3 Reasons to Not Delay Your Bathroom Remodel

At HomePride, we understand that a bathroom remodel is a big investment.  We are a locally owned business serving all of Colorado, including the Front Range, the Western Slope, the Eastern Plains, the Central Mountains, and Wyoming.

Here are 3 reasons why you should not delay your bath remodel:

1. Safety Risk

Bathrooms are the #1 place for accidents in your home.  If you are aged 65 and older, you will be shocked to know that UCLA Health reports up to 80% of falls in the home occur in the bathroom, and 66% of all bathroom injuries occur while in the tub or shower.  By updating your shower/bath space to include non-slip surfaces, low thresholds, grab bars, and other safety features, you can lower the risk of injury and Live with Grace® in your home.   Some of the most common upgrades Colorado homeowners are making include:

  • Low-threshold walk-in-showers
  • Shower seats
  • Multiple grab bars
  • Walk-in baths
  • Anti-scald shower valves
  • Lever-handled faucets
  • Slide bar hand-held shower fixture for sitting and standing
  • Higher toilets with no-slam seats and lids
  • Family safety package

2. Reduced Value

It is crucial to maintain your home aesthetically and functionally.  An outdated bathroom could affect your asking price if you are going to sell, or cause costly maintenance issues that simply become a headache and reduce the enjoyment of your home.  The good news is you don't have to gut your bathroom to the studs to increase its value or enjoyment.

According to the Journal of Light Construction's 2024 Cost vs Value Report, even a mid-range bath remodel will recoup 73% of the cost back into a home's value!

You can update or convert a shower or bathtub, or do a midrange remodel including a new shower, sinks, vanities, toilet, and flooring in just a couple of days.  That is a minimal interruption for maximum gain.

3.  It's Faster Than You Think

If you think you will have to do without your bathroom for a couple of weeks during a replacement, you are going to be pleasantly surprised!  Standard bath or shower replacements can be done in as little as one day.  Old tubs can be removed without disturbing the rest of your bathroom and replaced by a brand new, safe, and beautiful solid surface shower. So say goodbye to your old bath at breakfast, because by dinner, you will be reveling in your new luxury shower space.

If your shower needs a facelift or you want to learn about design options, call HomePride Bath by downloading our contact information to your phone or device, or visit our website for details.  We have years of experience in bathroom remodels, and our team of professionals can help make sure your shower looks great for years to come.
