Choosing your new bathtub
a
re you a homeowner?
If so, if you could change one thing about your bathroom, what would you like to change? If you are like many other homeowners, there is a good chance that the bathtub was your response. In the United States, there are a fairly large number of homeowners who wish that they had a new bathtub. If you are one of those individuals, did you know that you don’t have to wish any longer? If you want a new bathtub, you should get one. Making a new bathtub part of your kitchen remodeling project isn’t as difficult as it may seem. 1

ALL ABOUT BATHROOM REMODELING
Perhaps, the first step in choosing a new bathtub is determining how much money you can afford to spend on one. If you are also remodeling the rest of your bathroom, it is important that you not only focus on the cost of a new bathtub, but also the cost of your other supplies. If you mistakenly spend too much on a new bathtub, the rest of your bathroom remodeling plans could suffer. Also, you will likely find that having a bathtub limit or budget is the best way to save time while shopping. Knowing how much money is too much to spend will prevent you from wasting your time, by examining bathtubs that you cannot even afford. It is also a good idea to determine, ahead of time, how your new bathtub will be installed. If you are planning on having a professional install your new bathtub for you, you will need to keep the extra costs in mind. Although you may want to avoid paying a professional contractor, you may need to. There are a number of bathroom contractors who specialize in replacing bathtubs. In fact, some, literally, just place a new bathtub right over the old one. It may be possible for you to do this yourself, but, in most cases, you will find that a professional contactor could have your new bathtub installed in as little as a few hours. Regardless of whether you choose to install your own bathtub or have a professional do it for you, you will need to find a new bathtub to purchase. If you are looking to have your old bathtub completely removed, you will likely find that you have more options. When a new bathtub replaces an old bathtub, the tubs need to be about the same size or style. Therefore, if you are remodeling your bathroom with the hopes of getting a new bathroom, you may be looking for something different. Luckily for you, you still have an unlimited number of options. In the United States, the most commonly installed types of bathtubs include traditional ones, which are also known as standard tubs. These bathtubs are often connected right to the wall, placed in a corner, and sit directly on the floor. What is nice about most traditional bathtubs is that they are relatively affordable. You can purchase a traditional bathtub for as low as two hundred dollars.
Choosing Your New Bathtub

If you are looking for comfort, instead of price, you may want to look into spa-like bathtubs or even massage bathtubs. These bathtubs, as you may assume, cost more an most others. Many massage bathtubs or spa-like bath tubs retail for around one or two thousand dollars. If you are looking for a trendy, stylish bathtub, you may prefer to own a freestanding bathtub. Freestanding bathtubs can cost as low as five hundred dollars, but they can also reach into the thousands. Once you have decided which type of bathtub you would like to purchase, you will need to decide on a particular tub. Perhaps, the best way to do this is to start your shopping. You may find it easier to make a decision when you can see bathtub displays set up. For a wide selection of bathtubs, including displays, you are advised to checkout one of your local home improvement stores.

re you looking to start a bathroom remodeling project
soon? If so, do you have all of the items that you will need? When it comes to bathroom remodeling or just about any other home improvement project, many individuals automatically think of the materials that will be used. If you are looking to replace your bathtub, of course, you will need a replacement bathtub. But how will you get that bathtub installed without tools? 4
Bathroom Remodeling Tools You Need
5
You can’t. That is why it is important to know what you tools you will need before starting your next bathroom remodeling project. When it comes to tools, you will find that the tools used with all depend on the remodeling that is being done. For instance, if you are planning on remodeling your entire bathroom, you will likely need more tools than you would if you were just replacing your bathroom cabinets. Despite the fact that different bathroom remodeling projects often call for different tools, you will find that some tools can be used on just about all bathroom remodeling projects. It might be a good idea to keep these tools, which are listed below, on hand at all times. One of the many tools that you will want to have on hand, when remodeling your bathroom, is a pair of pliers. Pliers are one of those tools that you may need to use on a regular basis, not just for a kitchen remodeling project. Therefore, there is a good chance that you already have a pair of pliers in your home or on your tool belt. It is also advised that you have a tape measure on hand, when preparing to start your next bathroom remodeling project. Whether you are looking to install a new light fixture or tile your bathroom floor, a tape measure could come in handy. In addition to a tape measure, you may also want to make sure that you have a level. Using a level with a tape measure will not only help to ensure that your cabinets or wall hangings are centered, but that they are also level. Another tool that you should always have on hand, when remodeling your bathroom, is a screwdriver. In fact, unless you have a multi-function screwdriver, you may even need to have to have more than one screwdriver on hand. Even better than a multi-function screwdriver is a screw gun. Screwdrivers are a great, yet simple way to help speed up your next bathroom remodeling project. It is also advised that you have a ladder on hand, when remodeling your bathroom. Ladders are used to help reach high places. If you need to paint your bathroom ceiling or even replace your bathroom lights, you may need to use a ladder.

ALL ABOUT BATHROOM REMODELING
In addition to a ladder, it may be a good idea to keep a small stepstool on hand. Step stools are great for helping you reach high spaces that are high enough to need assistance, but not high enough to need a ladder. They are also nice because most tend to take up a relatively small amount of space. In addition to all of the above mentioned tools, it is also important to place a focus on safety. If and when you go out to purchase new kitchen remodeling tools, it is advised that you also purchase some safety equipment, especially if you don’t already own some. Safety equipment includes, but is not limited to, work gloves, construction hats, face masks, and safety goggles. The above mentioned kitchen remodeling tools and safety equipment pieces are just a few of the many items that you may need. For an accurate list of tools that may need to be used during your next bathroom remodeling project, you are advised to review the remodeling projects that you have scheduled, as well as their directions. Doing so is the best way to not only know what to expect, but also to know what tools you may need to go out and buy.

If you have yet to make a decision, you may be wondering whether or not it is worth it or even possible for you do your own bathroom remodeling. One of the reasons why many homeowners choose to remodel their own bathrooms is because of the money that they can save. 10
Should You Do Your Own Bathroom Remodelling?
11
If you want to have your bathroom professionally remodeled, you can do so, but you will have to pay for a professional contractor. Depending on how much of your bathroom you want remodeled and who you hire to do the work, you could end up paying a fairly large amount of money; money that you may not necessarily have to spend. Therefore, if you are looking to have your bathroom remodeled, but without having to go broke, you may want to think about doing your own bathroom remodeling. In fact, if you have prior home improvement experience, there is a good chance that your remodeling may appear as if it were professionally done. Another one of the reasons why many homeowners choose to doing their own bathroom remodeling is because of the freedom that they have when doing so. If you decide to remodel your own bathroom, you can not only decide what you would like replaced or repaired, but you can also change your mind if you want to. Of course, you can also change your mind when relying on a professional contractor, but your changes may result in extra charges. That is why if you plan on remodeling your bathroom as you go along, it may be a good idea to do your own remodeling. Not having to have everything planned out, such as your replacement tub or toilet, is one of the many benefits to doing your own bathroom remodeling. Although there are a number of advantages to doing your own bathroom remodeling, there are also a number of disadvantages. One of those disadvantages is the time that it may take. The time that it will take to complete a kitchen remodeling project will depend on a number of different factors. Those factors include the amount of remodeling you need done, the amount of time you can devote to working, as well as your remodeling experience. One of the reasons why professional contractors are able to remodel whole bathrooms in a relatively small amount of time is because of their experience. Their experience often allows them to work quicker. If you have prior home improvement experience, there is a good chance that you would get your remodeling done in a decent amount of time, but there are never any guarantees. The risk of injury is also something else that you may want to think about, when looking to do your own bathroom remodeling. Your risk of injury will all depend on the type of bathroom remodeling project that you are working on.
