Bathroom Sink Renovation Can Add Sparkle To The Room
Except perhaps the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink takes the most abuse of any item in the home. Between the several uses every day with normal use, it is also subjected to numerous chemicals from toothpaste, mouthwash and hair care products, not the mention drain cleaners to get of things stuck in the drain. One of the easiest ways to update the look in the room is with a bathroom sink renovation.
This may be a no-brainer if the cabinets or vanity are being replaced, but for the sake of the budget a bathroom sink renovation can make even the most outdated cabinets look better. The finish erodes off many surfaces in bathroom sinks making them look dull and lifeless and there is little short of replacing the sink that will bring back the original shine. However, with enough time and patience there are products that claim to be able to restore the sink to its original luster.
In the long run, it may be cheaper and easier to replace the sink, with a newer, more modern design that fits into the present countertop. Updated designs and styles can make the bathroom sink renovation easy to accomplish while adding to the appearance and value of the home. Depending on the cost of the new sink, updating the worn out vanity may also be recommended for a complete bathroom sink renovation to prevent the appearance of only doing half the job.
New Sink Begs For New Fixtures
When performing a bathroom sink renovation do not stop at the sink and vanity, replace the fixtures at the same time. While some new sinks will include the faucets, others will list them as options. For the few extra dollars that new fixtures will cost, it will pay off in the appearance of the bathroom by replacing them at the same time. Be sure the sink, vanity and fixtures will fit into future bathroom remodeling plans so that when the job is complete it will all blend together.
Remember, that once the bathroom sink renovation is complete and the floor is replaced, the cabinet can stay in place and the new floor trimmed around the base. It is suggested to removed the old floor under the new cabinet and when the new floor is laid, seal around the base of the vanity to prevent water from seeping underneath. This can insure the cabinet, as well as the floor remains in good condition for years to come.
