#LISTING OF ALL THINGS DONE IN BATHROOM UPDATE#

Whether you’re looking to renovate or update your master bathroom or powder room, we’ve got you covered with our list of essential things to put in a washroom so you can optimize your space and turn it into an inviting oasis, while you do your, errrr business. Keep in mind there are a million reasons you'll need to deviate from this schedule but essentially your just trying to keep from burying areas you still need to work on and keeping the mess from one task off the other areas if possible.When you consider how much time we spend in there every day, it’s clear the bathroom is one of the most important rooms in your home. Pour your wife a bubble bath so she can enjoy the new bathroom, by this point you'll probably need some brownie points.

caulking, nail heads in the trim, that sort of thing.īubble bath. This includes outlet receptacles, light switches, fans, anything that bolts on. Or substitute for whatever floor covering you've chosen.įixtures/Cabinets/Trim. Pretty self explanatory just try to work from the ceiling down.

The variable is if you need to do any concrete work (floor leveling, shower pan, etc) do that before the drywall. Time to put down your subfloor, hang your drywall, and set your wall tile underlayment if applicable in that order. If you're going to pull permits now is the time to call your inspector (actually that time was a couple weeks ago but this is your last chance).

Rough in plumbing, electrical, anything that gets covered by drywall. To this you can add laying subfloor if there's nothing running through the floor. Reframe anything that needs it, add studs and blocking for grab bars etc. There might be mold, missing substructure (I once opened a floor that had no joists, NO joists!) basically you need to fix the unknown unknowns before you can move forward.įraming (if any). In a bid I like to add to this step a process I call 'Getting back to Zero' which is the process of fixing all the stuff you didn't know was wrong before you opened the walls. Tear out everything that's going, open all the walls that need to be touched, etc. I once had to wait 6 weeks for a Jacuzzi tub which was a problem since I had already torn some poor guy's bathroom down to the studs.ĭemo. Actually 9 and a half: before step one make sure to order all of your parts/pieces that can't be had locally. In the most general terms a remodel has 9 steps. You can plan it out all you want but once you get into the thick of it the plan often has to change. Well there's the way it's supposed to go and then there's the way it usually goes.

Install any kind of glass enclosure/doors/panels for shower/tub if needed.

Install Toilet - you can do this much sooner if you need a place to go but I leave it close to last because I have chipped a few toilets, dropping whatever.

Put up mirror, medicine cabinet, shower trim, all that stuff.

Install vanity, hook up sink to drain, install faucet.

Install lighting, cap off the rest of the electric.

I would redgard the shower area after priming the other walls if it needs it. Backerboard and drywall should be done at same time because they need to meet at pretty much the same depth. Also if you are tiling shower - then hang your backboard and waterproofing at this point. Also try to plan your toilet across two tiles if using large tiles. Get most of your cuts hidden under the vanity. But I will say the easier - and it looks good too - way to do it is to start opposite your vanity wall. Everyone has their opinion on aesthetics. For instance you don't backer board under a shower pan - but would for tile in rest of the room. Different needs and the rest of the floor probably has to match up with the next room. Your tub/shower subfloor is a different world.

Do the rest of your subfloor if needed.

Also if you have venting that runs to fans I would do this here. If you have a vanity with drawers sometimes your exit plumbing hangs to one side or your faucet water needs to come from the middle. For instance with taller vanity you might need to bump the GFCIs up a few inches too. It is important to know the height of new vanity, height of backsplash pieces and other things so that electric/plumbing considerations can be taken.

Make sure that you have bought vanity and any other fixed pieces (mirrors/medicine cabinets/whatever) for the bathroom at this point.

Do exit plumbing and install tub/shower.

Start with the subfloor for the tub/shower area.Make sure framing fits your choice of tub/shower.You don't want to have to find something that fits exactly what you need - unless you plan on making your own cement based pan. You start with your shower pan and/or tub in the bathroom.

You don't always have to do things in a certain order but I can tell you generally how to do things the easiest. I have done quite a few bathrooms from start to finish.
