3. Use High-End Products

Using cheap products in your bathroom renovations will lead to more problems down the line. At Bluchip, we only use specialist suppliers who use the best quality and most reputable brands that have the Australian Standards Watermark.

4. Update Your Pipes

Sediment can form in pipes over time and reduce the water pressure in your bathroom. If this happens to your old water pipes, we recommend that the pipes and connections be replaced with either a reliable plastic pipe or copper.

5. Stick to Your Budget

It’s easy to get carried away and start spending on lavish extras that you really don’t need. Set a budget, allow for a 20% buffer for any unforeseen issues and stick to it. You don’t have to spend a fortune to have the bathroom of your dreams. One great bathroom renovation tip to avoid overspending is to keep your plumbing system following the same layout. If the drainage pipes don’t need to be moved, you’ll save a lot of time and work, and a lot of cash in the process.

6. Rushing Plans Without Clarity

When discussing your bathroom renovations with us, it’s crucial you’re clear about what you want. Agree on the heights for the counters and the shower and be sure you consider every element of the design. Ensure that you have the space to make your plans a reality too. For example, if you want to install a recessed cistern, you need a certain amount of space behind it. If you don’t have this space, it’s much more difficult to install a feature like this in your new bathroom.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and make sure everyone involved is clear on the outcome before work starts. By being clear in your requirements at the start, you’ll avoid running into any extra bathroom renovation costs as the renovation moves forward.
