Today we will share with you tips on how to make quality bathroom repair with your own hands. To begin with, we will analyze the 5 main mistakes that are most often made during repair work, so as not to provoke new repairs in the future.

Repair errors

1. Lack of proper waterproofing. During rough work in the bathroom, it is necessary to waterproof all wet areas in the apartment. If suddenly you forgot about roll waterproofing, then you can treat the surface with a liquid hydrophobic composition before laying granite.
   
   
   
   
2. Covering the hood. The lack of hood leads to the fact that the spent moist air can not leave the room, which in the bathroom will appear fungus and mold. Sometimes the owners of the apartment block the hood for fear that insects will get into the house through it. This cannot be done categorically!
   
   
   
   To prevent the appearance of insects and ensure normal air circulation in the bathroom, simply install a grid for communication, and on the sleeve of the ventilation channel - a forced fan with a return valve: it will help prevent unnecessary odors in the apartment and will be able to remove waste moist air in a short time.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Buried pipes. Recently, it has become fashionable to hide engineering communications. Many forget about the likelihood of deterioration of their performance and the need for repair in the future. Do not hide communications (especially the connection places) in the walls - it is much more rational to close the pipes with furniture or build a box for them from moisture-resistant HCL.
   
   
   
   
4. Excessive savings. Of course, there is nothing wrong with reasonable savings. Sometimes you need to deny yourself excesses that require a lot of money. But, since you are starting repairs, be prepared to spend on quality materials that will ensure the reliability of the work done.
   
   
   
   For example, stretch ceilings are not the best solution for a residential apartment. Between the stretch ceiling and the upper floor slab will collect dampness, which will lead to the imminent appearance of black mold. Surfaces should “breathe”, so you do not need to save money and use a special moisture-resistant GCL for ceilings.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Cement grout. Cement grouts are not strong enough to use to seal the seams in the bathroom. They have a tendency to wash out and are subject to deep pollution. In the bathroom, it is best to use a two-component epoxy grout.
