Bathroom is a complex space within the house that needs to be designed with utmost care as during its construction various skilled professionals co-ordinate to construct it. Slip up from even one such person can prove to be costly. Various accessories like bathroom fittings like taps, plumbing settings, power-points (in case the laundry is incorporated in the bathroom), bathroom tiles are part of any normal bathroom space.
Those who can afford also convert their bathrooms into much larger areas like a master bedroom or poolside 'wet area'! In such cases where your bathroom is more like your favourite corner in the house one should take care as to not ruin it by trying to repair or make something on their own. You have the resources so you should employ professionals who can help you to maintain the aesthetics and the accessories of your personal space.
People with somewhat less flattering bathrooms should also follow this advice. Some very basic stuff like choosing the colour scheme and style, sourcing fixtures and fittings, removing and installing simple existing fittings such as hooks, towel rails and paintings should be the only activities which you should try yourself. Apart from this everything else like plumbing, electrical fittings, installing sinks/washbasins or complex tiling/installations are best left for pros. Any miscalculation from your part is enough to damage your bathroom in a big way and all the mop-up action will leave you with a gaping hole in your budget!
Also since you are paying your hard earned money you should cross check the credentials of the people you employ to refurbish/renovate your bathroom. Check that all the bathroom renovation professionals you engage are industry qualified, licensed and insured. Be clear on what you're expecting each of them to do before finalising contracts, handing over cash or beginning work.
Also look ahead and determine how the 'time out' required for renovations will affect your day-to-day life and organise how to best plan around the ongoing work. Neighbours are the best bet for this time, try informing them beforehand that your bathroom is being renovated and you will be using their bathroom during this ‘time out’ period. Hiring a portaloo or bathing at your local gym is also an option that you can explore.
