Patrick and I recently renovated our shower in our bathroom. Originally, I just wanted a hot shower heater installed, but then the bathroom tiles really needed to be changed so we decided to do a bit of renovation. Patrick said we only had a $300 budget for the renovation so I told him that I just want the shower part of the bathroom changed.
Our (old) shower had off-white tiles on the floor and halfway up the wall. It also has glass doors. At first, Patrick wanted to do the renovation on his own; take tiles off and put the new tiles on. After 3 sessions of 3 hours each, Patrick decided that we needed to call for back-up. The tiles were so old that it was difficult to peel it off the wall. He was only able to remove tiles for an equivalent of the small wall, but was so exhausted every time. So then, we hired family contractors to do the job -- a father-son duo (Tito Jose and Kuya Jomar)!
While Kuya Jomar hacked away the tiles in our shower, Patrick and I headed to a home improvement store in GMA called, Wilcon Depot, to pick out new tiles. We went with the grey-blue theme and spent P5,500 on everything; three types of tiles, grout, bags of tile adhesives, white-blue shower curtain with a liner and curtain rings, and a glass-metal shelf for our toiletries.
Two and half days later, our shower was good as new and only spent P2,550 for labor! The total amount we spent was P8,050 ($180.90) for both materials and labor.
Next week, we're off to pick up our new shower heater to be installed which will cost us about P5,000 ($112.36). I can't wait!
PeeJay and Liam really like our new shower and PeeJay says he will soon be taking his showers in there, too.
Even though we only renovated the shower, we did change our faucet for our bathroom sink, too!
My favorite part about the shower renovation are niches for shampoos and soaps!
