How Long Does a Bathtub Last?

Did you recently move into an older home? Perhaps, you’ve recently reglazed or replaced a bathtub in your home. Whatever the reason, you’ve been thinking about the lifespan of tubs and we’re here to help you gather the facts. The average expected lifespan of a bathtub ranges from 10 to 30 years. While it can be tricky to put an exact timestamp on your bathtub, you can make an estimate with one, simple clue:

Material

The material of your bathtub will determine its lifespan—it’s that easy. If you inherited an old tub with your new home, you can determine the material yourself or you can consult with a contractor; most consultations are free, and a professional can help you look into the overall condition of your tub—ensuring you find the best solution for your bathroom needs.

Is It Time to Upgrade Your Bathtub?

Visible signs of damage to your tub or water damage to the walls around your bathtub can cue the need for an upgrade. What many homeowners don’t realize is that there is no need to wait for a bathtub replacement. If your current bathtub isn’t suiting your lifestyle or relaxation needs, do some research and consider the benefits of investing in a bathtub style that actually meets your unique needs.
