When selling your house you want to make a good first impression with buyers but sometimes your budget doesn’t allow for a full bathroom makeover. However you can refresh your bathroom for under $150 using the tips below. Some of the items on my list you may already have on hand or may find cheaper at other stores.
- Clean your bath from top to bottom. Don’t forget your cabinets and moldings. A scrubber sponge and mild detergent can really make a difference on moldings, doors, cabinets and fixtures. Using a magic eraser on fiberglass tubs is an easy way to remove soap scum. Clean your grout with a bleach solution.
- Replace your cabinet hardware with new, modern handles and hinges.
- Replace towel racks and toilet paper holders.
- Repair any broken tiles and fix grout.
- Replace broken blinds.
- Hang a new shower curtain with new hooks.
- Paint the ceilings and walls.
