Let’s consider bathrooms. They, alongside kitchens, are the most-neglected rooms within our homes. Why? The cost of remodelling a bathroom can be huge. However, you don’t have to remodel your entire bathroom to ensure that your home becomes a viable selling option.
There are some great DIY tips here to make sure that your home sells with ease, starting with the bathroom.
Painting is Your New Best Friend
Painting the bathroom is not a difficult task. In fact, as one of the smaller rooms within the home, it is an easy task to undertake. If you have tired looking paint work, you need to daub the walls. Neutrality is the key. White looks crisp and clean in the bathroom. Get out the gloss and make sure the woodwork is up to scratch too. Paint the doors in a thick gloss and replace the handles if necessary. Stick to clean chrome finish. Not only is this trendy, but it looks good too. This will give your bathroom a brand new feel. What is more, prospective buyers will see your bathroom as a fresh room.
Check for DIY Mishaps
Estate agents in Cannock have noted that DIY mishaps are the biggest hindrance to selling a home. This means that if you have not laid the sealant properly, or you have frayed light pulls, people will be turned off. In order to make sure your home is a good candidate for re-sell, take a look at these mishaps and correct them. Sealant is inexpensive and easy to use if you take your time. Frayed light pulls can be replaced cheaply too. You should fix a wonky toilet seat. In short, take a look at the bathroom and see what needs fixing immediately.
Keep it Clean
Is your bathroom clean and functional? Chances are that you clean your bathroom on a weekly basis. No one wants a dirty washing area. But, take a closer look at the tiles and sealant. Is the grouting looking tired and grey? Could the tiles do with an extra scrub to bring them back to life? Does the shower screen need replacing? While these jobs are small to undertake, they will play a big part in the sale of your home. A dirty, dank looking bathroom is unappealing to prospective buyers.
Re-grout the tiles as a matter of urgency. This will guarantee that your home doesn’t languish on the property market for a long time. You want your house to sell quickly.
Selling your home can be tough. You need to focus on one room at a time, so you don’t become overwhelmed. Start with the bathroom and make sure that your home is a possible prospect for candidates.
