How To Replace Lino In Bathroom

Replacing lino in a bathroom is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. However, there are a few essential aspects to consider to ensure a successful installation. ### 1. Preparation Before you begin, it is important to prepare the bathroom by removing all fixtures and fittings. This includes the toilet, sink, vanity, and any other items that may be in the way. Once the bathroom is clear, you can begin to remove the old lino. ### 2. Removing the Old Lino To remove the old lino, you will need to use a sharp utility knife to cut along the seams. Once the lino is cut, you can use a pry bar to remove it from the floor. Be careful not to damage the subfloor when removing the lino. ### 3. Preparing the Subfloor Once the old lino is removed, you will need to prepare the subfloor for the new installation. This may involve repairing any damaged areas or leveling the floor if it is uneven. You may also want to install a new layer of underlayment to provide a cushion for the new lino. ### 4. Installing the New Lino Once the subfloor is prepared, you can begin to install the new lino. Start by measuring the bathroom and cutting the lino to size. Then, apply a layer of adhesive to the subfloor and lay the lino in place. Be sure to smooth out the lino and remove any air bubbles. ### 5. Trimming and Finishing Once the lino is installed, you will need to trim it around the edges and any fixtures. You can use a utility knife to trim the lino and a sealant to finish the edges. ### 6. Reinstalling the Fixtures Once the lino is trimmed and finished, you can reinstall the fixtures and fittings. Start by reinstalling the toilet, then the sink, vanity, and any other items. ### 7. Cleaning Up Once the fixtures are reinstalled, you can clean up the bathroom and remove any debris. You can then enjoy your new lino floor!
