The Pros of a Modular Bathroom

The fast-paced lifestyle of the last few years has probably influenced you to seek products that will make your life easier and allow you to do things faster and more efficiently. However, if you’re renovating or extending your home, it’s hard to rush things, or you risk getting a shoddy job.

Good thing there’s a quick and easy solution if you’re looking to improve your home with an additional bathroom – the modular bathroom.

What’s a modular bathroom?

A modular bathroom is a bathroom that was prefabricated or assembled at the factory. They are then shipped out in flat packs to be assembled on-site or as an assembled unit that is ready for a quick installation. Modular bathrooms already have everything you need in a standard bathroom, including all the fixtures and fittings. Once the bathroom is delivered and assembled in your home, it only needs some basic plumbing and electrical work, and it’s already good to go; no more tiling, painting, or waterproofing is needed.

What are the benefits of a modular bathroom?

Range of choices

If you think that modular bathrooms are bland and only come in standard designs, think again. Many modular bathroom manufacturers have a wide range of choices for homeowners. You can opt for a sink and toilet-only bathroom if you already have a large master bathroom and only need an additional toilet for your expanding family. If you’re extending and need an ensuite, you can have a large bathroom equipped with a toilet, vanity, shower, and bathtub. You also get a huge selection when it comes to fittings, so you don’t have to worry about having the exact same bathroom as your next-door neighbour.

Ease of installation

If you have a regular bathroom installed, you’ll probably need at least four specific contractors to do the tiling, plumbing, electrical, and installation of fixtures and fittings. You might even need more services such as painting and waterproofing. With a modular bathroom, you’ll only need the services of a plumber, electrician, and your local handyman to finish the job. If you’re a seasoned DIYer, you might even be able to set up the bathroom yourself.

Time and money savings

When you save time, you often also save money. Since modular bathrooms are more affordable and easier to install than regular bathrooms, it can save you a lot of time and money. With fast installation (around two or three hours for units that come fully assembled), these modular bathrooms make use of much less on-site resources and cause minimal disruptions to your daily life.

When you’re ordering your modular bathroom, be very specific with your floor plan, size needed, and other requirements to ensure that you get exactly what you want. Afterwards, it’s time to get an expert handyman with experience in installing modular bathrooms to set yours up.
