"We hired Hometown Restoration after we had a shower leak throughout our bathroom and into our kitchen. Hometown Restoration came out and completed a thorough evaluation. They removed all affected drywall, repaired some dry rot framing, and treated the entire area with anti-mold spray. They were very professional and completed the job a day ahead of what they projected."
"Excellent Service from planning through Execution and installation to final fine tuning. The folks communicated well and explained every detail of the step. Got permit and inspection done. It was seamless. Thanks. R."
"Darnell from R & r experts took care of everything from start to finish. I did not have to very about the details. His people did an excellent job. Very good quality."
"Purchased coupon on August 11, 2011. Because I was remodeling my kitchen myself after work and weekends, I didn't have time to deal with the creating the room drafts, plans, layouts or measurements she required. I did contact Jill and explain the situation and she was very understanding. She said because I contacted her, not to worry about the deadline. I remained in contact with her over the next few years (that's how long it took me) and when I was ready around the start of 2014, she worked hard to provide her new design. A true professional and great person to work with. The design was spot on and my wife and i were very impressed. Thank you Jill. "
Repair Bathroom Tile questions, answered by experts
Adding another bathroom isn’t the most complicated project you can undertake, but it’s in the top 5%. Anything involving plumbing and electrical work should be handed off to a pro, and adding a half bath involves both. A contractor may charge $70to$120 an hour for labor, but chances are they can work much faster and more accurately than a DIYer.
A wet room is a bathroom that’s covered in tile or other waterproof materials. They have an open shower with a half wall and little to no separation between the shower and tub and other fixtures. Water drains from a wet room through a central drain. The open design of a wet room can make the room feel larger, making the design a popular choice for small bathrooms.
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
Most modern showers have a prefabricated base made from fiberglass or plastic, such as acrylic or polyurethane. Nonetheless, concrete mortar is still the traditional, go-to base for a custom walk-in shower.
You’ll need to add a waterproofing liner or membrane between the layers of mortar to keep moisture out. From there, you can top it with whatever type of tile you like to create a spa-like custom look. Be sure to include these considerations in your budget for the cost of a walk-in shower.
Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.
