The freezing toilet seat looks at you and dares you to sit down. You stand there, frozen in indecision (no pun intended). Do you risk contracting hypothermia from the icy surface? Or do you hold it until spring?

And those mighty swear words you utter when the shower runs out of hot water halfway through your shampooing session? Yeah, we’ve all been there.

Tips for a Winter-Ready Bathroom

Winters in Maitland can be brutally cold. But your bathroom doesn’t have to be. With a little bit of winterizing, you can keep your bathroom comfortable. So, here are some tips to ensure a warmer bathroom:

Install Floor Heating

Stepping on the icy-cold tiles first thing in the morning is enough to send shivers down your spine. But you can say goodbye to frozen toes by installing floor heating. It can be as easy as placing a cozy rug on the floor or opting for a more permanent solution like in-floor radiant heating.

In-floor radiant heating is a system that heats your floors from underneath. It’s ideal for bathrooms because it doesn’t take up any space and can be easily installed under tile or stone floors.

Insulate Your Pipes

One of the many bathroom woes Maitland residents have to deal with is frozen pipes. When water freezes, it expands and puts pressure on your pipes, leading to cracks and leaks. To prevent your pipes from freezing, insulate them with foam pipe insulation. You can find this at your local hardware store.

Just cut the insulation to size, slip it over your pipes, and secure it with duct tape. It’s that easy! If you feel you’re not up for the task, you can always hire professionals to get the job done. If you’re looking for an expert plumber Maitland is home to some of the best plumbing services.

Check Your Water Heater

Your water heater works hard to keep your showers nice and hot, so give it a little TLC this winter. Start by ensuring the temperature is set no higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything above that can scald you.

Next, check the pressure relief valve to ensure it’s working properly. This valve releases pressure if it builds up too high in the tank and prevents your water heater from exploding.

You might also want to hire a plumber so they can check for any holes, corrosion, or other problems.

Install a Heated Towel Warmer

What’s the point of a steamy shower if you don’t have a warm towel to wrap yourself up in afterward? So, keep your towel from turning into a popsicle by investing in a heated towel warmer.

It is an easy-to-install bathroom appliance that will make your life much more comfortable. And they’re not just for towels!

You can also use them to dry wet clothes or warm your robe on a cold winter morning. If you’re wondering how long you can keep the warmer on, most have an automatic shut-off feature, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Caulk Your Bathtub and Shower

One of the main causes of cold drafts in the bathroom is gaps and cracks around your tub and shower. So, caulk any gaps to keep the warm air in and the cold air out. You can find caulking at your local hardware store.

Just apply the caulk around the edges of your tub and shower, and smooth it out as you go. You can use your finger or a putty knife to do this. Make sure the caulk is dry before using your tub or shower. Usually, it only takes a few hours.

Allow Sunlight In

Make the most of the winter sunlight by keeping your bathroom curtains or blinds open during the day. The sun will help warm your bathroom and make it more inviting.

If you’re worried about privacy, you can always opt for frosted glass or window film. Place some candles around the room to give it a warm, cozy feeling. You can also place a small snake plant to cleanse the air.

Keep the Door Closed

This one might seem obvious, but it’s worth mentioning. Whenever you’re not using your bathroom, keep the door closed to keep the heat in. That way, you won’t have to blast the heat whenever you want to shower.

However, sometimes keeping the door closed isn’t enough. If you have a spacious bathroom or your bathroom is on an exterior wall, you might consider hanging a heavy curtain over the door to help insulate it.

Choose Warm Lights

Finally, change out your lightbulbs to create a cozy ambiance in your bathroom. Opt for warm white or soft white lightbulbs instead of cool white or daylight bulbs.

It will give your bathroom a softer, more inviting feel. If you’re specifically focused on the heat and can afford it, look into incandescent lighting, as they also give off heat!

Final Thoughts

Icy-butt syndrome is no joke, so take steps to winterize your bathroom and make it a cozy retreat when the cold season approaches. You can also use seat covers or a space heater to make your time in the bathroom more comfortable.

Just be sure to unplug the space heater when you’re done—you don’t want to start a fire! Following these simple tips can keep your bathroom warm and toasty all winter long.
