The biggest problem with buying an older home is the huge renovation costs. A netizen on PTT mentioned that he saw a low-priced apartment in Longtan, Taoyuan that had been built for nearly 40 years. The owner of the front house had not moved in for more than ten years. Overall, it was quite clean, but he wanted to remove the bathtub in the bathroom and make it a dry and wet one. After separation, I am worried that the waterproof layer has failed. I plan to rent out this house in the future. It is estimated that redoing the entire bathroom will cost about 200,000 yuan. I want to know if there is a way to know whether the waterproof layer is damaged. At the same time, I am praying for a way to reduce the renovation budget.
Regarding the original PO doubts, netizens on the forum provided opinions one after another, “Don’t think too much. Removing the bathtub will destroy the waterproof layer, which means the whole room will have to be redone.” If the bathtub is leaking, you still need to repair the downstairs, think about it yourself.” “A good technician can handle it. I dismantled the bathtub and it didn’t leak, but… a good technician is just looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Some people who have been there have also shared their own decoration experience and market situation. “My home is also a 40-year-old apartment. I recently spent nearly 400,000 yuan on 1.5 square meters of bathroom for reference.” It took time to knock out everything, redo the waterproofing and replace the hot and cold water pipes, and use a Kaiser toilet basin, which is about more than 80,000 yuan.”
Lu Shuyuan, director of Xianghan Interior Design, once explained that the correct procedure for redoing a bathroom should be to first remove the tiles and see the red brick or concrete wall, then piping, then start painting, and then apply a waterproof layer after the paint is dry. After drying, stainless steel water-stop strips need to be placed on the threshold area of the shower room and then waterproofed again. The final procedure is to drain the water to test whether there is water seepage in the pipelines and the floor, and leave it for about a week to ensure that there is no risk. Once everything is correct, the tiles can be laid. program.
Lu Shuyuan also reminded that the most important thing about the toilet is that the waterproof layer must be done properly. If there is only a problem with the pipe, it is actually easy to deal with, but if the pipeline is corroded, it will be more difficult, and it must be removed and replaced. She emphasized that although the working area of the bathroom and toilet project is small, it should not be underestimated. If it is handled properly, it can be solved once and for all. In terms of ideal decoration technology and quality, construction testing cannot be ignored. After pipe modification, the crimping water pressure test should be carried out for at least one week. Only then can the pipe be sealed and painted, and then waterproofed to ensure that the project is safe.
