5 Questions To Ask Yourself About Tub Repairs

There's no denying how a tub repair can be a pretty stressful home improvement project to have to go through, and if you're not too careful you can end up overspending! 

We're very fortunate to have partnered up with Utah-based Beehive Plumbing to help us compile this list of 5 questions that you should ask yourself while preparing for a tub repair job, and we're confident that this type of self introspection will help guide you to the right investment decisions. 

So here are 5 questions you should be considering while you're in the process of preparing for your next tub repair job! 

Is It Possible For Your Bathtub To Be Easily Uninstalled? 

The type of tub your home has is going to play a significant factor in terms of what you should do about your tub repair job, and whether or not it's even a feasible task. There are many different bathtubs on the market that can be picked up and carried out of homes with relative ease, but on the other hand there are also countless tub types that are extremely difficult to uninstall with the assistance of a professional team. 

When it comes down to it, you might want to simply consider resurfacing your bathtub if you think it's going to be too difficult to uninstall the tub, but if it can be somewhat easily uninstalled then a full-on repair/replacement job is more possible. 

What Material Is Your Bathtub Comprised Of, And Does It Have Any Damages? 

Tubs are typically made of materials like fiberglass, steel or cast-iron, as well as many other materials. The odds are that you're considering a potential tub repair because you've noticed dings, dents and other types of damages permeating around your tub area. If you do notice visible damages, then getting a repair or replacement is probably your best bet because repairing these damages is a lot easier said than done. 

A professional plumbing team will be able to help you when it comes to thoroughly analyzing the damages around your tub and whether or not they can be properly fixed, but it's simply important to obtain these professional assessments prior to making any purchasing decisions! 

Are You Thinking Of Selling Your Property Anytime Soon? 

This is definitely a serious consideration to keep in mind for all homeowners when it comes to the sanctity of your bathtub, and you can go either way in terms of if you're planning on moving in the near future. The truth is that bathroom and kitchen upgrades and updates can go a very long way when it comes to adding to property value, so a tub repair could actually be a worthy investment that will pay itself off pretty quickly!

So if you're thinking of switching things up in your bathroom, then replacing/repairing your bathtub should definitely be towards the top of your list. 

What Is The Tile Quality Around Your Tub Like? 

The overall quality of your tile around your bathtub is always a major factor when it comes to knowing whether or not you should do a full-on bathtub repair or replacement job. This is mainly because you're more than likely going to need to replace many tiles as well, so if the tile isn't looking too good then it could also make sense to do these repair jobs and get your tiles replaced while you're at it. 

There are many times in which a home's tiles are simply old or discolored, and this is also a good reason to want to have them replaced. 

What Are Your Budgetary Limitations?

Although your budget shouldn't necessarily be your first and foremost concern, it most certainly should be one of your top considerations as you're preparing for these types of home improvement projects. There's no denying that tub repairs can be pretty pricey if not kept in check on a daily basis, so you should always plan out your budget to a tee and know exactly how much you're going to spend prior to initiating the project!
