Home remodeling projects can be exciting and stressful at the same time. This is especially true for remodeling a half bathroom.

It is a common misconception among many homeowners that the work needed to remodel a small bathroom is stress-free, easy, and inexpensive. Such misunderstandings can lead to disappointments and dissatisfaction with remodeling your half bath.

As such, it is best to contact professionals and let them handle all aspects of your bathroom remodeling. Crown Remodeling & Design is one such company that has the experience and expertise necessary to make light work of your bathroom remodeling project.

Being in the industry for years means they can give you reasonable cost estimates while avoiding many of the problems homeowners encounter in their bid to personally carry out bathroom remodeling tasks.

While being small in size, a half bathroom offers nearly all the amenities of a full bathroom. The remodeling of this small bathroom can cost you about 75% of the cost of a complete bathroom remodel. Let’s look at how you can go about remodeling your half bath.

Planning Considerations

A bathroom is a communal room, making it more likely to be overused. As such, the process of planning a half bath remodel should always consider this fact.

An important feature of such considerations is the design. Some people prefer to maintain the old bathroom design, while others prefer a complete makeover. A design makeover should consider these things:

  • Storage Spaces: Remodeling your half bath involves a significant re-allocation of space. For example, where your toiletries and towels were once stored may need to change.
  • Color Schemes: Whether you prefer a bright color or deep hues, you’ll need to ensure that the colors of the walls and tiles match.
  • Location of Utilities and Fixtures: Electrical wiring and plumbing require expertise for proper installation. You need to know if your half bath redesign layout will be compatible with plumbing and wiring needs.

Steps to Remodel Your Half Bath

The first step in your half bath remodeling is to gut the bath, or at least the part you feel needs a complete overhaul. To ensure that no unpleasant spills occur, drain the tub and the toilet before you begin unscrewing the toilet and other fixtures.

Start removing the tiles once the tub has been removed. Ensure to collect all the debris in one spot. This ensures that no injuries arise due to getting pierced by sharp tiles. Finally, the cabinets, vanities, and baseboards should come off.

Next, you will have to install your new half bath. Space is usually at a premium for a half bathroom. As such, you want to ensure that the tub you want to install has the correct dimensions as the space available for it.

Depending on your preference, you can choose a rectangular or square tub. Check for rot in the wood of your subfloor. Ensure to replace any rotten wood before installing the tub.

Now you can move on to installing the new fixtures. This is when power outlets and wires are installed. You want to ensure that all the wires are solid, with no tearing in their insulation.

Unless you’re an electrician, it’s best to contract one for installing the wires and wall outlets. A plumber is also needed for the water pipes and all other plumbing installations.

After installing the fixtures, you can install the new cabinets. This is necessary if the old ones are worn out or damaged. The faucet and sink go in first. Mirrors and other essentials then follow. You want to ensure symmetry and the right placement of all these fixtures.

Mirrors, for example, should be placed in a way that makes it easier for one to stand in front of them without twisting at an awkward angle.

Lastly, you need to add the finishing touches. Installing trim around the mirror, the toilet, and the half tub floor surface is one of the last things to do. Trim helps to cement these surfaces in place.

Hiring a Remodeling Company

It’s crucial to be clear about what direction you want your half bathroom remodeling project to take. Choosing to perform the remodeling tasks yourself makes sense only if the project is simple or you possess the necessary expertise.

Hiring a professional remodeling company can help you avoid the inconveniences and problems associated with inexperience and lack of knowledge.

Unless you have prior experience, it is advisable to hire a professional contractor from the get-go.

This means that all the planning and considerations need to be under the guidance of professionals that understand the exact needs of the bathroom remodeling tasks. While a homeowner may offer some valuable advice, it is best to let the experts handle all the finer details.

Like most such projects, the cost is usually a critical factor in the overall decision-making of remodeling a half bath. Working with professionals means they can recommend high-quality materials that are durable and fit your exact remodeling needs.

This can save you money by avoiding defective materials that are not durable.

In a nutshell, hire a reputable professional contractor to give your half bathroom the exquisite remodeling it deserves.
