Winter is officially upon us! It is the perfect time of year for hot chocolate, warm scarves and even bathroom remodeling. If you are interested in upgrading your en suite, keep reading. Below are some tips that will help you remodel your bathroom in the dead of winter.

Out With The Cold, In With The Heat
If you are from Richmond, Virgina, you know that winter days can be very chilly. While you are renovating your bathroom, it is important that you keep the cold air out and the warm air in. You can accomplish this by having insulation installed in your new bathroom. It is an investment that will keep you and your family comfortable for years to come!

Opt for Energy Efficiency
Renovating your bathroom gives you the perfect opportunity to go green. It's time to ditch old appliances in your bathroom for more energy efficient options. An aerator for your sink can help you conserve water, especially in the colder months.

Keep Design In Mind
Don't begin your remodeling job without a plan and design in mind. Ask yourself what kind of bathroom setting you want. Classic, modern or elegant, design your bathroom to meet your style and family needs. If you have any questions, or you've designed the bathroom of your dreams and would like to find out more, contact us at 804-591-1621.

Tips to Prevent Pipes From Freezing

The official start to winter will be here before you know it. Homeowners across the country are bracing themselves for the chilly nights ahead. The real question is--have they prepared their pipes for the winter? If not, they are at an increased risk for frozen pipes.

To some, frozen pipes do not seem like a big deal. This is probably due to the fact that they have never experienced it before. Or, they just don't know that a repair could cost thousands.

When water freezes, it expands. The pressure from this expansion can make a pipe burst. A broken pipe means water damage in your home. Below are some tips to help you prevent your pipes from freezing this winter.
  • Insulate your pipes with foam insulation sleeves. 
  • Seal all cracks in your pipes with caulking or spray foam insulation.
  • If you are going away this winter, shut off your water and drain all of the pipes before you depart.
At Re-Bath of Richmond, we are always looking for new ways to inform our loyal customers about their bathrooms. Certainly, the tips above will reduce the risk of encountering frozen pipes this winter. Best of all, these simple tips could save you from a plumbing disaster.

How to Maximize the Space in Your Bathroom

Do you have a small, cluttered bathroom? If so, keep reading. Toiletries and other personal hygiene products should not be strewn across your counter top. There are different ways to maximize the space in your bathroom--without a complete renovation.

Above the Porcelain Throne
If there is nothing above your toilet, it is wasted storage space. Improving the functionality of your bathroom is as simple as installing shelves above your toilet. 

A Place to Hang Your Towel
Wet towels can really cramp your bathroom's style. There are two solutions to this problem. If you are looking for a permanent solution to this issue, you can have towel racks installed on the back of your bathroom door. An easier, less technical solution is to hang a towel hook on the back of your bathroom door. Best of all, they are inexpensive and can be purchased at a hardware store near you.

The Right Accessories 
At Re-Bath of Richmond, we know that the right accessories can make all the difference in your bathroom. Our different shower shelving units provide a designated place for your various toiletries.

A "Green" Bathroom

If you plan on remodeling your bathroom in the near future, keep the environment in mind. You may be wondering, what does the environment have to do with my bathroom? This is a valid question. Quite simply, your bathroom is a room in your house that uses a lot of water. There are eco-friendly products and practices you can incorporate into your newly remodeled bathroom.

A Toilet That Goes with the (Low) Flow
Did you know that toilets installed prior to 1980 use 5 gallons of water per flush? That's a lot of water! Luckily, today's toilets are built to be energy efficient and conserve water. A low flow toilet uses approximately 1 gallon of water per flush. Every drop counts!

Products That Are All-Naturale
When people think of recycling, plastic bottles and cans come to mind. However, you can re-purpose natural materials to build the bathroom of your dreams. 

Eco-Friendly Cleaners
Some cleaning products are filled with harsh chemicals that can take a toll on your plumbing fixtures. Influential brands have noticed the need to "go green" and have changed their products to match their philosophy. That's right; eco-friendly cleaning products are now available at a store near you.

These days, people are jumping on the "go green" movement--and for a good reason. Eco-friendly products benefit both the consumer and the environment. Talk about a win-win situation!

Improve the Safety of Your Bathroom

Your bathroom is one of the most accident prone rooms in your home. Think about it. Close quarters and water do not make for a safe environment. For a senior or someone with mobility challenges, the stakes are even higher. If they have one too many slip-and-fall accidents, it can deter them from living at home on their own. Luckily, the walk-in tubs at Re-Bath of Richmond allow people to bathe safely and live an independent lifestyle.

Our walk-in tubs have many safety features. For one, the easily accessible door allows for a safe entrance and exit. The lower threshold lets people maneuver in and out of the tub easily; thus reducing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents.

Some people have trouble with balance and therefore cannot shower standing up. Walk-in tubs allow people to bathe while sitting down. Not only is this a more convenient way to bathe, it is also more comfortable.

Last but certainly not least, our walk-in tubs come equipped with grab bars. These bars help you get your balance when entering or exiting the tub. 

The walk-in tubs at Re-Bath of Richmond allow you to bathe in luxury. If you are interested in increasing the safety of your bathroom, a walk-in tub is a great place to start. For more information on our walk-in tubs, please give us a call at 804-591-1621.

How to Keep Your Shower Squeaky Clean

Break away from grimy and moldy shower curtains and upgrade to shower doors. You have the option between sliding or hinged shower doors with an array of design and styles to choose from. You're sure to find the perfect fit for your style and comfort.

So you've just had a beautiful glass shower door installed by the pros at Re-Bath of Richmond. Now what? It's up to you to keep it squeaky clean. If you do not clean your shower frequently, soap scum can build up. To avoid this, make sure you run a squeegee down your shower door after a steamy shower. This will also keep mold and mildew at bay.  

If you are big into the "go green" movement, you can clean your shower door with environmentally friendly products. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and water can make your shower door shine like new. Scrub this mixture onto the glass with a microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth will prevent you from streaking out. With these helpful tips, your glass shower door will shine bright like a diamond.

Safety Features of Walk-In Tubs

Walk-in tubs are starting to gain popularity; especially among seniors and people who have mobility challenges. After all, showers require standing for an extended periods of time and traditional bathtubs can be difficult to maneuver. Walk-in tubs allow people to bathe with comfort and ease.

When One Door Opens
One of the best features of a walk-in tub is its door. With a traditional bathtub, seniors have to hobble on one foot to climb into the tub. It is no surprise that this is very dangerous, since people can lose their balance and fall. Walk-in tubs are much easier to enter than traditional bathtubs. 

A Balancing Act
Walk-in tubs also come fully equipped with grab bars. They provide a steady structure to hold onto as you enter or exit the tub. Grab bars allow people to get their balance. Walk-in tubs are safer than traditional bathtubs because they reduce the risk of slip and falls. Some seniors are determined to live independently at home for as long as possible. Walk-in tubs make this a reality, since seniors can bathe safely without the assistance of others. 

At Re-Bath of Richmond, we carry only the best brands of walk-in tubs. With a variety of colors and styles, there is something for everyone. Walk-in tubs are perfect for people who are concerned with safety.  As the old saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Redesign On A Dime

The pros at Re-Bath of Richmond can install a new bathtub or shower in your en suite for an affordable price. Once you've had a beautiful shower or tub installed, you will need a beautiful new bathroom to match. Here some ways you can update your bathroom without breaking the bank.

Paint A Picture
Painting your bathroom is a relatively inexpensive way to breathe new life into the space. Calming and neutral colors are classic and timeless choices. It is amazing how a few brushstrokes can take a bathroom from dark and dingy to light and airy. 

Smoke and Mirrors
A decorative mirror can add a lot of style and personality to your bathroom. Large mirrors can create the optical illusion of more space. The placement of a mirror is crucial. If a mirror is positioned correctly, it can trick the eye and make the room look twice as large. 

Curtain Call
Is your shower curtain dirty and/or unsightly? If the answer is yes to either of these, it is time for a new one. Fortunately, shower curtains are not pricey and can be purchased from your local home improvement store. Best of all, shower curtains can add character and color to your existing decor. 

All of these suggestions are inexpensive and can be completed in one day. Nonetheless, they can completely transform the look and feel of your bathroom. It's proof that a little elbow grease and determination go a long way!

It's not about how much space you have in your bathroom; it's all about how you use that space! Below are some suggestions you can take to maximize the functionality of your bathroom.

Shelf Life
Shelves are a great way to utilize space in your bathroom. Not only can shelves house your toiletries, they can also display your bathroom decor items. It is easy to see how shelves enhance the functionality and design of your powder room. 

Nothing Wrong With A Little Vanity
A vanity can help solve a lot of the storage issues in your bathroom. Vanities will provide you with plenty of space to store your various toiletries. They can be particularly advantageous if they have multiple drawers.

Put All Your Toiletries In One Basket
Baskets can be used to store towels or extra rolls of toilet paper. This is a great option for people who are not handy or into the DIY home improvement movement. 

Make Up For Less Space 
This one is for the ladies. If you are tired of rummaging through a cosmetic bag when applying makeup, a drawer divider with different compartments will help organize your cosmetics. It will save you time and space. Talk about a win-win situation!

Find Your (Re)Purpose
There are plenty of everyday items you can re-purpose to serve as storage units in your bathroom. A decorative ladder can provide you with multiple levels of storage. Mason jars can store cotton balls or toothbrushes. When it comes to bathroom storage solutions, feel free to get creative!
