Should we DIY? Advice needed


I think our bathroom is in need of a remodel, husband disagrees. He's unsure if I'm too into the HGTV-culture, or if he's just so used to crappy living conditions that he doesn't see the need for an update. We opted to have Reddit decide.


So a few questions -


1) Is the bathroom in need of remodel?


2) Is this a project that could be tackled in part by novice DIYers?


Thanks in advance for any advice!


Miscellaneous info -



  • We own the home (built in 1987), other areas (kitchen) have been updated.

  • We plan to live for the next 3-5 years at a minimum.

  • My thoughts on the remodel would include a new shower, new vanity, and re-tiling the floor, bathtub, and surrounding tile, and new lighting.

  • If we do remodel, my husband's only request is a Toto Washlet toilet, as he would get "daily use" out of that.

  • Vanity is damaged (discoloration/wear in sink, dog ate the top of the door). The shower also leaks and has permanent rust stains.

  • Budget would be 10k for DIY for all, we'd take it in steps.
