where to start while remodeling my bathroom?
Ok so I have decided to remodel my bathroom. Most of it I will be doing myself. I am just wondering where I should start? Here is a list of things that will be done:
1. Take down old pink tile and put new tile in
2. Put in new bathroom sink/vanity
3. Put in new toilet
4. Convert bathtub to shower/tub combo ( there's pink tile around the bathtub as well) I will not be doing this myself. I am going to hire someone to do this.
Any advice would be great
I attempted to answer, but there are things I do not know.
What are you doing yourself and what are you hiring a professional for ? Is a plumber going to be hired for all the plumbing or will you do it yourself ?
Do you have a second bathroom to use during the reno ? If not, then time is a factor and will affect the way you approach your project.
Also, if you only had a tub before, you probably do not have an exhaust fan. I would highly recommend getting one installed if you are to install a shower to prevent moisture damage. Higher the sones, the quieter the unit & higher the price. You may need to hire an electrician if you cannot do this yourself.
The more work you can take away from a professional, the more savings for you.

buy everything you need first. start with the bigger things like the walls and floor, and move your way to appliances and smaller things last to avoid ruining them by paint or anything

Take down all that tile first, you can still take a bath that way. Be sure you know what size vanity so the floor tiles fit.

All rip out and haul away 1st. .. Put up any wall board as needed and green board where needed.Mud tape and primer. Get plumber and the tile guy to convert shower / tub Set vanity and sink . Final paint, although you may prefer to paint when it wide open ( I do) Then finish stuff like fixtures and stool. Some minor variations in the order can be done sometimes , but that s the basic order. Any questions you can e mail me thru my avatar, I ve done bathrooms countless times. GL
