4 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Replacement Bathtub

There are a number of things that can go wrong when you don’t plan your bathtub replacement project properly. And when that happens, you’ll be compromising the comfort and safety of yourself and your family. Total Bath Systems shares four mistakes you should avoid when choosing a replacement bathtub.

1. Buying the wrong size. The size of your new bathtub matters a lot. The people who will use the bathroom should be taken into consideration. While an extremely large bathtub seems nice, it may not be comfortable for people who are on the shorter side. Additionally, the size of your bathroom should also be something that you think about. If you’re looking for a bathtub for a small bathroom, then a large tub would make the space look cramped and small.

2. Ignoring functionality. Many homeowners prioritize the look of their bathtub before its functionality. While one bathtub style looks nice, it may not be the best style for you and your family. Make sure to think about the features you want to include before settling on a decision.

3. Forgetting the maintenance costs. The level of required upkeep should also be considered when choosing a bathtub. You may find some bathtub materials that are difficult to clean. Make sure you think about cleaning and maintenance when choosing a bathtub.

4. Getting the wrong look. A bathtub may look good when you’re shopping for it, but it may overwhelm the entire space once installed. Make sure to think about how the bathtub will blend in with the other elements of your bathroom, such as the vanity, countertop and toilet.
