Taking a long dip in the bath allows you to relax and unwind after a hard day’s work or a busy day with the kids; it provides a perfect place to soak with a good book or your favourite radio station, as well as providing you with all the physical benefits of heated water on tense or stressed muscles and joints. For those who have had their bathtub many years, or have purchased a lower-quality tub, the finish can often become faded, chipped or starts to peel. If purchasing a higher quality tub is out of the question (but for the affordable prices at Bathshop321, it’s had to find an excuse not to!) then it may be time to resurface your tub.

A common problem in many households is strange smells emitted from the toilet cistern; this is usually attributed to stagnant water in the tank and will continue to stink out your bathroom until you take some time to clear the problem. This problem is particularly common in ‘secondary bathrooms’ and areas with ‘hard water’ which is a large cause of lime scale and scum, such as the South of the UK. Fear not fans, the Bathshop321 is on hand to help you fix up your bathroom once again!

If you have a niggling voice in the back of your mind telling you to update your bathroom then listen to it. Don’t worry about costs, you can dramatically transform and improve your bathroom space by making simple and inexpensive changes. Check out these cheap remodelling ideas which will give your bathroom a contemporary edge, without the contemporary price tag.

Shower mats are a fantastic way to ensure you don’t do the old ‘banana skin’ slip in the tub! They do definitely help you to retain some grip underfoot when in the bath or shower. Conditioners and hair removal products can be particularly slimy on the bottom of the tub and can make it like an ice rink. Whilst this may not be a cause for concern for figure skaters, us regular clumsy oafs can find it somewhat more problematic. Shower mats can blend in nicely when clear but you can get them in other colours too if you’d like a more bold option to match your accent colour. Make sure to run them through the washing machine regularly though as they can get surpisingly manky, which isn’t to the Fairy Bathmother’s tastes at all.

Floor tiles are being incorporated into modern households more and more as time goes on. Contemporary styles and designs often show us how great a tiled floor can look; the smooth coloured surface of the tiles contrasted with the grout has a certain cool class about it.

If there’s one thing the Bathshop321 Handyman knows, it’s that water erodes everything given enough time. Even silicone sealant, a substance created to provide a water resistant solution to gaps joints between baths, showers, sinks and walls (amongst other household applications, but the Bathshop321 handyman won’t hear it).

Ahoy Bathshop321 fans! Welcome to the first lot of tips from the Bathshop321 Handyman. We’ll start the series with one of the most common problems that occurs in modern bathrooms; the blocked drain. Standing or slow draining water left by a blocked drain can easily cause slippery surfaces and a build-up of scum, so removing this in areas such as the bath and shower enclosure is extra important.
