The shower and bathtub are the most important fixtures to property valuers, so they definitely need to be taken seriously in a bathroom renovation. If your bathroom doesn’t already have a bathtub, it might be worth having one installed just for that; chances are it’s an investment that will pay for itself.

Here are a few things that people often get wrong when having a bathroom renovation done:

• Getting a fixture or amenity you don’t need
• Inaccurate measurements
• Choosing incompatible products
• Forgetting about accessories/amenities
• Picking tiles that aren’t anti-slip

Bathroom maintenance can be made easier if you choose the right materials to start with. For example, walls or floors with larger tiles are much easier to clean than if you chose a tile that is small, as the additional gaps leave more room for dirt to accumulate. Plastic cisterns for toilets can get discoloured in a short amount of time. Ask our plumbers on-site for more tips on how to optimise your bathroom for cleanliness.

Simple colours like black or white never go out of fashion, and are always safe choices to go with. If you don’t plan on getting another bathroom renovation in many years or are thinking of selling your home, then getting a timeless design is a good idea.
