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? ____________________________ ⏱️CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:23 Rip Out 01:07 Overboarding 01:19 Studwork 01:34 Shower Base 02:11 Boarding 02:43 Underfloor Heating 03:18 Tiling 04:39 Painting 04:48 Shower Screen 05:00 Grouting 05:21 Towel Heater 05:38 The Price ========================================== #homeimprovement #DIYprojects #bathroomdesign 👇 SUPPORT SB - BECOME A MEMBER https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9GdB6vG6m6cDAwrTAWXgyg/join 📪 JOIN OUR NEWSLETTER http://skill-builder.uk/signup 🛒 SEE OUR FAVOURITES ON AMAZON https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/skillbuilder 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST https://blubrry.com/skillbuilder/subscribe 🎬 OUR VIDEO LIBRARY https://www.youtube.com/@SkillBuilder/videos 🔗 SEE EVERYTHING SB ON LINKTREE https://linktr.ee/skillbuilder https://www.facebook.com/skillbuilderchannel https://www.tiktok.com/@skillbuilder https://www.instagram.com/skill_builder (As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases) ================================== OUR FAVOURITE CHARITIES 👷 BAND OF BUILDERS https://bandofbuilders.org ⛯ THE LIGHTHOUSE CHARITY https://lighthousecharity.org 💧 CHARITY WATER https://www.charitywater.org
