BATH it is the most important room in a house for many home buyers.
Even though it's one of the smallest rooms in a house, the bathroom is a highly labor-intensive area to renovate. The sheer compactness presents challenges— even in luxuriously large baths. Within several hundred square feet or less, you will address plumbing, electrical, tile, counters, cabinetry and perhaps some extras—from audio and video features to warming drawers for towels and heated floors.
Buyers will take close look at your Bath.
When buyers tour homes for sale, they're taking a close look at the bathrooms. For some, the sheer number of bathrooms in a home is critical—they must have a master, a family bathroom (full bath) and a half bathroom (powder room) for guests. So, you might be adding another bathroom to your home before selling time to appeal to the type of buyer who is looking at homes like yours.

how much it costs to create a dream bathroom?
Now, you’re probably wondering how much it costs to create a dream bathroom. That’s hard to say because so much depends on the condition of the current bath and the fixtures and fittings selected, but on average it costs between $6,000 and $20,000 to totally remodel a small- to the medium-size bathroom.
Bathroom design
When choosing surfacing materials for your new bath, be mindful that these materials must be suitable for installation in a bathroom. Bathroom floors, walls, showers and vanity tops are continuously exposed to hot, soapy water and intense steam. These conditions are tough on surfaces, but also create slippery, potentially dangerous conditions for people.
Porcelain tile is arguably the best material for any bath floor. It’s much harder than ceramic tile and comes in a wide array of sizes, shapes, colors and patterns, including porcelain planks that resemble wood flooring. However, when selecting tile for a bath floor, the most important characteristic is slip resistance. The same goes for tiles used in the shower area or toilet alcove. Don’t even consider any floor tile that doesn’t have a slip-resistant surface.
Why Bath remodeling is the best investment a long term for your home improvement.
1. Address Storage Needs
Remodeling is the perfect time to add storage space to your new bath. Storage is especially important if the bathroom is being shared by two or more people.
2. Improve the Lighting
Installing the proper lighting will make your new bathroom much more attractive, warm and welcoming. However, the most important reason to improve the lighting is to create a safer bathroom.
3. Upgrade the Ventilation System
No room in the house needs an effective ventilation system more than a bathroom. A ceiling-mounted vent fan or a combination vent fan/light fixture is the best way to exhaust steam, hot air, and unpleasant odors. Proper ventilation can also prevent condensation from forming on floors, making them less slippery. It also helps towels to dry faster so they don’t get musty-smelling. And it deters the growth of mold and mildew
