A walk-in or barrier-free shower can make a small bathroom feel considerably larger.

💧 Prioritize waterproofing
This is one area where it pays to spend more rather than cut corners.
Use a proper waterproofing system behind shower tile.
Make sure the shower floor slopes correctly toward the drain.
Seal penetrations around plumbing fixtures carefully.
Don’t rely on tile and grout alone to keep water out.

💡 Reno Tip of the Day!

Set a realistic budget for your renovation—and don’t forget to leave room for unexpected costs. Hidden damage, material price changes, delivery fees, or last-minute upgrades can quickly add up.

A good rule of thumb is to keep 10–20% of your budget as a contingency fund. Planning for surprises from the start can help you avoid stress, delays, and difficult financial decisions later.
