Ballarat sale ready Tip #4 ‘More Dash than Cash’ in the bathroom.

Out-dated bathroom ? a few inexpensive changes such as a large mirror, tapware, & towel rails will make a big difference.

Bathrooms & laundries will be fully inspected by your potential purchaser.

Aim to present your bathrooms as clean, light & airy as possible, paint the walls & ceiling a light colour.

If you think that these areas are lack lustre, consider giving them an inexpensive update.

Tiles can be updated. If your tiles are from a long past fashion, with motifs of shells & mermaids, you could replace them with something neutral. Alternatively, you can paint over them. Use a specialized tile paint, & apply with a roller. Keep the colour a neutral off-white.

Even if your vanity unit is not interesting, a large or glamorous mirror can change the look. Consider changing the tapware to a style that is fashionable & offers a new look.

If your cabinetry has handles, updated handles could look more contemporary.

Tapware for the vanity shower & bath could also be updated to a more contemporary look. Consider items that offer practicality, such as a ledge above a bath, & a soap holder or ledge in the shower.

Also consider changing the towel rails & make them practical. There are some great towel rail ideas available. See the range at Camerons Plumbing, 126 Armstrong St,  Ballarat Central

If floor-coverings are wearing thin, or discoloured, considering laying sheet vinyl over the area.  A change of colour or pattern in the flooring can be a great uplift.

There are a number of outlets in Ballarat that supply & lay sheet vinyl.
