Fitting new bathroom cabinets

A bathroom cabinet is an essential addition to any bathroom, it gives you extra storage space for those small items you want out of view such as medicines and personal products as well as keeping things out of the way of children, if you are looking to give your bathroom a bit of an update then a new bathroom cabinet is a good place to start.

The first factor to consider when fitting a new cabinet is placement, although most cabinets are light, once they have toiletries in they become heavier so will need to be securely fitted to the wall. Many people like to have their bathroom cabinets above their sink as many come with a mirror on their door, so you need to make sure there is enough room, that it won’t get in the way and that it can be placed at the right height for all members of the household.

Most new cabinets will come with fixtures and fittings so its relatively easy to put up, you just need to make sure you mark it level on a wall by using a spirit level, here it can be good to have someone help you, especially if the cabinet is on the larger side. You always need to remember to fit wall plugs when attaching something like this into a wall, and make sure you use the correct drill bit whether it’s directly onto the wall or through tiles.

Once you have secured your cabinet to the wall you can slot in the shelves and now your cabinet is ready for use. Simple additions such as a new cabinet can give your bathroom an update, along with other new fitting, without having to completely fit a new bathroom suite.
