There is no one change to a house that can increase its value quicker and more effectively than a new bathroom. By installing a new suite of bathroom furniture, you will make the property much more attractive to potential buyers immediately, as well as creating a more pleasant environment in which to live.



Planning what kind of bathroom you want to install in a house can be tricky. If you are planning to sell the house on soon, and are simply investing cash in order to boost your profit, then there is no need to go overboard on luxury equipment unless it is necessary to fit in with the rest of the property.

The first step in installing a new bathroom is to remove the old one. Remove the fittings and fixtures and strip the walls back to the plaster. Getting the right finish is important in a bathroom. Moisture can damage the walls, so make any necessary repairs and patching before repainting or fixing tiles.

By removing the old bathroom furniture, you can take the opportunity to rearrange the room to make better use of the space, perhaps installing a corner tub for a more luxurious feel, or a separate shower cubicle to offer more flexibility.

Make sure that your new bathroom decor fits in with the style of the rest of the house, and is both relaxing and neutral. Pale blue is an excellent color for the bathroom, thanks to its soothing nature and relationship with water. Stay away from bright colors that may reduce the resale value of your house.

It is a good idea to have the installation of the new bathroom suite professionally inspected and checked before any finishing work is done. This will eliminate the risk of hidden leaks that can damage the ceilings of the floor below, and give you peace of mind.
