When Do You Need An Adelaide Bathroom Renovations Contractor?

Do you need to remodel your bathroom? If so, why? Many facilities that have been around for a while show signs of wear and tear. Some are still fine, but the design is already old. These two are not the only reasons you might need a bathroom renovation in Adelaide—there are other reasons.

Today, we at Australian Construction will share several reasons why you need to remodel your bathroom. We will also tell you how to choose a contractor if you ever decide to take on a project like this.

1. Increase the property value

Whether it is a home or a commercial facility, buyers and people who would like to rent space are going to include the bathroom with how they value the establishment.

You see, an unkempt and stinking bathroom is an indication that the house or facility is not managed right. A bad bathroom is a bad sign—it tells buyers and renters that there are more underlying problems in the building.

Why is this?

If you could not clean your bathroom, how else could you have the time and money to maintain other parts of the facility? If the bathroom is so bad, people may consider buying your property or rent it, but there is no way they will pay a premium price.

They know that they are going to have to spend a lot of money on remodelling efforts. As such, they want to get the property at the lowest value possible.

The bathroom will always look old. People do their private stuff here, and it is not unusual for corners of tiles to be yellow. Some will lose their sheen, and there could also be moulds. If you want to increase the value of your property, you have to call an Adelaide bathroom renovations expert to fix the bathroom.  

2. Plumbing is broken

Another reason why you have to remodel your bathroom is that the plumbing does not work. If your pipes are clogged or if your toilets do not flush, it is time to remodel your bathroom.

Apart from the grossness of it, pipes that are badly worn out, or pipes that do not work, can cause health problems. Pipes are supposed to drop all dirt and water into your septic tank. It has to be sealed. If not, waste will creep through the leaks and the bacteria will find their way into your facility.

For small problems, a solo plumber or contractor may be able to fix it. But if the problem keeps coming back, you have to consider remodelling.

We at Australian Construction should be your primary choice for bathroom remodelling. We do not only specialise in the execution of architectural and interior design, but we also specialise in plumbing, waterproofing, demolition, and so much more.

3. The bathroom is not safe

A bathroom has to be safe. Whether it is a bathroom in the house, in the gym, office, or a commercial facility like a mall, people who use it should be free from hazards.

Like what?

For example, some tiles used on bathroom floors are slippery. This problem occurs when the home-owner or facility corporate owners insisted on using flooring that is not safe. It can also happen if the construction contractors did not know that what they chose was an unsafe tile.

Other problems include electrical wirings, dangerously placed doors on cubicles, and many other things. If you have any hazard in your bathroom, you have to seriously consider a renovation. Otherwise, you may get sued if a bad incident takes place.  

4. Make the bathroom efficient

Technology changes. Over the years, we have developed new ways to make things more efficient. One good example is the technology that allows us to conserve water and electricity.

If your bathroom is already decades old, you have to change your fixtures. Today, there are many options for toilets and taps that have a sensor. They flush on their own. The tap will also shut down if no hand is under it. These things will help you save water. There are also urinals that do not need flushing at all.

On the issue of power, you can use modern light fixtures that only turn on if there is someone moving in the room. These lights are often put in office boardrooms because people forget to turn off the lights after using the room.

Waterproof the bathroom

One thing last reason for you to remodel your bathroom is to waterproof it. If your bathroom is not waterproof, the water will leak to the tenants below. Problems like these are not uncommon in multi-storey commercial facilities.

Also, if the walls are not waterproofed, bacteria will find their way inside the walls and crevices. The moisture is also an open invitation for moulds to live in there. Although not all moulds are harmful to human health, but some moulds that can make people sick.

If your bathroom is showing signs of not being waterproof, you have to act now. Give us a call at Australian Construction and we will take a look. The best thing to do is to inspect the walls and the tiles. Sometimes, you do not need a complete renovation project, and all you need is a minor repair.
