DIY & Home Improvement

you can start by doing the demo- take everything out. A full size walk in shower stall with walls is the same length and width as a full size bathtub- 5 feet.

Don't know the configuration of your bathroom hard to give advice- but I can tell you tile goes easy without obstructions such as the toilet or the vanity.

The last bathroom I did tile tub wall to ceiling on the tub surround and tile half way up the wall the rest of the space.

Paint on the upper walls and ceiling.

12 by 12 inch floor tiles on the floor.

That bathroom is 5'by 7'.

New tub, toilet and vanity' new facet bathtub and sink ,new lights and towel racks .

Turned out very nice. Didn't cost all that much. $3,000 something like that - sale on tile 2 gals. of paint - $350.00 spent on vanity -$400.00 on tub -$100.00 new valve assembly -$70.00 sink facet. -you get the picture.

The plumbing was all good so little change to the pipes.

A do it yourself bathroom remodle book is about $15. 00 at lowes or home depot. Has plenty of color pictures.

If you are hiring out the work- if you can find a contractor to do it on time and materials -or time and you buy the materials , pick it all out and bring it home- you can save money that way.

On that one the client did half the work- I made my money ,it turned out great and they sold that house !
