Savvy mum shares how she saved thousands on her bathroom renovation by using budget materials

Renovating your bathroom is notoriously costly but one mum-of-two has shared how she saved around £4,500 on her bathroom makeover by using budget buys from Facebook Marketplace and taking on some of the labour herself.

Interior designer Jade Simpson, 34, pulled off her dream bathroom renovation for £3,500. As reported by LatestDeals, Jade shared her tips on money-saving Facebook group, DIY On A Budget UK. She said: "The bathroom looked okay when I bought the house, but once we started using it the shower was an old electric one and hardly worked - we ended up showering at the gym most of the time.

"The taps didn't work very well and were falling off and the toilet kept getting blocked. I found out from the plumber that the soil pipe wasn't tilted enough so it kept flooding the back yard. So it had to be done, I really didn't have much choice."
