A Step-By-Step Bathroom Remodeling Guide And Checklist

Thinking of remodeling your bathroom? But haven’t planned ahead of time? Here is a step-by-step guide and checklist provided below to assist you in organizing and planning your bathroom remodeling. You can contact our remodeling contractors for professional assistance.

STEP1: GATHER INFORMATION AND PLAN

  • PROJECT PLAN -   The first step is to decide and plan the design of your bathroom. When all of the layout design and other requirements have been met, it is time to start planning the project's timeline. Set a schedule for when the construction company and plumbers can start working.

  • BUDGET - The budget for the entire renovation should be planned in advance to ensure that the project is completed on time. A budget will help you steer what to include in the remodel design. Material and supply, hired contractors, designs and permits, and inspection fees are some of the most common budget costs.

STEP 2: DECIDE WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR ADDED

Deciding on what’s needed for your renovation can largely impact the budget. We frequently misjudge the number of fixtures and additions in a bathroom. So here's a list of the essential bathroom fixture items.

  • Faucets
  • Bathtubs
  • Lights
  • Cabinets/Shelves
  • Vanity
  • Grab bars
  • Hand shower
  • Showers/ shower heads
  • Soap holders
  • Switches
  • Tissue paper holders
  • Toilet paper holders
  • Sponge holders
  • Ventilation
  • Paints
  • Sinks or hand basins                         
  • Towel bars
  • Shower curtain rod
  • Robe hook
  • Mirrors

  • Wall coverings
  • Heaters

STEP 3: ELECTRICAL WORK

The following is a list of areas in the bathroom where electrical work is required to ensure proper lighting and ventilation. 

  • Exhaust fan.
  • Electrical outlets and switches.
  • Buy new appliances if needed.
  • Bulbs.
  • Lightning around the ceiling.
  • Lightning around the mirrors.

STEP 4: DECIDE WHETHER TO DO IT YOURSELF OR HIRE A CONTRACTOR

You can plan and complete the project yourself if you have carpentry and remodeling skills, but it may not be worth it. The project might have dangerous incidents that necessitate professional assistance. It is advised to hire professional renovating contractors who have the required skills, expertise, and experience to accomplish the work on time.

STEP 5: ORDER THE MATERIALS IN ADVANCE

Order all of the materials required for your remodeling project in advance. This is where materials may require more fixing time than you anticipated, particularly if you have custom design ideas in your plan.

STEP 6: PERMITS AND TESTINGS

You must ensure that all permits and testing are in order for the project to be completed on time.

  • Construction permit 
  • Electrical work sanctions
  • Plumber permit
  • Asbestos testing
