Are some of your bathroom fixtures old, not working well, or if we’re being honest, kind of ugly? When considering home improvements, projects don’t always need to be large-scale or expensive renovations. Our licensed plumbers at Jack Hall Plumbing & Heating can help you tackle bathroom upgrades that will give your home a fresh look, improve functionality, and even add significant value.
Here are some reasons why bathroom fixture upgrades pay off in the long run:
New Bathroom Fixtures Always Add Value
Even if you aren’t planning on putting your home on the market anytime soon, real estate agents will tell you that bathroom plumbing fixture upgrades typically generate a high return on investment when it’s time to sell. That’s because worn out fixtures make even well-designed bathrooms look tired. The good news is that installing a new sink, shower, or toilet can transform a bathroom at a fraction of what a full renovation would cost.
Enjoy Improved Functionality, Water Efficiency
Not only do new bathroom fixtures look great, but they also offer much better functionality and efficiency. There’s a wide variety of modern faucets, showerheads, and toilets that use less water but don’t compromise on performance. New low-flow toilets use less than two gallons per flush, but you won’t see any difference until you look at the water bill (spoiler alert – they save money).
Ensure Your Bathroom Isn’t a Health Hazard
Old bathrooms with worn out fixtures can create safety and health concerns. Upgrades to the plumbing address leaks that cause mold, and a new exhaust fan can reduce moisture. Also, replacing old, corroded pipes with PEX or copper can improve overall water quality. To help fight bathroom germs, there are plenty of antimicrobial material options, such as copper, brass, or quartz, that are non-porous and resist the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold.
Solve Chronic Plumbing Problems
Low water pressure, fluctuating water temperatures, and frustrating drips and leaks can often be blamed on outdated fixtures. By installing high-quality, modern fixtures, your bathroom plumbing system will operate more efficiently. For example, adding pressure balancing valves that address shower temperature changes whenever a toilet is flushed will make the whole family much happier.
Tub to Walk-In Shower Conversions are Practical
Making the change to a walk-in shower offers several advantages. Not only does it modernize your bathroom, but a conversion also makes the space feel bigger and also promotes accessibility for individuals with mobility issues. Walk-in showers with seamless or grout-free surfaces are also easier to clean than traditional bathtubs. The updated look and feel also has the potential to increase the home’s value in a future sale.
Consider a Modern Vanity to Optimize Space
Even if you aren’t selling your home, modern vanities with features such as double sinks, ample storage, and good lighting can make a bathroom more practical, and experts say they do provide a good return on investment. For homeowners, the most value is the storage space vanities offer, especially in smaller bathrooms. A combination of shallow and deep drawers, pull-out and adjustable shelves, and other innovative storage solutions will help store things neatly.
