When it comes to refreshing rooms in our homes, the number one thing both my friends and family dream of is renovating their kitchen or bathroom. For most of us, both of these two-family favourite rooms are also the most expensive to renovate.
When it comes to bathrooms, there are a variety of things you can do to make an old bathroom feel new, look more stylish and breathe freshness into it without breaking the bank with a full-blown renovation. Many of us tend to think that the only solution to a fresh new bathroom is a complete demolition and remodel. Believe it or not, it is very possible to make your old existing bathroom look much better without spending as much as you think.
Here are some simple and affordable ways to upgrade your bathroom and give it a more luxurious look and feel.
8 Things to refresh your bathroom’s look and feel.
1. Luxury products with minimalistic packaging.
Expensive-looking packaging usually means the product you have purchased is in fact expensive. When it comes to toiletries like handwash, soap, shampoos, conditioners, and make-up removers, these items all generally need regular replacement, and the price can quickly add up. Insert Luxury Bathroom Hack – buy the expensive stuff once and once it is empty re-fill those same bottles with the normal stuff you use. Cheeky, but effective when it comes to luxury aesthetics.
2. Update your bathtub.
Baths are generally a big focal point when it comes to your bathroom's visual appeal, being one of the larger items taking up a lot of space. You can refresh your bathroom by updating your bathtub. This doesn’t always mean buying a new one, although a popular choice. You can also opt for a bathtub refinishing option; this means you can refresh the look of your existing bath with restoration.

3. Refresh your walls.
There is nothing like a fresh coat of paint to dramatically change the look and feel of any room in your home. A wall refresh with a coat of paint is instant, but if you set aside a weekend you can address any peeling window sills with sand, undercoat and a fresh coat of paint that contains a mould-inhibitor to protect against mildew stains and future decay.
4. Update your shower screen.
An updated shower screen can really change the feel of your bathroom space depending on what kind of shower screen you decide to go with. You have a selection of frameless, semi-frameless and framed shower screens.
Your shower safety is our number one priority. A faulty shower screen could be broken or damaged glass, it could be your screen keeps slipping off its rails, or it could be your shower screen's hinges keep jamming. No matter what the problem is, the danger is you never know when your faulty or damaged shower screen might just dislodge, smash or hurt somebody.
At Bespoke Shower Repairs we handle every shower screen repair or replacement with great care, always using professional equipment and providing workmanship we’re proud of.
5. New grout.
Do you want to maintain the original beauty and brightness of your bathroom tiles? A clean bathroom looks great, especially if selling your property is on the cards. If you have decided to sell, removing all existing shower tiles might not be the best solution for you.
The professional team at Bespoke Shower Repair can help restore your bathroom to its former tiling glory with the regrout of your existing floor, walls and shower tiles instead. The process involves the removal of the old damaged grout and the replacement of a new grout product. This option provides a cost-effective and fast fix at a fraction of the cost of a complete bathroom retile. You can update the colour of your new grout to give your bathroom a whole new fresh look, one that matches your personal taste. There are 19 Grout colour selections for you to choose from.
6. Modernise your fixtures and fittings.
Update tapware and shower heads will give your bathroom an up-to-date look without too much effort. When choosing your new bathroom fittings, think about how they will complement the rest of the features of your bathroom such as the tiles and existing or updated colour scheme. Popular matte black tapware can add a stylish and contemporary, high-end finish to your space and look stunning against the right tiling.
7. Deep clean & repair anything damaged.
A deep clean always gets rid of old energy and prepares for the new changes about to come. Start with a big bucket of warm soapy water with a dash of either peppermint or eucalyptus oil. Thoroughly mop down all your floor tiles, including under and around your fixtures and into corners and don’t forget around and behind the loo. Anything that is loose or damaged, simply replace.
8. Add greenery.
Bathroom plants are a simple thing we can do to add warmth, comfort and style instantly to our bathrooms. Plants do absolute wonders when it comes to reviving an old-looking bathroom by breathing fresh life into the space (literally). Bathroom plants also add interest and visual appeal. Opt for low-maintenance indoor plants with maximum foliage for the best effect. You can hang them from the ceiling, place them on a shelf or on top of the cabinetry, they will add a stunning pop of colour too!
In conclusion, depending on what state your bathroom is currently in, you can pick a few of these things or perhaps you could even do them all. One tip the Bespoke Shower Repairs team would recommend to everyone is to do is to replace your existing grout – this will make a significant difference and go a long way to transforming your old bathroom into a beautiful, clean, inviting space.
