A SINGLE mum has revealed how she managed to completely renovate her downstairs bathroom for just £7.50. By doing everything herself and looking out for cheap bargains from Wickes, the mum has completely transformed her bathroom, and now it “looks stunning.
” Having just £10 to renovate her bathroom, the mum revealed on her TikTok page called ‘Mummy Budgets’ that she bought a dado rail from Wickes, while also getting a mitre box to help cut it. A mitre box is a woodworking appliance used to guide a hand saw to ensure precision in the cuts before sticking it to her wall. She then got a spirit level from Poundland to ensure that it was straight, and the mum managed to get it “spot on.
” However, the mum did point out that she made a mistake with the measurements, so she had to “cut a tiny bit” at the end. The young woman then revealed that she used some leftover pink paint from her daughter's room. But when she started painting the wall of her bathroom, she said it was “so watery” the paint was splashing everywhere.
To help thicken it up, the mum added cornstarch to the mixture. To get the paint neatly around the bathroom items, like the toilet roll or towel holder, it is best to use a smaller paintbrush for precision.

Taking to TikTok, she shared her halfway results, which showed half of her wall painted pink, as well as her dado rai.
