Bathrooms can be one of the more expensive projects to take on in your home. Materials and fixings for this space are often pricy, and enlisting the services of a plumber can cost a pretty penny too.\u00a0But don’t fret, these budget bathroom updates will help you cheat your way to a cheap and cheerful makeover that looks expensive…<\/p>\n

1. Choose bathroom wall panels over tiles<\/h2>\n

Tiling is probably the most common choice for a bathroom, and while you can find some great-value tiles out there, labour costs are likely to scupper your bathroom budget unless you’re willing to have a go at DIY tiling. Bathroom wall panels, also called shower panels, are a great alternative though and have come a long way in terms of design and durability over recent years. Marble-style designs will give your bathroom a luxury look for much less. It’s also easier to install.
