bathroom remodel help

3 years ago

Hello everyone! I need to update my master bathroom but I do not want to spend 50,000 to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can tackle this project. We want to keep same layout. We just want to make it look more modern.

IMO the layout is part of the problem and we need a to scale floor plan to really help.How much money do you have to spend. Start with the lighting get some good fixtures with LEDs in 4000K also the pot lights cajnged to the same LEDs that will at least modernize the lighting. I dislikrejacuzzi type tubs and it looks like you have a small walkin closet . I would wait until you can redo the layout, do you need a tub , would you like a bigger shower I think a complete gut and redo would be a huge improvement and also good ROI when you go to sell.

Thank you for your feedback! The walk closer is pretty spacious that picture doesn’t do it justice. When you say redo layout what do you mean? Do you think replacing the tiles with a different flooring and replacing the cabinets/ mirrors and light would not be enough?

This is proposed bathroom renovation. I am overwhelmed. We have changed door to bathroom to a barn type door I want a free standing tub (I use it everyday) I need help in vanities. Finishes. Everything. The rest of the house is a 1940 Dutch colonial with white and black floors and wood floors throughout the rest of the house. Do I need a designer? Gc says he will walk me through everything but I’m afraid I’m going to pick things that just don’t go. My tendency is to just have everything white but it seems super boring. Also. He says I don’t need tile around tub but I think I do. Half wall of subway tile?

You have opened up quite a can of worms with this project! Since the pipes appear to be galvanized iron, I would suggest repiping. That stuff is probably at the end of it's lifespan. Is some of the subfloor nailed in between the joists? I've only seen that once or twice before.

I think you have a ton of compounding problems. Looks like the tile is probably mesh-mounted and not well-spaced--common in less expensive tile lines--but tilesetter should have caught that and reset the misplaced tiles. Also looks like this is marble tile (?) but has been set in gray thinset, which isn't great--that will show through the tile so that it is darker than you likely intended. And yes, the drain cut is pretty sloppy. (Agreed on using a square drain if you can--our tile guy was relatively skilled and the round cut still isn't perfect at the edges since our tile is 1" hex; wish I'd used square since we just picked round somewhat at random, needing to make a decision.) Not sure any of this is fixable without starting over, unfortunately.

If you are concerned with weight you will need to evaluate your structure. There is a deflection calculator over on https://www.johnbridge.com when you dig in and find you what you have there run the numbers. It will let you know if you have structure that can support tile without cracking. But get a free planning program in a pinch you can use IKEA and play within the room size. Toilet, toilet rooms, washer dryer, showers, vanities. You can plug in all the sizes and move things around and take a look at what it looks like. With small rooms you will need to kinda do one side of the room at time you will see what I mean when you do it.
