Do-it-yourself toilet repair quickly and inexpensively

In detail: do-it-yourself toilet repair quickly inexpensively from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Summer is a time not only for vacations, but also for repairs. Everyone wants to put the apartment in order, but not everyone has enough funds for this: the crisis has passed only in words, but in fact "things are still there". But we are Slavs, which means we’ll get out, because the saying “is cunning for inventions” really works.

Today we will consider the cheapest (oh, sorry - the most economical) option for repairing a toilet. So!

Toilet - this is not only (pardon the expression) latrine: it is a place where not only you, but also your guests go. And if the toilet has tattered walls, cracked tiles, and holes flaunt on the floor, then such a place can be called a toilet purely hypothetically: in fact, such a place is easier to call a "toilet" or "parasha" (sorry for the expression). Naturally, after visiting such a “sight”, your guests will not have a very positive opinion of you - a fact!

It is clear that repairs are needed. But, as already mentioned a little above, you may simply not have money for expensive tiles, plumbing, etc.: all this is pretty much worth it. But did you know that if you need to make repairs in the toilet, then you can get by with a rather small amount of money?

It is not at all necessary to glue expensive tiles in the toilet.

Firstly, this repair option has become boring for a long time, and even if the tile is very beautiful, it is still just a banal tile.
And secondly, why spend money on tiles when ordinary foam tiles can be purchased for this purpose?

Yes, yes: the very patterned tiles that are glued to the ceiling! The advantages of this face repair option:

Video (click to play).

1 incredibly low cost;

2 very low specific gravity, which will allow you to significantly reduce the repair time: foam tiles do not "float", they do not need to be constantly held and corrected;

3 glue paste for gluing foam tiles is very inexpensive;

4 no need to buy grout separately: use the same paste as the grout for the joints, on which the tiles were glued;

5 tiles can be of different color shades, so it is not at all necessary to glue white tiles: there are turquoise, blue, yellow, etc.

6 foam tiles are very easy to cut to size (unlike tiles, which are very difficult to cut even with a tile cutter). In general, solid benefits!

The only thing that is required of you is to make the walls even. To do this, knock down the old tiles.

(or remove the old paint) and, using the "level", perform the algorithm for leveling the walls with a solution.

The smoother the walls are, the cooler the styrofoam tiles will look on those walls!

After pasting the walls with ceiling foam tiles, do not forget to glue the upper plinth (pad): so to speak, for the best "calico"

... The ceiling, of course, should also be covered with the same tiles. In general, everything is ingenious - not only simple, but also economical, fast, understandable and beautiful!

And one last tip: if you want to visually increase the area of the toilet, then put blue tiles on the floor!

Rarely, when visiting friends, we admire how the toilet is installed in the toilet. But, when we need to use the services of a restroom, then we can appreciate the convenience of this necessary element. Is it difficult to install the toilet yourself? Let's try to figure it out.

First, decide on the toilet model. Pay attention to the fastening systems in the product design. They are mostly the same, but in some cases they may be different.Attention should also be paid to preparatory work. So let's get to work.

Before installing a new toilet, decide which method you will use to secure it. The easiest is to screw it to the floor using heavy duty filler plugs. It is important that the intended place is level. Otherwise, tightening the bolts or screws tighter, the lugs in the toilet will simply burst.

Another way to fix the toilet is to cement it. In this case, it is necessary to take care of a sufficient thickness of the screed. Otherwise, it will not withstand the loads - and then it can turn out to be very funny.

Before installing the toilet, you must check the communications in advance. The water supply must be at the right distance to the drain tank. The sewage system must also be in proper condition (the pipes must be airtight and have the required slope). All this needs to be taken care of in advance so that later you do not have to remove the toilet every now and then in order to perform the necessary work.

After we have prepared the base for the toilet and checked all the appropriate communications, you can proceed directly to the installation of the "chair". Before attaching it to the base, we connect the drain pipe. Thanks to modern technology, this can be done quickly and without any difficulty. For this, a corrugated siphon can be used. If the drain tank is intended to be fastened directly to the structure of the toilet, be very careful. Such models of toilet bowls, even with small cracks or chips, become unusable.

Some additionally process the joint gaskets with silicone sealants. This will provide maximum protection against leaks. The drain pipe does not need to be treated with such materials, as this can complicate repair work, if such are required. In addition, all the connecting elements are perfectly sized to each other. They are also equipped with rubber seals that provide protection against leaks. There is no need to worry that the pipe is not firmly attached. The fact is that no pressure is created in the sewer system. Therefore, such connecting systems are quite reliable.

In the event that the cistern is attached to the toilet itself, care must be taken not to be broken by those who will use the toilet's "services". The fact is that when a person sits down on the toilet, he can automatically rest his back on the raised lid. As a result, negative pressure is exerted on the tank, and it can come off from the mount. Therefore, such toilets are advised to be installed near the wall of the room. Even if someone props their backs on the tank, it will not break.

There are many ways to revitalize the interior of the bathroom. In the process of repairing the toilet, you can add interesting details with your own hands. In this article, we will talk about some transformation techniques that will help in the design of the space.

If we are talking exclusively about ideas, watch as many photos as possible. Before starting the repair, it is advisable to represent the final result as accurately as possible. Although some of them will definitely change anyway. If your toilet is already ready for renovation, the following plan can be used.

We decide on the decoration of the walls (plastic panels, PVC, wallpaper or tiles)
Choosing how to hide pipes
We decide whether we need a wardrobe where it will be located
Choosing a toilet
We look at the trends in the finishing of the current year

These are the main steps. Read about each of them with photo examples here - use the plate for quick navigation. And now - cool ideas as such, so that you can pick up something interesting and useful.

Yes, pictures. Many would say that this is a very bad idea for renovation. Nevertheless, practice takes place. The classic design option is a golden frame against a background of red walls.

For each style, you can choose the right picture that will effectively decorate the room. The frame of the product must also correspond to the overall concept.

The tone of the walls continues throughout the painting.

A massive white frame sets off the active background and matches the color of the plumbing.

Plant motifs on the wall echo decorative flowers.

The bright pattern is in harmony with the color of textiles and hanging baskets.

Pratika shows that most people prefer to make built-in lamps or something else inconspicuous in the toilet. But you can, on the contrary, make lighting a part of the design! A modern design white chandelier matches the shade of the floor, toilet and sink against a wood grain backdrop.

The chandelier is massive enough for this bathroom and attracts attention. Let's skip the jokes!

Decoration in New Year's style. The filling of the niche can be changed, depending on the mood.

An unpretentious composition on the background of wooden dies - a wreath of dried flowers and decor in the form of a dried fish. The idea is easy to bring to life, and its implementation with your own hands does not take any energy at all.

Antique forms complement the marble walls.

Red and white interior in country style for Valentine's Day. Anyone can make such a design.

Candles can replace the main light in the evening.

The accent tone of the stylized bird and the organic shapes of the lamps break the severity of the interior.

Open shelves look spectacular only if order reigns on them.

The wood texture of the shelves matches the material of the cabinet. The three primary colors look great in a single space.

A capacious shelf is formed by the upper edge of the installation box.

In a small bathroom or in a room with brightly decorated walls, avoid piling up furniture, choose a laconic form of plumbing.

A suspended toilet with installation looks compact, without unnecessary details.

Choose plumbing in the same range, especially if the room is miniature.

When choosing an active pattern for the walls, give up wall cabinets in the toilet.

Suspended toilet bowl with installation in a bathroom with an area of 0.7 sq. m.

A minimum of items in a combined bathroom with an area of 1 sq. m. This was the main idea of the repair: we do everything simply, concisely, and most importantly - cheaply and with our own hands. Tile collections have long been selected by designers in showrooms.

No, really. Anything can be found on the market these days. So why not get creative with the choice of plumbing during the renovation? The black collection of sanitary ware looks unusual and is combined with the decoration of the space. The interior is also complemented by a painting in a black frame and a spectacular vase. The twisting branches in a vase are similar in shape to a water heater.

Toilet and sink in the form of truncated and inverted cones. The perspective of the marina and the futuristic shape of the sanitary ware in the interior look interesting and stylish.

Plumbing in vintage style.

Specular reflections distort the perception of real geometry. This is not the most popular technique when repairing a toilet with your own hands; many simply do not perceive this idea in such an intimate room. But this effect allows you to visually expand the boundaries of small rooms.

The mirror makes the room not so narrow (visually).

The article is addressed to those who are going to repair the toilet with their own hands, but have no experience. I will tell you about the most popular and affordable finishes and offer a step-by-step algorithm for working. You just need to follow my recommendations to get a quality result.

The photo shows an example of how you can carry out the work yourself

Even in a small area, you can create a comfortable and attractive environment.

Repairing a toilet is both simple and complex. Simple because the volume of work is small due to the small area, and difficult for the reason that, due to lack of space, you need to think carefully about everything.

All work can be broken down into 10 stages:

Development of the future interior;
Purchase of the necessary materials and tools;
Dismantling of old plumbing and decoration;
Replacement of communications and laying of new ones (if necessary);
Construction of a box for masking pipes;
Floor covering device;
Wall decoration;
Ceiling decoration;
Installation of plumbing and other equipment;
Door installation.

To get a neat bathroom, you will have to carry out a number of works

You do not need to think about where to start work, since first of all you need to think over the layout and decoration.

To do this, you need to do the following:

Measure the area at your disposal. This is the main aspect that determines what you can deliver and how to arrange the elements.... Unfortunately, most often there is very little space and you have to adapt to the circumstances, and not come up with interesting solutions;
Determine what equipment will be installed. If there is very little space, then most often only the toilet is placed. If there is more space, then you can add a washbasin, bidet or even a urinal, it all depends on your wishes;

Equipment installation standards: from the center of the toilet bowl to the wall should be at least 40 cm, the sink should be located at a distance of at least 30 cm;

It is important to position the plumbing correctly

A wall-hung toilet can be an excellent solution. It does not take up space on the floor, but a metal frame will have to be attached to the wall, which will take about 10 cm of space. This option looks very attractive, but in installation it is much more difficult, this also needs to be taken into account;

Wall hung toilet - an interesting solution for small spaces

The color scheme should be in soothing colors. You should not use bright colors and variegated finishes, it does not look the best in the bathroom. You can look at design ideas on the Internet, there are a lot of examples, and anyone will find an option to their liking.

There are many options, find the one that you like and which you can implement

After you have decided on an approximate design, you can proceed to the selection and purchase of materials. You must measure the area of the floor, ceiling and walls in advance in order to quickly calculate the approximate costs for one or another finishing option.

First, let's figure out what you can put on the floor:

Ceramic tiles are the most popular solution. There are a huge number of types on sale, so there will be no problems with the choice. If you need a cheap option, then I will give you a little advice: look for substandard in stores, it is inexpensive, and due to the small volume, you can choose good ceramics. Most often, the marriage is not visible, but you can save very well;

The tile is a great solution, the material looks good and is not afraid of moisture and cleaning agents

Self-leveling floor is a relatively new solution that is great for a bathroom. The coating is not cheap, but due to the fact that the floor space is small, the cost of installing it will be only slightly higher than when using ceramics. In addition, this option can be implemented with your own hands, which is also important.

Such coatings can simulate a wide variety of images.

For walls, you can use the following options:

Ceramic tile. You can create patterns or even ceramic paintings on the walls. For the most discerning, a mosaic is suitable, a very effective, but also quite expensive coating;

Tiles are great for walls too

Budget finishing option - PVC panels. They cost a little, but they also look much worse than the same tile. But if you need to do it cheaply and reliably, then this decision will come in handy;

PVC panels are good for toilets

You can even stick wallpaper on the walls. You need to choose moisture resistant options. I would recommend using glass fiber as it can be repainted. That is, you can easily carry out cosmetic repairs and refresh the room in the future, simply by changing the color of the walls.

Wallpaper allows you to create a very original setting.

As for the ceiling, it is easiest to implement one of two options with your own hands:

Fastening of plastic panels. They look good on the ceiling and are inexpensive. You can choose a more expensive option - rack metal ceilings. They look presentable and are almost indistinguishable from plastic in installation;

This option looks good.

You can just putty the surface and paint it. If the ceiling is curved, then it is easier to build a frame and fix moisture-resistant drywall... So you get an even base, which must be putty with a thin layer and painted.

The color of the ceiling is matched to the rest of the finish

As for the tool, its list depends on the selected materials for finishing. Below I will provide a list of fixtures where necessary.

It is worth starting work by removing everything unnecessary. The process is simple, but it requires a lot of effort and a significant investment of time.

The sequence of work is as follows:

First of all, old plumbing is removed. Most often, you just need to remove the corrugation from the toilet. If you have old equipment, you will have to break up the cement that used to strengthen the joints;

You can temporarily put a new toilet in order to use the bathroom

The floor is usually covered with old tiles, which are very firmly in place. You can knock it down with a hammer and chisel, or with a puncher. The process is dusty and noisy, so it is better to work during the day;

Removing old tiles is a tedious job

If there are tiles on the walls, then they are removed in the same way as from the floor. If the surface is covered with wallpaper, they need to be soaked and removed. Painted surfaces do not need to be cleaned if the paint adheres to them firmly. The exception is oil formulations, they must be removed, it is best to use a special wash for work;

Everything that does not hold well is removed from the walls

If there is whitewash on the ceiling, then it must be soaked with water and removed with a spatula. Painted surfaces are inspected, only damaged areas can be removed.

At this stage, the following works are performed:

If the old riser does not inspire confidence, then it is advisable to replace it with a new plastic one. Most often, you have to change the section from floor to ceiling, adapters are placed on the connections, and the structure itself is easily assembled from the constituent parts of the configuration you need;

The riser is attached to special clamps

If you need to lay pipes around the room, then it is best to hide them in the grooves.... Communication may be needed if you put a sink and bidet or bought a toilet with a bidet. It is important to think about the correct pin layout so that everything is convenient. Even if it is not necessary to lay pipes in new places, it is advisable to replace the old steel communications with new plastic ones;

It is better to hide the pipes in the wall

Do not forget about laying the wiring to the fixtures and the fan, if any. It is also better to hide them in grooves.

To hide the sewer pipes, you need to build a box. If the riser goes in the corner, then only this part of the room is closed, and if in the middle, then it is easier to make a partition and sew up the entire space behind the toilet.

The instructions for carrying out the work are simple:

For the frame, we will use metal plasterboard profiles. Guiding elements are attached along the walls, and the structure is formed by the main profile;
First, the structure is marked, vertical lines are drawn along the walls using a level or plumb line, the outlines of the future box are drawn on the floor and ceiling;

For accurate marking, you can use a square.

A wall profile is fixed along the perimeter of the future structure. To do this, holes are drilled in the walls for fast mounting dowels with a diameter of 6 mm;

Guiding elements define the outline of the future structure

Then the frame is attached, for this, the main profiles are used. To give the structure rigidity, it is reinforced with ribs, which are located every 40-50 cm;

The frame must be rigid

The last step is to mount the moisture-resistant drywall. It is cut into pieces of the required size and fixed with special self-tapping screws with a fine pitch.

When carrying out the cladding, do not forget to leave an opening for the installation of the door to check the condition of the equipment and take readings from the meters.

The hatch will be inserted after finishing

We will start from this part of the room. First, let's figure out how a ceramic floor is made. To work, we need a certain set of materials and tools, listed in the table.

If you are going to make your own repairs in your toilet, you should know what kind of work you have to do. The video about the repair of the toilet with your own hands, which we have collected in this material, will help you implement your plans.

We bring to your attention the advice of a toilet repairman. You will learn how to save time and money by getting the job done.

The author of this video will tell you about repairing a toilet in a typical house. You will find out what work has been done and what remains to be done.

The author of this video tells what stages of the toilet repair work are ahead. You will also find out what tools you need to work.

Sewerage device in a private house.

Often, during the repair process in apartments, it is necessary to replace the sewer and water pipes, since they have been in operation for quite a long time and are far from made of the best materials. In most cases, the central risers pass through the toilet, so this event is carried out during the renovation of this room. Usually, old cast iron pipes are replaced with polymer types, which are presented in a sufficient range on the construction market.

Whatever modern materials are used for communications located in a conspicuous place, they do not add aesthetics to the room. Therefore, the pipes must be hidden. For this, a box of the required size is mounted from drywall or plastic, which is revetted with a finishing material. You can combine drywall with a roller shutter screen, which will allow you to have access to the pipes at any time.

Another way to hide communications is to hide them within walls.In this case, a puncher makes a strobe in the wall, where a sewer or water pipe is placed during the installation process, after which it is sealed with a solution or covered with tiles.

At the initial stage, you will also need to decide where the lamps and sockets will be located. If you plan to install a new point, then you need to prepare the place and make the wiring to it. For safety, electrical wiring is best done from single pieces of double-insulated wire. All wires should be under a layer of plaster or under sheets of drywall.

DIY wall, floor and ceiling decoration in the toilet

Plastic ceiling panels are quick to install, easy to clean, not afraid of moisture, and have a wide range of colors.

After all communications have been completed, we begin to work with the walls and floor. As a finishing coating on the walls, you can use paint, wallpaper, decorative plaster, etc. But most often the toilet is tiled. Since it is not afraid of moisture and is easy to care for.

First of all, let's deal with the alignment of the working surfaces. This will allow you to have perfectly flat walls and floor. Do not expect that irregularities can be hidden with a large amount of mortar. A high-quality result can be expected only if the installation of the finishing material is carried out on a small layer of glue.

It is possible to level the walls under the tiles by plastering with obligatory mesh reinforcement or by applying beacons. As for the floor, before laying the tiles, it is necessary to make a screed with a waterproofing layer laying. It can be done both wet and dry using cement mortar.

Installation of tiles on the walls is carried out after applying markings and landmarks. Using a notched trowel, the adhesive is applied to the tiles. Then she gently leans against the support (cross) and then against the wall. To achieve maximum adhesion to the wall, you can slightly rotate the tile along the axis. In the course of work, the laid tiles are constantly checked in all directions using a level.

Laying the tiles on the floor begins from the far corner, having previously made the layout of the picture (if necessary). It may be necessary to offset the first tile or trim it in order to achieve a centralized pattern or a solid piece at the entrance. Once the tiles have been laid on the walls and floor, they should dry well.

The next step will be to grout it. In this case, you can use special cement-based, epoxy or silicone compounds. Also, it must fully match the color scheme. In order not to stain the tiles, the edges must be pasted over with masking tape. Using a rubber trowel, apply a small amount of grout over the joint and press inward. After complete drying, remove the masking tape and wash the tiles.

The final stage of DIY toilet repair

The final stage of the repair is the installation of the ceiling, the installation of plumbing and electrical appliances. The most budget-friendly finishing option would be the installation of PVC boards with glue. To do this, you need to prime the ceiling. Then apply 6 ... 9 points of adhesive solution to the back side of the tile and press it against the ceiling surface. Then the process continues, each next tile is placed close to the previous one. To install plastic panels on the ceiling, you need to make a frame of metal profiles, on which they will be attached.

To repair a toilet, you need to prepare the following materials and tools:

You can fix a toilet with your own hands quickly, efficiently and inexpensively if you have some experience in this area.

He lived with his parents in an apartment in an old house, according to legend, it was built by Romanian prisoners of war, the walls are crumbling, but the ceilings are high)) While the parents were resting at the sea, I decided to make a small upgrade of the toilet.Money is running out, so PVC panels were chosen for finishing.

the original look almost from the 40s)) tore off the door casing, began to dismantle the tiles. (Drawings on the wall were painted over the paint that had fallen off, this is how the repair is being delayed until the last)))

at first I thought to get off with a little blood, to preserve, so to speak, the zest of Romanian design thought and not to change the toilet, so the box was tinkered with its original installation angle.

Everything was used: old furniture, boards, etc.

The whole tree was treated with a special primer. so as not to rot

I took the door from an old bedside table, only refreshed it with decorative film.

Using the same simple technology, I twisted a niche for little things.

Daddy will have where to put cigarettes, and mommy will hide household chemicals.

Finally, the door installer came and stuck me new paper doors.))))

Well, in the bathroom at the same time, as you can see, the spontaneous repairs spread to the corridor, the appetite comes with eating)))

The kitchen has long been finished with PVC panels, so we do not break traditions))

I worked with this material for the first time, in general, my work is sitting at a computer, what can I say, well, it's so bearable, I used to swear, but in general, nothing complicated, the panels forgive many mistakes.

Wooden ventilation in the bathroom - maybe you will never see this again)))

My parents came and gasped in surprise. Well, they say, now you can stick in a new pot. Father immediately laid the tiles and stuck in a brand new, almost silent toilet))

I also ordered and assembled a wardrobe, laid linoleum. He is generally a thorough person, he approaches the matter with a soul and in a serious way. In general, without even investing much, they significantly refreshed half of the apartment.

Repairing a toilet in an apartment is not an easy task, despite the seemingly small amount of work. The lion's share of the difficulties is connected precisely with the size of the room and with the installation of plumbing and pipes in the toilet: risers, wiring, sewers. Of course, it is better to entrust specific work to professionals, but it is quite possible to cope with cosmetic repairs without outside help. Let's find out how to make repairs in the toilet with our own hands, saving time, nerves and money, and find out where it should start.

Even a small repair of a toilet in a panel house will require a large number of different tasks. In this small room there are many different communications: piping, sewerage, heating, lighting. Replacement of the toilet itself is often required. In some cases, a defective statement for overhaul may be required.

First you need to decide on the sequence of repairs in the toilet. Renovation begins in an old house or in a new building with the development of design and calculation of the necessary materials. It is advisable to carry out further stages of repair in the following order:

removing old coatings from ceilings and walls;
replacement of heating risers and sewerage pipes, installation of toilet installations;
replacement of wiring (if necessary);
room cleaning;
preparation of the floor, pouring the screed, laying the floor covering;
installation of wall coverings (wallpaper, tiles, panels);
if necessary, assembly of a sanitary cabinet;
installation of a toilet bowl;
installation of a new door.

Even the most modest toilet renovation takes a lot of time and requires a significant investment, since plumbing is expensive. The most inexpensive repair option in the toilet is a simple cosmetic one, when the drain or wiring is not changed, but only the ceiling and walls are refreshed.

Quite often, the toilet is a tiny room in which, as they say, you cannot turn around. In houses of the 137 series, the toilet, in which, in addition to the riser and pipes, there is also a ventilation shaft, is so small that there is practically no free space between the toilet bowl and the door. Within such a small space, the development of a design before starting repairs requires a special approach. When thinking over the interior of the toilet, it is necessary to take into account some important nuances.

The central object of the toilet is the toilet. First of all, it should be comfortable. Snow-white sanitary ware looks best, although other colors can be chosen. The main thing is that it fits the general interior.

A great option for a small room is a built-in toilet. This is a practical solution: the tank and sewer pipes are removed into the plumbing cabinet, dirt, dust and microbes do not accumulate on them. Cleaning becomes much easier. In addition, the toilet in the installation moves a few centimeters deeper into the toilet, which makes staying in a small room more comfortable.
Most often, heating pipes and water meters are installed in the toilet. It is also recommended to sew them into a beautiful sanitary cabinet. The interior will only benefit from this. Opposite the meters and taps, a hinged hatch should be provided so that at any time you can turn off the water or see the readings.

It is recommended to decorate a small toilet in light colors, as they visually increase the space. At the same time, it is better to choose a dark color for the floor.

If you are tired of standard solutions, you can search for ideas on the Internet and create an unusual toilet interior in a new building. An interesting option is shown in the following photo.

You can decorate the toilet with wallpaper or paint the walls in an unusual way, but you should avoid aggressive tones or excessive variegation.

A black and white toilet will look stylish and non-standard, especially if you choose high-tech black plumbing.

The load on the toilet room is quite specific. There is often high humidity, pollution and unpleasant odors. Therefore, the toilet should be used finishing materials that do not absorb odors and dirt, resistant to high levels of humidity, easy to clean.

For the repair and leveling of the floor surface in the toilet, it will be advisable to use self-leveling floors. The mixture must be cement-based. For decoration, it is advisable to use porcelain stoneware tiles.

To level the walls of the toilet in a new building, you can use drywall, but only its moisture-resistant modification (the distinguishing feature is the green color of the sheets). For the frame, aluminum profiles are recommended, since the tree quickly rots from dampness and is affected by a fungus. You can glue tiles, paint or wallpaper on drywall.

When repairing a small toilet in an old building, this leveling method is inappropriate, since the already cramped space will decrease due to the crate. The walls can be plastered or using a glue method for installing gypsum board.

Important! Before applying the finish, a layer of plaster must be treated with deep penetration impregnation in order to protect it from the harmful effects of dampness.

The choice of finishing materials for walls is wide enough:

Tile. It is worth giving preference to the kaolion-based material (it is white on the back).
Porcelain stoneware.
Dye. The best choice is an easy-washable latex compound.
Washable wallpaper. They should be based on polyester or propylene, paper wallpapers in the toilet quickly deteriorate.
PVC panels. Suitable for "economy" type repairs.

The ceiling surface can be painted or a stretch ceiling made of PVC film can be installed, which will help prevent damage to the finish in the event of a leak from the neighbors on top.

The doors to the bathroom can be both standard and smaller, as in the houses of the 137 series. And this creates a lot of problems for the owners, since it can be problematic to find such a canvas. Only one recommendation can be given here - the door should be deaf.

When all questions on materials have been resolved and a design has been selected, you can begin the repair process. Where to start renovating a toilet? From dismantling old materials: removing the toilet, removing coverings, wallpaper, removing garbage, etc.

Repairing a toilet in a new building is easier to do: there is no need to change pipes, dismantle old finishes.

The next stage of the renovation is the installation of a new sewerage system. Now they use plastic. It is much lighter and cheaper, but not inferior in strength to traditional materials. When buying any plumbing kits, you need to check if all the rubber gaskets are in place. If they are not enough, there may be problems with the sealing of the joints.

Then they change pipes and wiring. Risers are now also made of polypropylene. They must be firmly attached to the wall, especially a hot water pipe, since they can deform under the influence of high temperatures. With the economy option, the pipes are not touched, since the price of repairs from this significantly increases. If the toilet is suspended, the installation is installed at this stage of the repair.

When doing electrical wiring in the toilet in a new building, you need to remember that the wires must be hidden in a special corrugation, and the junction boxes and wire connections must be taken out of this room.

Another point is ventilation. Often it turns out to be clogged, so it is necessary to clean it and close it with a special grill.

For efficient ventilation, it is advisable to equip a forced draft.

The repair is being completed by installing a toilet bowl and assembling a plumbing cabinet.

Knowing how to make repairs in the toilet and what kind of work you have to do, you just have to decide whether you can do everything yourself or whether it is better to entrust part of the work to professional craftsmen.

The cost of redecorating a turnkey toilet in Moscow ranges from 14-25 thousand rubles, in St. Petersburg such repairs will cost 10-22 thousand rubles. The price for overhaul with replacement of pipes starts from 35 thousand rubles.

You can save money by doing some of the work yourself, for example, dismantle the old coating, make a screed, etc. If you have no experience in performing any operations, you can watch training videos, look through photos in search of inspiration.
