Savvy Home Bargains shopper 'fully refreshes' bathroom for less than £13

One savvy Home Bargains customer was able to transform the look of their bathroom for just over £10 — and other shoppers have been quick to share their thoughts.

The budget retailer sells self-adhesive vinyl floor tiles in a variety of colours and patterns that can be stuck to the ground by hand.

According to the Home Bargains website, the product is "simple to cut, lay and clean and can be applied with no mess, dirt or grouting".

The product listing also states that it id "perfect for updating a room easily and cheaply" — which one customer demonstrated first-hand.

Taking to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, she wrote: "Thank you to who posted the 1.99 tiles in Home Bargains! Full bathroom refresh for less than £13! (Haven’t siliconed yet) Bargain!"

Before long, the post had received more than 1,600 likes — and nearly 600 comments from fellow consumers sharing their thoughts.

One user wanted to know how many tiles were in each pack, to which the original posted responded that there were "5 for 1.99".

One commented: "They don’t stick properly I had them on 5 minutes and they was comin up ect so binned them now m floor s sticky as hell!"

"It looks good when you first put it down after a while it looks a mess an starts to move," a second agreed.
