Is it Time to Update Your Bathtub?

One of the biggest selling points of a home is the bathroom. There are many ways in which a bathroom can be updated or upgraded, and each comes with a cost. One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to add value to a home through a bathroom renovation is to update the bathtub. There are many signs that it is time to update a bathtub in a home, and home owners should heed any of these warnings before damage is done to their homes. At the end of the day, a bathtub should be viewed as an item that needs maintenance and updating every one in a while. Below are some signs and signals that it is time to update the bathtub.

The Bathtub has Trouble Draining Water

Although it can be a plumbing issue, any time a bathtub has trouble retaining or draining water it may be time to update the bathtub. One of the easiest fixes for a bathtub that can not hold water is to replace the water stopper at the bottom of the bathtub. These parts are typically under $10 and are quite easy to install. Plumbing fixtures are something that need to be fixed and updated any time there are issues in order to prevent more expensive issues down the road. If a bathtub is having trouble draining the water, it may be time to update the plumbing or have it drained. There are many different at home treatments for people that are having issues with clogged pipes.

The Bathtub is Out of Style

Another reasons to update the bathtub in a bathroom is that the bathtub is simply out of style. There are many different types of home in Livonia MI and each of the homes has its own unique style depending upon when it was built. Updating the bathtub can increase the value of the bathroom and the house overall. A good bathroom should have a style that flows together with both the colors and different decorations. A new and updated bathtub should enhance this look and feel of the bathroom and house overall.

There are Cracks Below the Bathtub

Finally, another sign that it may be time to update your bathtub or other plumbing features is that there are cracks where the plumbing fixtures meets the floor. There are many different reasons why cracks near the floor can spell future trouble, but whatever the reason for the cracks they should be fixed immediately. Many times, the bathtub can start to corrode towards the bottom where there is a lot of water so in that case it may just be easier to replace the entire bathroom. Many people in Livonia MI have had to deal with this issue due to water damage that has happened in the past. There are many reasons why a bathtub may have to be updated in a home, and the biggest take away is that homeowners take action in order to upgrade the value of their home and bathroom.Remake or remodel your bathroom and/or kitchen today with Kurtis Kitchen & Bath.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
