Many people look at plumbing the same way that they look at
electrics, both are tasks that are best left to a qualified
professional. In many cases this may be true but there are certain jobs
that you could attempt yourself if you are prepared to do a bit of
research and put a little bit of time aside to complete the job. One
such job that you can attempt yourself is re-plumbing your Bathroom Rebuilding, remodelling, installation and renovations in South Africa.
Re-plumbing an existing bathroom is a much easier job that people think as all you are doing is replacing old pipe work so it is as simple as re-tracing the route of the old pipe work with newer pipe. As long as your water supply to the bathroom remains turned off there is very little that you can get wrong if you double check each joint and fitting before you turn the water back on.
Decide where you want the new pipe work to start from if you are only replacing the pipes in the bathroom and remove each section as you go and replace as you remove. Bear in mind the more joints that you make the more chance you will have of having a leak so keep the joints to a minimum. Long stretches of pipe work are better.
Complete a run of pipe work to each fixture before attempting to start another fixture and by means of blanking caps you can test each fixture individually for leaks, this is much easier than testing all fixtures together and having multiple leaks to fix.
By following these simple steps you should be able to save yourself some money and also learn some new skills.
A bathroom is a very difficult room to improve the look of without investing a fair bit of money and replacing some of the older fixtures with newer versions but it is possible to make a few subtle changes that will make a refreshing change to your bathroom without costing the earth. One such thing that you can do to improve the look of your bathroom is change the flooring but in the form of a bathroom mat or rug. All bathrooms should have a bathroom mat or rug except perhaps with the exception of a wet room. A bathroom mat is a functional addition to your bathroom as well as helping to improve the look of the room. When you step out of the bath or shower with wet feet it is much safer to step onto a mat that a slippery floor surface.
Cotton tassel bathroom mats are the most popular style available but there are also other types that are on the market. Bamboo fibre bathroom mats are gaining in popularity now as they are a more environmentally friendly alternative to cotton and the fibres also offer anti bacterial qualities, which is very handy in a bathroom.
If you have a wet room and you really want a bathroom mat you may want to go for a hardwood bathroom slab which will stay mould free and be able to withstand the worst that a bathroom renovation and bathroom remodel south africa can throw at it. A hardwood bathroom slab is quite cheap and looks really nice in the right bathroom.
