In this installment, we’ll be discussing five different ways to determine between bathtub replacement and bathtub remodeling. If you feel that your current bathtub just isn’t serving you as well as it once did, it’s time for you to buy a new model. You don’t have to go out and spend thousands of dollars to make your bathroom look better. All you have to do is invest in a few dollars and in less than a week you can completely redesign your tub.
A new bathtub replacement is the cheapest option for most homeowners. Not only is it the quickest route to a brand new tub, but it’s also the most popular. Unfortunately, bathtub replacement doesn’t always cut it, and homeowners often try to use a tried-and-true bathtub remodeler to create a successful update. Instead, what usually happens is a bathtub remodel adds a cheap piece of cabinetry to the existing bathtub and then offers to install the cabinet for you. Problem is, because they don’t properly fit the tub, the new cabinet often looks out of place and even leaves portions of the bathtub exposed.
Another alternative is to look into something like a faucet and bathtub renovation. While this may seem like a less expensive choice than a full bathtub replacement, it still doesn’t give you the same thing you’d get with a full remodel. With faucet and bathtub renovation, you can add all sorts of fancy features without having to completely replace your existing bathtub. These options include new bathtubs, new faucets, new fixtures, and even spa jets. The problem with this type of renovation is that the fixture looks out of place in the bathroom and often damages your tub.
The final option for a bathtub remodel is something called reglazing. When you reglay new bathtub floors or walls, you are basically replacing an existing bathtub with a new piece of material that looks just like the old one but costs significantly less. Reglazing is the process of adding a layer of new material to the surface of your bathtub. Some of the most popular materials used for reglazing are fiberglass, slate, ceramic tile, and granite. If you want a really nice finish, you can even put in a coating of black marble around your bathtub and shower stall.
When you’re looking into bathtub replacement, these are the three most common methods used. However, there are also more expensive methods available if you want a truly unique look or if you have special needs. It’s important to talk to a qualified professional to determine which method is right for you. Even if you decide that a bathtub replacement is the best option for your bathroom, there is no reason that you shouldn’t explore all of your options.
A bathtub replacement project is something that requires patience, planning, and experience. Even though it may seem like a simple task, the job of replacing your bathtub can be quite challenging and not something that you should try doing yourself. Ask a trusted professional to help you plan the job so that you can be sure that it is done right the first time. And even if you do it yourself, don’t take on the project alone. It requires a number of people to successfully complete a bathtub replacement job.
