Signs You Need to Replace Your Tub

To replace the tub or not to replace? That is the question that many homeowners face when remodeling their bathrooms. And while a tub replacement can be a hefty investment, it can also greatly improve your home’s ROI, your comfort, and the overall safety of your bathroom. If you’re not sure whether or not this investment is necessary for your remodeling needs, check out this list of signs that indicate the need to replace your tub:

Cracks

A cracked tub can be uncomfortable and unsightly. It can also lead to leaks and harbor mold and mildew growth, which can make your bathtub extra slippery.

Mold & Mildew Growth

Mold and mildew growth is not only unsightly but can be hazardous to your health. This growth can also indicate a tub leak, which is a major sign of damage.

Leaks

A leaky tub is pointless. What’s more, it can lead to expensive water damage over time. If you’ve noticed a leak in your bathtub, it’s best to consult with a contractor as soon as possible to ward off future damage. Your contractor may be able to provide you with alternative suggestions, too. 

It’s No Longer Meeting Your Needs

Soaking in a bath at the end of a very long day should be a relaxing experience! If you find that the ritual is no longer suiting your needs, then it may be time to invest in an upgrade. Whether that means replacing it with a new tub or converting the system into a walk-in shower, you have the right to upgrade it with something that will work for your lifestyle. For example, your bathtub may not be meeting your needs:

Aesthetically

An outdated bathroom can take away from the relaxing ambiance of a bath. So, if you’re still bathing in a baby pink tub from the ‘70s, do yourself a favor and invest in an upgrade that features a contemporary design. They even make jetted bathtubs for complete mind and body relaxation.

Functionally

Your comfort and safety should not be put on the line when taking a bath. If it’s become difficult to enter and exit your system, consider investing in a walk-in tub or a tub-to-shower conversion.
