Home renovations in general take a lot of time, money and patience –  even more so when it’s an important room in the house such as the bathroom. Your bathroom should be a place of serenity and relaxation, it should be a place where you want to go after all it’s more than likely the first room you visit on a morning and the last place you visit at night.

If you dread your bathroom and it makes you want to be in and out as quickly as possible then it could be time for a remodel.

We have put together our top five signs in which you should be on the lookout for, suggesting you should think about getting a new bathroom installed.

Work Out?

Along with the kitchen, the bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house, it goes without saying your bathroom will be in need of some TLC. There comes a point where somethings have got to be done, for example if your tile grout is flaking or mould and moisture damage is occurring it may be time to give your bathroom a refresh, along with these not making a bathroom look appealing there could be potential health hazards, making it important to get it sorted.

Fancy a Change?

One of the most popular reasons people call Baker Smith Ltd/Cathedral Bathrooms for remodeling is due to a change in circumstances within the family. Young families with children tend to rework their bathrooms to accommodate the newer additions to their family, adding more storage space and usually a larger bath if they don’t already have one. Along with new families, a new bathroom maybe beneficial to an elderly homeowner with reduced mobility who may find it difficult to get in and out of the bath, they might benefit more from a walk-in bath or shower.

Is It Functional?

Although the aesthetics of your bathroom are important, functionality must always come first.

These sorts of issues usually arise from the decisions of the previous owner, however your thoughts and circumstances maybe completely different to the previous owners. Instead of putting up with them why not, why not do do something about them? you would be surprised at some of the dysfunctional bathrooms that are out there, especially in smaller homes.

In Style?

If you bathroom hasn’t been touched for a few years, it may just need a bit of a face lift. Styles and tastes can change at a rapid rate, sometimes a room can benefit from a little revamp. You don’t have to stand for that bright flowery wallpaper the previous owner has left you, it’s time to make your own mark on the room. Small changes such as little fixtures, the wallpaper or even the shower curtain can make a huge difference to your bathroom.

Is the Lighting Right?

When getting ready in the morning the last thing you want is a poor lighting to make things even more difficult. The lighting in a bathroom is crucial, it can be as simple as adding a couple of new fixtures or as extravagant as installing a sky light. Your bathroom should always be a bright and well lit space, but should be able to be dimmed allowing you to create different moods depending on the time of the day and who is using the bathroom, after all your bathroom should be a relaxing place where you can unwind after a long stressful day.
