Installing A Bathtub Liner Can Make All The Difference

While some homeowners might consider an all-out renovation, there are still other options that can bring about a better look and feel to the bathroom. Installing a bathtub liner is one such option that can both redesign the bathroom and save the homeowner time and money.

Installing a bathtub liner is a much more affordable option because there is no need to remove the old bathtub. This may be a better idea than replacing the bathtub because doing so requires more time and money. Instead, a bathtub liner is a quick fix that fits right over the existing tub. This can be done in less than a day and does not require the expertise of a plumber, as such in cases of installing new bathroom fixtures. A liner is installed using a very strong industrial glue.

When the liner needs to be replaced, it must be cut out, which damages the bathtub even more. Therefore, a tub with minor scratches or damage can simply be refinished. Bathtub liners are also made with custom colors and designs that can help create a new look to the bathroom. Likewise, many older bathroom might be designed with certain color schemes that are outdated, and a bathtub liner can help create a look with more modern and neutral colors.

Bathtub liners can be designed with many options in mind. First, they can be made of either acrylic or pvc. Both materials are durable, non-porous, and cost effective. These are the same type of materials used to make pipes and other bathroom fixtures. Other options for a liner include color and mold. For instance, many homeowners will choose to install a bathtub liner because they can be molded into different designs that can add to the overall appeal of the room.

Adding a touch of color to the liner can have the same effect. Installing a bathtub liner is easy, but it is a process that can take a few weeks to complete. During an in-home estimate a contractor must measure the dimensions of the existing tub in order to create a mold that fits correctly. The contractor will then discuss the design and mold options with the homeowner to find an appropriate liner.

Remodeling the bathroom doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. Installing bathroom liners over the existing bathroom features can add a totally new look to any bathroom.
