I’m sure most of you will agree when I say the best thing in the world is to have a long hot water shower at the end of the day. Bathrooms are as important as any other part of a home. It should be a go-to place to relax after a long day, so you can get into a zen mode.

However, bathrooms are also very busy and are prone to wear and tear, so its importance to have that balance between practicality and ambience.

If you are looking to achieve just that by renovating your bathroom, you are probably wondering where to begin, how to go about the process and thinking how much of an inconvenience it’s going to be. 

Getting your bathroom renovated can be a stress-free process if you go about it the right way and get the right people to do the job.

Us Kiwis love a good DIY job. Our ability to innovate is world-renowned, and on any given sunny weekend you’ll find us sprucing up our homes with a fresh lick of paint, knocking up a garden shed, or upcycling some old furniture.

So if there’s water dripping out from under the sink, or the toilet’s backed up, or something’s bubbling up in our backyard, it’s tempting to think that we can fix it, armed with a little elbow-grease and a can-do attitude. That’s what number 8 wire was invented for right? And we end up saving money?
