Choosing the right plumber’s merchant

When the time comes to renovate your bathroom, and you want to do it within a reasonable budget, you can if you work with the right plumber’s merchants in Droitwich.

A mid range renovation will cost in the area of £7,500, mid-range is defined as installing a new bathtub, toilet and double sinks set into a vanity, a ceramic tile floor, built in medicine chest and vinyl wall covering. It takes very little to drive the price of a bathroom renovation up, with recessed lighting, decorative mirrors and high end fittings.
Although you will have to spend this much for the entire project, not all of it is spent at the plumbers merchants in Droitwich; there is the labour involved which is imbedded in this approximation.

Demolition:

To keep costs down and stay within budget, you can consider doing the initial work yourself, which is removing all the old materials and demolishing that which needs to go based on the new design. If you do this, you may want to check with the plumber you have chosen to make sure all water services, both hot and cold have been terminated first.

Labour:

The cost of labour is probably equal to the cost of the new fixtures. Bear this in mind as your design the new bathroom, if you can live with the existing ceiling, you will save money, and if you don’t have to move plumbing or lighting, this will also save considerably on the labour costs.

Fixtures:

One of the least costly ways of having a fresh new bathroom is to keep the fixtures in their original position. By keeping the tub, sinks and toilet where they are you can avoid having to dig and install new drains and water supply lines. You can also highlight certain fixtures, for example, if you wish to spend the money for a glass vessel sink, then you can afford it by using a basic white toilet.

Tile:

The plumber’s merchants in Droitwich will have a wide variety of tiles. Tiles are expensive to purchase, but they are even more expensive to lie properly. You may wish to limit the tiling to the tub surround and floor, leaving the walls to be covered in vinyl wallpaper. If you want tile on the walls to resist splashes, you can consider full tile in the bath area and only half tile up to wainscoting height in the rest of the room.

Countertop:

A single sink vanity with a stone surround will cost about the same as two pedestal sinks. Perhaps the sinks, which are very practical, married with wall mounted cabinets will save money and still provide the storage space that you will need.
