Renovating your bathroom without breaking it is faster, cheaper and less inconvenient. Discover the possibilities of bathroom panels, overlacquer tiles and new sanitary options.
There are several ways to give your bathroom a new look without cutting away the existing tiles. Bathroom panels are glued or screwed over the tiles and are available in many designs. Tile over tiles is another option, where thin tiles are glued directly onto the existing layer.
A third option is a concrete look coating. This allows you to apply a waterproof layer over the existing tiles, which gives a sleek, modern look. Finally, you can opt for bathroom foil, the cheapest option.
Renovate a bathroom without breaking (per bathroom)
Renovating without breaking works best if the pipework is still in good condition and you are satisfied with the layout of your bathroom. If the pipes are outdated or you want to move plumbing fixtures, it is often wiser to break them anyway.
The condition of the existing tiles also plays a role. They must be firmly attached and flat. Loose or convex tiles do not form a good basis for a new layer on top.
