When a sofa or table gets old, you replace it. When wallpaper or paint starts peeling, you repair it. But when it comes to your bathroom? Most are left clueless about fixing the linoleum-like walls or the large, hulking bathtub. If you have been looking to update the bathroom in your New Jersey home, remodeling gives it a new look. Although not a do-it-yourself project, examine the space for these qualities before contacting a New Jersey bathroom remodeling company.
Walls are the foundation of the appearance in your bathroom. A mottled appearance, cracks, or visible mold or stains makes your bathroom feel dingy and dirty. Updating your acrylic walls with new materials can give the space a significant uplift. If stains or mildew will not come off the material, contact a bathroom remodeling company in New Jersey to take out the old material and install new acrylic walls.
Acrylic is a versatile material and can have the appearance of tiles or stone. Unlike the natural materials, however, acrylic does not need regular maintenance. Instead of filling in grout or cleaning, acrylic keeps the appearance of colored tile, marble, or granite.
A bathtub or shower fixture may also show signs of wear and tear. But first, look at the imperfections on the surface of your tub or shower base. If you only see stains or small cracks, the whole fixture does not need to be torn out. Instead, a New Jersey bathroom remodeling company can fit a tub liner to your existing fixture and install it with epoxy, which fills in all spaces to provide a clean fit. The new liner blends seamlessly into your bathtub, and the fixture is now attractive and functional.
A bathtub may need to be removed or modified in other instances. If a tub is too worn and cracked, a new model should be added. If you are looking to make your bathroom ADA-compliant, a walk-in bathtub or shower base can replace your existing fixture. Additional improvements may include grab bars, a wheelchair-accessible shower base, or a shower seat in order to make the space meet ADA specifications.
