Wall Surrounds & Wainscoting

When you think of bathroom walls we’re going to guess that paint or tile are the first, and maybe the only, two things that come to mind. Well, there’s plenty more options that can really take the look and feel of your bathroom to a whole new level. And no, we’re not talking about wallpaper either - we’re talking about beautiful wall surrounds and Wainscoting. Learn more about the two below:

Wall Surrounds

Re-Bath® offers you a large assortment of proprietary, one-of-a-kind, designer wall colors to bring out the style of your new dream bath. This is where your creativity and design taste comes into play. Choose from over 9 different patterns, including patented designs to add that personal and elegant touch.

Wainscoting

Installing Wainscoting has a number of significant advantages for both appearance and function. From a design perspective, wainscoting can "open up" an otherwise small area and give the appearance of a larger space. Wainscoting is also an ideal way to add an interior design feature to your bathroom that offers an elegant addition of color, style, texture or pattern. Wainscoting is also an ideal way to protect the walls outside your tub and shower from the normal "wear and tear" common in the bathroom area.

Just when you thought you only had two options - paint or tile. To learn more about wall surrounds or Wainscoting, don’t hesitate to give the expert bathroom remodelers at Re-Bath of Richmond a call today! 804-591-1621.

Why Is Paint Peeling In The Bathroom?

Notice that the paint is peeling on your bathroom walls or ceiling? Sure, it may look like an eyesore but there’s more bad news - it could indicate that the surface is decaying. What causes paint to peel? How can you prevent it from happening and make sure no more damage is done? Find out below:

What Causes Paint To Peel?

Peeling paint is common in areas of the home that are subject to high moisture levels - such as the kitchen and the bathroom. As moisture gets between the layer of paint and surface underneath, it can cause a peeling effect.

How To Prevent Walls or Ceilings From Peeling

It’s vital to stop peeling in its tracks before the problem gets any worse. To do so, remove peeling paint by using a scraper and then sand the area to smooth the transition between the layer of paint and the surface underneath.

Then you’ll want to seal the area to prevent damage or further peeling in the future. We recommend using a stain-blocking primer specifically made for high moisture areas. Allow it to dry completely before adding a fresh layer of paint.

Finally, have a ventilation fan installed. This will help remove excess moisture from the air all year ‘round.

Why Convert Your Bathtub to a Shower?

The difference between a shower or a bathtub might not mean much to some people but according to a Home Design Trends survey, more than 60 percent of homeowners preferred a shower over a bathtub. Thinking about converting your bathtub to a shower? Keep these things in mind:

1. Safety: Getting in and out of showers are much easier to do. With the high sides on a bathtub, you risk the chance of slipping and getting hurt.
   
2. Appearance: Bathtub to shower conversions open up your bathroom. Walk-in showers can make your bathroom look larger because the shower base seems to take up less space. The variety of door options can also help give off the illusion of space.
   
3. Easy to clean: It is much easier to clean a shower stall than it is to clean a bathtub, especially if time is not on your side. Showers also provide you with more space to move around so getting to those little nooks and crannies will be a breeze!
   
4. Style: Going for a more modern look? Showers tend to do just that! With hundreds of styles to choose from, there’s something for everybody. Not to mention the remodel will likely pay off when you are looking to sell your home in the future. (TIP: If you are looking to sell your home, real estate agents are adamant that to preserve marketability, converting a bathtub to shower will only pay off if you have at least one other bathroom with a bathtub.)

At Re-Bath of Richmond, bath remodeling is our only business. Our exclusive DuraBath® SSP material and our factory trained installation crews can typically finish the conversion in as a little as one day! Contact us at 804-591-1621 or go to our website to schedule a free consultation!

3 Reasons To Choose Low-Flow Bath Fixtures

Did you know that the average family uses roughly 400 gallons of water per day? Astonishing, right? Well, did you know that you can cut back drastically on the amount of water you use by swapping out your old bathroom fixtures with low-flow options?

Shower Heads

Ever wonder how much water you use while you take a shower? Older, more inefficient shower heads can push through more than 5 gallons of water per minute. Think about how much time you spend in the shower each day. Eco friendly fixtures can use up to 30% less water without sacrificing performance.

Faucets

When it comes to bathroom faucets we understand that performance is key. Worried that you won’t be able to find a style and design that meets your taste? Don’t be. There’s an eco friendly option out there for everyone that will look spectacular in your bathroom while using 32% less water or more!

Toilets

Homeowners often worry when it comes to the thought of a low-flow toilet. Sure, it will save some water but will it still have enough flushing power to properly dispose of waste? You better believe it! Since gravity can only do so much, pressurized air was introduced to toilets to push water into and through the bowl more forcefully. Trust us when we say there’s no need to worry.

Bathroom remodeling can be a stressful and expensive process, especially if you try to do it yourself. You need a company that you can trust to convert your old, dingy bathroom into something that you will be proud to use. That's where we come in. Contact the experts at Re-Bath of Richmond today!
