Interventions that can be easily performed and that could be within the reach of several people.

On the other hand, it is instead to perform a real renovation, which tends to profoundly modify an environment and consists, for example, in dismantling and replacement of health workers; demolition of the screed; renovation of the hydraulic system; replacement of the tank ed Installation of a shower cubicle, for those environments in which this operation has not yet been carried out.

If not, it is advisable to replace the tiles.

Renew the bathroom floor

There Renovation of a floor It represents an important intervention to be performed, however there may be various solutions to choose from. For example, in order not to dismantle the old pavement, you could overlap new tiles to the old ones, buying their interlocking floats or choosing a resin coverage, available in many colors and with multiple decorative effects.

Once the water valve has been closed, unscrew the toilet ring and then remove the tube that connects to the junk. Next step is to remove the bolts present. With this operation, remove the toilet from the floor, with a strong and decisive movement. Same procedure for the bidet: remove the drain tube and the canes of hot and cold water, remove the bolts and uproot the piece from the floor.

For the sink, proceed with the removal of the support column and unscrew the drain tube and the two water rods. Once the piece is removed, using a spatula, remove the silicone and white cement present. For Install the new health workers, on the other hand, two specific pieces are needed for fixing to the wall or floor. To complete everything, it will then be necessary to the white cement, in order to fill the space existing between the individual health workers and the wall.
