When Should I Change the Bathtub?

How long has your soaking tub been used? Maybe you are just remodeling the bathroom and the bathtub needs to be updated to fit the rest of the room. Check carefully for any serious signs that the bathtub needs to be replaced. After all, replacing the bathtub is not an easy task. A qualified bathtub should be fully functional, clean and practical. If your bathtub does not meet all three specific criteria, then it is time to consider replacing it with a new one.

 

 

When should the bathtub be replaced?

1. Check functionality

The most basic function of the bathtub is to maintain the water level. Do you notice a small amount (or large) puddles on the floor every time you use it? If so, your bathtub may be leaking. It may be a crack in the pipeline or the basin itself. In any case, leaks will not disappear over time-they will only get worse. If it still exists, it may damage your foundation or cause dangerous mold growth. If you find a leak, you need to replace the bathtub as soon as possible. Bathtubs are not furnishings, they are for functional purposes. If your bathtub does not work properly and reduces your usage, then it loses its value as a functional fixture in the bathroom.

 

2. Clean

In order to make the best use of bathtubs, they need to be cleaned regularly. It is always a good idea to scrub around one bathtub a week. This is very hygienic, but it is also an easy way to find problems.

 

The bathtub may become dirty, but sometimes even if the bathtub is cleaned regularly, ring stains may form around the bathtub. If it disappears after a thorough cleaning, then you are fine. If you scrub, but there are still visible stains and there is no scrubbing that can be solved, it's time to find a new bathtub. It was found that this staining is a problem due to hard water. Unfortunately, hard water can be a common problem in areas with poor water quality. If this is the case, you should try to replace the black bathtub with an enamel black bathtub to avoid this discoloration.

 

3. Practicality

Practicality is equally important for cleanliness and functionality. Bathing is not only for cleaning, but also for relaxation. Therefore, if your bathtub cannot bring you a pleasant experience, it will waste space.

 

If your bathtub is difficult to pass in and out of, you may not get the most relaxing experience while taking a bath. Or it is too small for you or other family members. Some bathtubs are just poorly placed in your bathroom setup, so maybe your bathtub is in an awkward position. If any of these problems seem to explain your current bathtub, it's time to replace it.
