Bathroom Remodeling on a Shoestring

If your bathroom is in need of a makeover but your pocketbook disagrees, we’ve got some great tips to help you remodel your bathroom on a budget. Here at NU Tub in Springfield, IL, we understand that people need to prioritize their spending. We always work closely with our clients to ensure our refinishing services meet their needs, budgets, and timelines.

1) Refinish the Tub or Add a Liner

Replacing a bathtub is an expensive and lengthy undertaking. It typically requires demo, removal, hauling, installation of the new tub and surround or tile work, drywalling, painting, and more. By opting for our tub refinishing services, you’ll save a ton of money, and the job will be done in a day. Plus, with our quality refinishing process, we’ll make your tub look like new, and the finish should last another 10-20 years.

In some cases, we find that installing a bathtub liner over your existing tub is a better option than refinishing. The liner simply goes over top of what’s there now, and you can’t even tell there’s a liner.

2) Don’t Pull Out the Tile; Refinish It

Floor tiles, wall tiles, backsplashes, and countertops that are outdated or damaged can be repaired and refinished in the same way as the bathtub. Hooray for not having to remove 17,891 tiny square tiles off the bathroom floor!

3) Price Out Your Cabinet and Vanity Options

In a small bathroom, replacing a tiny vanity or cabinet may be a cost-effective option. This is particularly true if it is not anchored to the floor or if it is very damaged. If you have a solid wood vanity that just needs to be updated, you can save some money by having the cabinets refinished and changing out the hardware. Also keep in mind that if your current vanity is anchored to the floor, removing it will damage the floor and could add more expenses to your remodeling project.
