When homeowners want to improve their bathtubs, they often think their only option is a new replacement tub. However, there are various ways to update an old bathtub without investing in a replacement.
As an experienced bathroom remodeling team, we know many ways to update an old bathtub. This article will cover the best ways to update an old bathtub in your home.
Replace bathtub fixtures
One simple way to add modern design to your bathtub is to replace the bathtub fixtures. If you have an older bathtub model, it probably has a faucet that was a popular design trend many years ago.
For modern design trends, you can install a matte black faucet and drain stopper for your bathtub. These fixtures create a sophisticated look that matches all bathtub designs.
If you don’t want to replace your bathtub fixtures, you can deep clean them to restore their shine. You can turn old fixtures into attractive details for your bathroom.
Add accessibility features
As we get older, our mobility decreases, and bathing in a standard bathtub becomes more difficult. Fortunately, there are a wide range of accessibility features you can add to a standard bathtub.
Some of the most popular accessibility features you can add to your home are:
- grab bars
- Built-in seats
- safety bars
Refinish your bathtub
Has the bathtub caused stains affecting its appearance? If this is your bathtub, you can bring your bathtub back to life with a complete refinishing service. The refinishing process involves sanding off the older surface to reveal the brighter, whiter finish underneath.
After sanding is complete, a fresh coat of epoxy is added to seal the bathtub to handle many years of use. Before you decide to replace your bathtub, you must first determine if your bathtub is a candidate for refinishing service.
New surround bathroom installation
If your bathtub is in good shape, but you want to update the design, you should consider a new bathroom surround. You can customize the bathroom surround to match your bathroom design and be an essential part of the space.
Whether you want a bathroom accented in a neutral color or something a little more exciting, you can work with a bathroom remodeling company for the project. Bath surrounds help personalize your bathtub and make it more personal in your bathroom.
