There’s no doubt that bathroom remodeling is one of the best home improvement projects available for boosting your home’s value. According to Zillow, the average standard bathroom remodels cost over $19,000 in 2019, with an average return of around $13,422. However, there are many ways to improve your bathroom without doing a full renovation, which isn’t always necessary. Unless your entire bathroom is falling apart from floor-to-ceiling, homeowners should focus on improving just the areas that need the most attention—like the wet area of the bathroom.

Wet area remodels are fast, affordable, and can be the best way to invest in your home without spending the time and money that a full bathroom overhaul requires. In this blog, our team at Bath Planet will discuss some of the best ways to improve your bathroom with a simple yet impactful wet area renovation.

The Wet Area: The Most Important Part of the Bathroom

When it comes to maintenance and upkeep of our bathrooms, the wet area—or the area consisting of the shower, tub, and the floors and walls surrounding these installations—is arguably the most important part of the space. While your toilet, sink, and vanity are also important aspects of the bathroom, the wet area requires more consideration to keep clean and free of water damage, mold and mildew growth, and general deterioration.

If you’re like most homeowners, the wet area is likely the part of the bathroom that needs the most help. Today’s newest bathroom products are designed for hard water use, are practically indestructible, and infused with advanced technology features like Microban, which resists mold and mildew growth. Replacing old and deteriorating wet area fixtures can instantly improve your entire bathroom space, while making it a healthier place to get clean and more attractive, all at once.

Quick and Affordable Wet Area Remodeling Ideas

There are a number of excellent projects that homeowners can take advantage of, depending on the current state of their existing wet area and what they’re hoping to improve with a renovation. Here are some of the most popular projects we take on at Bath Planet throughout the year that focus on improving features inside the wet area, most of which can be completed in just one day’s time:

  • Bathtub Replacement: The bathtub is a focal point in any bathroom, due to its sheer size and usual position opposite the entrance. If your bathroom is old, deteriorating, growing mold, hard to clean, or outdated, replacing it with a high-quality acrylic bathtub replacement is an easy and very effective way to upgrade.
  • Shower Replacement: Like the bathtub, the shower is a focal point and deserves to shine in its role as the stunning centerpiece of the room. If your shower is an eyesore, upgrading it with a shower replacement can make a huge difference.
  • Tub-to-Shower Conversion: A tub-to-shower conversion is ideal for those that want to maximize space and make better use of their bathroom. Remove an aging, old, and unused bathtub and exchange it for a gleaming shower for added home value.
  • Walk-In Shower Installation: Aging bath and shower products can be slippery, hard-to-access, and dangerous for aging or disabled household members. Convert your shower or bath area with a walk-in shower installation, with no-slip flooring and other safety features for a more accessible and more secure shower experience.
  • Wall Surrounds and Liners: The shower and bath area walls can look just as dingy as the rest of the wet area if they’re aging, deteriorating, or made with cheap materials. Wall surrounds and bathtub liners are perhaps the easiest remodeling idea for those that want to make a big impact on your bathroom’s design and appearance without the high cost of a more invasive project.
