My bathroom was so dull and depressing before we did it up with DIY – we even found cheap ‘marble’ tiles
A WOMAN has revealed that she and her husband have given their ‘dull and depressing’ bathroom an epic makeover on the cheap.
So if your bathroom is in need of an upgrade, but you’re on a budget and can’t afford to splash the cash, you’ll need to listen up.
DIY enthusiast Chantelle Porter took to social media to show off a before and after look at her bathroom overhaul, leaving many open-mouthed.
Posting on DIY On a Budget Official, a private Facebook group with 2.2 million members, Chantelle explained that she nabbed ‘marble’ stick-on tiles from Temu, as well as paint from B&Q.
Alongside snaps of her bathroom, the mother, who is from Tamworth, explained: “Been a very long week but has definitely been worth it.”
Chantelle revealed that she hated her plain bathroom, but has now turned it from blue and dark, into a chic, green and marble space.

The savvy mum continued: “I hated my bathroom before - it was so dull and depressing.
“But now I love it. All the pain and stress has definitely paid off.
“All has been done on a budget and done by me and my husband.”
Chantelle then beamed: “We are very proud of it.”
What was once a bright blue wall, with black and white tiles, has now been transformed with marble effect tiles, as Chantelle explained: “They are stick-on bathroom ones [from] Temu.
“[We] just stripped the walls, sanded and [added] silicone all around the edges.”
Not only this, but Chantelle gave her once cream-coloured walls a trendy upgrade, as she confirmed that she used Dulux Emerald Glade paint from B&Q.
Chantelle’s post has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 128 likes and 34 comments.
