DIY bathroom remodeling projects can be a great way to add value to your home, with the struggling economy people are less likely to move and more likely to remodel and repair the house they currently own. The first thing you need to do is determine a step by step process you are going to take in fixing up your bathroom. If you have a second bathroom you can gut the bathroom you are remodeling without having to worry about not having a place to shower or use the restroom.
After gutting your bathroom, look around for any mold or mildew. For small spots you can usually kill it with a bleach/water solution. If it is a large amount the drywall should be removed, and if it is on the wood it should be scraped off (while wearing proper safety equipment) and cleaned with the bleach/water solution.

Plan for all the material needed for phase one of the re-build. Make a small scaled diagram and go to your local home improvement store and pick out and purchase all required materials.
After this, you are ready to start the construction on the space . Once everything is back together you can then pick out your bathroom design items such as paint colors, shelves, fixtures and bathroom furniture. This also includes bathroom area rugs, toilet skirts and tank covers.
You can save a significant amount of money if you buy your bathroom accessories and fixtures online, there are endless amounts of choices and you can get some great deals. I bought everything except my elongated toilet online, the toilet was an important piece in my bathroom and I wanted to ensure everything was perfect with it so I bought it locally.
After you project is finished you should evaluate the project and make notes of where you may have went wrong so the next time you remodel you don’t make the same mistakes.
You should also take pictures for insurance reasons in the event of fire or natural disaster. That way you have records of the bathroom remodel and the associated costs for replacement value.
