Time To Replace Your Bathtub or Shower

The bathroom is one of the most utilized spaces in your home, and a fully functioning shower or bathtub is critical to your daily routine. Signs that indicate it’s time to replace your bathtub or shower include:

Stubborn Mold or Mildew

If mold or mildew keeps returning even after deep cleaning, it might indicate a more significant problem, such as excess moisture trapped in your tiles or drain. This is a clear sign that replacement might be necessary.

Persistent Leaks

We can repair leaks, but if they keep sprouting back up, it may indicate more serious structural problems that a new installation could fix.

Difficult To Clean

If your tub or shower is increasingly hard to clean or remains stained or discolored despite your best efforts, this might be a sign that the material is worn out and needs replacement.

Cracks & Chips

These could lead to leaks and harbor bacteria and mold. If there are visible cracks and chips in your tub or shower, it may be time for a new one.

Inefficient or Outdated Design

If your tub or shower no longer matches your bathroom aesthetics or doesn’t accommodate your needs (e.g., you prefer showers but have a bathtub), consider a replacement.

Water Accumulation

If water isn’t draining correctly, it could lead to severe problems down the line, such as water damage and mold growth.

Fluctuating Water Temperature

If your shower can’t maintain a steady temperature, it could indicate an issue with your plumbing that may warrant a complete shower replacement.
