A fast facelift for your bathroom is an accessory change; even a new shower curtain, or counter top accessories can update a tired bathroom. However, going a step or two further and making quick, affordable permanent changes can really make your bathroom a more relaxing place to be! Here are some changes you can make:
Replace your sink, or update your faucet: A new sink and faucet won’t break the bank, and can really do a lot for your bathroom. If you don’t want to get new fixtures, think about taking apart the faucet handles and soaking them in vinegar to remove hard water stains, it will only take a screwdriver, and a few minutes!
Repaint the walls and ceiling: Try changing the color on the walls, or just repaint; fresh paint always helps a room!
Remove and replace old caulking: Anywhere there is caulking in your bathroom, the longer it is there, the more chance there is that it is dirty or cracking. Scrape off the old caulking completely before applying the new.
Re-Grout tile: Tile lasts nearly forever, but sanded grout does not! Scrap out your old grout (don’t let it go down the drain) and apply new grout. Consider switching to epoxy grout (read all instructions first!). Epoxy will not stain or crack over time.
Remove, paint, and replace your trim: This sounds complicated, but it is an easy task, and makes a bigger difference than you think!
Any one of these repairs can be done yourself in about 4 to 6 hours, or a professional should be able to accomplish them in about 2 hours; however you do it, any one, or all of these tasks will go a long way to freshening up your bathroom without costing you a ton of time or money.
