Remodeling Your Bathroom? Here are 10 Things You Should Consider Before You Start

Are you getting ready to remodel your bathroom? From your guest baths to the master bathroom, you deserve to have a space that is safe, stylish, and luxurious. The remodeling process itself is rather straightforward with the right team on your side, but there’s still plenty of things to do to prepare.
At Bath Planet Experts, our goal is to make every step of your remodeling project simple and stress-free. Before you dive into renovating, let’s take a look at the top 10 things you should consider right off the bat.
1. Aesthetic
You may think of your bathroom as a purely functional space, but appearance matters, too! You should have a space that makes you feel safe and comfortable. No matter your preferred aesthetic, the local remodelers at Bath Planet Experts will be there to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
2. Accessibility and Safety
Did you know your bathroom is one of the most potentially hazardous places in your home? In order to mitigate the risks of slipping and falling in your bathroom, consider adding slip-resistant flooring, safety grab bars, low-barrier entryways, and more. If you or someone in your home live with mobility issues, you may also want to consider installing a walk-in tub or shower.
3. Functionality
If you want to make better use of your space, it’s important to consider how best to store all your items—toiletries, towels, medicine bottles, and more. Rather than cluttering up your countertops, you should figure out how many cabinets and drawers you want to add. You should also figure out how best to set up the lighting in your space.
4. Bathtub or Shower?
Depending on you and your family’s needs and the size of your space, you’ll either want to install a bathtub or a shower in your bathroom. Bathtubs are great is you have smaller children or older adults in your home. Showers, on the other hand, can be a great choice for everyone in between! Plus, they’ll usually take up less space in your home, too.
At Bath Planet Experts, we offer a wide range of bath and shower remodeling services in order to meet the needs of all our local customers. If you currently have a bath and want a shower—or vice versa—we can help you get the look you need with efficient tub-to-shower conversion services.
5. Plumbing Set Up
Bathroom remodels can get expensive really quickly. One easy way to make your renovation more affordable is to keep your plumbing fixtures in the same place. That means installing a new tub, shower, or sink where the old one was rather than completely moving everything around. Even though these fixtures will be in the same place, you can still create an entirely new look for your space.
6. Budget
It’s important to get an idea of what you’ll be paying for the project as a whole. When you work with Bath Planet Experts, you can have peace of mind before we even start the remodeling process. Our team will provide a free estimate at your initial consultation and flexible financing options to ensure your project meets your goals and your budget.
7. Durability and Maintenance
In order to maintain the results of your bathroom remodel, it’s crucial to choose high-quality materials for your bathtub or shower. At Bath Planet Experts, we install the best products that feature mold-resistant surfaces and multi-layer acrylic.
That means you don’t have to worry about your tub or shower chipping, cracking, or discoloring over time. Plus, it will make it much easier to clean and maintain on a regular basis.
8. Length of Remodel
The last thing you want to deal with is a lengthy remodel that leaves your bathroom out of commission for weeks on end. With our team on your side, you can expect most projects to be done within a single day. Our experts will be by your side from your initial consultation through the final installation to ensure you enjoy a seamless and stress-free remodel from start to finish.
9. Protection
Before you choose your bathroom remodeling team, do a bit of research to see what type of warranties they offer. Knowing your bathroom is protected will offer you the ultimate peace of mind for years to come. At Bath Planet experts, we offer limited lifetime warranties on all our products, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
And Finally…
10. Find a Remodeling Team You Trust
