Preparing for a bathroom remodeling project is a lot like preparing to buy a car. You may know
the bathroom and style you want, but the options you choose may drive the price higher than you can
reasonably afford. But there are ways to stretch the remodeling budget and end up with stylish results within
budget.
-
Consider reglazing a tub instead of replacing it, especially if it is still in relatively
good condition. This can save you more than half the cost of a tub replacement and minimize the dust at
the same time.
-
Cultured marble sheets are a good choice for tub surrounds, instead of ceramic tile. You
will save considerably on labor costs and the marble sheets are much easier to clean.
-
Fiberglass surrounds are also less costly than tile.
-
Examine how you are utilizing space. You may be able to steal some space from a neighboring
room or closet. If your overall space is limited, purchase a jetted tub and shower combination or install
a pedestal lavatory instead of a vanity cabinet with a sink. Understand that while pedestal lavatories do
eliminate the need for vanities and save space, some models may cost more than a separate vanity cabinet
and sink.
-
Cultured marble lavatories can be a great budget choice since it is an integrated sink bowl
and countertop sold in one easily installed unit.
-
Define what is truly needed in the bathroom. Sometimes an extra bath is planned when
installing a double sink in an existing bath would meet the need.
-
If you are going to add a large jetted tub to your project, consider adding a water heater
dedicated to that tub. A large jetted tub can hold up to an average of 75 gallons or more, which can
easily overextend your existing water heater and cause problems in the future.
