Wondering If You Should Update Your Bathroom? Here's Our Top Signs You Need a Remodel!

Most people hesitate to get started on a bathroom remodel due to budget or timeline concerns. This oftentimes results in folks waiting until the last possible minute to call a contractor, when fixtures are breaking and there's potential for structural damage underneath.

There are many signs to look out for that your bathroom needs updating long before you're at risk for serious damage. Bath Pros, a seasoned bathroom remodeler servicing Nebraska and Colorado, has 13+ years of experience delivering high-quality bathroom renovations, and recommends scheduling a remodel when you notice any of the issues listed below.

Persistent Mold & Mildew

Mold and mildew thrive in high humidity and moisture, making any bathroom an ideal breeding grounds for the unwanted fungi. You may be able to scrub away isolated spots of mold or mildew while your fixtures and products are new, but these organisms will continue to return as the protective finishes on your tub or shower start to wear off. If you ignore the mold growth in your bathroom, you could be as risk for personal health or structural issues like:

  • Respiratory Problems
  • Allergic Reactions
  • Skin & Eye Irritation
  • Drywall Deterioration
  • Weakened Framework

Insufficient Storage Space

If you share your bathroom with other family members, you already know how fast storage space can get used up. Even if you have a personal bathroom, it can be hard to find spots to stow away all the towels, bath and shower products, personal care items, medication, cleaning supplies and more that belong in this room.

If your bathroom feels disheveled and disorganized no matter what you do, consider getting a bathroom remodel to upgrade your storage space. Some solutions your contractor might suggest include:

  • Recessed Shelving
  • Above-the-Toilet Storage
  • Medicine Cabinet
  • Built-In Bench
  • Over-the-Door Organizers

Ineffective Layout & Functionality

Even if the fixtures and appliances in your bathroom seem to be in good condition, we suggest a bathroom remodel if the layout makes it difficult to maneuver around or you aren't getting the functionality you want. Because we spend so much time utilizing our bathrooms, your daily routine could improve significantly after a bathroom conversion. 

If you want a more relaxing and tranquil space, consider a shower-to-tub conversion to give you the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Or, if you want access to a quick option for rinsing off, a tub-to-shower conversion will bring you the convenience you're after.

Concerns Around Safety

As we age, we grow more concerned about the chances of slipping and falling while getting into or out of the bathtub. Instead of continuing to try and get by with an inaccessible bathroom, you deserve to have it remodeled to better suit your needs and preferences. 

Find a local contractor that offers ADA-compliant bathroom solutions, such as walk-in tubs. Walk-in tubs have hinged doorways, so you won't have to lift your feet up and over a ledge in order to enter! These specialized products offer many more features to promote safety and comfort, like:

  • Built-In Seating
  • Non-Slip Flooring
  • Accessible Controls
  • Hydrotherapy Jets
  • Fast-Drain Technology
  • Safety Bars
