Kirsty saved money by shopping on Facebook Marketplace
A savvy DIY lover has shareed how she transformed her 'rotting' bathroom for less thanks to bargains she found on Facebook Marketplace.
"When we researched new bathroom installs online, prices were anywhere between £4,000 up to £6,000, so I am immensely proud that the project was done for this price. When we started demolition, we had no more than £500 between us. A benefit of doing it yourself is going at your own pace and stopping at any time if you need to catch up on money; there's no contractor to contend with.
"From Marketplace, I picked up a sink tap and bath shower mixer tap for £30, bathroom paint for £6, laminate flooring for £20, a bath for just £40, a free vanity unit and sink, blue fishscale tiles for £20 and cream tiles for £20, grout and tile adhesive for free, a toilet for £35, a £10 light fixture, an over-bath shower screen for £20, a shower head bracket for £5, a glass shower shelf and toilet roll holder for £5, a giant picture...
"Then came plumbing which was an absolute nightmare of leaks everywhere, all the time. Perseverance and YouTube tutorials got me through. Plumbing was the biggest challenge. It's just absolutely terrifying to cut into a pipe for the first time.
