Plan Budget Bathroom Renovation Thoroughly

Jumping into renovations with no real planning is a recipe for disaster. You'll purchase bathroom building materials that you don't need. You may even install features that don't work with your layout and need to remodel again, which wastes a lot of time and money.


Create a plan for what you want your bathroom to look like post-renovations. Try to keep the pre-existing layout of your bathroom so you don't spend money restructuring walls or built-in fixtures. Uprooting and moving your shower or toilet will cost a lot of money because you'll need to change the piping and plumbing.

Get New Decor When Redoing a Bathroom on a Budget

Our brains crave novelty, and sometimes we think this means that we should invest in massive structural changes during home renovations. But this isn't always necessary. Unless there's an actual problem with chipping tiles, broken cabinets, or a broken toilet seat, you can just spruce things up with new decor.


Changing up your color scheme is a great way to make your space feel new and exciting. Repaint your walls, get new bath towels, and install some new trim around the floor and the ceiling. This will keep the general structure of your bathroom the same while making it look completely different.


Have fun choosing new towels, bathmats, and countertops (if you want to splurge). The possibilities are limitless, and you don't need to tear everything apart for a complete bathroom transformation!

Repaint and Retile the Right Way

Your flooring and tile are often the worst and most noticeable features of an outdated bathroom. However, ripping them out and replacing them with new tiles can cost a lot of money. I


If you like the overall shapes of your tiles and don't mind having a similar aesthetic, repaint your shower tiles with a special kit. You can save retiling money to actually pay for the tile that makes up the bulk of your bathroom floor.


Additionally, if tiles are in stable condition and don't have cracks or chips, you can retile over the existing ones. This saves you the money it would cost to rip tiles out and renovate cracks under the floor. It may sound insane, but it works and can save a lot of money and is perfect for bathroom renovation on a budget.
