At the word "repair", many immediately think about repairing living rooms: bedrooms, halls, kitchens, etc. And almost no one remembers a room that may not be residential, but often visited for sure - about the toilet. Alas, it is precisely these places of satisfaction of vital needs that usually remain without proper attention, especially in the houses of the 60s. And if anyone thinks, then repairing the toilet for most becomes difficult. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the apartment to have a so-called European-quality repair, and the toilet is still shabby. Repair work in the house cannot be considered completed until the toilet is put in order.
Our article will tell you how to make repairs in the toilet, without resorting to the help of construction crews. Repair in such an important “corner of thought” can be divided into several main stages - installation of plumbing and room decoration.
The most important thing that you should really think about before you start repairing the toilet with your own hands is about your own convenience and comfort. Therefore, deciding to make major repairs, it is also necessary to pay special attention to plumbing so that it does not bother you in the next few years.
For example, a toilet. In general, there are only two materials for the production of the toilet - porcelain and faience. Porcelain will serve you faithfully longer than earthenware, and it is easier to clean. Also note the presence of glaze on the drain pipe and siphon. All the necessary pads are included with the “chair”. Before installation, it is necessary to lay the water and sewer wiring. First you need to try on the toilet and make a mark. Then, using a punch, make holes for the fasteners. If there is ceramic tile on the floor, you should choose a shock-free mode, otherwise the repair in the toilet will be futile and endless. After the mark is applied sealant and the toilet is attached. Now you can connect all communications.
Choosing the building material for the ceiling in the toilet, and most importantly, rationally using it, is much more difficult than you think. The fact is that before painting or whitewashing, the ceiling needs to be prepared (leveled, putty, etc.), and in a small-sized room this type of work is very inconvenient. As a result, as practice shows, it is better to use plastic panels or ceiling tiles. In most cases, tiles are laid on the floor.
To repair the toilet as long as possible, it is necessary to take seriously all aspects, and walls are no exception. The specifics of the room, alas, immediately sweeps away such an option as wallpaper. But does not exclude the use of ceramic tiles or plastic panels. Before going to the finish line, you need to run a few more hours, but not on the road, but on the walls - clean them to a concrete base and level them with putty, and after drying, use a water-repellent primer in several layers. This will be a good prevention to prevent the growth of harmful mold.
First of all, the final result directly depends on the skills of home owners, on opportunities and desires. As already mentioned above, the first thing you do to repair the toilet is for yourself and the household, which means you can choose a variety of materials, colors and accessories.
