A lot of people are doing it—refinishing their bathroom tiles and tubs. But is it worth it? Is it really worth refinishing old, old tiles? A new bathroom is an expensive venture, but one that’s not all about your money. It’s also about creating a relaxing, peaceful space that feels more like home.
The bathroom is my favorite room in the house. It’s a place where I can relax after a long day, and it’s a place where I enjoy spending time. It’s also a space that I sometimes get stressed about, due to its importance and also because it’s one of the rooms in the house that I can see from any point inside the house. When it comes to refinishing my bathroom tiles and tub, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about it and wondering if it was really worth the effort. The problem with that is, that I’m a busy person and I have to balance doing things with the best interests of my family.

I have a bathroom renovation on the brain. One of the projects I was most excited about was replacing my bathroom tiles and tub. You see, my bathroom was an older home built in the 1980s, and while it was in great condition (with very modern plumbing), it needed a face lift. The tiles were chipped and outdated looking. The tub looked nice but didn’t match the rest of the bathroom. I thought, “I’ll replace the tiles and put in a new tub to give my bathroom a fresh new look.” I started getting estimates from a local tile shop and tub shop. The price for tile was about $3,000, and the cost of the tub was about $3,400. Then one morning I went downstairs and discovered my neighbor and friend Chris had purchased the house across the street from me and had started a bathroom renovation.
Bathroom tile refinishing is a DIY project that many people tackle each year, however, only a few actually finish the project. This is a fairly inexpensive project that can easily save you time and money. It can also add value to your home and improve its overall curb appeal. After all, who wouldn’t love a sparkling new bathtub? In order to get started, the first thing you’ll need to do is to remove your existing bathtub, tile, and grout. This can be done with a power drill and a utility knife. Once your bathtub has been removed, you’ll need to determine where to start. Depending on how large the project is, you can either start at the beginning and work your way towards the end, or you can begin by working on the grout first. A grout sponge will be very useful here, as it will allow you to spread out the grout evenly. Once the grout has dried, you can use your tile saw or hammer and chisel to cut the tile and remove the old grout. If you have any concerns about the removal of your tub, you may want to bring in an expert to help you out. After the tiles are all removed, you can start your tile refinishing project.
