When Should I Replace My Tub?
If you’re like most homeowners, then you’re probably trying to live with your outdated bathtub for as long as possible so you can avoid a costly renovation project. This approach may work for a little while, but eventually, you’re going to have to bite the bullet and replace your bathtub.
Here are some telltale signs that it’s time to move forward with a bathtub replacement project:
Leaks
A leaky bathtub can lead to all types of problems, including damage to flooring and cabinets, and mold growth. If your bathtub is leaking, you don’t want to put off having it replaced.
Cracks
A crack in your bathtub is not only an eyesore and a safety hazard, but can also signal that a leak isn’t too far behind.
Excessive Mold & Mildew Growth
If you’re losing the battle against mold and mildew, it’s time to think about your family’s health. You can use special cleaners designed to combat mold and mildew, but if they return quickly, it’s likely time to replace the tub.
Stains
Most bathtubs are a light color, so stains tend to stand out. If your tub has severe stains that can’t be removed using cleaning products, it’s time to consider a replacement.
Safety Concerns
Stepping over a high bathtub threshold can be tricky, especially for anyone who’s dealing with mobility issues.If your safety has become a concern, you may want to consider replacing your bathtub with a walk-in tub featuring a low entry threshold.
