This Bonogin bathroom had been stripped right back to the frame. Before any new walls or tiles go on, the structure has to be straight and solid.
I checked and levelled the wall framing with a laser and a long level, so the new linings and tiles will sit flat. On the floor, I tied reinforcing mesh into the slab section around the new floor waste, ready for the concrete.
How I prepare a bathroom for new walls and floors
- Strip back to the frame and check it for rot, damage and movement.
- Straighten and level the framing, packing or replacing studs where needed.
- Add noggins and supports for fittings, vanities and grab rails.
- Prepare the floor section with reinforcing mesh, ready for concrete.
- Keep the site tidy and protected between stages.
