Fast fixes for BATHROOMS
Follow these easy update ideas from the experts at Victoria Plum
If your bathroom is in need of a boost but your budget won’t stretch to a complete overhaul, there are plenty of low-cost easy switches that can soon fix that. Start by deciding which parts of your bathroom need the most attention, advise the experts at Victoria Plum. If you’re short on time or budget, focusing on just a few key improvements can still make a huge difference.
Trade up taps
Give bathrooms a new lease of life by replacing fittings. Just switching out bath and basin taps can transform the space instantly for minimum effort. Black taps against a classic white basin give modern monochrome vibes, or for timeless style, try elegant antique bronze fittings.
Transform tiles
It’s amazing how much difference new tiles can make to the look of a bathroom. Consider refreshing just a small area such as the basin splashback – classic metro tiles are available in a wide choice of colours and make it easy to get creative.
Perk up with paint
If tiles are looking tatty but you don’t have the budget to replace, why not try painting them? Specialist tile paints come in a variety of colours and will rejuvenate tiles. Tired bathroom furniture can easily be upcycled with paint too.

Organise storage
Clearing the clutter is a speedy way to refresh your bathroom space. Whether a wall-hung vanity unit or slimline freestanding cabinet, there are plenty of small-space storage solutions that will ensure there’s a home for everything.
Refresh sealant
Mouldy sealant and broken shower screen seals can make a bathroom feel unloved. Running fresh sealant around baths and sinks is an easy fix that takes minutes but makes a big improvement to your bathroom.
