If your pool restroom is in serious need of a makeover, here are some inexpensive ways to renovate without hiring contractors.
Start With The Toilets
Worn, broken toilet seats and doors that are falling off the hinges may require a complete overhaul, sometimes they just need a little care. First, check the toilet seats to see if the color is faded, the hinges are rusty, or any other signs of wear are present. If so, new toilet seats should be purchased and installed. A new seat typically costs around $30 to $50. This should be done every one to two years, depending on the amount of wear. A new seat will immediately freshen up the restroom, and patrons will appreciate it! Seats can be purchased from a local home-improvement store or online. I recommend inexpensive seats--especially for high-traffic restrooms.
Doors with rusty, broken hinges should be evaluated. During our restroom makeover, we purchased new hinges and doors, but kept the partitions in place. Since all the doors were missing their locks, we opted for new ones; however, replacement locks and hinges can be purchased in lieu of new doors. If you have wooden doors that are in good shape, consider re-sealing them with lacquer or choosing a different color of lacquer to change the restroom’s appearance. Wooden doors with severe wear should be replaced for safety reasons.
