How can I update this old, cold walk-in bathroom on a budget?
My walk-in bathroom is as old as the house I recently bought. The ancient pink ceramic tiles are falling off the wall (actual back of the built-in wardrobes) and the vanity and basin are cracked. How can I update and revamp on a budget?

id change the tiles because the chances are slim that you would find the same ones. Go with dirty white tiles i think it would suit your bathroom more. the next thing you can do is buy a mirror (christmas is near so you can get a discount).
1st, i look for clearance items. I too would remain old tiles. Check to see if there is any water damage and any insulation. Old houses often have little to no insulation. Price out a combination fan/heater combination. If you replace the flooring consider installing a heated a flooring heated. Good luck to you. I love updating on a budget.
Habitat for Humanity has tiles, and vanities very reasonable. Go to a discontinued or overstock warehouse and see what they have.
I would take the tiles off and retile. Take the tiles off the wall,and get some beadboard from Home depot. They carry a varathane bead board that works in the bathroom. I used that. Then repaint and tile the floor.
can you post more pictures ?
If the suite is damaged, replace it with good reclaimed suite and then either re-stick your tiles or remove all or at least half and use Bathroom paper or paint the top half of your walls strong Bright colours will warm it up! Go Tropical?
