Inexpensive kitchen repair (44 photos) with your own hands: how much will it cost, video instructions for finishing, photo and price

How much will it cost to renovate a kitchen? It is with this question that the big work on the purchase of materials begins, the transformation of the apartment into a mini warehouse store selling construction and repair mixtures, paints, wallpaper and other consumables without which repair is not repairs.

But here's what we can tell you from the very beginning of the material, and even with a one hundred percent guarantee, do-it-yourself budget kitchen repair is always a cosmetic repair.

Redecoration does not mean not beautiful.

Cosmetics cosmetics strife

And the volume will have to be determined immediately.

Indeed, it's one thing to just glue the wallpaper and touch up the baseboards, and quite another to walk in a large circle from ceiling to floor, while after conducting an audit of the wiring and installing a couple of sockets for household appliances, by the way, it is also considered a cosmetic repair (Learn also about Tom,

Therefore, let's decide in advance:

• With the amount of work in the kitchen. It is clear that our instructions will guide you around a large budget circle, but for yourself you will have to decide this in advance;
• With the availability and the need to purchase one or another repair tool.

And, already based on the preliminary zeroing, we determine the following aspects of the repair:

• The presence or absence of the need to repair the ceiling, as well as the need to hide the wiring or replace it;
• Works on the walls. If you can wait with the ceiling (but we'll talk about this in a separate section), then the walls are your family and they will not get away from you, therefore, you will have to deal with them and with the electrical wiring, by the way, also;
• Repair of floors is desirable or obligatory, you decide, from us a few tips. And some of them should be listened to thoroughly in order to avoid accidents.

Let's say a word about the ceiling

First, the ceiling.

We start all repair work from top to bottom. The philosophy is clear - no one wipes off the whitewash from freshly glued walls and freshly laid linoleum. However, what we do not consider in this section is the concealment of defects in floor slabs, since this element is already considered an element of capital, and, therefore, costly kitchen renovation.

So, let's revise:

• Whitewash or paint your ceilings. No matter how hard you try, over time, the plaster tends to move away from the floor slabs and fall down according to the law of gravity. And he strives to do it at the most inopportune moment. Therefore, we inspect the entire ceiling for potentially dangerous plaster.

Advice! It is necessary to tap with a spatula all the plaster or the entire covering of your ceiling, where a dull sound appears, there is a cavity, it must be eliminated. If you do not do this yourself, then this layer will fall by itself after whitewashing or painting the ceiling with a water emulsion.

• About wiring. Sometimes in houses, not without the help of neighbors, a zero or a phase burns out, due to the ingress of moisture on the wire. The owners of the apartments construct temporary hinges of wires in order to hide them during the renovation. Well, the time has come. And during ceiling repair work, you can pay attention to the ceiling lighting devices, suddenly in any of the horns it is necessary to replace the wiring or the cartridge.

Note! Replacing the electrical wiring or hiding it is carried out before whitewashing and painting on the ceiling.

The fact is that the wire pulled through the voids of the floor slab will still touch part of the whitewash. But the upper lights are hung on stationary places after painting, of course, if the mounts are already installed.

You have to tinker with the walls

This is what we will strive for.

No matter how you want, the old wall covering must be replaced. This section does not cover wall alignment. Since they are a feature of a major overhaul, and you cannot call it budget.

Therefore, here we carry out the following actions:

• Revision of electrical wiring and wiring of additional sockets for household electrical appliances. Here, even the slitting of a wall will not be considered an element of capital, since it is necessary, then it is necessary.

Advice! Each household electrical appliance requires its own socket.

The fact is that even electrical appliances that belong to the class of electricity-saving, when turned on, consume a sufficient amount of electricity, add here appliances with a fast cooking something that is clearly not economical, and you will get a beautiful picture of knocked out plugs or power accessories, so you still have to put additional sockets, as on Photo.

This is not a major overhaul, it is a necessity.

• On the walls. The simplest is, of course, wallpaper for the kitchen. Firstly, you need a little of them, and secondly, part of the wall will already be occupied by an apron and does not require pasting. In kitchens where the wall with stove, column and wall cabinets is fully tiled, you will need even less wallpaper. Sometimes, in order to visually expand the space, the owners install mirrors or mirror tiles on one of the walls, this also takes up part of the wall area and sometimes quite significant.
• Joiner. We mean wooden windows and doors. Very often, these products have the original wood texture, so if necessary, you can simply go through with a colorless varnish. On the outer surfaces of windows, it is better to go through several times with a stain, and then several times with varnish (for plastic analogs, this is not necessary).
• Batteries. Cast iron batteries are usually coated with anti-corrosion and then painted with regular enamel. If you are satisfied with the condition of your batteries, then this element can be neglected.
• When repairing walls, pay attention to the condition of the water pipes and ventilation shafts. If their performance satisfies you, then you can not touch them, but, nevertheless, it is better to replace the gaskets in the cranes, and also view the state of the docking structures.

About the floors

Linoleum or floor tiles, and nothing else is needed.

It's simple with floors. The following works are possible here:

• Replacing the coating still cannot be called a budgetary event, but if you have painted fiberboard on your floors, then you can, of course, paint them, it's not expensive;
• Skirting boards are usually also painted in the color of the floors, or if you have linoleum or floor tiles on your floor, then it is up to you to decide for their color, or the color of the wall;
• Sewerage condition. If everything suits you very well, just do an audit. If the pipes crumble from old age, and wastewater flows to the floor and under the corner plinth, there is nothing to be done about it.

The repair described by us is inexpensive, the price is already outlined at the initial stage and is easy to calculate, especially since the expense is prescribed on each package. Here's some video tips for you, come in handy (see. See also article Kitchen renovation school).
