Manual for repair in the bathroom with their own hands

Repair of the bathroom with your own hands is an urgent issue, because at any given time any room needs repair, especially for bathrooms in Khrushchev.

Any repair in the bathroom: cosmetic or capital, made by yourself, will save a lot of money.

However, if for some works there is not enough knowledge and skills, then it is better to turn to professionals, because the safety of using the bathroom depends on this.

It is also important to choose quality materials for the bathroom to avoid repeated repairs, for example, inexpensive tile adhesive entails unpleasant consequences in the form of tiles that have fallen off.

For the correct execution of work you need to know: how to make repairs in the bathroom. It is also recommended to look in more detail at all stages of the video on the

Preparatory and installation work

As a rule, both cosmetic and overhaul in the bathroom with your own hands begins with preparatory work. To perform repairs, the room must be completely freed.

It will be ideal if there is only a sewer stand and drainage in the room, as in the photo.

Preparation for repair

Walls need to be cleaned from the old coating to the concrete foundation.

Cleaning should be done qualitatively, on the surface should not remain even the smallest areas with old mortar and plaster.

If we talk about the bathroom in the Khrushchev, then there may be a box that provides ventilation.

This box can be safely removed and replaced with a box of plasterboard.

The next stage is the installation of pipes. Pipes made of polypropylene are recommended. Polypropylene is an inexpensive material ideally suited for a bathroom.

Steel pipes are cheap, but they are susceptible to corrosion, so their service life is short. Begin work with a water pipe. Standard walls are either plastered or plastered with plasterboard.

In the presence of a duct, the pipes are held closely along the walls without special grooves for pipes in concrete, as in the photo. The pipes are fixed to the wall using clamps.

Pipe box

In the case of plasterboard, the tight fit of the pipes to the walls is explained by the fact that the installation of the plasterboard box reduces the space of the bathroom, and due to the tight arrangement of the pipes, the area reduction will be minimized.

For sewerage pipes with a diameter of 50 mm are required. When the device is made of plasterboard, all pipes are mounted inside, in other cases special grooves are made.

The grooves should be such that the pipes can be completely hidden in the wall. After that, the walls are plastered.

Sewer pipes in this case should be placed on the bottom, closing the box along the entire length. This method is recommended for bathrooms in Khrushchev.

The next step is very important - the installation of electrical wiring. Wiring in the bathroom provides good lighting, and also allows the use of various household appliances.

Location of outlets, lamps, switches should be considered in advance. If there is a box of plasterboard, all the wiring should be hidden behind it.

All wires must be insulated. For this, the wires are placed in a cable duct or an insulating corrugation.

If the gypsum board is not included in the plans, for example in the hruschevka, then the wiring is fixed to the wall and covered with plaster.

Sometimes it is necessary to make electrical wiring to the plastered wall, in which case it is necessary to make grooves in which the wires are laid, then plastered with plaster or alabaster.

Detailed installation of wiring in the bathroom is presented on video.

When the room is prepared, the pipeline and electrical wiring are ready, all materials are acquired, you can proceed to finishing works.

Wall repair

Finishing works in the bathroom start either with plastering walls, or with the manufacture of a box of plasterboard, which will serve as the basis for any design idea.

Plaster - a cheaper option of finishing in the bathroom. When plastering walls, the surface is primed first. After that, the lighthouses are exposed, as in the photo.

Lighthouses for plastering

To this end, vertical strips are attached to the surface, over which the surface will be leveled using the rule.

There should be a distance between the slats so that when aligned around the edges of the rule, 10 cm remains to the slats.

When the beacons are ready, you can proceed to the preparation of the plaster solution.

Cement and sand are mixed for the mortar, after which the mixture is applied to the wall and leveled with a rule.

If necessary, plaster can be applied in two layers: first apply one layer, and after it dries - the second. The next day, the plaster is rubbed to remove unevenness.

The main task is to create a smooth surface of the walls for further tiling. This method of decoration is presented in the video.

Consider the manufacture of a plasterboard box in the bathroom. The frame of the box is made of metal. You need to start by attaching the UD profile from below and from above along the walls.

Next, vertically, you need to insert a CD profile in 40 cm increments. Along the CD profile, fixing brackets are fixed every 50 cm. Profile and staples are fixed with screws.

At this stage between the frame and the wall it is necessary to place a heater of mineral wool or polystyrene, as in the photo.

Warming under the plasterboard

The carcass partitions are similar. For the main perimeter, a UV profile is required, and CV is used as the internal profile.

When the frame is ready, it is possible to pass to the skin with a moisture-resistant plasterboard that is attached to the profile by screws 25 mm long. Joints between sheets must be glued.

Making a box is better to look at the video. The box is not recommended for rooms in Khrushchev, which have a small area.

The next stage is the facing of the walls. There are different ideas for facing the walls in the bathroom. Excellent option - tile, which is an ideal option for a room in Khrushchev.

Tiles must meet certain requirements: all angles must be straight, and the surface must be flat and perfectly flat.

It is recommended to use porcelain stoneware, which, of course, is not quite budget-priced, but is more resistant.

You need to start by calculating the number of rows and performing the markup. Laying should start from the second row, since the first row is more convenient to stack in the last turn.

The top row must be laid only from solid tiles.

Adhesive is applied to the wall and to the tile, and the leveling of the gluing is checked by level. On the adhesive can not be saved, because the cheap composition will not provide proper fixation.

Between the tiles you need to install special crosses that will ensure the same seams. In the corners of the walls horizontally, the tiles should be of the same width.

Tile adhesive is best chosen slowly drying, this will eliminate the errors in work, without damaging the coating. When the glue grabs, the crosses need to be removed and the whole surface wiped.

Then you need to grout the grout with a special mortar. The end result should be as in the photo.

Other materials can be used for wall cladding in the bathroom: plastic panels, vinyl wallpaper, paint, flexible stone - this will allow inexpensive to implement the most daring ideas.

Floor repair

Next you need to update the floor, especially the floor in the Khrushchev. For the floor in the bathroom you can use materials such as tiles, liquid linoleum, flooring.

Ideas for sex exist different, you need to choose, based on the possibilities.

The bathing floor for the bathroom is better to choose a two-component: the initial pouring protects against leaks, and the liquid - aligns.

It is forbidden to use expanded clay for the screed in the bathroom. Although this material is inexpensive, it absorbs water, and this leads to the destruction of the screed in the bathroom.

Glass-magnesite slabs are recommended, the material is inexpensive - almost at the price of drywall. Such plates immediately fit on the reinforcing mesh, and then beacons are exposed.

The mortar for the screed is prepared as follows: cement grade not lower than M400 and sieved sand are mixed in a 1: 4 ratio.

Water is added in an amount equal to the volume of cement.

Also need to add PVA emulsion - 10% of the water volume. Cement screed should dry for 40 days.

It is better to choose ceramic tiles from the floor tiles in the bathroom because it does not slip when wet. The tile is, of course, inexpensive, but also more dangerous.

The laying of tiles is carried out in a manner similar to masonry on the wall, only without seams. Each tile should be taped with a rubber mallet after laying.

Before proceeding to the finish of the floor in the bathroom, you need to make a waterproofing. The usual inexpensive material in the form of a film will not work. It will require aqua-isol or its analogues from polyester.

Joints of waterproofing are glued together with mastic. The material should be laid with an overlap on the wall by 25 cm with folds in the corners, after which you can produce a new screed or fill the floor.

Ceiling Repair

Various materials can be used for ceiling repair, the ideas of which will be discussed below.

The first option of finishing the ceiling in the bathroom is plasterboard. Manufacturing technology for the ceiling is similar to the manufacture of a wall box. Drywall should be filled and then painted.

Not recommended for a ceiling in a Khrushchev, since it will make the height even smaller.

The second option for the ceiling is more budgetary - applying putty on the concrete slab. This will be an ideal option for small rooms in a Khrushchev with a small ceiling height.

The third option - the ceiling finish with plastic lining. The fastening is carried out in a similar way to fixing the ceiling from gypsum board, only the metal profile is replaced with wooden slats, an example in the photo.

Laying the lining on the frame

On the reverse side, the bale is to be treated with PVA emulsion. Laying is carried out on mounting glue or silicone.

For this, the adhesive is applied to the tongue groove, the excess should be removed immediately. The last two elements must be stacked together.

Before grasping the adhesive, each board should be pressed with rack and pin supports. The technology of finishing the ceiling can be viewed on video.

The main condition for choosing the material for finishing the ceiling in the bathroom is its moisture resistance. However, if you make a ceiling insulation, then the formation of condensate can be eliminated.

In the bathroom it is recommended to use glass-magnesite plates, between which a heater is placed. Fixing sheets with silicone or mounting glue, glue - an inexpensive option.

Thus, knowing how to do the repair yourself in the bathroom, you can implement any design ideas with great savings in money. The whole process is presented in detail on the video.
