Add value to your bathroom with these flooring options
We break down the most to least expensive options for a new bathroom floor.
AI summary
Upgrading your bathroom floor is a great way to add value. Material options vary significantly in price and style:
- Timber offers a premium, natural look but requires proper waterproofing.
- Ceramic tiles are hard-wearing, versatile, and ideal for underfloor heating.
- Vinyl, laminate, and linoleum provide durable and affordable alternatives.
For a budget-friendly refresh on floors in good condition, consider resurfacing, which can be up to 70% cheaper than a full replacement.
