If the thought of bathroom remodeling inconvenience makes you cringe, consider the express remodeling services that promise you a beautiful bathroom makeover in just one day. Whether you want to get rid of that ugly tub entirely, or just want to make it look like a new tub in a clean enclosure, you can rid yourself of bathroom eyesores while you're at work, and shower in your new and improved bathroom the next morning.
Speedy Bathroom Tub to Shower Conversions
A one-day bathtub to shower conversion replaces the ugly blot on your bathroom landscape with a beautiful new shower enclosure. Style and color choices abound; you can even find tiles that look like granite. Starting with a shower base that perfectly fits your pre-existing space, the shower remodeling adds custom-fit wall installations and accessories. Family members who have difficulty getting in and out of the tub will appreciate the convenience of a shower conversion that includes a shower seat, grab bars, and adjustable shower head. Your new bathroom shower enclosure should maintain its beauty indefinitely, since it's dent-proof and impact resistant.
Tub Liners: Bathroom's Instant Remodeling Trick
Chipped, rust-stained, scratched, and worn tub finishes aren't just eyesores, they're germ-breeding health hazards, too. A scratch- and chip-resistant bathtub liner, cast to fit your existing tub, rids you of your bathroom problem in just hours. Since you're refinishing your tub and not re-plumbing it, you're remodeling only what you need to remodel. Compared to the cost of tearing out the old tub, purchasing a new one, and adding new fixtures, purchasing a bathtub liner represents a significant savings. Popular Mechanics estimates the cost of a liner at $600-$800, whereas full scale remodels can easily run $5000 or more, depending on where you live.
Bathtub liners are nothing new. They've been used in large scale hotel remodels for decades. In fact, Re-Bath, the one-day bathroom remodeling company, has just celebrated its 25th year in business. If you're sick of your ugly tub, consider the time-tested option of remodeling before you replace it.
