____________________________

We take on a budget bathroom renovation as an alternative to our earlier £20k luxury project. This makeover came in at just £3,200 in materials, excluding labour, and still included underfloor heating, wall alterations, and stylish tiling.

Along the way we share DIY tips like dry-fitting tiles, levelling with clamps, and salvaging existing fixtures. The whole job took 10 days, with labour costs ranging from £1,500 to £5,000 depending on where you live.

With material prices rising fast (up 15% since filming), we invite you to share your thoughts — could this bathroom have been done even cheaper?
