There are more than enough written about the various repair technologies, the choice of those or other materials. Indeed, now you can finish the bathroom with both, and whatever, good, the range of products is not only huge, but also constantly updated with new products. But that's just all of these recommendations can be realized, given the "fullness" of the purse of the average Russian?
Probably, it makes no sense to advise that with a budget option, you need only use "this is it."We all have different concepts about beauty, convenience and comfort. Therefore, consider the problem of inexpensive bathroom repair a little differently - HOW and WHAT can significantly save without sacrificing quality. A thinking reader himself will understand that it is more expedient to buy from which producer.
"Revision" and planning
For some reason, few people think about extending the time between repairs for the bathroom. But if you carefully calculate everything, it turns out that a little spent money and time( immediately) in the long run turns out to be an impressive saving, and nerves, by the way, too. Therefore, this issue - from the category of "cheaper repair."This approach will avoid unplanned costs in the future.
In addition, many do not just have a minimal stock of materials, but so much that sometimes they fit to trade. Or throw away - dried paint, for example. Much depends on the condition of the bathroom. But once it is decided to repair it( and where to start it, write here), then it is necessary to perform several operations:
- "bare" all surfaces. It is clear that this is boring, and in general - what's the point? If the first statement can be accepted, then the second - no. A thorough examination of the base, whether it be walls, ceiling or floor, will reveal all the defects. Any crack that has appeared or become useless "sealant" at the joints is the reason for the violation of the temperature and humidity balance in the room. Probably, there is no sense in explaining that many finishing materials do not like their differences.
-
It is necessary to process all surfaces with special compounds. Mold and fungus, intensively developing in conditions of excessive moisture, literally ruin any material and equipment. If they are identified, they will need compositions to remove them( all ways to combat mold). - Defect all engineering communications. Do not leave old metal pipes, it is better to replace them immediately with plastic ones( metal-plastic ones).Any leakage is fraught with extraordinary repair, therefore, and new waste. The same applies to plumbing. Does it make sense to repair the perpetually flowing toilet bowl( mixer), or is it better to buy a new one? Do not forget about the old water meters, which constantly "wind".
- Remove all dimensions. And do not just write down, but draw a drawing of the room on a scale, with all niches and projections. This will accurately calculate the volume of all purchases( with some margin).You can use the online 3-D scheduler on our website.
Selecting
materials Here you should consider the following points:
Firstly, the , can you do the finishing yourself by yourself? After hired spices will have to pay. And a lot, because the prices directly depend on the amount of work. The more they are "bigger", the more generally they are cheaper( by analogy with wholesale).
Secondly, , and what will be needed additionally? For example, if it is decided to sew a bathroom with typical panels, then a crate, fixing elements, drills for concrete( brick) are needed. And all this also costs money. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of using the material from this position.
What can I recommend( as options) for inexpensive repair in the bathroom?
Walls
- Carefully align and dye.
- Same, but coated with a film( self-adhesive).The assortment is large, so there is plenty to choose from.
- Paneled. Now on sale there are products from plastic, which are pasted on the base. They are easily interlocked, characterized by durability and ease of care.
Ceiling
- The cheapest option is to paint. But in a year or a year and a half you will have to refresh the cover. In addition, a lot of time and effort will go into leveling off the overlap, as the paint defects will not hide.
- The best - stretch ceiling. First, , it will cover the entire ceiling, "hide" potholes, chips, irregularities. Secondly, , it is enough to wipe it regularly with a soft cloth - that's all the care. Thirdly, , you can forget about the ceiling for a long time. His "refresh"( and spend money on it) will not have to. So the installation costs are justified. Fourthly, , if the neighbors are flooded, then you will not need to repair the bathroom again. The canvas can withstand up to 150 liters of water.
Floor
-
You need to think about its waterproofing. If you flood the neighbors from below, then, in addition to the scandals, you will also have to pay a tidy sum. The best option is to cover the floor with a membrane. Given the modest size of the premises, the money is small. - Practice has shown that there are no alternatives to cheap domestic tiles. And since the room is small, then its consumption will be minimal, and it will not be possible to put much labor on its own. But from linoleum should be abandoned - in conditions of high humidity it will not last long.
The choice of plumbing
Mixer .If it is a question of cheaper repair, then the answer seems to be clear - an inexpensive model. But if you think about it - is there any point to saving on this device? After all, it is the subject of daily operation. It is necessary to focus on the quality of water entering the house. If it contains even the smallest suspensions, there are 2 options.
First .Acquire and install 1 more filter cleaning( thin).But this is not always possible because of the space constraint.
The second .Focus on models that have a ball cartridge, not a ceramic cartridge. Ceramics are very sensitive to mechanical influences when they fall between the plates of solid fractions, and constant repair of the mixer can not be avoided. For more information on choosing a mixer, click here.
Toilet bowl .Pendant models are gaining popularity. They are more compact, and cleaning in the room is easier. But for mounting this, maybe, and inexpensive device you need a supporting frame.
Shower enclosure / Corner .It is necessary to think whether all of its "twists" are needed - radio, various highlights and the like? It is better to get a simpler but more practical model. How to install it correctly, you can read here.
And the last - is the only thing you can not economize on - in time and diligence .If everything is done qualitatively, then it will look spectacular, and will last long enough, and repairs can be made inexpensively, as we have seen.
