Condo Bathroom

Here are my favorite tips:

• Keep your current layout if possible. Relocating pipes and wiring can quickly increase costs.
• Choose lower-priced materials. You don't need the most expensive fixtures and fittings to create a beautiful bathroom.
• Make a comprehensive plan for the project. This will help you stay on track and control expenses.
• Consider enlisting the help of professionals. They can ensure the job is done right and help you save money in the long run.

The tiles in your bathroom play a major role – not only are they designed to ensure your underlay remains dry and mould doesn’t make its home in the bathroom, but they are also a great way to enhance the aesthetics of your bathroom. However, replacing a floor tile can be a complex process that requires removing the toilet, vanity, and disconnecting all plumbing.

Once the demolition is complete, you'll need to level the floor and add a layer of subfloor (for houses). After setting the tile, you'll need to grout the lines to match or be a bit darker than the tile's color. While great tiles can enhance the look and value of your property, it's often easier to contact professionals to do the work for you.

Renovating a bathroom to be accessible can be straightforward if you plan carefully and follow key elements and considerations.

Here are my most favorite and tomy opinion most practical key elements to keep in mind when planning to upgrade accessible washroom :

• Comfort-height toilet, typically 17-19 inches from the floor.
• Install grab bars next to the toilet, around the tub and inside shower area.
• A barrier-free, roll-in shower with a bench is ideal.
• Non-slip surface everywhere.
• Install the sink at a height that can be accessed from a wheelchair (typically 30-34 inches).
• Use lever-style or touchless faucets for ease of use.
• Sensors for lightening.

Freestanding bathtubs offer flexibility in placement and come in various sizes to accommodate different bathroom layouts. The smallest freestanding bathtub dimensions, such as Sonoma from Maax at 58"x32" inches, are ideal for compact spaces.

For larger bathroom go with 66"and up, I personaly like Optik by Maax at 66"x36" which provides enough space for soaking and looks big enough. For more sophesticated and stylish look go with Victoria+Alber SEROS 1650 56"x30". 

Maax and Oceania are two local reputable brands known for offering a variety of bathtub options at different price points.

The first step to designing your budget bathroom is to think about your preferences for materials, fixtures, and fittings. This will help you establish a budget. It's also important to consider the specifics of your bathroom, such as its size and whether you want a bath or shower (or both).

Remember, just because you're working on a budget doesn't mean your bathroom can't look amazing. It's all about making the most of what you have. 

Here are some tips:

• Make a list of everything you'll need and figure out where you can save money so you can spend more elsewhere.
• Look around for budget tile options, there are a lot of different tiles made in Italy for affordable prices like $4-$5 per square foot.
• You can definitely save some money on toilets, shower glass, tub screens, and bathtubs. They all have similar functionality but different designs, which affect the price.
• Plumbing fixtures are very important, make sure you get them from reputable brands that have been in the market for a long period of time.

Hope this helps!

The average cost for mid-high-end products to build en-suite will be $10,000-$15,000. When I say mid-high end, I mean well-known brands for plumbing fixtures that have been on the market for a while; Italian tile as they provide high quality and are easy to set, resulting in an outstanding look; vanity is another item that I prefer to have at its best as you touch and use it every day, so the material has to be durable enough but look stunning and accomplished.

My favorite brands among local are Vanitec and A.H.M. Designers, and internationally is Bagno Italia for their price and design.
