Clear Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Bathtub

Nothing beats soaking in a warm, luxurious bath after a long, tiring day.  However, if your tub is old and grimy, this won’t be half as appealing. Today, The Bathroom Store  discusses the clear signs it’s time to plan for a tub replacement.

Stubborn Stains

Stains on the tub or sink installation don’t just detract from the elegant look of the fixture; they’re also a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and germs. Most people can’t relax in a tub with stains, and for good reason. If these stubborn stains resist all your cleaning efforts, it might be time to plan for a tub replacement.

Leakage

This is one of the worst issues your bathtub can face. The problem is often hard to fix and can even result in the spread of mold and mildew. Repairing the issue will be costly, so getting a tub replacement may make more sense.

Difficult to Use

Using your bathtub should be about relaxation and pleasure. If you struggle to climb in or out of your bathtub, this isn’t just inconvenient–it’s also a safety hazard. You might want to seek a more accessible alternative if you find yourself having a hard time getting in and out of your bathtub.

Tips on Choosing a New Bathtub

Do your research on material options as your choice of tub material will have a big impact on the price, durability and cleanability of your new tub. Fiberglass and acrylic are good options because they offer design flexibility and are relatively lightweight.

You also need to consider the configuration of the bathroom, as not all tubs will fit properly in your space. Some tubs must be installed adjacent to three walls, while others can stand alone.
