When to Replace Your Tub Instead of Getting a Bathtub Liner

Written by Stephen Ryan | Jul 25, 2022 9:00:00 AM

Over the years, your tub can develop damage, discoloration, stains and other imperfections. These flaws can negatively affect the appearance of your entire bathroom. While bathtub liner installation is a quick and cost-effective solution to rejuvenate worn-out tubs, there are instances where it’s better to get a replacement. 

Here are times when a tub replacement is more reasonable than getting a bathtub liner. 

Your Tub Has Serious Damage

Tub liners are great for updating the look of an old tub. However, if yours has lots of stains, cracks and other forms of damage, a replacement might be necessary. Getting a new tub will allow your contractor to address the root cause of the issue and ensure it doesn’t occur again. Keep in mind that issues with plumbing fixtures can lead to water-related problems, such as mold and mildew, rot and structural issues. 

You Are Doing a Whole Bathroom Remodel 

Are you giving your entire bathroom a makeover? If so, it would be the perfect opportunity to replace your old tub. You might want to change the style of your tub to complement the new look of your upgraded space. A new tub can even be the focal point of your bathroom. You can add advanced features for a more spa-like bathing experience. 

You Are Selling Your Home in the Future

Homeowners who are thinking about putting their property on the market would benefit from a new tub. Even small improvements in your bathroom can make a significant difference in the overall value of your home. You can attract more potential buyers with a brand new, pristine tub.
