Once every few years, each person strives to make home repairs, repairs affect all premises in the house, so does the bathroom ... There is a bathroom in every apartment and in almost every house and, like any room, sometimes requires repair. So, you can do the repair of the bath in the house with your own hands and then we will talk about it.
As a rule, the replacement of something in the interior entails the repair (cosmetic or major) of the entire room. But whatever you want to make repairs, if you do it yourself, you will save a lot.
Bathtub is a room in which the temperature is constantly changing, as well as in this room there is always high humidity, so you need to choose only high-quality materials for it.
Repair stages
We also install new sockets.
Having approximately decided on the amount that you are ready to spend on finishing materials and plumbing, we must not forget about the calculation of consumables. And sometimes this figure can surprise you unpleasantly, because it can be more than expected.
In order not to make a mistake, it is necessary to make calculations of all materials and enter the data into the project, only in this case you will know the exact cost of the repair.
In order to understand how many tiles you need to draw a special scheme, indicate each wall in individually and according to the perimeter indicators, draw a grid with the dimensions of the tiles.
And do not forget that when cutting or gluing tiles, some of them may be damaged. Therefore, the tiles are bought with a small margin. The materials for the floor and ceiling are also counted.
To find out the cost of plumbing, furniture and other materials, you can use the online store or specialized stores.
Before any repairs begin, preparatory work is always carried out:
Cast iron pipes, as a rule, dismantled and replaced with polypropylene. It will also be necessary to make a water connection to the washing machine, shower, sink, toilet.
To make PVC pipes, you need a special soldering iron to connect the pipes. Some home improvement stores rent these fixtures.
In order for the water to drain well, the sewer pipes should be installed
as low as possible and therefore for some showers you will have to make a podium.
So that the pipes do not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the bathroom, they should be somehow disguised. To do this, you may need to gouge the walls or build a drywall box.
For the equipment of sockets, switches and lamps, it is necessary to mount the cable, having previously drawn up a diagram.
Ventilation shafts, as a rule, are not touched, but only the grill is changed so that it fits the future bathroom interior.
Screed
When installing a warm floor, the screed technology will look like a pie, in the middle of which there will be a heating system.
