We utilize our bathrooms multiple times throughout the course of an average day. With this high usage in mind, our bathroom fixtures will eventually wear out and need replacing, especially for homeowners that don't want to lose any of the functionality necessary for proper hygiene in these spaces.
Leaf Home Bath is an experienced bathroom remodeling company that has remodeled over 13,000 bathrooms since we first opened our doors back in 2001. As experts on bathtub and shower installations, we know what our customers should be looking for if they're wondering if the time has come for them to replace their old fixtures and get a beautifully-remodeled bathroom.
The Appearance of Your Tub or Shower Has Faded
One of the first indicators that your current bathtub or shower may need replacing is that it appears worn out. Some noticeable signs of an outdated fixture include:
- Water Stains
- Cracking or Chipping
- Peeling Paint
- Missing Grout
These may just sound like minor inconveniences that you don't mind dealing with, but there's a chance that the presence of one of these issues is actually a sign that you have larger problems at play, such as water leaks, corrosion, mold or mildew growth, or structural problems.
Even the highest-quality bathtub or shower will eventually reach a day where it no longer scrubs clean and you can't keep the mold away. When your fixture can't get back to its original baseline, a bathroom remodel featuring a new tub or shower is your best option.
Your Tub or Shower Isn't Functioning Well For You
Just because your bathtub or shower turns on and allows you to clean yourself doesn't mean it's high-functioning. If you hear water continually running even when you aren't using a bathroom fixture, or there's a constant dripping from a faucet, you could be paying a significantly higher amount on your monthly water bills than you should be. Getting a new bathtub or shower from a skilled installation company will actually save you money in the long run by lowering your utility payments.
Another functionality factor to consider is storage. Do you wish your current bathroom had more storage space? Design features tend to get more efficient over time, taking up less space to bring us the same performance. An easy way to update the storage space in your bathroom could be through a remodel featuring fixtures with sleeker designs that will naturally free up more space for other things, like:
- A Small Vanity
- Open Shelving
- Additional Cabinets
Your Bathroom No Longer Has that Fresh Feeling
Bathrooms are meant to feel airy and refreshing, but over time, all bathrooms will hit a point eventually where they no longer feel completely clean and fresh, regardless of how much time you put in cleaning, or how often you run your exhaust fan or open a window.
Walk into your bathroom, and see if you can notice:
- Humidity Lingering in the Air
- Fixtures That Always Appear Lackluster
- An Unwanted Odor
When your bathroom starts feeling more like a locker room and less like a refreshing oasis, you may want to consider a bathroom remodel to restore it to the fresh, clean space that you deserve.
Leaf Home Bath sources all of our replacement bathtubs and showers from name brands that we trust to engineer fixtures that won't easily chip or crack, resist the growth of mold and mildew, and require minimal upkeep to appear fresh and clean for decades to come.
