Updating an old tub for less

On a recent visit to The Home Depot (my now favorite shopping destination since becoming a home owner),  I saw a car in the parking lot advertising a hot new trend… 

Old Bathtub

Old bath tubs are something of an eyesore and expensive to replace.  I recently had the conundrum of deciding which route to take in regards to fixing an old tub and when I came across Re-bath I got really excited.

Instead of re-surfaceing the tub which is the old version of this new trend, a new liner is created as an exact match to the existing tub…

Between ripping out the old tub and installing a new one, replacing a bath tub can cost thousands of dollars.  How about inserting a custom made lining that “fits like a glove”.  Re-bath is a company that creates an exact match to your old tub and then secures it into place with heavy duty epoxy.

Saving money on common updates can really make a difference when budgeting for new home renovations.  If you are in need of a fresh look in your bathroom for half the price this may be the solution for you.
