DIY bathroom repair video tutorial

In detail: do-it-yourself bathroom repair video tutorial from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

In order to efficiently and relatively quickly carry out the repair of the bathroom on our own and without the involvement of third-party specialists, it is recommended to study in detail the entire sequence of work. However, drawing up a sequence and observing it is only half the battle; for a beginner builder, it is necessary to obtain certain theoretical and practical knowledge that is necessary to work with finishing materials. In order to get the necessary experience, you need to watch a video of the bathroom renovation, where experienced specialists will not only show, but also talk about the features of all finishing materials. For a complete presentation of the specifics of the processes, we decided not to make a photo report, since the picture does not convey all the subtleties of the process. Instead, we have selected several video tutorials that will briefly describe all the stages of work in full.

After drawing up a preliminary project and purchasing the required amount of building material, you can safely proceed to dismantle the old plumbing and decoration, which requires replacement during repair. It is recommended to start dismantling by removing the plumbing, as it will interfere with removing the old cladding from the walls and floor of the room.

The stage of work in this case will be built as follows:

  • we disconnect the drainage system from the plumbing elements and close this hole from dirt and debris;
  • the water supply system is blocked and the washbasin with the toilet is disconnected;
  • the bathroom, toilet and sink, along with all the furniture, are taken out of the room to free up space;
  • all old water pipes are cut down to the main shut-off valve;
  • using a punch, hammer or spatula, remove the entire finish to the concrete base.

It is important that if the plumbing pipes cannot be replaced, then they must be protected from damage when removing the finish. How to remove old tiles can be seen in the video of the renovation in the bathroom, which is presented below.

At this stage of the work, the channels in the walls are prepared for new plumbing and its installation.

It is important to remember that if you have no experience in laying plastic pipes, then it is recommended to invite a competent specialist for this work. If you decide to do everything yourself, then we suggest watching a video report on how to work with PVC pipes below.

If the pipes are hidden in the wall, then the sequence of work will look like this;

  • using a perforator, pipe channels are laid in the wall according to the preliminary design;
  • then the pipes themselves are laid with soldering in the connecting places;
  • the hot water pipe is pre-insulated to reduce heat loss;
  • install additional elements in the form of filters, mixers, manometers and water meters.

For a visual aid, you can watch a video tutorial on bathroom renovation, which describes the installation process.
