1. Start with Accurate Measurements
Before you fall in love with that freestanding bath or walk-in shower, measure your bathroom carefully. Note the locations of your plumbing, electrical outlets, and windows. These measurements will help you understand what’s possible in your space and prevent costly mistakes later.
Pro tip: Bring your measurements to our showroom at Unit 6 Blackstaff Way. We can help you visualise different layouts and suggest products that will work perfectly in your space.
2. Set a Realistic Budget
Bathroom renovations vary widely in cost. A basic refresh with new fixtures might cost a few thousand pounds, while a complete renovation with high-end finishes can be significantly more. Be honest about what you can afford, and remember to set aside 10-15% for unexpected issues.
At M1 Bathrooms, we work with budgets of all sizes. Whether you’re after a luxury spa-like bathroom or a practical family bathroom, we can help you get the best value for your money.
3. Consider PVC Wall Panels
Tiling isn’t your only option anymore. PVC wall panels offer a modern, low-maintenance alternative that’s perfect for Belfast homes. They’re:
Waterproof and mould-resistant – ideal for our damp climate
Quick to install – less disruption to your home
Easy to clean – no grout lines to scrub
Cost-effective – great value compared to tiling
Stylish – available in marble, stone, and tile effects
We’ve installed PVC panels in hundreds of Belfast bathrooms, and customers love how easy they are to maintain.
4. Think About Storage
One of the most common regrets people have after a bathroom renovation is not including enough storage. Think about where you’ll keep toiletries, towels, cleaning supplies, and other bathroom essentials.
