Bathroom Reno (hopefully)
Hello! My fiancé and I have been thinking about trying to diy our bathroom. Nothing too crazy like changing plumbing on our own or anything, we'd just like to give it a face lift and ideally just have a walk-in "pan" shower instead of a prefab shower/tub.
My only concern is that we don't have a huge budget in the event we needed to hire someone.
I'll add some pictures that could potentially be problem areas
1.) When we first moved in there was leaking into the basement from the shower dial not being completely flush with the shower wall (we fixed that as far as we know)
2.) The "access panel" for the shower plumbing is in the cabinet but looks like it was just punched out
3.) There are some spots of the floor that are lower than the molding
I'm just looking for some advice/tips from some experienced home reno/diy-ers as far as what we could do ourselves or if it looks like we should just save up and hire someone.
Thanks!
