Of course, all the surfaces in the bathroom are best, but this is an expensive solution. The tiles can be partially applied: make a half-meter edging around the bathtub and sink from white squares, and paint the rest of the walls and ceiling in the color you like;

After all, even an economical option for renovating a bathroom can be very attractive in appearance. In addition, it will not be difficult to do it yourself, which will further reduce the cost of your repair.

Options for budget bathroom renovations

So, we decided on the budget. Let's figure out which jobs require the highest costs.

Replacement of plumbing fixtures and faucets.

If your plumbing is in good condition, great, this will significantly save you on bathroom renovation costs. If not, consider restoration. For example, a bathtub can be restored with acrylic. And you can simply disassemble the faucets and replace outdated gaskets and clean them from limescale ordinary vinegar. What we don’t recommend saving on is hoses for faucets. A flood from a burst hose will wipe out all savings on repairs.

Replacing communications.

Water and sewer pipes, fittings, heated towel rails, etc., are in themselves an expensive pleasure. But the work of laying them also involves cutting walls or unsightly external laying of communications. It’s hard to get away with cheap bathroom renovations here. Therefore, we recommend considering the following options:

• If the pipes are not rotten and you are satisfied with their location, paint them with good enamel.
• You can also “sew up” communications in a plastic box, or in one made of moisture-resistant plasterboard. How to make a frame from metal profile read our article ““.

Ceiling repair.

A budget option for repairing the ceiling in the bathroom would be to simply paint it with latex water-based paint. But this is only if you have a flat ceiling. If you need to level it, then an inexpensive repair option would be:

• Plastering the ceiling followed by puttying and painting
• Ceiling finishing plastic PVC panels

To plaster the ceiling, clean it of old paint or whitewash. Prime it well with a deep penetration primer. Apply the plaster solution to the ceiling and level it with a plaster float. Let the solution dry a little and smooth it with a grater again. After the plaster has dried, apply the primer again. After a few hours you can start puttingtying. Apply the putty in a thin layer, starting from the edges or from a place free from putty. This way you will not leave dents in the fresh putty that has already been applied. Let it dry and smooth it out with sandpaper or sandpaper. Apply primer and repeat the cycle again. Then the ceiling can be painted.

To decorate the bathroom ceiling with plastic panels, you must use a galvanized metal profile to create a supporting frame. Do not use for these purposes wooden slats. In conditions high humidity bathroom, they will rot very quickly.

Mark a horizontal line along the perimeter with a level or level. Attach the guide profile to it. Make the lathing using a wide profile 60x27 mm. Attach the panels to it and.

Wall repair

The most budgetary and economical wall repair will be simple painting. Paint should be applied to the prepared wall surface. To do this, the wall must be smooth, clean and primed. Don't forget to apply penetrating waterproofing before painting. Choose moisture-resistant paint. It is best to use latex or acrylic water-based emulsion.

Another one of inexpensive options finishing and repairing walls in the bathroom – PVC finishing panels. Here the sequence of actions is almost the same as in the case of the ceiling.

If you have good but old ceramic tiles on your walls, you don’t have to replace them, but restore them. Today there are a lot of “chemicals” for restoring the surface of tiles and tile joints. The same option can be used for floor tiles.

Floor repair

If restoring floor tiles is not your choice, then there are other ways to make economical bathroom floor renovations.

For example, you can put linoleum on the floor. This is an inexpensive material, moisture resistant, and can be quickly installed.

You can also make a self-leveling floor. For more information about floor repair options, see our topic ““.

Do-it-yourself budget renovation of bathrooms and toilets.

Good day, gentlemen and ladies! I want to tell my story of renovating a separate bathroom and toilet. Since the purchase of the apartment, renovation of the bathroom was postponed for 3 years, as other rooms were a priority. The right time had come, the whole family was just on vacation in another city, and I 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 we had planned in advance, we could have ordered them from the mainland and would have received significant savings. The budget turned out to be around 150 thousand (approximately another +-30 thousand), purely based on materials. The main amount is collected from the bathtub, tiles, and plumbing fixtures. I basically did all the work myself; if others had done it, then you can easily add another 150-200 thousand for the work (probably) to the amount of materials. In our city, all prices are very inflated, this is a fact.

Our house is built in 1996, the square footage is small, the bathroom and balcony are very tiny. But the prices of apartments are the same as in Yakutsk, but the square footage is less.

I’ll probably make a post in the form of a photo report with notes. There were a lot of photos.

Let's go. Housing issue.

On the floor lay old Soviet square tiles, which were glued either with concrete or super glue, hammered with a hammer drill for 3 days 3 nights). Neighbors, sorry again. There was wallpaper glued to the walls and painted.

A good semi-professional assistant in repairs and carpet cleaning.

I stocked up on tiles. Honestly, I don’t remember how much they cost. Wall ones cost 110 rubles/tile. Russian made. Quality 3 minus. Even in the same box, the dimensions in length and width are different, so when you glue it, the level begins to play. And if you had ordered from the mainland in advance, then for this money you could have ordered branded imported tiles, they say they don’t have such a problem.

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

The bathtub is acrylic, I like it, it’s voluminous. Length 150 cm.

Old bath was metal. cooled down quickly.

Full speed ahead Let's prepare the base of the floor. Application of deep penetration primer. Then a concrete screed.

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

Replacement work metal pipes. I called the housing and communal services plumbers, they turned off the water, made 2 transitions from the hot water and cold water risers to plastic, and also installed 2 meters and 1 heated towel rail. Emptying my wallet for 10 thousand.

This photo shows how old metal pipes become clogged.

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

I didn't like the paint on the wall. To remove paint I made from 5 liter bottle Here’s a design 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 to do it: if the paint comes off on its own, we clean it, then we go through the paint again with a scraper or chisel, then we buy a solution - concrete contact, apply it, and that’s it. The surface becomes flaky, like rough sandpaper. The tile adhesive adheres smoothly to it.

Here are the marks from the 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 we throw a concrete solution between the beacons and connect the beacons. We will fill 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 concrete there and use the legs to level it out.

We glue the tiles, make a 2mm distance between the tiles using crosses. In the future, we fill the space between the tiles with a special grout.

Bath installation. Behind the bathroom I tiled the wall and put a pipe from the faucet there. When you switch the mixer mode to the shower, the water will flow from above. This is the wife's idea.

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

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

We begin gluing tiles to 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 an angle... a nightmare. But no one knew how to level the walls and would not have had time to do so. 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 with tile adhesive. The mirror is old from the previous owners.

You can see it very clearly here. At the top the angle is close, and at the bottom it begins to diverge. The problem was solved by grouting and more glue)).

The ceiling is already done. Lighting - 5 spot diode lamps, enough for the eyes. The shower was installed, it works well (China), we bought it in Yakutsk, I don’t remember in which store.

The glue dried out and ruined the reflective layer.

Dismantling using your favorite hammer drill.

I bought an ordinary tabletop; in our city we have nothing but ordinary things. Or in Tridoroga they will make it to order “like cool”.

I found a bedside table that was just the right size.

Not a single centimeter between the washing machine and the bathroom. Back to back. My perfectionism is getting high. I installed the tabletop on the corners of the wall and on the bedside table. Holds tight. At least jump.

Voila. The joint was smeared with white sealant.

Here is the final result.

Organizing a budget bathroom renovation with your own hands is a doable task. The right strategy when choosing finishing materials and a clear understanding of the progress of work will allow you to transform a bathroom without compromising quality, even with a modest budget.

Process organization

Proper planning is the first step towards successful completion. Most of the work in the bathroom during a budget renovation can be done with your own hands. Removing old coatings, dismantling plumbing fixtures or painting can be done even by a novice craftsman.

But if there is not enough experience in tiling walls, you should think about inviting specialists to certain areas of the bathroom renovation. Don't overestimate your strengths and capabilities. Sometimes redoing your own mistakes will cost more than inviting a specialist in the first place.

When the bathroom renovation work has been distributed, we move on to the selection of finishing materials. It is better to avoid well-known import brands. A significant part of the cost is the brand fee, which when budget option repairs look impractical. Cheapness Chinese goods also not the best option.

Advice! Choose a domestic manufacturer or an assortment from Poland, Slovenia and Bulgaria.

This applies to both finishing materials for the bathroom and plumbing fixtures. The combination of reasonable cost and good quality - distinguishing feature offered products.

An important condition for a high-quality result when doing it yourself budget renovation is compliance technological process. If any stage of the work is in doubt, listen to the recommendations of specialists; improvisation may be inappropriate.

Remodeling a bathroom automatically increases the repair estimate significantly, so there is no need to talk about a budget option. Leave your ideas for moving walls or plumbing to another place until better times, when there are no financial restrictions.

Volume preparatory work removal of old cladding depends on the choice of new materials. Sometimes this stage can be avoided. Mandatory dismantling of plumbing fixtures is required if plans are to replace them.

Wall decoration

Economical bathroom renovation includes several wall finishing options:

• coloring;
• installation of PVC panels;
• wallpapering, including self-adhesive film;
• tiling from the budget segment.

Each method has undoubted advantages and some negative points.

Coloring

Coating walls with paint is a leader among economical finishing options due to its ease of execution and low costs. A competent approach when choosing paint and high-quality preparation of walls is the beginning of the path to success.

Advice! It is not recommended to completely cover the walls of the room with paint.

A project where areas near the sink and bathtub are lined with inexpensive tiles or moisture-resistant ones is characterized by greater efficiency. PVC panels.

Moisture resistance and antibacterial properties – prerequisites when buying paint, otherwise it will not be possible to avoid the development of fungus and peeling of the coating in the bathroom. High performance characteristics against the backdrop of budget cost, the following are inherent in paints:

• latex;
• acrylic;
• silicone.

The absence of a pungent odor is an undoubted advantage of water-based compositions, and silicone paints perfectly serve as a water barrier. It is better to avoid using oil mixtures. After a short time after renovation, the bathroom walls will become covered with cracks.

Therefore, careful alignment of the walls is mandatory. The advantage of gloss is the ability to visually increase the space of a small bathroom.

Often, during renovations, it is necessary to remove the old paint coating from the walls of the bathroom. You can do this in several ways:

• purchase paint removal liquid; during the work process you will also need a spatula and a scraper;
• take advantage thermal methods when the old coating heats up construction hairdryer or a torch, and the swollen paint is cleaned off with a spatula.

Naturally, after the removal process is completed and before painting begins, the whole range of measures is carried out: sealing cracks, eliminating protrusions, priming.

The photo shows a bathroom with a DIY budget renovation:

PVC panels

You can repair bathroom walls with PVC panels. In terms of cost, this will cost slightly more than purchasing paint, but the method has two clear advantages:

• The appearance of the bathroom after a budget renovation using PVC panels, from a design point of view, is incomparably better.
• No carrying out required careful preparation wall surfaces.

The panel installation process does not contain complex steps and can be done with your own hands. After calculating the need for material, the lathing is formed. For these purposes they are used plastic profiles with clips. Wooden slats are also suitable for economical bathroom renovations. Pre-impregnation of the material with antiseptics will protect the slats from increased moisture.

Wallpapering

The option of renovating a bathroom using wallpaper also has the right to exist; the main thing is to choose moisture-resistant products. Work is underway at a fast pace, removal of the old coating is not required in all cases. There are 3 main types of wallpaper intended for use in the bathroom:

• Vinyl with non-woven base. The price is quite high; repairs will require the purchase of special glue, which is not always advisable in an economy project. But high performance characteristics serve as the basis for popularity among consumers.
• Washable. Compared to vinyl copies, they are less practical and the cost of the product is correspondingly lower.

  ​Note! When renovating with your own hands, it is advisable to avoid covering areas of the bathroom that may be exposed to water.

• Self-adhesive film. Incredible practical material, which is initially equipped with an adhesive layer. Wide range design solutions is able to create a wonderful transformation in a bathroom after renovation.

High quality and attractive appearance self-adhesives come with 3 negative points:

• Quite a high cost of the product, which may not fit into the budget repair estimate.
• Bathroom walls require careful preparation, since any flaw under the self-adhesive wallpaper will be extremely noticeable.
• Quite a complicated application process. The painstaking process takes much longer than standard pasting.

Tiling

Budget renovation also includes the use of wall cladding. tiles. The main thing is to choose an inexpensive product with decent quality. Advantages of the solution:

• the material is resistant to temperature changes;
• not afraid of high humidity, withstands prolonged contact with water;
• washes well;
• resistant to mechanical damage.

The following negative aspects may become an obstacle to use in the bathroom during budget renovation:

• Additionally, you need to purchase a mixture for fixing to the wall and a grout joint;
• walls with old paint need preparation, the coating must be removed;
• the process requires some experience and not everyone can do it themselves; inviting a specialist will increase the repair estimate;
• It takes more time to cover than when wallpapering or painting.

The best option when renovating a bathroom with budget project– combination of cladding. The area near the bathtub and sink is decorated with tiles, and for those less exposed to water, a simpler and more economical covering method is chosen.

Ceiling finishing

Scope of work budget finishing the ceiling depends on its original condition. It is enough to cover a flat surface with water-based paint or whitewash it. It’s a simple and quick process that you can do yourself. It is recommended to remove significant curvature or disguise bathroom communications suspended structure. The material used is slatted elements or PVC panels.

Main advantages of choice:

• affordable price segment;
• simple lining procedure;
• does not require ideal preparation of the surface of the bathroom ceiling;
• successfully disguise wires and pipes;
• It is possible to install built-in lamps.

The result of the budget renovation is shown in the photo:

Floor covering

The finishing option depends on the repair estimate and the condition of the old bathroom flooring. Sometimes just refreshing the appearance of the tiles is enough. To do this, you will need to remove the grout and select a new one that matches the color of the tile.

It is quite simple and cheap to lay linoleum, but this measure will be temporary. Increased level humidity in the bathroom provokes the development of mold on the linoleum.

Comment! Avoid negative consequences for budget repairs, purchasing PVC-based linoleum or without a base at all will allow you to purchase it.

When renovating a bathroom, tiles are more practical, even at a budget price. The cladding is carried out without dismantling old tiles. The screed will require labor and time. To renovate a bathroom floor, choose tiles with a rough texture to avoid slipping and cause injury.

If you have an extremely limited budget, the most economical option would be to purchase a large rubber mat that will maximally cover the free space of the bathroom floor. It can be changed much more often than any stationary coating, and a fresh look for the interior will be ensured at minimal cost.

Nuances of choosing plumbing fixtures

Replacement of plumbing fixtures in the case of budget repairs is not always carried out. Sometimes they settle on the option of restoring the bathtub. There are several update methods:

• The inner surface is treated with two-component polyester enamel. The most budget-friendly method.
• Restoration with liquid acrylic is characterized by greater durability and cost.
• Sometimes both methods are unacceptable due to the deplorable condition of the bathtub. An acrylic tab, fixed with sealant, will save the situation.

Each of the methods still involves financial costs, although they will be incomparably lower than purchasing a new bowl.

If a budget renovation involves purchasing new plumbing fixtures for the bathroom, consider the following options:

• Acrylic container. Located on the bottom step price segment. Easy installation and simple maintenance are the key advantages of this product for the bathroom. Short service life and instability to mechanical damage are the main negative features.
• Cast iron is characterized by greater practicality. The cost is higher than acrylic analogues.
• Steel bathtubs in their characteristics are between acrylic and cast iron products.
• If having a bathtub in the bathroom is not important, you can think about installing a shower stall. But the renovation will already go beyond the budget.

When replacing bathroom sinks, choose between hook-on or pedestal hardware. The first option is more budget-friendly, the second is more aesthetically pleasing, as it successfully masks communications. The nuances of choosing plumbing fixtures and the preference of domestic manufacturers were discussed in the first section.

Conclusion

Small little things can embellish the interior of a bathroom after a budget renovation. Original curtain, decorative stickers and new accessories will enliven the design of the room. Communications are not left open; they will ruin the result of even the most expensive bathroom renovation. A budget-friendly way to quickly hide functional elements of the decor is to form plastic box. It will take little time and expense, but the result will be obvious.

Are you on a limited budget and your bathroom needs urgent renovation? No problem! Knowing some secrets, you can update the room without much expense.

Secret 1: don't remodel

If you decide to do the repairs yourself, first create a clear diagram on which you will depict where and what will be located. Decide where you will put the washing machine, cabinet, and so on.

Just remember, if you want to save money and time, do not bother rearranging the bathtub, toilet and washbasin. Otherwise, you will have to spend additional effort on pipes. Leave the plumbing fixtures where they are.

Secret 2: use PVC panels for walls

Many people think that it is easier and cheaper to paint the walls. You can agree with this if you already have perfect smooth walls. But, as a rule, before finishing you have to dismantle the old coating, and then level and plaster the surface. And this means effort, time, costs for materials and tools.

The best option is plastic panels for the bathroom. Their installation does not require surface preparation, as they are attached to the sheathing.

The main advantages of PVC panels for the bathroom:

• inexpensive;
• easy to install;
• are not afraid of moisture.

Secret 3: the simpler the ceiling, the better

But for the ceiling, painting is best suited. As practice shows, this is the most reliable and durable finishing method for a small budget. The main requirement is that the paint must be waterproof.

An alternative is the PVC panels we discussed above. They will become the best option if the ceiling is uneven. In addition, this finish will help you place the lighting as you want. This is also the advantage suspended ceilings- they are also often used in the bathroom.

And the cheapest way is simple whitewash. It's environmentally friendly and cheap solution For flat surface. But having chosen it, you will have to frequently update the whitewash, because high humidity will deteriorate the surface.

Secret 4: Put the practicality of the floor above the attractiveness

The floor in the bathroom must be reliable. Don't look for original pattern and texture. Quality comes first here.

Experts advise buying ceramic floor tiles. Of course, it must be resistant not only to loads (especially if it is intended to install washing machine), but also to humidity.

And remember: inexpensive dark blue, black or gray tiles on the floor in a finished interior will look much more aesthetically pleasing than their expensive, tacky counterparts.

Secret 5: forget about brands

Brand does not always mean quality. And sometimes a well-promoted brand only means inflated prices to the buyer. It's no secret that many of the products under well-known names are not produced in the brand's homeland.

Therefore, when purchasing plumbing equipment and finishing materials, better pay attention to technical specifications and product properties, material and warranty. And don't listen to salespeople who say otherwise.

Secret 6: why buy new if you can update the old

Don't throw away old bath, if it can last for decades more. Restoring the surface of a reliable product that has been tested over the years is much cheaper than purchasing something new. Acrylic coating, for example, will cost only 3-3.5 thousand rubles, and the bathtub will become snow-white and sparkling again. It's better than buying new plumbing. And the pipes under the bathtub can be covered with an inexpensive standard plastic screen.

Secret 7: Don't chase a unique design

Simple and concise solutions always look more profitable than too bright and pretentious ones. In addition, it is easy to save money on simplicity. Let the background be calm - you can dilute it with inexpensive bright details: colored curtains, rugs and original accessories.

If temporary measures are needed

We do not always make repairs thoroughly and for a long time. For example, in a rented apartment you often have to come up with all sorts of tricks to make the room more comfortable and beautiful with almost no investment. And sometimes the tiles in the bathroom fall off completely unexpectedly, when our budget is not yet ready for large expenses. In this case, temporary measures can come to the rescue:

• You can lay linoleum on a leaky bathroom floor. A wide rubber mat will also work.
• Another trick is to cover an unsightly part of the wall with a painting or any other decor that you can make with your own hands.

Use all the secrets of budget renovation, and you will meet the minimum amount, and your guests will never guess about it!
