Hi coastal not quite. Painting the tub and wall tiles alone (excluding the vanity) will cost > $2000. So more like $5000+ I think I'll just spray the wall tiles, leave the bath/vanity seeing it matches the terazzo floor (which I like actually). I forgot to mention the shower screen - yes...

Yeah I'm keeping the terazzo flooring but didn't budget to polish it. No idea if it slopes though. Perhaps I'll just spray the wall tiles and leave the bath/vanity as is since it matches the floor. Plus they would be the first to flake in my opinion. Not spraying the tub/vanity or...

Nooooo! Wylie, you've just deflated me. I've heard respraying looks almost blemish free. What does' crap' look like? You mean it started to flake off? So would you retile, waterproof etc the bathroom...or just leave it? And if I was doing that, I'd leave the kitchen tiles. I mean maybe...

Thanks, I don't mind that...or it could be an AC-ed study/guest bed?? Would a family mind sticking a kid all the way down there do you think if they themselves are in the Master? I'm probably overly analysing though. Re: ACs - they always break down and cost $$$ to repair - especially an...

There's a uni next suburb down....so I think a good compromise will be a smaller 4th bed - agree with you there. The local rental market is saturated with 3 bed houses and if I play in that pool, then I'll be invariably subjected to price comparisons. I'd rather be compared to (more expensive...

Have no idea seeing I've just bought the prop but according to the resurfacers, they warrant the product for at least 7 yrs...but suggest it will hold up to 15 yrs.

As a minimum, this is what I'm doing: 1) respraying the bathroom white ie the wall tiles, bath, pedestal vanity. Been quoted about $2,600 for this. Not cheap but ripping out and starting again will be circa $6-8K plus the logistical issues with trades, delays etc. 2) carpet and lino gone and...

Hmm, I modelled various possible floorplans but not that one. The primary reason I didn't opt for this is b/c: 1) the moment you open up the front door, you see the kitchen. Currently, there's a frosted glass panel/door in front of kitchen...FYI I edited the agent out. Kind of a nice feature...

Thanks all. Yes Jacque good question, and its one that will determine whether I spend hundreds vs thousands on that kitchen. Only problem is....I bought this at auction sight unseen. So a lot will come down to luck and I'll soon find out. Anyway, I'll try and update the forum via after...

Thanks everyone. I've done this sort of reno multiple times now. Only problem is this reno is interstate and from past experience, always get ripped about 30% more than renos I do locally, specifically if I start messing with plumbing, walls, bathrooms and kitchens. I can 'control' painters...

Am planning to remove carpet/polish the floors, paint the house, resurface/respray the bathroom. Replacing the kitchen, given the cost of doing so, would justify reconfiguring the house slightly and that will add more to the cost unfortunately. I think its really a case of all or nothing...

Hi all just wondering if you think I ought/absolutely need to replace this kitchen. Was thinking of going cheap a** and just paint the existing cabinets/add new handles (leaving the benchtop...I like the funky green). Was also planning to bolster it with a bit more overhead cabinetry from...
