Signs that your bathroom needs refurbishment (Updated)
The quality of your bathroom can really make or break your home as it is one of the most important rooms - often overlooked when it comes to home improvement. A dated bathroom tends to drag down living space. Likewise, a modern bathroom can improve your quality of life and up the market value of your home.
Here are a few signs you can look out for
You want to modernise your home
As mentioned, bathrooms can often be left on the back burner in home improvement projects and If you are selling, it’s good to look out for the recent trends in home improvement to find out what will be popular on the market. Even a perfectly functioning bathroom can begin to look dated and put potential buyers off.
Your bathroom lacks storage space
Practicality can also be dramatically improved with a re-designed bathroom. Especially for those who have recently extended your family. A refurbishment can transform your living space and create more storage and practicality in your home. Adding in cleverly positioned bathroom units can massively increase storage and leave you with a minimalist clutter-free look.
Your bathroom requires a refresh
If your bathroom layout is already working for you it might not seem like a good time to get a refurbishment. A bathroom refurbishment doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul, in fact, a new sink, shower and bath can really modernise an already functioning bathroom.
Your bathroom has structural wear and tear
Along with aesthetics, there are also important structural issues to consider that if left neglected could lead to further damage in your home - sometimes leading to thousands of pounds in repair costs.
Growth of Mould and Mildew
Not only are mould and mildew ugly, but they can be dangerous to your health. The moist, poorly ventilated conditions that these fungi prefer to grow in make restrooms especially vulnerable. Black spots or a musty smell indicate that moisture is building up in your bathroom, which may require renovation to address underlying waterproofing or ventilation problems.
Inadequate Functionality
Any bathroom should have functionality, so if yours isn't meeting this need, it might be time for a renovation. The usability of your bathroom can be negatively impacted by problems like old plumbing that causes leaks or poor water pressure, and an ineffective layout that makes the area feel small. These issues can be resolved with a renovation, making the area more useful and pleasurable.
Damage from Water
In bathrooms, water damage is a typical issue, particularly in areas where leaks are likely to occur, including the vicinity of the toilet, shower, or bathtub. Water damage can be identified by soft or discoloured spots on the walls or ceiling, warped or stained flooring, and peeling paint or wallpaper. These symptoms should not be disregarded. Remodelling your bathroom can assist address the underlying problems that led to the water damage and stop the area from deteriorating further.
Dangers to Safety
Safety risks might arise from an old or badly kept restroom, especially for the elderly or those with limited mobility. Inadequate lighting, uneven flooring, and odd layouts that make it difficult to move around the room securely are all signs that your bathroom may need to be refurbished to make it safer and more accessible.
