4 Questions to ask before you start a bathroom renovation.

So, you are considering updating your bathroom, but you don’t know where to start. Having someone to guide you through each would be nice, wouldn’t it? At Spinks Interiors, we believe everyone deserves to have a bathroom they love, without the headaches that can accompany a home renovation project. That is why we do things a little differently, starting with our expert designer.

Still, homeowners with a little bit of know-how might want to try tackling it on their own. If you’re not sure whether to DIY choose to use someone to do the work for you, start by asking yourself these 4 questions.

1: Do I have the time?  

Refurbishing a bathroom is a big project. If you’ve got a day job, you’ll likely be tackling your DIY bathroom during nights and weekends over the next few weeks or months, which means your project will likely take much longer than you think. Tearing out old tile, flooring, and fixtures is just the beginning. You will also need to price and select all new materials, then schedule delivery and coordinate the plumber, electrician, tiler to come out and tackle their tasks. While your bathroom is out of commission, you will probably be sharing your home’s guest bath.

Here at Spinks, we will take that stress away. Our expert designers have years of experience and are trained to identify your needs, listen to your concerns, and assemble your ideal bathroom without any high-pressure sales tactics. We believe your experience throughout the design process is just as important as the finished product. That means we ensure your renovation project is about you, and we won’t start assembling your dream bathroom until you’re ready.  And if you do decide to use Spinks Interiors you won’t have to wait so long for your new bathroom.

2: What’s the (real) cost?

When it comes to buying products for your bathroom, you are spoilt for choice. From flooring and vanities, to baths, showers and fixtures, you can spend a little, or a lot. DIY bathroom remodels tend to cost more than homeowners think, especially if you uncover any issues after removing the old fixtures. At Spinks Interiors we pride ourselves on delivering world-class bathroom designs for every budget. Your Designer will help you select materials, finishes, fixtures, and accessories within your chosen budget during your free design consultation.  Then, before any work is done, you will be provided an honest, accurate quote of your final cost.

3: Will I get the look I want?

Not only is it difficult to make all those product and material decisions, but unless you have a design degree, knowing exactly how to get the style you’re after can be intimidating. It is an exhaustive process with so many choices. Deciding the colour, style, and material for every fixture and surface in your bathroom can truly be overwhelming. Working with Spinks Interiors means you will not have to spend a month’s worth of weekends driving from store to store. Instead, your personal Design Consultant will bring an entire showroom’s worth of materials right to you. You will sit down together and compare and touch the products, discuss the pros and cons of different materials, and talk design ideas and trends until all the tough decisions have been made. Our designers also use the latest 3d technology, so you get to visually exactly how the bathroom will look in your home. Best of all, you will get the insights of an experienced professional at no-cost and under no-obligation.
