The most difficult and large-scale in the whole house is the renovation of the bathroom. High humidity and sophisticated equipment do their job. Therefore, it is important to understand in what sequence it is necessary to carry out the work, and what will happen if this clear algorithm is violated.

Repair sequence

The first question that inevitably arises for any novice master is where to start bathroom renovation. In order to facilitate the task, you can take the standard algorithm as a basis and analyze its sequence in detail. Step-by-step repair instructions will consist of the following items:

• Drawing up a project plan
• Dismantling of plumbing and old finishing material
• Surface Preparation
• Replacement of communication systems
• Pre-finishing the premises
• Finishing facing
• Installation of appliances and plumbing fixtures
• General cleaning

Drafting a project

At the stage of creating a project, it is important to remember that the bathroom is considered quite complex from a technical point of view since it contains a large number of different communications. The renovation plan in the bathroom should be as detailed as possible, indicating all the main dimensions. 

To avoid trouble as a result of the work, experts recommend drawing up a general plan of the bathroom and then making detailed calculations for each surface separately, describing the stages of bathroom renovation.

Dismantling of plumbing and finishing materials

The beginning of repairs in the bathroom is always carried out with the dismantling of all plumbing elements. It is important to remember that you first need to remove the furniture from the room and all other volumetric elements that will occupy the workspace. This will not only free up space but also help protect furniture and plumbing from damage when dismantling old tiles and preparing the room.

Replacement of networks

At first, you can replace the water supply and sewerage, lay pipes to connect the heated towel rail, and then install the wiring. Be sure to take into account the number of consumers. For example, it can be a hot tub, a bathtub, a toilet, a bidet, and a hydromassage panel. Also think about where the mirror will be installed, and whether a hair dryer socket is needed near it. Based on this, you mount a sufficient number of outlets and water points.

Finishing work

When all communications are installed, it's time to take on the finishing work. It is necessary to decide what finishing material the walls will be faced with. It can be drywall, plastic panels, or tiles. Each process is individual, so a large number of nuances should be taken into account. 

The same applies to the floor. First of all, it is necessary to make waterproofing and pour the screed. If you want to make a warm floor, then it is important to carry out special preparation before pouring the screed. As for the ceiling, here you can choose from a variety of finishing materials. It can be plastered, painted, or fixed with drywall or plastic panels.

Plumbing installation

The next step in the renovation of the bathroom is the installation of plumbing. When connecting a bath or toilet, it is important to make sure that each joint is tight. Otherwise, all efforts will be nullified. This rule applies to each installed device that will be connected to a water supply or sewerage system.

Decoration

At the very end, attention is paid to the installation of parts that also perform a decorative function. For example, you should install mirrors, heated towel rails, shelves, and glass shower doors.  After that, you can decorate the bath with accessories such as fragrances, personal care coasters, vases, flowers, and the like. All this is carried out individually, depending on the size of the bath and interior design.

The bottom line

So, we have briefly reviewed the sequence of repairs in the bathroom. This work is not easy and requires skills, so study in detail each stage of the repair. Only in this case, it will be possible to achieve the desired result.
