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
Upgrading your bathroom floor can significantly add value to your home. A range of options is available to suit different budgets and styles.
- Timber: A premium, natural look that requires proper waterproofing.
- Ceramic tiles: A durable and versatile mid-range choice, great with underfloor heating.
- Vinyl, laminate, and linoleum: More affordable, with many modern, water-resistant designs.
For a budget-conscious update, resurfacing your existing floor can be up to 70% cheaper than a full remodel.
