shower tub renovation求建議

70/80s single family rental house. Mirror and tile wall over tub (60"x32").  Most people do not like mirror.  tile color too dark. 

1. Replace with acrylic shower tub ("lifetime warranty") $10k (costco referral gave me lower end estimate of $12-13k up to ceiling height shower wall)

2. HD/Lowes fiber glass 3-wall shower tub. Still waiting for quote. ($6k?) 

3. resurfacing (this company claimed better than epoxy spray). $1500k (10 yr warranty). Over mirror, this guy would not give me pure white color option. 

Getting ride of mirror wall will be headache. I have no bathroom renovation experience so prefer to have other people do it. 

Any concern on resurfacing option?

 

60" vanity. Resurfacing would cost over $400 (only the following color is available). Still better than getting a brand new. Pinkish looks quite outdated. Need to change handles too.

• 老的backsplash基本和drywall成了一體（我家舊的是08年裝的，我是19年換新的），很難不損傷。 -最西邊的島上- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 12:15:03

• 實在太舊太難看了。還是打掉重新做吧。 IKEA 60" Vanity 也不過$764,沒必要resurface -samma1- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 07:58:33

• 我也覺得vanity surface 難看。 it is not $400 vs $760 or even $1k -RomaVacation- ♂ (561 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 09:24:07

• 已物盡其用了。正是升級時機，請人幹都換新，自己能做隨便你。中檔區和房屋狀況就值得換新，能升值也能提升租金和租客質量。 -守月- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 08:36:40

• 可以油漆（包括tub)，不過隻能管幾年，請人做，把鏡子掀了漆牆，漆瓷磚，漆櫃子，廚房漆櫃子，大約也要花2千。出租也可以。 -守月- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 09:42:27

• Just painting on mirror? -RomaVacation- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 09:56:56

• 不，鏡子要掀掉（撤走），櫃子和tub都可以油漆，還可以換top.這裏有個判斷技巧，如果櫃子內部狀況也不好，就不值得漆。漆 -守月- ♀ (81 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 10:14:34

• 鏡子tile12"x12". Do not think it is normal tile behind mirror -RomaVacation- ♂ (81 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 10:22:06

• 砸鏡子，如果後邊牆體小損，油漆前先補好牆板即可，這是很小的事（我都會補）。若牆體破壞，換牆板即可，也是小活。 -守月- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/05/2025 postreply 11:43:48
