We have a house that is around 25yrs old and the second bathroom looks like it has not been updated since it was built (or quite some time ago, if at all). It is in fairly good condition - it has a few things that aren't perfect about it - like the vanity not going right up to the bath so a gap that looks a bit 'unfinished', and being so old the mirror is really low as it is under the window so an adult can't quite see themselves properly and has to bend down a bit, and a bit of a grouting issue (nothing major). But it's clean and tidy, it's not not dirty and scungy - but very outdated both in terms of style and fittings and colour scheme (non offensive but yukky terracotta coloured tiles and creamy everything else and brown plastic toilet).
Would we be mad to consider updating it?? YOu could almost get away with just stripping it and replacing everything but not having to do any plumbing - and even attempting to DIY (yikes, maybe not). But it would mean we would have to leave the mirror low as we cannot alter that without altering the window. If we wanted to fix the mirror height, we would either have to brick in all or half of the window - or rearrange/redsign the entire bathroom.
But mirror/window aside just for now, would we be mad to do a lowcost upgrade on the bathroom. Just some plain white floor/wall tiles, new white bath, new white toilet (new everything, but simple).???
This is the second bathroom and so we actually never use it. We use the ensuite and our little one still uses the laundry trough

(and back to clarify, we have only been here a few months ourselves but are considering selling in next 12 months, maybe sooner).
