Findings from a survey of 2043 UK homeowners on Houzz about their recent or planned master bathroom renovation projects
Houzz Research
HIGH-TECH UPDATES: 16% of upgraded showers, 11% of upgraded toilets and 6% of upgraded baths and in renovated bathrooms are equipped with at least one high-tech feature.

TIME FOR TECH: More than half (52%) of renovating homeowners spend 30-60 minutes a day in their home bathrooms. This includes spending time on their mobile devices — 52% of renovating homeowners use their mobile devices in their bathrooms at least once a week, checking emails, texting, using social media, listening to music or reading.

REACHING THE BREAKING POINT: Many homeowners are done with their dated, aging bathrooms – no longer being able to stand the old one is one of the top triggers for starting a bathroom renovation (31%). Nearly a third are also tackling a bathroom that is breaking down (28%).

SUPERSIZING THE SHOWER: While nearly a third of bathroom renovators are increasing their bathroom size (29%), nearly three quarters are increasing the size of their shower (76%)

PROFESSIONAL HIRING ON THE RISE: Nine in ten homeowners enlisted or will enlist the help of a professional during their 2015-2016 bathroom projects, with two in five renovating homeowners upgrading bathrooms that were previously renovated 16 years or more ago (42%).
