Renovating more than one bathroom at the same time
Renovating multiple bathrooms can be difficult and stressful, considering you can’t use them until the project is finished. A typical bathroom renovation will take between 3 to 4 weeks which might seems like a short time for tradesmen however, it is a very long time for you when you are waiting to use your own shower. If you have two bathrooms that you are looking at renovating at the same time but you are wondering how it can be pulled off easily, then you are in the right place.
In this article, we’re going to explain how it’s possible to renovate all your bathrooms at the same time and why you would want to consider that in the first place.
To get started, it helps to understand how to estimate bathroom renovation cost.
Project pricing
Most tradesmen prefer to charge per project than per hourly rate. This means they need to be good at estimating how much time a project will take, considering factors such as how far the project is from their home and their other projects, as well as how many full days and partial days they will need to spend there.
Since there is much less travel time and some added teamwork when doing multiple bathrooms at the same time, they will be able to charge a little bit less for 2+ bathrooms than they would if the projects were separate.
We offer a $1500 discount if you renovate multiple bathrooms with us. To learn more about that promotion, get in touch.
One bathroom normally takes 4 weeks to complete, but two bathrooms can also be completed in the same amount of time. That will save you about a month if you decide to renovate at the same time. Obviously the benefits are quite attractive as you get to save money and months of stress. Plus, don’t forget about how great it’s going to feel when you finally get ready and shower in your beautiful new bathrooms.
Okay, so now it’s time for you to understand what you are getting yourself into.
Challenging factors to consider when renovating multiple bathrooms
If you want to renovate all of your bathrooms at the same time, there will be some challenges that you will face however, they can be managed with the right planning. Some people prefer to stay in their home during the renovation, but while this is the least expensive option, it is not the recommended one.
If your budget allows you, you’re better off staying in a hotel until your bathrooms are completed. Just keep in mind that there might be delays with your project so you will need to stay longer which will add to your expense. It’s always good to set aside some extra money in case of any unexpected costs.
Consider that the extra cost of moving out can be almost the same of the savings in time and money by renovating more than one bathroom at the same time.
If you can’t justify the extra costs, and you have great relationships with your extended family and relatives, you can ask to stay over theirs for the days to use their bathrooms. Another solution could be researching public places around your place such as gyms and shopping centres, to use their amenities until your project is finished. Make sure to check their operating hours.
By addressing the above, it doesn’t mean those are the only available solutions to renovate more than one bathroom at once as each client’s case is different and each house’s layout is as well.
