At the word "repair", many immediately think about the repair of living rooms: bedrooms, halls, kitchens, etc. And almost no one remembers a room that may not be residential, but often visited for sure - about the toilet. Alas, it is precisely the places where vital needs are met that are usually left without due attention, especially in houses of the 60s. And if anyone thinks, then repairing the toilet for the majority becomes difficult. Therefore, situations are not uncommon when the so-called European-quality repair is in the apartment, and the toilet is still shabby. Repair work in the house cannot be considered complete until the toilet is in order.
Our article will tell you how to make repairs in the toilet without resorting to the help of construction teams. Repair in such an important "corner of thought" can be divided into several main stages - plumbing installation and room decoration.
The most important thing to really think about before you start repairing the toilet with your own hands is your own convenience and comfort. Therefore, having decided to make a major overhaul, it is also necessary to pay special attention to plumbing so that inshe didn't bother you for the next few years.
For example, a toilet. In general, there are only two materials for the production of a toilet bowl - porcelain and faience. Porcelain will serve you faithfully longer than earthenware, and it is easier to clean. Also note the presence of glaze on the drain pipe and siphon. All necessary pads are included with the chair. Before installation, it is necessary to make a gasket for water and sewer wiring. First you need to try on the toilet and make a mark. After using a perforator, holes are made for fastening. If you have ceramic tiles on the floor, you should choose a shockless mode, otherwise the repair in the toilet will be in vain and endless. After the mark, a sealant is applied and the toilet bowl is attached. Now you can connect all communications.
Choosing the building material for the ceiling in the toilet, and most importantly, using it rationally, is much more difficult than you think. The fact is that before painting or whitewashing, the ceiling must be prepared (leveled, putty, etc.), and in a small room, this type of work is very inconvenient to do. As a result, as practice shows, it is better to use plastic panels or ceiling tiles. In most cases, tiles are laid on the floor.
In order for a toilet renovation to be as durable as possible, it is necessary to take all aspects seriously, and walls are no exception. The specifics of the room, alas, immediately dismisses such an option as wallpaper. But does not exclude the use of ceramic tiles or plastic panels. Before leaving forit is necessary to run the finish line for several more hours, but not along the road, but along the walls - clean them to a concrete base and level them with putty, and after drying - with a moisture-repellent primer in several layers. This will be a good preventive measure to prevent the growth of harmful mold.
First of all, the final result directly depends on the skills of the owners of the house, on the possibilities and desires. As mentioned above, you primarily make repairs in the toilet for yourself and your household, which means you can choose a variety of materials, colors and accessories.
