Hi, I’m remodeling my bathroom.What I wonder is where can I get a good looking bathroom cabinet as well a glass vessel except in HOMEDEPOT. I went to a store in Oakland. It’s called Sincere.
They don’t have anything what I want. Does anybody have an idea?
Give me the address or the website.
BTW: I’m live in Bay area ,California

I’m remodeling a bathroom. The contracter specified cultured marble. I see that Consumer Reports gives engineered stone the highest rating for bathroom countertops. So is what I’m getting an engineered stone, or not?

I would like something more durable than plywood. I am thinking of something like recycled plastic or concrete composite flooring.

This is a complete remodeling of the bathroom, which includes moving a wall. I have had a lot of bad experiences with water and would like something very strong and very waterproof.

Please advise ? My past searches for products and techniques have not turned up much that was useful.

Any good home remodeling calculators?

I’m looking for web sites that have calculators that will help me estimate the costs of a bathroom and kitchen remodel. Any good sites out there?
Note: I’m not looking for software to buy… just web sites.

Everything would have to be redone, floors, walls, new tub, new sink, probably some plumbing fixed or replaced. Its not a huge bathroom, but a full-sized one, maybe 8×5 or close to that. Also, I wanted a lot of black tile, is there colored grout so that I wouldn’t have to put in the white/grayish grout?

We are semi-remodeling our bathroom. It’s very small, with a sink, toilet and tub/shower. There is also a large cabinet hanging on the wall that we are removing to make the room seem larger. We want to replace the cabinet with a shelf that doubles as a towel rack (although I’m a little worried because the studs are off centered and I’m afraid that hanging a shelf is going to be a problem). Anyway…what are some ways to make the space seem larger? We’re keeping the configuration the same.

i just had my bathroom remodeled a month ago, but i think i need to re-grout some areas around my bathub so that water soes not go into the walls.

how do i grout those lightly grouted areas by myself??

i know i have to go to home depot and buy a small tub of matching color grout. but what else do i need? i metal scraper thingy??

and then how do i grout it myself?

or do i just buy some of that special tape to tape around the bathub area instead of the grout?

what is the best way to do it myself? thank you!!!!!!!!!
i have marble tiles by the way.

the caulking sounds interesting espceially the silicone one cause i need something that will keep water out of the walls.

thank you!!

Is this bathroom remodel estimate high?

My husband and I are looking to gut and replace our bathroom. It is currently very dated and requires a little plumbing updating. Part of the gutting will be removing an existing linen closet and a built-in vanity and a built-in hamper. The room is 6 by 9 feet with a standard-sized shower/tub insert. We plan on getting standard-grade replacement tub, shower insert, toilet, and vanity. Aside from some plumbing updating, there is no structural issues or any "catches".
We live near Boston, Ma. Our estimates for this project so far have been ,500 and ,700. Do these estimates sound high? We would like to do this ourselves (as we usually do everything ourselves) but we are expecting a baby very soon and we don’t have the time or ability to do it ourselves right now.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I need some help finding some bathroom wall paneling?

I am going to be remodeling my bathroom and am looking to order some bathroom wall paneling. I’m sure I will need something that can hold up the high moisture. Is there anywhere online I can look at different styles and colors and be able to purchase it right there. Any one have any help?

We are remodeling the bathroom and removed the light fixture over the vanity. Now the outlets on either side of the vanity don’t work, and no power is getting to the wires sticking out of the wall where the light fixture used to be. None of the breakers tripped, but I flipped them all off and back on again just to be sure.

So what could have happened? Did something come loose behind the wall?

    Remodeling a bathroom?

    I’m making a spare bedroom into a bathroom and i was wondering if i can just put the cement board around my tub shower, or do i have to put it on all walls in the bathroom?

    I am buying materials for the shower pan and all the other things I need but am not sure what thickness of cement board to use for the shower walls. I am covering it with tile, if that matters. Thanks
