So how do you tell when it’s time to replace that aging tub or shower? Here are a few tips from the team at RIHI to look for that ensures your tub/shower continues to not only look beautiful but also meets all your performance needs.
Leaky tub or shower
Look for leaks in your tub or shower that can lead to expensive water damage over time. If you’ve noticed a leak, it’s best to consult a contractor to help prevent future damage.
Cracks
Cracks in your tub or shower are not only unsightly, but they can also lead to leaks and cause mold and mildew growth.
Mold and Mildew Growth
Mold and mildew are not only nasty looking, but they can be hazardous to your health and requires immediate attention. This growth can mean a possible leak, and once again a leak can be a sign of more significant damage
Functionality
This is where you need to consider your personal needs. For example, perhaps you’re at a point where a walk-in shower might be easier to enter and exit than your existing tub.
