If you have a small bathroom, you won’t be able to add a free-standing tub. But, on the other hand, the cost to refurbish you room will be significantly less than if you have a large room. The cost of a small bathroom renovation will depend on a lot of factors. These will include the suite you buy, the type of tiles you want, and if you will tile your whole room. There is no one price tag for renovating your bathroom. But, one way to keep down the costs is to use the services of a professional that will cover all aspects of the renovation.
The cost of a small bathroom renovation would rise instantly if you employed one tradesman to fit the suite, another to do the tiling. Bristol Builders Network can match you with a tradesman that can carry out the whole refurbishment from start to finish. So, what do you need to consider when adding up the costs? Read on to find out.
Cost of a Small Bathroom : What’s Included ?
The average cost of a new bathroom is around 3K. But, as we said earlier it is impossible to even use this as a guideline figure. With some companies offering an entire suite for just a few hundred pounds, there is far much more to be considered. If you opt for the cheapest price, what will be included? For sure, the installation and labour charges will not be included when you purchase a bargain basement bathroom suite.
You can really spend as little or as much as you want on a bath. For less than 100 pounds you can pick up a bathtub; on the other hand, you could spend thousands. If your bathroom is small, and you are looking to create more space, then replacing the tub with a shower is a sensible option that will save you money. A cheap shower could cost you as little as 50 pounds.
Electric showers are your cheapest option, but they are the most expensive to run. All this needs to be taken into consideration. A simple shower enclosure will also leave you with change from £100. Toilets and basins can also be purchased cheaply. To save money, order all three items together. You will however need to add extras here, including your taps, any plumbing that needs to be altered, and of course, your tiles.
Cost of a Small Bathroom Renovation : Budget Tiling Options
If you want to save money on tiling, you could choose cheap tiles. But plain white tiles are not appealing, especially if they will cover all walls of your bathroom. A different approach is to only tile certain areas, such as inside your new shower cubicle, and above the sink. This will save you labour costs too. If you are only tiling some parts of your bathroom, ensure the paint that is used in other areas is water resistant and can be wet washed.
