Bathroom Renovations - Tips & Tricks

So you’ve decided to renovate your bathroom - congrats! It's a fantastic investment that will not only make your space more practical and stylish but also boost the value and overall appeal of your home. While a reno can be exciting, it isn’t always easy to navigate the myriad of decisions you'll encounter throughout your bathroom project journey. To guide you through the process and make it smoother, we've compiled a set of valuable tips to assist you. Let's dive in and ensure you’ll love your bathroom for years to come. 

Mains or Low Pressure hot water?

When it comes to deciding between mains pressure and low-pressure hot water systems for your bathroom, it's essential to consider your specific needs. Evaluate your hot water requirements and consult with professionals to determine which option suits your needs best.

Choose your fittings before you start

One key aspect of a successful bathroom renovation is planning and selecting the right fittings before you begin the project. From tapware and shower heads to toilets and sinks, choosing the right fittings is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. Consider factors such as the overall style you want to achieve, the space available, and the compatibility with your chosen hot water system. By carefully selecting fittings in advance, you can ensure a smoother renovation process and avoid potential complications or delays. This also helps the plumber with the information required to set out and plan ahead for installation.

Invest in quality products

When renovating your bathroom, it's worth investing in high-quality products and materials. Not only will they make your bathroom look amazing, they’ll also stand the test of time. From fixtures and fittings to tiles and countertops, opt for reputable brands and materials that can handle everyday wear and tear. Of course, budget is a huge factor when it comes to a renovation, but quality doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. At Chesters we stock a broad selection of products from time-tested brands, at a range of prices. 

Consider your family’s unique needs

Whether you’ve got a small tribe or have older family members in the home, safety features are an essential consideration for your bathroom project. Features such as anti-scald devices on taps, showerheads, and heated towel rails will prevent accidental burns. Non-slip flooring, low-contoured shower trays and seats in the bath or shower area can reduce the risk of slips and falls. Finally, securing cabinets and drawers with childproof locks and ensuring proper ventilation in the bathroom are important safety measures to consider. By prioritising safety during your renovation, you can create a bathroom that supports your whole family’s day-to-day needs.
