What trades do you need for a bathroom renovation?

12/15/2019

 
It takes a number of experts to complete a bathroom upgrade in Doncaster. Some include a plumber, carpenter, and cabinet maker. Find out exactly what tradies you need and what you need them for in the article below. 

  1. The plumber is responsible for the water management system. Pipes and taps must be installed and connected to the main water supply. The water drainage system is also installed by the plumber, to get rid of the wastewater. Most of the work of a plumber is done inside the walls, ceilings, and floors.
  2. The electrician is a certified professional who is responsible for the electricity network in the bathroom. Lights, heaters, and extractors have to be connected safely to the main electricity network. Wires have to be changed and reconnected according to the new layout of your bathroom.
  3. The glazier takes care of all the glass materials inside the bathroom. Glass has to be cut into the exact measurements for the correct installment. For your own safety, all glass should be installed by a professional.
  4. The carpenter is responsible for all the woodwork. He makes sure all the structures and fixtures are correctly installed. Structures and fixtures will often be customized to fit exactly. Furthermore, all the structures and fixtures have to be waterproof. He will make sure all the materials used inside the bathroom can resist any form of water damage.
  5. The cabinet maker has to make the cabinets custom-made to fit perfectly into your bathroom. Every bathroom has different measurements and forms. He is responsible to fit the cabinet as efficient as possible into the bathroom. It is important to have enough storage options in the bathroom while keeping it spacious inside.
  6. The tiler will place all the tiles smooth and tight into your bathroom. Whether it is on the floor or wall, tiles have to be installed properly to make it waterproof inside. The improper installment of tiles in the bathroom will result in leakages.
  7. The painter will use a special kind of waterproof paint to resist bladder and mold. He knows exactly how to treat the walls and ceiling for an optimal result.

Are there jobs you can do by yourself?
  • Painting can be done by yourself. Unfortunately, it will often end in a mediocre result. Many people regret they have done the painting job by themselves. On top of the bad looks, the risk of bladder and mold is much higher when the painting job is not done by a professional. It requires more knowledge and skill for an outstanding result than most people realize.
  • If you are really handy you might consider doing the tiling, cabinet making, and carpentering by yourself. But for most people, we don't recommend this. A lot of knowledge and skills are needed for a beautiful and functional result.
  • Plumbing and glazing should be done by a professional. Plumbing is a difficult job. Most of the work is done inside the floor, walls, and ceiling. This is the only way to install everything properly. If not done well water damage will cost you more money in the long run. Glazing has to be done with precision and specialized tools. Don't risk improper installment and damage to the expensive glass you just bought. Give it to the pro to be safe.
  • The electricity network should always be done by a professional electrician unless you are a certified electrician yourself. You risk electrocution (especially in combination with water), fire and short-circuiting.

We totally understand you don't want to manage 7 different individual professionals. They are not cooperating as a team, and all their separate bills will add up. Moreover, you don't know how professional and reliable all these different professionals are.
