AI summary
Updating your bathroom floor is a great way to add value. Options range from premium to budget-friendly.
- Timber flooring offers a luxury feel but is the most expensive and requires proper waterproofing.
- Ceramic tiles are durable, versatile, and work well with underfloor heating.
- Vinyl is an affordable, practical choice available in many patterns.
- Laminate and linoleum are the most budget-friendly options.
