When a bathroom feels tired and old, a homeowner often considers doing a remodel. But a full remodel isn\u2019t always the answer, and you may be in a situation where you\u2019re fine with how your bathroom looks\u2014you just want it to \u00adbe more convenient, work better, or help save water. The question you have is whether you should arrange to replace the fixtures in your bathroom.<\/p>\n
We handle residential plumbing in Hamilton, OH<\/a> and throughout the Greater Cincinnati and Tri-State area and have for more than 45 years. We know a little bit about upgrading bathroom plumbing! We can help you make the choice about those bathroom fixture replacements, and the best way to start is to work with our plumbers in person. We can offer you some advice in this blog post, however, to get you started thinking about your choices and what fixtures most need upgrades.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s an essential, the fixture in the bathroom that uses the most water of \u00adany<\/em> plumbing fixture in the house. The toilet may seem like an eternal plumbing fixture. But if your bathroom toilet is more than 10 years old, it\u2019s likely a water waster. A low-flow replacement can cut down water use by more than 75% compared to an ancient toilet that consumes 5\u20136 gallons per flush. Even a new standard toilet is an improvement.<\/p>\n A shower or tub takes up a large amount of space and can turn into an eyesore when out of date. The edges can also turn leaky, and that may lead to serious mold and mildew problems best remediated with a new fixture. Plus, there are many great luxuries with new tub and shower models that can make getting up and getting clean in the morning a more enjoyable experience. Ask plumbers for suggestions on upgrading the shower.<\/p>\n The faucet is another fixture in a bathroom where putting in a low-flow model can make a significant difference on your water use. It\u2019s more than just putting in an aerator! (Although if you haven\u2019t done this, put it on your \u201cto-do\u201d list right away.) As for replacing the whole sink, this can not only improve the design of the bathroom, it can give you more storage space and make the sink easier to keep clean. When you look over the choices for a new sink, you\u2019ll find many fantastic options. (Those vessel sinks are beautiful! Pedestal sinks can also add class, although they sacrifice some storage options.)<\/p>\n Putting in new pipes sounds less exciting than other options\u2014yes, even the toilet\u2014but for a bathroom in a house that\u2019s more than forty years old it\u2019s often one of the smartest replacement choices. Old steel and iron pipes are at a higher risk of leaks, and new copper and plastic pipes are excellent for handling both cold and hot water. How much new piping the bathroom requires is something a licensed plumber can tell you.<\/p>\n We can help you make the choice about those bathroom fixture replacements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[81],"tags":[93,140,138,54],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=913"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":915,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/913\/revisions\/915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The Toilet<\/h3>\n
