Waterproof Bathroom Vinyl Installation

How Waterproof Vinyl Transformed a Carytown Bathroom: Jasmine R.’s Case Study

Project Details

Richmond Bathroom Vinyl Transformation

Jasmine R. from Carytown, Richmond, reached out after realising her bathroom floor could no longer handle daily moisture. The surface had become slippery, difficult to maintain, and early water damage was starting to appear around the edges.

Her primary goal was to replace the old flooring with a waterproof, durable, and low-maintenance solution that would remain safe, look modern, and withstand heavy humidity without requiring frequent repairs.

The Challenge

Jasmine’s bathroom presented a few important challenges:

The existing floor was uneven, which could affect the new vinyl installation
Persistent moisture exposure had weakened certain areas near the tub
The old material was slip-prone, raising safety concerns
The room had tight corners and narrow spaces, requiring precise cutting and fitting
Any trapped moisture under the new flooring could lead to long-term damage if not handled correctly

Addressing these issues properly was essential to ensure the new vinyl flooring performed as expected.

What Should Not Be Ignored During Vinyl Flooring Installation

To achieve a durable, long-lasting vinyl floor; especially in bathrooms; certain steps must never be skipped:

Subfloor inspection: Ignoring cracks, dips, or areas affected by water can lead to future lifting or gaps.
Moisture control: Bathrooms require tight moisture management; failure to seal edges can lead to hidden mould.
Levelling the base: Vinyl shows every flaw; uneven surfaces ruin the finish and reduce lifespan.
Correct underlayment selection: The wrong underlayment can trap moisture or make the floor unstable.
Proper acclimation: Vinyl must adjust to room temperature before installation to avoid expansion issues later.
Tight sealing around fixtures: Areas around tubs, toilets, and corners must be sealed to prevent seepage.

These are non-negotiable elements for any high-quality vinyl flooring project.

Selecting the Best Bathroom Vinyl

Based on Jasmine’s goals and the challenges identified, we recommended waterproof luxury vinyl planks (LVP).

Team at Flooring Richmond, VA completed:

Full subfloor preparation to correct uneven spots
Installation of 100% waterproof LVP designed for high-moisture rooms
Edge sealing around all fixtures to block water intrusion
A slip-resistant finish to improve safety
A clean, efficient installation completed within the planned timeline
