What to Consider When Adding an Extra Bathroom

A bathroom addition can cost you a significant amount depending on the size and fixtures. However, it’s still a worthy project to consider, especially if you want to improve your property’s resale value. That said, it’s essential to be guided with pro tips to ensure your project’s success.

Here are the top things you should consider when adding an extra bathroom to your home.

Should I Get an Additional Bathroom?

Before you decide to add a new bathroom to your house, it’s crucial to ask yourself these questions:

• What Kind of Bathroom Do I Want?

Decide whether you need a complete bath or just a powder room for your guests. If you want a full bathroom, will you include a tub or a tub-and-shower combination?

• Do I Have Enough Space for a New Bathroom?

If you have the square footage, then you can easily find space for an extra bathroom. But if your house is smaller, you will need to extend it – which will significantly add to your costs.

• Where Will I Build the Extra Bathroom?

If you ask tub replacement experts, they can recommend several areas in your home that could fit a bathroom. Your hallways, for instance, take up about 30 to 40 square feet of space, so they’re an ideal location for an extra bathroom. You can also convert your walk-in closet or build an en suite in the master bedroom.

Why Should I Add a New Bathroom?

If you have a large or growing family, it pays to have another bathroom to avoid long lines during busy mornings. An extra bathroom is also a good investment if you have an older family member who wishes to age in place.
