A bathroom renovation can typically put you thousands of pounds out of pocket but one savvy couple managed to save themselves a fortune on expensive labour and materials costs by doing it themselves. Sharnene Jewell, 45, from Cardiff and her husband Paul, 51, transformed their bathroom by upcycling second-hand furniture and hunting for bargains.
Using Gumtree and Ebay the pair pulled off an incredible industrial makeover for just £550. They now have a charming and rusting-looking bathroom that is unrecognisable from its former self.
"The shower room on our top floor originally had a full-length cupboard behind the door which I felt was a waste of space because it was really not used for anything," Sharnene told DIY On A Budget UK.
