If your bathroom needs an update, there are various options to consider. At Bath Fitter, when an estimator comes to your home, he or she will explain all the choices available to you – even those that aren’t offered by our company. As many homeowners know, costs for various renovation projects – no matter where in the home they’re done – can vary widely.
For bathroom renovation, typically the most expensive option is a complete remodeling. What does that involve? It means the customer selecting a contractor out of the potentially hundreds out there. If often involves a redesign of the floor plan. Then, be prepared to lose the use of the bathroom for many days – even weeks – as workers tear out the old bathtub, toilet or sink and haul them away. Expect plenty of noise and disruption as the old wall tiles and flooring are ripped out. Then allow time for the relocation of the plumbing, installation of new fixtures, and most likely, a whole new paint job.
Alternately, customers just looking for a surface makeover, might consider a bathtub reglazing. This is when your existing bathtub is painted over. But this solution is only temporary, and what’s more, it is not without complications. Surrounding areas have to be masked off to protect from overspray. The house will need to be ventilated thoroughly to remove fumes. The bathtub will take time to cure before it can be used. Moreover, the new tub surface is fragile and needs special care.
Given the high cost of the first option – complete remodeling – and the short lifespan of the second option – reglazing, not to mention the disruptions caused by both processes, here at Bath Fitter we’re confident that when customers fully understand our one-day bath remodelling process, they make it their preferred choice. Bath Fitter can install a new tub, shower base or wall-system over the top of old fixtures quickly, and best of all, the end result is a beautiful new bathroom that’s built to last.
