4 Signs You Need a Prompt Bathtub Replacement

Written by Stephen Ryan | Feb 9, 2021 9:07:00 AM

Have you checked your bathtub lately? Depending on its age and overall condition, it might be due for a replacement. In fact, you can easily tell it’s time because your bathtub will be displaying some obvious warning signs. South Shore Dream Bath, the premier source of quality shower wall panels in the area, lists some of them here.

  1. Leakage. Following a bath or shower, check if there’s pooling water, drips through cracks, or mysterious puddles along your bathroom floor. A leak usually indicates that a swift bathtub replacement is not far off. You won’t want to underestimate tub leaks–if overlooked, they can lead to extensive and costly structural damage.
  2. Cracks and Chips. It’s generally a good idea to have a new bathtub installed when the old one already has a number of cracks and chips along with the material. Cracks, no matter how small they are, can result in the aforementioned leaks, and if you have a tile or porcelain tub, any chipping can become a safety risk. You might want to consult your trusted acrylic shower replacement company, South Shore Dream Bath, immediately. We offer high-quality replacement bathtubs in tough materials and different sizes to better meet your renovation needs.
  3. Stains. Unsightly discoloration in the bathtub can bring down the aesthetics of your bathroom. The bathtub, after all, is one of the largest visual elements in the space. What’s more, it’s difficult to believe that your tub is getting you as clean as possible when you can see those large stains all over it.
  4. Excessive Mold and Mildew. Dark streaks and spots along your bathtub can be a sign of mold growth. When these spots are isolated to small patches, they are usually easy to clean and get rid of. But if mold and mildew are spreading to multiple areas of your bathtub, it might be time for a replacement. This way, you can avoid the many health risks associated with mold exposure.
