The fall is the perfect time for home upkeep and preventative maintenance. The temperatures have dropped, preventing you from enjoying too much time outdoors. The weather is not quite cold enough that it prevents you from transporting work and housing materials in and out of the home. It is the perfect weather for completing necessary home upkeep projects or for finally completing that remodel you have been planning for months. The bathroom is one of the most commonly remodeled rooms. It is also one of the most frequented rooms in the house, making it a great investment.
There are a lot of aspects of the home that can be remodeled and updated. The bathroom is probably the most used room in the house, so it is often the most worn down. Also, decorating trends for bathrooms tend to change often, quickly making your bathroom outdated. Fortunately, remodeling and updating the bathroom provides a great return on investment, as many potential home buyers look at the bathroom condition when considering purchasing a home.
The bathtub and shower is an important and necessary part of the bathroom. It is one of the most used appliances in the home. Most people take a shower every one to two days, and multiple family members may share the same shower. The shower may get a lot of usage. A new bathtub in a bathroom remodel can also make a huge difference, as it is the center of the entire bathroom look.
The bathtub refinishing cost depends on a few things. An entire brand new bathtub requires removal of the old bathtub and closing off of the water lines and water pipes. A complete bathtub install can also be a timely and extensive process. A cheaper option for a newer looking bathtub is a bathtub refinish. This can include a new tub liner or the coating of the existing bathtub. You can refinish the tub so that the coating looks new, removing any cracks or blemishes or add a new coating to recolor an outdated look. The option is often much more cost effective.
Installing a tub liner or refinishing a bathtub also provides other benefits. It reduces the amount of germs that can quickly grow in the cracks of a broken bathtub. It also makes it easier to clean the bathtub, preventing the germs and mold from growing. Refinished bathtubs are often easier to clean than the original product.
There are also significant time savings when it comes to choosing to install a tub liner or resurface an existing bathtub. Installing a brand new bath tub requires time to turn off the water, remove any piping and remove the old bathtub. A new bathtub then needs to be ordered and fitted into the existing space. It is much quicker to refinish the existing tub. In fact, bathtub reglazing typically takes only 3 to 4 hours and will cure in about 24 hours.
Replacement and tile removal or any broken tiles can also improve the overall look of the bathroom. Broken tiles are breeding grounds for germs and mold. Replacing individual ceramic tile pieces is simple and will increase the value of the home, as well.
The fall is a great time for completing necessary home repairs and room remodels. The bathroom is one of the most frequented rooms in the home, often causing it to show wear and tear earlier. It is also one of the easiest to repair and update. Homeowners wanting to update their bathroom on a low budget can install a tub liner or refinish their existing bathtub. They can also remove and replace any broken or worn tiles. These minor repairs can increase the value of the home and update the entire look of the bathroom.
