Bathroom Remodel Hacks

Trying to combine remodeling a bathroom on a budget can seem like the impossible, but really it all comes down to hacks and DIY projects. A full bathroom gut job sometimes just is not in the budget, so DIY projects become your best friend. Here are some DIY tips that will help you create a bathroom you’re proud of on a budget that won’t break your piggy bank.

Cover the tub
Is your bathtub an embarrassing part of your home? If so there\’s plenty of things you can do to upgrade it on a budget, and ripping out the tub isn’t one of them. Ripping out the entire tub and starting over means ripping out the flooring that surrounds it, which leads to more money gone. One of the simplest updates is getting a liner for it. Custom tub liners require exact measurements and can be a little more expensive than those liners that are pre-made and typically run less than $200 at Home Depot.
