Clogged sink can cause embarrassment as well as an odor in bathrooms. However, this problem can often be taken care of with a plunger, a homemade solution and/or a snake. Often if you pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain, followed by boiling water, you can plunge the problem out. If not, a snake will often do the trick in your bathroom. DIY is usually not only the cheapest but the most rewarding way to deal with a simple bathroom repair project like this.
Dripping faucet is a simple but common problem in many bathrooms and one that usually requires nothing more than a new washer. First thing to do is turn off the water supply valves under your sink. With an adjustable wrench, remove the faucet handles so you can see and remove the washer. Once it's replaced, put the handles back on, turn your water supply on and the leak should be fixed. You may have to call a plumber but this is usually a simple project in most bathrooms.
A running toilet is not only annoying but can waste energy in your bathroom. DIY toilet kits will usually fix the problem in most bathrooms. The float in your toilet needs either to be replaced or fixed so the water level is not so high. Floats are inexpensive and easy to install. Once you shout off the water supply to your toilet, you can easily have your toilet fixed in a matter of minutes!
