Spotting small bathroom problems early keeps your home in great shape and saves money over time. Here is what to look out for.
Signs of a leak
- Stains on the ceiling below the bathroom.
- Loose or cracked tiles, or gaps in grout and sealant.
- A soft or springy floor near the bath, shower or toilet.
- A musty smell that lingers.
Signs ventilation could be better
- Black mould on the ceiling, in corners or on sealant.
- Condensation running down walls and windows.
- Peeling paint or bubbling plaster.
What to do
- Re-seal around the bath and shower when the sealant wears.
- Fit or upgrade an extractor fan, and run it during and after showers.
- Have a suspected leak checked promptly.
When a renovation is the best value
If the floor or tiling needs work in several places, a fresh renovation can be better value than repeated repairs, and a smart new layout helps keep the room dry.
