WHERE TO START WITH BATHROOM RENOVATIONS

Posted by TAPSBath on October 24th, 2019

Dealing with plumbing supplies and drainage, waterproofing, and ventilation concerns, often all with little space to work with, there are many challenges that need to be overcome.

To achieve all of this requires careful planning in order to avoid a D.I.Y. disaster being unleashed in one of your home’s most important kitchen and Bath spaces.
