What is a good toilet repair in a prefabricated house? The fact that the area is small. That is, you do not have to carry out many manipulations, spend an excessive amount of materials, apply imagination. The hardest part is finding the right craftsmen. It is not only the cost of the service, but also the professionalism of the invited workers.
The most difficult work
A priori difficult repairs are paid more. What specifically, if we are talking about repairing a toilet in a panel house? First of all, this is work to replace communications. You can take them on your own only if you have some skills, knowledge and experience. Otherwise, there is a risk of flooding the neighbors, as well as hopelessly spoiling their property.
What do you need to do first? Block the water. After that you can proceed with the dismantling of the old toilet bowl and take all things out of the room. If there is no experience in removing old equipment, then it is advisable to invite a plumber from the management company or the housing office, without calling a repair team. You can take out all the shelves and small items yourself.
Room preparation
How much does a toilet repair take into account all the work? It all depends on the region and the selected masters. The price in Russia, on average, ranges from 3,000 to 8,000 rubles. The cost of such services includes:
- premises preparation;
- dismantling the old toilet;
- installation of a new one;
- replacement of the ceiling;
- replacement of the wall covering;
- replacement of flooring.
This is called a “turnkey toilet repair”. But in order to save most of the work you can do it yourself - for example, prepare the room. To do this, you need:
- peel off the old coating (paint, wallpaper, tile, etc.);
- remove the door if it is planned to be replaced (cover with polyethylene, if the door remains);
- remove the cover, leaving only the light bulb.
The choice of materials and plumbing
Pick up all the necessary materials in advance. Which are better? Depending on what you want to get in the end. The ceilings in the toilet can be simply painted, paneled, glued with PVC tile. It all depends on your imagination. Stretch ceilings are not recommended. They will immediately become worthless if you are flooded by neighbors from above or the roof will leak. In any case, the choice is yours. Repairing a toilet in a prefabricated house can take only one day due to the small size of the room.
Wall decoration should be chosen very carefully. Wallpaper can dampen at any time, especially if the bathroom is combined (the humidity in the room is quite high), and the panels and other mounted materials make the already small area even smaller. The most suitable option is tile, ceramic or paint.
What to do with the floors? Tiles are best suited. Repairing a toilet in a prefabricated house can be done economically: choose, buy, prepare everything yourself, and entrust all the basic and complex works to the masters. Which plumbing equipment is better? This question is better to ask professionals. Only they can count all possible options, choose the plumbing that suits you. The choice of pipes is also better to entrust to the masters. They will not only say which material is better, but also calculate the required amount. This is usually included in the cost of the work. But you can do simple
cosmetic repairs yourself!
