You utilize your bathroom daily. This constant use leads to natural wear and tear of various fixtures and appliances. Bathrooms can deteriorate over time. An outdated bathroom is not only an eyesore but can also be dangerous to your health and could cost you over time. While bathroom remodels can be a significant investment, they can be worth it in the long run.
Signs It’s Time To Remodel
Most bathroom fixtures and plumbing are designed to last years, especially with proper maintenance. However, it is natural to experience a breakdown in the quality of your fixtures due to consistent use. Common signs that it may be time to consider a remodel may include the following:
- Stains, peeling, or missing grout – Some bathroom issues, such as peeling and cracking, may initially seem insignificant. However, these minor issues can progress into larger issues that could lead to structural damage. These issues can be extremely costly to repair. If you’ve already done the smaller maintenance steps, such as caulking the grout, it may be time to discuss options with a professional.
- Leaks, running water, high water bills – Plumbing issues can be sneaky in that they appear minor or non-existent to the naked eye. A small drip from a faucet may feel like no big deal until your utility bill comes in. Leaks can happen within your home’s walls, so a higher-than-usual water bill can be a warning sign of a serious leak problem.
- Mold and mildew – Bathrooms should be well-ventilated to help prevent the risk of mold and mildew growth. Mold and mildew can deteriorate your fixtures, walls, and flooring. Mold and mildew also pose a serious health risk for everyone in the home.
- Outdated fixtures or designs – A great reason to remodel is to bring in the modern feel and conveniences now available with most bathroom fixtures. Up-to-date fixtures are safer, more convenient, and elevate the appeal of the bathroom space. Outdated fixtures are often less efficient, which costs you more in monthly utility bills.
