You buy your dream home - a grand Georgian beauty in Somerset.
You're riding high on excitement.
You've got a local plumber lined up, and you're ready to dive in.
But here's the twist...
Even the most well-planned renovation can spiral out of control faster than you can say “budget blowout.” Ask James and his partner, who were knee-deep in their bathroom remodel when the classic reno stress kicked in.
Without a solid plan and clear communication with your trades, things can (and usually do) get messy. In their words:
“Public service announcement: the Reno app is a godsend for anyone planning a bathroom refurb.”
James and his partner turned to Reno, our app, to navigate the chaos - and it made all the difference.
The Problem
They had their plumber ready to go, but there was a gap between their vision and actually making it happen. Visualising the space, keeping track of details, and communicating with the tradespeople felt like they were constantly juggling - until they found Reno.
“It's the only thing that has kept this project at all on track,” James shared. And when you're dealing with a house from the 1800s? That's no small feat.
Reno gave them what most home renovators only dream of - a proper plan. With our app, they had something to show their builder that made sense. No more guessing, no more miscommunication.
“It made speaking to tradespeople so much easier,” says James, who used the app to keep everyone on the same page. That dreaded game of “I thought you said…?” Completely avoided.
They were also able to visualise the final result before a single tile was laid. Because let's face it, trying to describe your ideal bathroom over WhatsApp is a disaster waiting to happen.
The Results
Reno wasn't just a tool - it was their sanity saver. From building the initial plan to showing their contractor exactly what they meant, James and his partner stayed in control.
“Totally saved us!”
No surprise extra bills, no awkward conversations. Just a smooth, stress-free reno, exactly how it should be. Would they recommend it?
“Wholeheartedly.”
And that's the kind of reno win we love to see.
