How old is your bathroom? How long should it last? Could I change it to make it nicer? Can I add a fan, a plug for my hair dryer? What about clear glass in the shower?
Everybody has questions about bathrooms, at least the people here at this site. Welcome. I hope I can answer some of your questions today.
How many years can you expect out the products in your bathroom?
- Bathtub – 50 years cast iron, fiberglass/acrylic, 15-35 years.
- Counter top – ceramic tile, 30 years, laminate, 10-15 years,
- Paint – 5-10 years,
- Carpet – 11 years,
- Drywall – 30-70 years
Can you make changes to make it better. Yes you can. A decade ago homeowners stayed in their homes an average of 7 years, now the average is 12.5 years. Many people are staying in their homes and fixing them up the way “they” want it.
