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 with 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 should 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 area of the room 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.
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. All materials were therefore purchased in St.Peaceful, if they had planned it in advance, it 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'll tell you 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 bathtub 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

Sooner or later, there is a need to update some of the premises, which were recently renovated. Renovations that are carried out in the toilet or bathroom should be taken especially seriously. It happens that these two rooms are combined into one, so the amount of work increases significantly.
The difficulty associated with toilet renovation primarily lies in the purchase and replacement of plumbing fixtures. After years of operation, it significantly deteriorates its appearance, and also can no longer boast of its initial state. The strength of the plumbing decreases, cracks and many other troubles form.
Despite the limited space of the toilet, the owners can do everything possible to implement a design that is truly successful in many ways. The most interesting thing is that often all this can take too much money, and some people simply cannot afford large financial costs.
In this article, we will consider the specifics of doing budget repairs in the toilet with our own hands.
Here I would like to consider an issue related to the monetary side. It is obvious that now almost any repair and construction work means large financial costs, and often the owners cannot save money, especially if large-scale work is coming.
In the case of the toilet, everything is somewhat different, since often this space is characterized by a rather modest scale, within which too many materials and other products are not required.
The simplest option is to create a neutral design that requires relatively cheap and widely available resources to implement. Such a solution definitely makes sense, since a simple perception of the toilet is quite good, given that the room is used only for one purpose. Therefore, the most important thing is that the visitor inside is simply comfortable.
As for the plumbing, it is now expensive. If the toilet includes a bathtub and a sink, then most likely it will not be possible to avoid large cash costs. Of course, you can always deftly get out of a difficult situation, but in the case of plumbing, you will need a lot of money.
Experts point out that preparing for the repair in the toilet is the most important part of the work.
Obviously, replacing pipes in the process of repairing a toilet is an extremely responsible event, since over a long period of operation of the room, the very problematic moments with pipes appear, especially if they are metal, and corrosion has done its "dirty" job over a certain period of time.
Thus, when all the plumbing has been removed, you can proceed directly to the most important thing - to replace pipes. An important requirement here is to replace old pipes with new ones based on PVC. If we talk about the financial side of the issue, then it is strongly discouraged to purchase cheaper metal pipes that were used earlier. The service life of PVC pipes will simply surprise every person who does not deal with repair and construction. At the same time, the main advantage of such pipes is their resistance to a wide variety of external factors. Well, and it is especially pleasing that corrosion here is not able to spread its negative influence.
As for the location of the pipes, within the framework of such a small room as a toilet, it makes sense to hide all this under the finishing material. The good news is that PVC pipes are flexible enough that they can be placed exactly where you need them without unnecessary difficulties. Obviously, the situation with classical metal pipes will be somewhat more complicated. If there is too little space for laying pipes, it makes sense to consider the possibility of laying them open, but in those places where there will be no special attention from visitors.
The finishing process is distinguished by responsibility, since this amount of work is the most suitable for all kinds of economical solutions.
If we talk about working with the toilet floor, then there are also several options. First of all, you need to pay attention to the tile, since it is the most versatile, durable and neutral material. You can also turn to wood-based materials such as laminate, parquet, etc., but this is much more expensive than tiles, and the practicality of using these materials will not be the best.
An important aspect associated with floor renovation is its leveling. This is carried out on the basis of a cement-concrete screed, which is quickly leveled, and after drying, tiles or any other material are laid. Tiles are laid from the far corner of the room.
In the case of belt repair, there is also an opportunity to provide considerable savings. First of all, this very savings lies in the purchase of inexpensive materials. The cheapest ceiling material is Styrofoam slabs, which both look good and are durable. Considering that the toilet is a modest room in size, very little of this material is required. However, in this case, you need to pay attention to the fact that at first the ceiling is carefully leveled, since significant problem areas can make the repair process almost meaningless.
Perhaps it will be even cheaper to just whitewash the ceiling, but, as practice shows, this approach will not be able to hide even the seemingly insignificant irregularities, and they will be striking. Foam boards represent the best solution in terms of creating an interior, since the appearance of the boards can be very diverse, from a unique relief to an original color. Plates are mounted on the basis of a special glue, which will provide high reliability of fastening for many years.
As a simple and inexpensive solution, you can pay attention to the possibility of painting surfaces with ordinary enamel. Sometimes this also looks quite harmonious within a limited space.
At the end of the repair, you need to install all electrical appliances, primarily lighting lamps. If the repair is large-scale, then wiring must pass from certain places, on the basis of which the installation of lighting means will take place.
As for plumbing, experts recommend that the process of its installation be carried out exclusively by professionals. There is a high probability of making mistakes that will lead to fairly large problems.
To provide the biggest savings in repairs and material purchases, it makes sense to travel to multiple retail outlets and analyze prices. This can often save you a lot of money. Some materials can be produced by domestic companies, which ask for much less money than foreign manufacturers.
Many construction supermarkets often hold promotions during which there is a sale of certain products, usually the best suited for inexpensive repairs.

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.

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.

In this case, pay more attention to technologies that were used during the repair.
The design is of course also of great importance, but since we are about to renovate the washroom on one's own , we are interested in pipe installation technology, how to properly lay tiles and how to level the floor.
You can also view photos in magazines and on the Internet. This will help you choose the necessary building materials and familiarize yourself with building technologies.

Whether you love classics or new modern trends, the desired style can be played up with beautiful high-quality tiles and sanitary ware. Decide what colors you prefer and choose building materials and equipment according to your imagination.
First you need to remove from the walls shelves by carefully unscrewing the screws on which they are held with a screwdriver and dismantle old toilet.
If you are not going to throw it away, you can start dismantling it just before replacement pipes.
In the figure, under 1 - a tap and a valve, under 2 - a hose, under 3 - a tank, 4 - a siphon of the body, under 5 - an attachment of the body, under 6, 7 and 8 - an outlet, a bell and a solution between them, 9 - a rag.
Initially, it is necessary to close the riser and remove the toilet fixings. Sewer pipe desirable cover up some kind of cover so that the smell of the sewer does not spread through the apartment.
For the new wall tile whether the water-based paint was lying perfectly or adhered perfectly, it is necessary to remove the materials covering the walls and floor.
If you are dealing with ordinary tiles, it can be knocked down with a hammer or other tools, the wallpaper is also easily peeled off.
But if the walls were covered with paint, the situation is somewhat more complicated. You definitely need it dissolve , since the new finishing material, planted on the remnants of the paint, can simply fall off afterwards.
Plaster also washed off. How to do this correctly can be viewed on the video on the Internet.

Since the toilet, as well as the bathroom, can be quite damp, in addition, there may be a riser on which water droplets condense, it is advisable to cover the walls and ceiling of the toilet with good waterproofing.
Now on the building materials market there is a bunch of various primers and lubricants that improve the waterproofing of the walls. Therefore, you can easily choose the material that suits you at the price.
If there are cracks and dents in the walls, they must first be repaired. cement solution. After it is completely dry, the walls and ceiling must be thoroughly primed.
Of course, you can replace the whole riser, but for this it is better to call specialist and negotiate with neighbors.
If the replacement of the riser is not included in your plans, you can stop at the section of the pipeline passing through your apartment.
However, if you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to leave the replacement of pipes for later. You also need to take into account that they can be hide in a special decorative box or cabinet.
The floor in the toilet should be even , and preferably warm. But how to deal with its alignment quickly and inexpensively?
Best used for this fill ... The previously cleaned floor must be coated with a waterproofing primer (eg Ceresit CT17).
As a filling, you can use, for example, Vetonit or Tomsit mixtures. Then the floor will come out smooth and glossy. It is advisable to take a fill that dries quickly. Modern mixes are almost completely dry within 6 hours after pouring.
If you decide to save money and repair the bathroom with your own hands, do not save on tiles.
She must be quality with a beautiful pattern or solid color at will. Initially, you need to calculate how many square meters. m. tiles you will need. In doing so, keep in mind that the gap between the rows is 2-3 mm.
In order for the styling to be flat, it is necessary to use plumb line and metal or wood planks. Before getting started, watch the video on how to properly lay tiles, because even one mistake unacceptable in this case.

If you do budgetary repair and do not want to spend a lot of time on it, the ceiling can be covered with waterproofing and painted with a special water-based paint.
You can also make it stretch or made of moisture-resistant drywall.
Plasterboard installation is very simple. It is easy to cut and fit onto metal profiles with self-tapping screws.
After all the work has been completed, and about a day has passed after grouting the tiles, you can install plumbing ... As a rule, when buying a new toilet, the kit includes instructions for installing the equipment, which will help you do everything according to the rules.
If you want to make repairs in the apartment and at the same time minimize costs, plastic panels can be installed in the bathroom.
Firstly , they are cheaper. A Secondly , have excellent sound insulation, durability, and are very easy to install.
Initially, you need to decide how many PVC panels you buy.
Depending on the perimeter of the toilet and the presence of shelves and drawers, you calculate the sq. m. occupied by panels. You also need to purchase skirting boards and metal profiles to which the cladding panels will be attached. It is advisable not to buy very thin plastic, as it is less durable.
