A laminated floor is the perfect way to refit your bathroom. It is durable, stylish, easy to clean and comes in a huge variety of patterns, designs and finishes.

However, a large number of householders shy away from laying laminated flooring in their bathrooms, put off by the thought of making an irreversible mistake and deterred by the cost of hiring a specialist fitter.

Neither scenario need be the case. A few easy steps should remove any concerns you may have in laying your bathroom floor efficiently and inexpensively.

Preparation is the key to laying a successful floor. Rip up the existing bathroom flooring and make certain that all detritus is thoroughly cleared away. This point cannot be stressed strongly enough. If any rubbish remains, your new floor will not lie flat.

Next, measure the floor area. A good rule is to buy 10% more material than you actually require. It is a precautionary measure just in case anything does go wrong.

Now for the easy bit, simply unroll the underlay and secure the joins with a strong roll of masking tape or similar material. If you had to take up some of the floor planks now is the time to reassemble them. This really is not much of a problem; just make sure they fit together evenly.

Now for the adhesive and simply unroll the laminated flooring over the underlay. Press down securely, leave for a day or so and there you have it, a brand new bathroom floor.
