The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in the house and paradoxically, its renovation can represent a considerable investment. Fortunately, there are many tips to transform this space without breaking your budget. At L'Entrepôt de la Réno, we specialize in solutions that combine quality and savings. Discover our tips for renovating your bathroom at a lower cost.

Establish a realistic plan and budget

The first step in any economic renovation is to carefully plan your project. Define your priorities: which elements must absolutely be replaced and which can simply be refreshed? Establish a precise budget including a margin for unforeseen expenses (about 10% of the total budget).
Also consider staggering the work if necessary. A phased renovation allows you to spread the expenses over time while gradually enjoying the improvements.

Preserve the existing plumbing

One of the most expensive items in renovating a bathroom is relocating plumbing fixtures. Keeping your sink, toilet, and shower/tub in their current locations will save you significant expenses in plumbing and masonry work.
If your current setup is working well, focus on replacing or upgrading the equipment rather than relocating it.

Opt for economical and practical wall coverings

To quickly transform the appearance of your bathroom, PVC shower walls are an economical alternative to traditional tiling. Particularly recommended in their 10mm version for optimal durability, these panels are easy to install, even by amateur DIYers.
For walls outside the shower area, special bathroom paint is the most economical option. Choose light shades that visually enlarge the space and opt for moisture-resistant formulations that will withstand the specific conditions of this room.

Renovate rather than replace

Before throwing away your old bathtub or sink, consider renovating them. Resurfacing kits allow you to give a second life to a dull or slightly damaged bathtub for a fraction of the cost of a replacement.
Similarly, a vanity can be transformed with a simple coat of paint and new knobs or handles. These small changes have a significant visual impact for minimal cost.

Favor accessories to refresh the space

Sometimes, it's the little details that make all the difference. New accessories can transform the look of your bathroom without requiring major renovations:
Change your shower curtain for a trendy model
Install a new mirror or frame the one you already have.
Replace the towel racks and other metal accessories
Add open shelves for storage and decoration
These relatively inexpensive elements significantly contribute to the overall appearance of the room.

Bet on good lighting

A well-thought-out lighting can radically transform a bathroom without requiring large investments. Replace your old sconces with energy-efficient LED models and favor multi-level lighting: ceiling lights for general illumination, sconces on either side of the mirror for functional lighting.
If your budget allows, installing waterproof recessed lights will add a contemporary touch while optimizing the lighting.

Take advantage of sales and promotions

At the Réno Warehouse, we regularly offer promotions on bathroom products. Plan your purchases around these offers to maximize your savings. Don't hesitate to ask if clearance items or display models are available – these products are often offered at very advantageous prices. Did you know that our prices are generally up to 50% lower than those of our competitors? This significant difference allows you to save even more on your renovation project.
For certain equipment like faucets, do not overlook lesser-known brands that often offer excellent value for money.

Do some work yourself

If you are handy, doing some work yourself can represent substantial savings. Installing PVC wall coverings, painting, or installing accessories are tasks accessible to motivated amateurs.
At the Réno Warehouse, our advisors will be happy to guide you in choosing the right materials and provide you with practical advice to successfully complete your installation.

Focus the budget on essential items

Identify the elements that deserve a greater investment. For example, quality fixtures or a reliable shower are components that must withstand daily use for many years. Instead, save on decorative items or those that are easily replaceable.

Think long term

An economical renovation does not necessarily mean choosing the cheapest options. Prioritize durable materials that will save you costly repairs in the medium term. For example, investing in 10mm thick PVC shower walls rather than thinner models will ensure superior durability.
Similarly, water-saving fixtures (low-flow faucets, dual-flush toilets) represent an investment that will be recouped through the savings made on your bills.
