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
Updating your bathroom floor is a great way to add value. Timber offers a luxury feel but is the most expensive option and requires proper waterproofing.
Ceramic tiles are a hard-wearing and versatile alternative, available in many finishes including wood-look.
More affordable choices include vinyl, modern water-resistant laminate, and eco-friendly linoleum. For a budget-friendly update without replacement, consider resurfacing your existing floor, which can be significantly cheaper than a full remodel.
