Is It Safe to Fully Renovate a Bathroom (Single-Level House) with a 6-Month Baby at Home?

Is it safe to fully renovate a bathroom (single-level house) with a 6-month baby at home? Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Do you have another bathroom to use during the renovation period? Will the noise effect the babies sleep? Either way a bathroom reno shouldn't take very long I wouldn't think, its definitely achievable.

    • Yes, we have. Just worry about the noise and smell.

        Get a new dummy and change nappies often…….

  • Its a perfect time if you can, at least at six months you don't have to worry about them crawling around and getting into things. As we aren't all Scotty and Cam, allow 3 - 4 weeks for the reno, the bad news doesn't usually begin until the job has started. Haven't seen many well planned reno schedules survive the first few days.

  • I'd try to reduce the dust floating around by sealing off the bathroom area from the rest of the house if possible, especially with a young bub. We recently had new lights put in and there was dust everywhere.
