Bathroom Refurbishment Ideas for Rental Properties

2 April 2026 · 5 min read · MHC Construction

Practical, hard-wearing bathroom specs that look good on viewings and don't generate maintenance call-outs.

A good rental bathroom doesn't need to be fancy. It needs to look clean, function reliably for years, and not generate call-outs. Here's the spec we recommend to Lincoln landlords.

The MHC rental bathroom spec

  • P-shape bath with shower screen — looks generous, easier to clean than a corner bath
  • Square-pattern tiles to 1.8m around the bath, half-tile elsewhere
  • Concealed cistern with chrome flush plate — fewer leak points
  • Single-lever basin tap with ceramic disc cartridge
  • Humidity-tracked extractor fan with 15-min overrun timer
  • Tongue-and-groove panelling? No — LVT or tile only on floors

Where landlords commonly over-spec — and waste money

  • Rainfall shower heads — slower flow, more complaints
  • Vessel basins — chip on first knock
  • Wood-effect wall panels — mould in 2 winters
  • Designer mixer taps — replacement parts impossible to source
