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.
