciding What to Replace
Do you want to replace the entire bathroom? Just the floors and walls? Deciding this will factor in not only to the time it will take but also the cost of the remodeling.
The Walls
There is a good chance you will want to replace the walls. Because bathrooms collect moisture, the walls should consist of special moisture-resistant drywall called “green board” along with a moisture-proof backer board.
The Shower
The tub/shower is the main focal point in any bathroom. If you are fixing a few cracks, this is an easy and relatively inexpensive project, however many homeowners choose to replace the entire tub with a new liner or in extreme circumstances, tile a new shower. Depending on what damage you have will determine the extent of this project.
The Floors
It is not recommended to install hardwood floors in a bathroom because of their lack of water resistance. A recommended option is ceramic tile or laminate flooring but that too depends on how much time and money you want to put into remodeling your bathroom.
