Refurbish the old bathroom cheaply or completely renovate the bathroom

It's a topic of conversation here, the bathroom, but I'm sure you get that. We are not yet sure whether we will renovate the old bathroom cheaply or whether we will completely renovate the bathroom. It probably has to do with the cost of the other renovations that we have in mind and whether those budgets are running out. Lending for a renovation is also possible, but we'd rather not do it now… If there is still a budget left, we will probably completely refurbish the old bathroom by means of a complete renovation. But otherwise we'll have to make do with some minor adjustments in the bathroom for the time being. So I'm probably snooping around.

How can you refurbish an old bathroom cheaply?

If you see the photo above, you'll no doubt agree that this bathroom could use a makeover, wouldn't it? Although everything is still fairly neat, the appearance of the bathroom is so outdated that my hands are itching to get started. But how?

You can find the materials to renovate your old bathroom cheaply here:

  1. Towel rack bathroom
  2. Tile paint bathroom
  3. Alabastine primer
  4. Fertiliser
  5. Concrete look paint
  6. Bathroom laminate

Replace existing-kit in the old bathroom

If you want to refurbish an old bathroom, it is important that you first check the sealant seams. If there is mold here and there on sealant seams, then it does look a bit shabby. First you can see if you can remove the mold in the bathroom † Doesn't work? Then it is smart to replace the old sealant seams.

If there are leaks in the bathroom, then the cheap refurbishment of the old bathroom by replacing the sealant seams is obviously not enough. You will first have to look at which leaks there are and how to solve them. New sealants at an existing leak are of course useless.

Paint old-tiles in the bathroom

If we want to refurbish cheaply, then new tiles are not an option. Had they been white, that would not have been necessary at all, but we find the color red rather … uhhh … predominant.

Painting bathroom tiles may be an option. About twenty years ago I already did that in my bathroom in my apartment. It is a time-consuming job, painting those old tiles in the bathroom, but it is at least a cheap alternative if you want to refurbish them.

How do you paint the old bathroom-tiles?

You should keep in mind that you must follow the method below to ensure that the paint does not peel off.

  • Degrease the tiles.
  • Use a good primer, for example this primer from Alabastine is suitable.
  • Paint joints, otherwise it is really too much work and you will never get it completely neat.
  • Allow the painted tiles to dry for about a week before taking a shower or bath.

Tip:the darker you paint the tile, the smaller the bathroom looks, keep that in mind when choosing the color.

Clean joints

Are the tiles in order, but the joints just dirty? Then you can also suffice with cleaning your joints. You can tackle your joints with vinegar or grout fresh and if necessary you can also use a grout marker use if you want.

Tackling sanitation in your bathroom

I can imagine that buying a new shower cubicle may not fit within the budget if you want to refurbish your old bathroom cheaply. You can then refresh the old shower with a good scrubbing. For example, use vinegar or another cleaning agent.

Is there a lot of limescale? Then dip cotton wool in the cleaning vinegar and let it soak for a while on the limescale (in the shower cabin, for example). Lime around the tap? You can easily wind those cotton wool around the tap so that after 10 minutes your tap will look spick and span again.
