Tile shopping is an enjoyable part of a bathroom renovation. Before placing an order, decide what is being changed and what is staying.
List the current problems and the improvements you want. Include storage, lighting, ventilation, and how the room will be used while the work is under way.
Get the scope clear
Ask the contractor to explain the work behind the visible finishes, including preparation and the proposed approach to wet areas. Product choices and installation need to work together.
If fixtures are moving, ask what that changes in the work and price. Keep the agreed layout with the estimate so everyone is referring to the same arrangement.
Confirm selections before ordering
Check the sizes and specifications of the vanity, bath or shower fittings, toilet, and tiles. Ask who measures and orders each item and who checks deliveries.
Plan how you’ll manage without the bathroom, especially if it is the only one in the home. A clear plan for the work and the household makes the project easier to follow than a collection of approved finishes with the practical questions left open.
