Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Dec 03, 2015 12:08 am I intend to have my laundry renovated, but I want to save costs by doing some things myself. Firstly I will tell you what the major changes the renovation will involve. 1. Re-positioning of the washing machine taps from the right hand side wall to the back of the laundry wall 2. Re-position the laundry tub + sink from the right hand side wall to the back of the laundry wall (so 1 and 2 will now be side by side. 3. Install a toilet The laundry is adjacent to the bathroom and the house is on bricks. WHAT I INTEND TO DO MYSELF TO SAVE COSTS: 1. I want to know if the plaster walls need to be ripped out to accomodate the re-positioning of the taps,tub. If that's the case, then I can save money by doing the ripping out the right hand side wall and back wall myself + ripping out the old tub and removal of the taps. 2. Removal of the floor tiles. 3. I will source the new tiles, taps, tubs myself. I envisage that I will save about $1000 if I do these myself if indeed it is neccesary to remove the plaster. **The duplicate posst were unintended and out of my control as the website was having loading issues**** Re: Laundry Reno, save money 2Dec 05, 2015 12:08 am Are you on a slab?
