Today, finding and choosing materials for bathroom renovation is not particularly difficult.

Bathroom interior

Features of the bathroom calculator

A characteristic feature of our program is its convenient three-dimensional visualization. 3D model of a room that includes a toilet or bath

, sinks, etc., will allow you to correctly calculate the physical parameters of materials and not make mistakes when choosing the list of necessary works.

Features of the online calculator:

  • A combined or separate bathroom is considered separately.
  • Units of measurement are indicated (pieces, square meters, linear meters).
  • A list of additional services is taken into account, including waste removal, purchase and delivery of building materials to the site.
  • The wall calculator
    assumes the use of standard sized cladding materials and straight or angled tile cutting.

Depending on the complexity of the work and the need for preliminary surface preparation, special calculation algorithms are used.

The most necessary furniture is a cabinet under the sink. As a budget option, we chose a small but stylish cabinet with legs; by the way, our version of a budget sink can be built into it.

As a premium option, there is a large IKEA cabinet with drawers. Retractable mechanisms are better, as you can fit more necessary little things there.

Calculation accuracy

The calculator will help you navigate prices and find out the preliminary cost of repairs. To agree on an accurate estimate for materials or services, it is worth calling our master to your home, he will help calculate the cost of repairing the bathroom and toilet. Calling a specialist to the site is free for future clients.

You can use the bathroom and toilet renovation calculator for free on the website. If you have any questions, call us and we can remotely calculate your repair, so the cost estimate will be much more accurate and detailed.

We complement the interior with accessories

We deliberately did not include accessories in our final list, since their number and choice are very individual. For example, in order to save your budget, you can order goods on Aliexpress - for example, in our selection you will find goods no more expensive than 300 rubles. There are also accessories for storage, and even stickers for tiles with a mirror surface instead of a full-fledged mirror.

Instructions for use

Calculate the cost of toilet and bathroom renovation

It's very easy with our calculator. To do this, it is enough to know the dimensions of the bathroom and enter the correct values ​​in the indicated columns. The type of housing (secondary market or new building) is important for calculations; the complexity of surface preparation depends on this.

What parameters are analyzed:

  • Height, width of walls.
  • Height, width of windows.
  • Height, width of doorways.

After this, the program will offer a visualization project for a typical room. Using the signs, you can select the type of work for different surfaces by checking the required boxes. The next step is to determine the plumbing and materials. Plumbing shut-off valves according to the proposed model will appear in the next window. Prices per unit will appear here, and total costs are being calculated.

Installation of plumbing equipment is the penultimate stage of drawing up an estimate on the toilet and bathroom renovation calculator

. A clear profile and signs will help you navigate your bathroom pattern. For user convenience, the system automatically highlights selected elements. Once all the necessary nodes have been specified, you should proceed to the final stage.

The last page of our calculator is designed as a list of selected works and the total amount of repairs. A breakdown into the sections “Cost” and “Consumables” will help determine the most significant expense items and clarify primary and additional items. If shortcomings are found in the process, the error can be easily corrected by going to the “Add work” section. The total amount includes a breakdown by section, which is convenient for analyzing the main expense items.

We select plumbing equipment

In our list we have collected the required minimum of plumbing equipment.

The budget version of the toilet costs 2,295 rubles, and from the expensive segment - 17,900 rubles (this is a set: toilet, installation and button).

This difference in toilet prices is explained by the design. In the first case, it is a regular free-standing toilet with an external tank. The luxury option is an installed design, when the tank is hidden “in the wall”, this often looks more aesthetically pleasing, and this installation is also more hygienic.

Bath

We decided to offer not a shower cabin, but a bathtub. And there are reasons for this. Construction of showers, a priori, is not a cheap task. Boxes are cheaper, but, alas, they are long outdated. And the range of bathtubs is so large that choosing the right one will not be difficult. Among the budget ones, we chose an acrylic bathtub. Among the expensive ones is cast iron.

Acrylic is a good material for a bathtub; they are light and do not make noise when filling with water, but they are not too durable. Cast iron is very heavy, but durable. In addition, expensive bathtubs do not fade, do not get scratched, and if they do get scratched, they can be easily repaired.

Sink

When choosing a sink, we relied on appearance. The material is the same, ceramic, but the mounting methods are different. The budget option costs only 665 rubles, and the expensive one costs 3,530 rubles.

The budget option simply performs its direct functions without additional benefits. The mixer is single-lever, with a long “spout”; if the bathtub is located next to the sink, the mixer can be turned into the sink. The watering can is chrome, works in one mode.

Luxury option - mixer with thermostat. This device allows you to control the water temperature, regardless of differences in the riser. Plus, it looks very stylish. And the watering can, with several water supply modes, allows you to give yourself a water massage. In general, this is a really expensive and functional plumbing fixture that is worth the money.

The budget set costs RUB 653.00/piece. + 659.00 rubles, and the more expensive one – 14,550.00 rubles/piece. + RUB 3,790.00

Everything is quite simple here too. The variety of prices is determined by quality and functionality. A budget mixer costs 630 rubles. And the expensive one - 7,848 rubles, it helps to save water, and it also has an aerator built into it, which dilutes the flow of water with bubbles and makes it more pleasant for people.

To summarize the topic of faucets, we would advise even those who are committed to budget repairs to choose expensive and high-quality options, since they ultimately help save money and will last a long time.

Selection of finishing material

Tile floor

Floor finishing

A common floor finishing option is to use tiles. The tiles are available in different sizes, rectangular or square. The most popular tiles are with a side of 0.3 or 0.33 m, the area of ​​one is 0.09 m² or 0.11 m² .

Dividing the total floor area by the area of ​​one tile, we get the required quantity - 34 or 28 pieces.

Do not forget that there will be a need to trim the tiles, so purchase a small supply so that you do not have to go back to the store and buy the missing quantity. The worst thing is that you may not find tiles from the same batch, and products from the same manufacturer of the same brand in different batches may differ slightly in shade.

Advice! Even if you have calculated the number of tiles taking into account the “trimming”, it is advisable to have a reserve of several pieces in case of defects or damage.

Wall decoration

In the same way, finishing materials for wall repairs are calculated. If you prefer ceramic tiles, you can choose rectangular wall tiles with sides of 0.2x0.3 m. Thus, the area of ​​each product is 0.06 m².

According to the proposed scheme, you can calculate not only the renovation of a room 170x170 cm, but also any other room.

You should also take into account the amount of material for installation; if it is necessary to level the walls with plaster, plaster compounds will be required. Their number depends on the size of the irregularities in building structures.

When renovating a bathroom ceiling, the most common option is slatted suspended ceilings made of aluminum panels finished in white, gold or mirror silver. You can also resort to a cheaper option - seamless plastic or plastic for lining.
