You might need a new bathtub if you're noticing leaks, cracks, or stains that just won't come out. Most tubs last around 20 years, but acrylic and fiberglass ones might only last 10 to 15 years. If mold or mildew has become a problem, or if your tub feels outdated or isn't as accessible as you'd like, it could be time for a replacement. Taking care of these issues now can prevent bigger problems later, like water damage, and make your bathroom a safer, more comfortable space.
You should install your tub in a location that complements your bathroom's layout, plumbing connections, and personal preferences. Consider placing it near existing plumbing to minimize installation costs. Many homeowners position their tubs to take advantage of natural light or scenic outdoor views, enhancing relaxation. Ensure there's sufficient space around the tub for easy access and safety, especially if accessibility is a concern. Ultimately, the ideal spot is where the tub fits seamlessly with your bathroom design and provides the most comfort and convenience for your needs.
Yes, you can refinish your tub if it's structurally sound but has surface imperfections like scratches, chips, or stains. Refinishing costs $330 to $630, depending on the material, and is a cost-effective alternative to full replacement. The process involves repairing any damage and applying a new coating, giving your tub a refreshed appearance. While refinishing can extend the life of your bathtub and restore its look, it's a temporary solution and may need to be redone every few years to maintain its condition. It's ideal for tubs in good shape that need a cosmetic update.
Replacing a bathtub takes just one or two days if you hire a pro to handle the job. They'll remove the old tub and install the new one efficiently. If you're considering doing it yourself, be prepared for it to take much longer—possibly up to a month. That's because you'll need to remove the old tub and drywall, install the new tub, repair the walls, and maybe tackle new tiling. Weigh the time commitment against potential cost savings to decide what's best for you.
