DIY bathroom renovation ideas

A small bathroom is a common problem in apartment buildings. But even these 3-4 sq. it is quite possible to turn it into an oasis of comfort and relaxation, if you use design techniques. Choosing the right finishes, plumbing and furniture, you will see that it was not the narrow area that caused the cramped space, but just the illiterate placement of things. Our recommendations will help you correct mistakes and make your bathroom comfortable and tidy!

The first thing you need to decide on at this stage is to make the bathroom combined or separate.

By removing the partition between the toilet and the bathroom, you can slightly expand the area and save on finishing materials. But, firstly, this will require permission from special instances; secondly, important communications (water or sewer pipes, ventilation ducts, electrical wiring) may be located in the partition; and thirdly, for a large family, a shared bathroom will be very inconvenient from a practical point of view.

As for a separate bathroom, in this version the only drawback will be that both rooms are often very tiny and there will simply not be room for a separate washstand in the toilet. In this case, you can use a compact sink, positioning it, for example, in a corner, just above the cistern.

You can also add a little extra "squares" to your small bathroom by reducing the hallway or corridor.

While taking a bath or shower, everyone can observe how much steam and condensation is formed in the air. This means that absolutely all materials for finishing a small bathroom must be waterproof and resistant to temperature changes.

At first glance, it may seem that it is enough to tile the concrete base in the bathroom and it will be finished with its repair. But this is far from the case - it would not hurt to carry out some more work under the upper decorative layer. So, the "warm floor" system will provide a comfortable temperature, and a dense layer of waterproofing will save you from the visit of angry neighbors in the event of a flood.

The ideal structure should look like this: a concrete slab is covered with a bituminous primer, a polymer waterproofing film is glued to it (its edges rise to the walls at a height of at least 15 cm, and the seams must be overlapped and firmly fused together), fine-grained quartz sand is poured, heating elements, and then ceramic tiles are attached to the concrete tile adhesive. It is desirable that it be large and light, but at the same time slightly rough, because on wet glossy glaze it is easy to slip and get injured.

For wall decoration in a small bathroom, you can use ceramic tiles, plastic panels, paint, artificial stone or moisture-resistant wallpaper.

The first step is to properly plaster the surface and apply a quality primer. You can also level the surface with water panels.

Of paints, it is desirable to use non-toxic water-based emulsion (acrylic, silicone) and water-dispersion compositions. It is better to refuse traditional oil oils - as they dry for a long time, give off the smell of acetone and quickly crack under the influence of temperature.

The optimal choice for decorating the ceiling in a small bathroom is a stretch film with a mirror effect. It is absolutely resistant to water vapor (you only need to wipe it with a sponge sometimes) and will serve for at least ten years without losing its original aesthetic appearance.In addition, such a ceiling will help minimize the unpleasant consequences of flooding.

If you need a budget repair, then you can stop at painting, but it will have to be updated every year.

Another good way to decorate the ceiling in a bathroom is plastic paneling (siding). For the frame, only a stainless steel profile should be used for them.

In a small bathroom, where it is difficult to allocate space for a spacious bath, you should undoubtedly give preference to a shower cabin. Moreover, there are models equipped with deep trays with a Jacuzzi, so lovers of romantic bathing with candles and rose petals will not be offended.

In addition to significant space savings, the booth reduces water consumption. Considering rising utility bills, this is a big advantage.

The presence of ventilation above the shower will quickly remove moisture and minimize the ingress of condensation on the finish outside.

And if you still want to lie down in the water to your full height, then the owners of small bathrooms should pay attention to the corner and curved bathtubs.

Thoughtful placement of plumbing fixtures and furniture will make even the smallest bathroom comfortable as well as practical.

To save space, it is advisable to choose a washbasin not semicircular, but small rectangular or square, but with high sides. This sink can be installed in a cabinet.

If possible, the toilet cistern should be hidden in the wall, leaving only the flush button outside. If this option is not possible, you can buy an angled or high narrow tank.

The compact side-loading washing machine can be built into any free niche: under the sink, boiler, in the corner between the bathroom and the wall, or above the toilet. One has only to provide an insulated outlet nearby and hide the pipes discreetly.

In order not to spoil the expensive plumbing, it is better to drain the dirty water directly into the sewer hole.

To store things in a small bathroom, you should make the most of the vertical space - put tall pencil cases, hanging shelves, towel dryers.

For shampoos, gels, foams and other hygiene products in the side parts of the bath, you can equip door shelves with brackets that open at an angle of 45-60 degrees, or make narrow horizontal shelves with sliding screens.

Another great idea is a pull-out shelving unit. Clean towels can be folded in it and will be well protected from moisture.

In a small bathroom, you can get by with one or more light sources, but in no case should it be a hanging chandelier.

It is also worth abandoning conventional incandescent lamps - they get very hot during operation and can burst if splashed with water. LED lamps are best suited for these criteria.

To create a more romantic atmosphere in a small bathroom, you can use neon strips, spotlights for shelves and niches, as well as fluorescent elements on the floor.

To make the interior look harmonious, before starting the renovation in the bathroom, you need to choose the style that is most to the liking of the owners. It will promote relaxation and improve your mood every time during water procedures.

Clear symmetrical shapes, the absence of unnecessary details, monochrome tones, chrome or glossy finishes will create an impression of conciseness and completeness.

Shades of ivory, sparkling porcelain and shimmering gold floral designs - a royal bathroom for true aristocrats. The abundance of light and brilliance will do an excellent job of increasing the space.

In this decor, French romance is intertwined with rustic freedom and simplicity. Pastel shades are used - lavender, greenish, blue, pale pink. Of the drawings allowed - small dull flowers. Furniture should have a slightly vintage look, such as scuffs on light paint.

The loft is characterized by bare walls, imitation of stone or brickwork (preferably grayish-white), high whitewashed ceilings, and lack of decorations. Suitable for free artists, bohemians, as well as those who despise the ordinary and value freedom.

Space-saving and compact design is an ideal solution for a small bathroom. Everything you need is hidden in the cabinets, creating an atmosphere of lightness and spaciousness.

The snow-white color with small splashes of gray and black reminds of mountainous northern rivers or ice-covered peaks. This setting is great for refreshing and also energizing. Decorating in unobtrusive colors and without any bright details will visually increase the area of ​​the room.

To ensure the integrity of the interior, for finishing a small bathroom, you need to use no more than three colors that are close in saturation. It is advisable to leave dark, contrasting, voluminous things and patterns for some spacious halls or outdoor pools.

This is the traditional color of sanitary ware - clean, clear, maximum reflective light. It is easy to relax in such an environment and, moreover, it can be easily combined with any other shades.

The shimmering overflows resemble a clear stream running from the tops between the stones. Surrounded by mirrors and chrome-plated metal, the light gray color will help relieve stress after a hard day's work and bring back vigor in the morning.

The shade of sky and water is the most soothing. It makes you breathe deeper and seems to fill the entire space with fresh air. It is the perfect setting for a white bathtub and sink. It is a real crime to break up such a magical duet with “spots” of other colors; in extreme cases, you can add a little silver accents.

When foliage is reflected in the river, the water appears greenish. In the same palette, you can find shades of sea waves, shimmering bluish-turquoise with a golden glow from the depths. A similar design in a small bathroom will give rest to the eyes and relaxation to the body.

In Soviet apartments, most often you can see a one-meter-long toilet and a cramped bathroom, the area of ​​which does not exceed 4 square meters. But even in such conditions, you can be smart.

For example, the sink can be placed in the corner above the bathtub, so it will not interfere with anyone. And having built a spacious niche above the toilet cistern, you can easily place a water heater in it.

Our gallery will help you to see real examples of the design of small bathrooms. After looking at the photos, you will find unusual ideas for saving space in bathrooms, the area of ​​which is the same as yours.

I will not tell you for a long time. maybe))
I had free time, I decided to save on work (according to my calculations, it is> 200 thousand rubles.)

During work I tried not to use the tool - “. and so it will come down ”, which SIGNIFICANTLY increased the terms of the project. But at the final stage, I had to use this tool. Yes, and in the process it was possible to use it more often, because no one and nothing would notice the difference and would not feel it in any way when using the object.

What it was: a standard bathroom in a new building with peeling plaster)

What is done:
1. The walls are aligned. The ceiling-floor drop was up to 6 cm.
2. The old floor was removed - tiles, screed, underlay, up to the concrete slab. The new floor has become lower than the floor of the hallway, as it should be, but in fact, nonsense.
3. Communication. I hid everything in the walls. New eyeliner for the spirit, sink, hot water heater and washer.
4. The riser is hidden in a box of tiles.
5. Heated towel rail. It was - VERY STRANGE ZAGOGULINA. It has become - beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The eyeliner is also new.
A soldering iron for polypropylene costs 1000 rubles, soldering pipes like a children's designer. The plumber only takes 500r for the call.
6. Shower room. The pallet is tiled, the walls are made of glass blocks. Floor drain.
Those who use the plastic pallet don't understand them. they say that it is bad to wash tiles, and it is cheaper from plastic.
To me, it looks like a collective farm. We would then have bought the whole cabin.
Plastic hatches for me, too, KOLKHOZ.
7. Plumbing. We decided not to save. Shower column hansgroe. Installation. I do not remember.
8. Floor - granite. Heated. The switch should be bought at a higher price with different modes, as it is really needed. I saved, I'm sorry. buy a new one.
9. Sink, mixer, countertop.
Sink - bought on the first try. Toilet bowl, mixer, installation. everything was changed more than once, as the wife says: “I don’t like something”. Well, it's purely feminine.
The mixer was changed.

The table top is a piece of wood. Sawed off. Polished. Painted.
If someone is interested there is a photo of all the works step by step. How to upload a lot of photos did not find, one at a time - a long time.

This is if everything is in 2 words, and so, it is endless hemorrhoids. Better to make more money and hire professionals. Now I understand perfectly why the pros are expensive)))

At first, everyone was covered with dust. but then the apartment turned into the Sahara desert. The dust was EVERYWHERE.

To make a quality bathroom renovation, you don't have to have big finances. Indeed, if you wish, you can significantly save money.

For example, you can refuse the services of a designer and yourself come up with a style in which the renovation will be performed.

You can also save on the construction team and do everything yourself.

But in order for the process to be established and the result achieved, it is necessary to draw up a detailed plan of action in advance.

So, you will need:

• Come up with a design;
• Stock up on the necessary materials and tools;
• Make an estimate;
• Calculate the exact dimensions of the bathroom and the dimensions of the plumbing;

When choosing a design, you need to pay attention to the area of ​​the room. Owners of a small area should take into account that a small space is less functional.

Light colors in the interior and large mirrors on the walls will visually enlarge the room.

You can refuse to install a bath and give preference to a shower cabin. Thus, there will be more space in the room.

For hygiene products, instead of bulky floor-standing cabinets, you can hang compact hanging cabinets.

After you have decided on the choice of design, you need to draw up an action plan. After all, in order for the process to go on continuously, all actions must be performed sequentially.

Neglecting previous work can significantly affect the final result.

This is a very important stage in the renovation. An unpleasant moment may be that if the calculation is not correct, there may not be enough tiles, panels or other building materials.

Indeed, in the process of cutting and masonry, some of the material can be damaged. To avoid such an incident, you should initially purchase building materials with a margin.

To remove tiles from walls and tiles from the floor, you need to stock up on a hammer and chisel. However, it will be easier to cope with the work with a punch or drill. There are two options for dismantling: gentle and emergency.

The first is done with a hammer and chisel. First you need to soak the grout, and then carefully separate each tile from the wall or floor.

The second option is much faster, but more “dusty” and “noisy”. To do this, you just need to demolish the coating with layers using a perforator.

• 

First of all, a screed device is installed. If the installation of an additional "warm floor" system is not provided, then the height of the screed will be 1-1.5 cm. The height will be 3-4 cm if the floors are further insulated.

There are several types of "warm floor" system: water, film and electric. Any of the systems preserves the microclimate in the bathroom well, at the same time it has a low cost and is easy to install.

Today on the market there are materials for the bathroom for "every wallet". First of all, it all depends on the finances that you have. Most often, tiles are laid on the walls.

But you can choose a more budgetary option, for example, plastic panels or special moisture-resistant plaster. At this stage of the repair, everything depends on your imagination and finances.

When repairing the ceiling, it is worth starting from the materials that were used on the walls. So, for example, elastic vinyl film looks very nice with tiles and plastic.

• 

If you plan to make a ceiling with different transitions, then use a special moisture-resistant drywall. However, there is also a more budgetary option: plastic panels.

After all the finishing work has been completed, you can install the bath, furniture and plumbing. DIY repair is not easy, but very informative. Plus it can save you money and make the design exactly the way you want it!

More recently, the vast majority of homeowners around the world have commissioned bathroom designs in a neutral color palette with traditional furnishings. Practicality took the place of pomp and redundancy of decor, rationality and minimalism of small rooms replaced the brightness and pomp of large bathrooms. But, among those who are planning to order a renovation or reconstruction of a bathroom, there will always be creative personalities for whom it is not enough just to get a space perfectly tiled with light tiles for taking water procedures. Recently, trends have begun to change, in the interiors of bathrooms there is much more individuality, personalized for the lifestyle, preferences and even the character of the residents.

For everyone who is not afraid to let bright and rich colors into their home, use design elements of decor even in utilitarian rooms, abandon traditional finishing materials and take on the fancy forms of modern plumbing, our publication. Many interesting design projects of bathrooms in a modern style, harmoniously admitting as elements of modernism, minimalism, country and industrialization, will be able to inspire you to bold solutions within the framework of their city apartments or country houses.

Let's take a closer look at what it is - a modern bathroom interior for daring homeowners. And let's start our excursion with the methods of finishing the surfaces of the room.

This pitchfork appeared in the West at the beginning of the 20th century during the heyday of the Art Nouveau or Art Nouveau style. And now on the walls of the subways of Western countries or America, you can see neat bricks of tiles, representing the decoration of the walls. In our country, you can often hear the name "hog". It seemed to someone that the view of the tile from its end, with two holes, looks like a pig's patch, hence the nickname of the tile that has taken root among the people.

Metro tiles are of different sizes, complexity, material quality, and differ in the type of edge. But, the same similarity for all varieties is the way of laying out - like a brick wall. If the tile is presented in a version without an edge, then for contrast, grout in darker tones for white tiles is more often used and vice versa.

This type of wall cladding is a versatile option for a neat and inexpensive way to protect the vertical surfaces of a bathroom or shower from moisture. It is perfectly combined with other types of finishes and transforms into almost any style of the room.

In this bright bathroom, subway tiles are not immediately striking, and not only because of the neutral color scheme. It's just that there is a very unusual ensemble of antiques and artwork in the neighborhood.

In the case of the subway tile, made with a beveled edge, which gives texture to the brickwork, and even in a glossy version, such a finish is guaranteed everyone's attention. The deep, rich color of the Art Nouveau bathroom apron cladding becomes the focal point of the room around which the entire design concept is built.Contrasting combinations and original fresco complete the unusual image of the room.

Another version of the bright color of the "hog" tile in an equally bright room of the bathroom, made with a decadent mood. Against the background of the dark cladding, the snow-white carved furniture looks luxurious and festive.

This bright blue subway tile has become the focal point for contemporary room design. The harmonious combination of contrasting shades was the designer's best color scheme.

In this spacious and very luxurious snow-white bathroom, you don't immediately notice how the walls are tiled. Pretentious baroque furniture, a royal chandelier, French scalloped curtains - in such a bathroom you can take water procedures with a truly royal scale and mood.

Contrasting color schemes allowed the bathroom design not to drown in the sterile whiteness of finishing materials. Oddly enough, it was the dark blotches that defused the atmosphere of the modern interior.

No matter how many millennia have passed. And humanity will not stop using mosaics to decorate and decorate the surfaces of their homes. Originating in the antique period, having gone through many transformations, this type of decoration is popular to this day.

Mosaic tiles can be neutral, calm. Especially if the riot of colors outside the bathroom window requires an environment that does not distract from the landscape.

Or maybe bright, stormy, emotional. An entire underwater kingdom, created by the skillful hands of a master who selected each piece of the mosaic by color, size and texture, was created within one room. There are even a periscope and portholes in this bathroom. Mosaics on the walls are so all-encompassing and realistic that it is difficult to determine the size of the room, to see the boundaries of the ceiling and walls, for example.

In this bathroom, mosaic tiles have been used as the flooring. Clarity of forms, geometry and contrast of deep color solutions have created an individual, laconic image of the bathroom.

Everything in this glamorous bathroom is colorful and luscious. A bright mosaic around an elaborate mirror completed the non-trivial image of a room with a red ceiling and a chest of drawers consisting of mirrored plates.

Three colors of mosaic tiles have created the incredible character of this bathroom. Geometric shapes dominate texture and transform space.

The latest trend in bathroom design is the alternative replacement of ceramic tiles with moisture-resistant modern materials for surface finishing. Porcelain stoneware can still be seen on the floor of a modern bathroom, but it is also often replaced with raw materials from a natural group of eco-materials.

As a rule, such bathroom designs are simple and laconic, made with a predominance of neutral color palette, often in snow-white tones.

Often the bathroom space continues the line of colors and finishing history of the bedroom, near which it is located. In this case, only the colorful finish of the floors allows you to zone the room.

For a minimalist style, there is no place for ceramic tiles in a modern bathroom, the walls are treated with moisture-resistant emulsions in neutral tones. There is nothing superfluous in the interior, practicality and rationalism, nothing distracts from the key object.

This small, bright bathroom is made using painted wood veneer, moisture-resistant plaster and laminate for rooms with high humidity. The bohemian atmosphere is added by an interesting chandelier and a print on the wallpaper-film.

It's rare to find bathroom designs in such dark colors. The play of contrasts in the Art Nouveau style is a key design technique.

In this grayish-white kingdom of concrete, there is more than a bathroom. But also a laundry. Usually, a similar design is chosen for the utilitarian rooms of loft-style apartments. These are not always former industrial premises, but the scope of space and spaciousness of the premises allows the use of industrial style.

In modern design, you can also find a brick wall finish.Sometimes a brick is just a stylization for real material. But real brickwork is often found in the interior of a modern bathroom or shower.

Concrete surfaces are only slightly diluted with the coolness of natural stone. Light marble looks gorgeous against the background of a grayish finish, and interesting decor elements complement the image of a non-trivial room.

Due to the bright decoration of the accent wall with a fireplace and a mirror in a carved luxurious frame, one gets the impression that they just brought a bath to the living room. The upholstered carved chair just adds a touch to this puzzle. The absence of tiles and stone also refers to the interiors of living quarters.

In the interior of this bathroom in pastel colors, stone tiles, which are often used for outdoor use, were used for the flooring on outdoor surfaces. It is in perfect harmony with the dark shade of the wooden bench and window shutters.

No matter how modern the finishing materials are, no matter how quirky and futuristic the plumbing and bathroom accessories seem, it will never be superfluous to bring a little natural warmth with the help of eco-friendly materials.

Untreated timber beams and a chunky bathtub blend harmoniously into the modern bathroom. Contrasts in texture and color schemes have benefited the interior.

The active use of wood and stone to decorate the surfaces of this room with natural shades, created an atmosphere of closeness to nature. Huge panoramic windows from floor to ceiling seem to blur the line between the external surrounding nature and the interior of the bathroom.

Just a couple of wooden elements in the design of a modern bathroom can change not only the appearance, but also the character of the room.

This bathroom-sauna seems to have appeared around a pile of large stones, which now act as a screen and zoning elements. Wood and stone are the best choices for a suburban interior.

Among the adherents of using ceramic tiles for finishing bathroom surfaces, as the most practical and durable way, there are also daring homeowners who prefer to bring brightness to the room and do not limit designers in flight of imagination.

A bright tile pattern can invigorate the most inconspicuous and modest bathroom. Starting a new day in such an environment is incredibly pleasant and positive.

Ceramic tiles, reminiscent of oriental bazaars in their brightness, become an accent element of the entire interior, beckoning its character and mood.

Despite the calm, natural shades of the facing tiles, the interior looks bright and non-trivial, it is filled with contrasting color combinations.

The shower cubicle, tiled with colored tiles, looks chic against the background of the dark blue bathroom surfaces. A graceful royal chandelier, French windows and the sheen of modern bathroom accessories add to the luxurious ambiance.

Wood-look tiles have become an excellent choice for cladding small spaces. Unusual flooring and striking decor items completed the individual look.

Textured tiles in the form of snake scales became the highlight of this design project. The surfaces of the room seem to flow smoothly into each other, transforming the space with the help of form and texture.

In a ready-made bathroom design project, you can change the look and feel with accessories and textiles. This is a fairly economical way to bring brightness to a room or to create a bridge between color and texture solutions in a bathroom.

Just one inexpensive part with active colors increases the level of optimism and positiveness of the room.

Curtains in the shower room or on the windows can be a key element of your interior, eye-catching and creating a unique atmosphere.

In this French Provence-inspired bathroom, roller blinds from the mat look just the right thing to do, matched with wood décor and furnishings.

Light and transparent linen curtains have become an excellent accessory for a small bathroom, shading gray in the design of the space near the mirrors

Roman curtains made of cotton fabric are a worthy option for a bath in a strict minimalist style with a snow-white finish.

Bright colored curtains are also an accessory for the bathroom area, which is located right in the bedroom. This is a great option for a bright, springtime setting in an unusual room.

Within the framework of small rooms, shower curtains are a necessary thing that can also act as an interesting decor item.

And finally, we bring to your attention some interesting, non-trivial images of bathroom design with modern finishes. We hope that they will be able to inspire you to accomplish your own renovation or renovation of the premises.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! I want to tell my story of bathroom and toilet renovation, separate. Since the purchase of the apartment, the renovation of the bathroom was postponed for 3 years, since other rooms were the priority. Now the right time has come, we were just on vacation with the whole family in another city, spontaneously decided to come home a month earlier before the end of the vacation to start work. This was at the beginning of 2016. Therefore, all materials were purchased in Mirny, if they had planned in advance, they could have been ordered from the mainland and would have received significant savings. The budget turned out to be in the region of 150 thousand (approximately, another + -30 thousand), purely according to the materials. The main amount is collected from baths, tiles, plumbing. Basically I did all the work myself, if others did, then I can safely add another 150-200 thousand to the amount of materials for the work (probably). In our city, all prices are very high, this is a fact.

We have a house in 1996, the area is small, the bathroom, toilet, and balcony are very tiny. But the prices of apartments are the same as in Yakutsk, but the squares are lower.

Probably I will make a post in the form of a photo report with notes. We got a lot of photos.

On the floor lay old Soviet square tiles, which were glued either with concrete or with super glue, hammered with a perforator for 3 days 3 nights). Sorry neighbors again. The walls were covered with wallpaper that was painted.

A good semi-professional assistant in the repair and cleaning of carpets.

I bought tiles, I honestly don’t remember how much they cost. Wall-mounted ones cost 110 rubles / tile. Russian production. The quality is 3 minus.Even in the same box, the dimensions in length and width are different, so when you glue, the level begins to play. And if they had ordered from the mainland in advance, then for this money it would have been possible to order branded imported tiles, they do not say such a jamb.

A simple toilet, for 7 thousand. Karl. Big mistake.

The bathroom is acrylic, I like it, voluminous. Length 150 cm.

The old bathtub was made of metal. cooled down quickly.

The preparation of the sub-floor is in full swing. Deep penetration primer application. Then the concrete screed.

Neighbor Aunt Lyuba made adjustments from time to time, Soft tasty buns!

Work on replacing old metal pipes. I called the plumbers of the housing and communal services, they cut off the water, made 2 transitions to plastic from the hot water and cold water risers, and also installed 2 counters, 1 heated towel rail. Having emptied my wallet for $ 10,000

This photo shows how old metal pipes are clogged.

For a complete replacement of pipes they asked for another 15 thousand rubles. This is without breaking the walls. And my wife had an interesting idea. After watching a video on the installation of polypropylene pipes on YouTube, I decided to do it myself. I bought a welding machine for 2 thousand rubles. In principle, nothing complicated. The main thing is not to overexpose the pipes in the welding machine.

Didn't like the paint on the wall. To remove paint, I made just such a structure from a 5 liter bottle with a connection to a vacuum cleaner. The result was not particularly pleasing, because very long, dusty and noisy. I will say in advance, it’s easier how to do it: the paint that leaves itself - we clean it, then we go through the paint again with a scraper or chisel, then we buy a solution - concrete contact, apply and that's it. The surface becomes flaky, like coarse sandpaper. Tile glue is calmly adhered to it.

There are traces of a grinder on the wall.

Since the floors are very uneven, the slope is 3-5 cm per 1 meter, it is necessary to make an even level using the so-called beacons (green dots on the floor). Then, between the beacons, we throw a concrete solution and connect the beacons. We will fill in the inner squares along these lines.

As a result, we get a flat floor. There will be a bath on the right, so I decided to save some concrete there, we will level the level with the help of the legs.

Next, a layer of waterproofing is applied. For every fireman. Before each layer of concrete or waterproofing, apply a primer for better adhesion.

We glue the tiles, make a distance of 2mm between the tiles, using crosses. In the future, the inter-tile space is filled with a special grout.

Bath installation. Behind the bathroom, he chipped the wall and put a pipe from the mixer in there. When you switch the mixer mode to the shower, water will flow from the top. This is the wife's idea.

On the left is a strobe for electrical wiring, we connected a washing machine and made sockets. Right for the shower. Red is the concrete contact layer.

2 mixers)) The bathroom fills up 2 times faster))

We begin to glue the tiles on the wall from the level of the bathtub. First we go through 1 horizontal line, then 2 rows of tiles. You can see how to glue tiles on the Internet, I watched YouTube)). There you can find the entire repair process.

By the way, our walls are very crooked, sometimes with a propeller, sometimes with a slope. nightmare. And no one knew how to level the walls and would not have time. The most difficult areas were the corners. More glue, time and nerves. Now the walls are not crooked at all.

My mistake. I glued the mirror to the tile glue. The mirror is old from the previous owners.

Here you can see very clearly. Above, the corner goes back to back, and from below it begins to diverge. The question was solved by grouting and more glue)).

The ceiling has already been made. Lighting - 5 point diode lamps, enough for the eyes. A shower is installed, it works well (China), bought in Yakutsk, I don’t remember which store.

Drying glue spoiled the reflective layer.

Dismantling with your favorite hammer drill.

I bought an ordinary countertop, we have nothing but ordinary things in our city. Or in the tridoroga they will make to order "cool type".

Found a bedside table just in size.

Not a single centimeter between the cabinet and the bathroom. End-to-end. My perfectionism gets high. I installed the tabletop on the corners in the wall and on the bedside table. Holds on tight. At least jump.

Voila.The joint was smeared with white sealant.

Here is the final result.

The skirting board needs to be redone, hack. The shower is good.

Toilet. The foundation has been prepared.

Concrete screed. It is done like in the bathroom.

Waterproofing. Don't forget about the primer.

And we begin to glue the floor tiles.

There are many pipes, meters, etc. To hide all this wealth, we make a frame structure from profiles with drywall.

A concrete contact is also applied to the drywall, then the tiles are glued. The ceiling is the same as in the bathroom, here it is 2-point. By the way, both the bathroom and the toilet are equipped with ventilation systems (fans). A very useful thing.

A hidden shelf was made behind the toilet.

That's all. In time, I spent a year. 1 month did the main thing. Then a little bit, then the doors were changed, then they made a shelf in the toilet.

In Yakutsk, you can do everything even cheaper, and in a more original way, there are more choices in stores and prices are lower than ours. So go for it. The post was made so that others are not afraid to make repairs, everyone can also, even better... The main desire.
