If you're considering a bathroom update, you're probably familiar with the typical approaches, such as replacing a countertop or toilet, or removing all the fixtures and finishes to complete a floor-to-ceiling renovation.
However, there is another, far less expensive way to make an older bathroom look brand new: using overlays.
An overlay is simply a new surface applied over an existing one. For example, instead of replacing an old and worn bathtub – which is costly – you can purchase an overlay system (called a tub liner) that fits on top of the existing bathtub. It's a little like giving your tub a facelift!
You can do the same thing with your bathroom countertops and floors.
Overlays come in a wide variety of styles and finishes – some of which can make your bathroom look significantly more upscale. Compared to a major renovation, the installation of overlays is relatively straightforward. A tub liner installation, for example, can be done in a day.
You can learn more about overlays at your local home improvement centre and at specialty bathroom showrooms. You can also check out Resurface Solutions. Our clients have used them before to get their bathrooms ready to sell. The work was great, very reasonable and we sold everyone of those properties!
