Remodelling a bathroom is a big project. Nevertheless, this remodelling does not have to be stressful. Make sure the necessary measures are in place and prepare well. Below are all the bathroom renovation tips you need to get through the renovation without any problems.

Tip 1: Plan in good time

Start planning the bathroom renovation on time. If you have arranged everything in advance, the rest of the period will be a lot calmer. If you are not going to remodel the bathroom yourself, find a reliable contractor or craftsman in good time. This is because good craftsmen have busy schedules, so they are not readily available. In addition, it is wise to plan well, so that you stay on schedule during the renovation if things take longer than expected.

Tip 2: Order your new bathroom on time

Have your new bathroom delivered on time. Preferably a few days in advance. This will ensure that you do not fall behind on your schedule. Are you going to install a new shower? Keep in mind that the glass panes need to acclimatise in the bathroom for 24 hours upright in their packaging. If you don't, there is a good chance the glass will break.

Tip 3: Record all agreements in black and white

Make sure everything is black and white before the contractor or craftsman starts the renovation. This way, there is clear communication and you both know what the expectations are. Furthermore, you always have something to hold on to if the agreements are not fully met. Then it is nice to have something in reserve.

Tip 4: Keep showering carefree

A bathroom renovation often takes a few weeks. It depends on whether you are going to completely remodel the bathroom or renovate it. Therefore, make sure you can shower with someone such as friends, family or your neighbours. For longer periods, it is nice if the whole household can shower at home. Hire an emergency shower, for example, so that you can get through the renovation worry-free.

Tip 5: Allow for unforeseen costs

Do you have a complete overview of the expected costs of your new bathroom suite? Allow 5% of the total amount for unforeseen costs. This way, you will always be prepared for unexpected expenses. Moreover, you will have a nice extra if you do not have to spend this money. A win-win situation.

Tip 6: Check the dimensions of bathroom elements

Did your eye fall on a complete bath or complete shower cabin? Then make sure that it not only fits in your bathroom, but can also reach its destination. For example, due to a short turn to be made or a narrow door or low stairwell.

Tip 7: Inform your neighbours

The last, but by no means least important tip: inform your neighbours about the bathroom renovation. Indicate not only when you are going to remodel, but also the expected duration of the remodel. By communicating well, your neighbours will know what to expect. They are guaranteed to appreciate this, which will help you maintain a good relationship with your neighbours.
