Maybe it was a cracked tub, broken tiles, or just the urge to have a sleeker, newer bathroom that pushed you over the edge, if you’ve decided to get your bathroom demolished, you’re in the right place.
While it may not be the safest course of action to go through a do-it-yourself bathroom demolition, you can definitely prepare for it yourself. There’s a lot more work involved than meets the eye.

Rent a bin
Waste management companies often offer bin rental services. Setting up a new bathroom means tearing the old one down–and between tiles, the toilet, and general debris, you’re going to be swamped with junk. At The Junk Guys, the first ton of dry landfill material removal is free.
Clean everything out
Clear out your medicine cupboard and any other shelves in the bathroom. Donate anything that might not be of use to you, and do your best to de-clutter.
Takedown anything on the wall
Remove all mirrors and lightweight cabinets from the wall, especially if you’re planning on including them in your renovated bathroom. They could be susceptible to damage while the demolition is being carried out.
Make sure all utilities are turned off
Before any demolition work begins, all utilities need to be turned off. The circuit breaker for your bathroom needs to be switched off to ensure that no one working on the demolition suffers electric shocks. The water supply needs to be turned off as well. To avoid any messes, drain the water left in your faucets after the water supply has been turned off. Flush the toilet to drain it too.
