Renovating your bathroom is about more than just picking out new tiles and paint. It’s about making sure your plumbing is working as well as it can be. If you’re ready to give your bathroom a facelift, our team at Garcia Plumbing and Gas is able to assist with everything you need.
Before getting started, let’s break down what you should be on the lookout for when building the bathroom of your dreams.
Assess Your Current Plumbing System
It’s crucial to evaluate your existing plumbing system right from the beginning. Older homes in Wellington might have outdated pipes that need replacing. Our crew can conduct a thorough assessment to identify any potential issues – such as corroded pipes or inadequate water pressure – which could impact your renovation plans.
It’s better to catch these issues early on, instead of after you’ve already started your project.
Plan for Your Future Needs
Think about your long-term needs. Are you planning a family and need a bath? Or are you looking to create a luxurious, spa-like retreat? Your plumbing decisions should align with these goals. We can help design a bathroom that not only meets your current requirements but is also able to grow with your lifestyle.
Choose the Right Fixtures
Selecting the right fixtures has as much to do with functionality as it does with looks. Water-efficient toilets, low-flow showerheads, and taps can significantly reduce your water usage – not to mention protect the planet. At Garcia Plumbing and Gas, we offer a range of eco-friendly options that don’t compromise on performance or design.
Consider the Placement
The placement of your fixtures is key. You need to consider the existing plumbing and how changes might affect your renovation. Sometimes, relocating a toilet or a shower can be a major task, involving significant plumbing alterations. Our team can provide expert advice on the most cost-effective and practical layout for your new bathroom.
Think About Heating and Ventilation
Wellington’s weather can be unpredictable, making bathroom heating and ventilation important. Heated towel rails, underfloor heating, and efficient ventilation systems can add comfort and prevent the build-up of moisture, which is crucial in preventing mold and mildew. We can suggest the best options for your space and budget.
Compliance and Permits
Navigating building codes and permits can be daunting. but it can sometimes be required if additional fixtures are added or moved. At Garcia Plumbing and Gas, we make sure that all work complies with the New Zealand Building Code and local council regulations, providing peace of mind that your renovation is not only beautiful but also legal and safe.
Budgeting for the Unexpected
Finally, it’s important to budget for unexpected issues. Renovations can sometimes uncover hidden problems like water damage or outdated wiring. We recommend setting aside a portion of your budget to cover any unforeseen expenses.
