Up grading your bathrooms is one of the wisest investment decisions you could make to increase the value of your home. Home buyers these days are just as interested in luxury bathrooms with all bells and whistles and, when faced with a choice of two similar sized homes in the same area, don't mind paying extra for the one with the glamorous bathrooms. Even something as simple as a bath tub remodel can give your old bathroom a new lease of life. Always decide on a bath remodeling plan that takes into consideration your space constraints, as well as your budget. Your bathroom should be in sync with the rest of the house, when it comes to theme and décor.
Besides your tub, your bath shower is the most prominent fixture in the bath, and therefore, you should choose the right kind of shower after careful planning. A newly reinstalled shower at a different point, perhaps close to a source of natural light can put your new shower firmly under the spotlight. The newest craze that is hitting the bathroom shower remodel industry like a jet of cold water, is the stationary dual shower head system. Here, a single water line is connected to two shower heads that allow you double the amount of water from two separate angles. This ensures a rejuvenating shower experience that allows you to enjoy blasts of deliciously warm water all over. These heads can be adjusted to direct the water jet stream at any part of a body.
While a shower is a practical and time efficient bathing option, there is nothing to beat the luxury of a luxurious soak in a bath tub. When it comes to bath tub styles, there are more styles than you can choose from. The traditional recessed system that has only one side visible is installed to fit within 3 walls. A corner tub is installed between two walls. A free standing tub can be placed just anywhere in the bathroom you want. These can come in the form of vintage looking claw foot tubs, or sophisticated modern visions in granite and marble. Besides, there are whirlpool tubs, and Jacuzzi style tubs with hundreds of tiny jets that shoot out water at high pressure to provide an intensely relaxing experience. If you are looking at a whirlpool tub, you will need a dedicated water heater and electrical circuit.
I am selling my house. I need to replace my whirlpool tub in my master bath. It is a corner whirlpool tub that is 60 inches by 60 inches. It is 18.5 inches tall. I have seen a nearly identical tub at Lowes (but it is 22 inches tall). Please provide an estimate for replacing my tub or installing the tub from Lowes.
