How to Update Your Bathroom on a Budget

If you’d love to renovate your bathroom but don’t have the money, we have rounded up some quick updates you can make without breaking the bank. Small renovations can make a huge difference to a tired-looking bathroom, so if you’re hoping to update your bathroom on a budget in Eastbourne, this post is for you.

Regrout your tiles

One of the most common ways a bathroom looks dated is dirty or broken grout. A grout removal tool is cheap and can be picked up in most DIY stores. If you don’t want to remove the old grout, you can also give it a thorough clean with a specialist mould cleaner and then give it a facelift with a grout pen for the same effect.

Update the tiles

If your entire bathroom is tiled, it’ll cost a lot to retile. However, if you only have tiles around the fixtures, it’s an affordable project to update them. Go for a simple, plain subway tile for a modern look that will outlast trends. Or choose a geometric pattern to make a bolder statement.

Either way, updating your tiles is an easy way to transform the entire bathroom.

Replace the taps

Old taps date a bathroom and usually end up rusty or covered in limescale. Replacing the taps is a quick and affordable way to update your bathroom without breaking the bank. If you want to leave it to the pros, our team can remove your old taps and install new ones for a great price. Go for chrome for a modern look or matte black for something bolder.

Repaint the walls

If you don’t have floor-to-ceiling tiles, putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls will give your bathroom that renovated look you’re going for. Pick a specialised bathroom paint that prevents mould, and choose a light, bright colour to make the room look airy and clean.

Update your accessories

If you’re on a very tight budget, simply switching out your bathroom accessories can make a huge difference. Choose some fluffy white towels, a plant or two, and some modern glass dispensers for soaps to give a hotel vibe.

Keep the same layout

If it’s time to invest in a new suite for your bathroom, try to stick to the same layout. A lot of the cost of having a new bathroom installed is redirecting waste pipes to relocate the toilet, bath, or shower.

By keeping the layout the same, you’ll save a considerable amount of budget, and you’ll still end up with a stunning new bathroom that looks great.
