Powder rooms – or half bathrooms – are two-piece bathrooms that are usually used by guests. They only have the basic restroom necessities: a toilet and a sink. Converting your powder room into a full bathroom is a great renovation option for you to make the most out of your home and even increase your home value. But this is not an easy task and is a project that requires experience and expertise. 

 

There are some crucial points in this type of project that only a qualified professional will be able to complete perfectly.

Plumbing

A big part of turning your powder room into a full bathroom involves plumbing work since you will be adding a shower and/or bathtub. That means it will be necessary to add a shower drain and drainpipe. A professional will help you choose the correct pipe size and complete the work correctly, so you don’t have any future plumbing problems.

Shower and tub

Powder rooms are usually a lot smaller than full bathrooms. So you will have two options: to demolish the existing walls and create new ones, adding extra space to the new bathroom, or using the space you already have and not installing a full-sized walk-in shower. There are many options of corner showers and tub inserts that you can choose to fit the available space. The most efficient way to make it work is to have an experienced contractor planning and work on the renovation to optimize the space available. 

Electrical work

Like plumbing work, electrical work is also essential in a powder room to bathroom conversion. It might be necessary to add new lighting elements, a heat mat, a steam shower system or even a motor for a jacuzzi if you have enough space for it. Nevertheless, it is always necessary to have a licensed professional work on your electrical system. In case you DIY the electrical work, besides the risk of something going wrong and causing more harm than good, you wouldn’t be able to purchase home insurance, for example.

Floor and walls

An experienced contractor will help you choose the best materials for the floors and walls. Now that your powder room will be turned into a full bathroom, the area will have a lot of moisture, which can cause mould and rot. The professional will guide you through the best material choices and know how to install them properly. Correctly applying the concrete underlayment or waterproof underlayment before installing the tiles or natural stone of your choice is vital to avoid future problems in the bathroom.
