It is always possible to change the layout of any existing bathroom suite to suit the clients requirements but take note that this sort of work will incur financial and time implications due to the additional Plumbing work and other associated skilled labour costs.
Yes, grout colour is a significant factor to the overall look and finish of a bathroom or any tiled area. Our experienced tiler is best placed to take in the account the layout, the amount of natural light, the colour of untiled walls and the overall style of the bathroom to provide you with some colour options. Basically there are two ways to go with grout colour, one that blends with the tiles or one that is in contrast and stands-out. We always use Ardex products and are fully accredited Ardex waterproofers.
The size of tiles is totally dependent on the customers preference, however there are a few rules and best practices when it comes to choosing the size. Generally; larger tiles can make a small room feel bigger and create an illusion of more space; smaller tiles will generate more grout lines which can look busier yet have more of a visual impact but bearing in mind that more maintenance is involved with the upkeep; mixing tile sizes in an area produces a unique effect to a room e.g. (wall) large 600mmx300mm laid horizontal with a mosaic horizontal border at chest height with the larger tiles situated on top of the border the same method can be applied vertically thus generating very different ‘looks’.
No, not at all. If you have one bathroom in your home, there’s no need to move out with our additional service of portable bathroom hire. Our sister company, the Little Bathroom Co, is on hand and available exclusively for Victorian Bathroom Company clients during their renovations.
If you have more than 1 bathroom, we would recommend staying in your home and by having the rooms renovated simultaneously, not only do you save money (and time) but by hiring the Little Bathroom, you save yourself the stress and inconvenience of having to move out.
Like kitchens, bathroom renovations do add value to your home.
“Most renovations add value to your home, and knowing how much this could be can be a great way to justify the investment into a remodel.
After all, if you’re able to eventually recoup a large percentage of the money that you put into a project, it suddenly makes a lot more sense, especially given that the reason you first considered a new bathroom was most likely that it needed upgrading, modernizing or improving.” – copied from https://www.renofi.com/learn/value-of-a-bathroom-renovation/
“With certain renovations reported to provide a return of up to 70 per cent according to Business Insider, homeowners thinking of selling their home soon or who want to increase their home’s worth ahead of a future sale may be wondering which are the most valuable rooms to think about remodelling. When looking for their next home, buyers will pay most attention to the rooms they really need, and this includes the bathroom.
A bathroom renovation is widely considered to increase the value of home significantly, with recent homeowner renovators estimating they have added thousands to the value of their home. Whether a renovation is structural or simply cosmetic, an attractive bathroom will always appeal to the savvy buyer.” From https://raywhiteoakleigh.com.au/news/just-how-much-does-a-bathroom-renovation-add-value-to-your-home
