Bathroom Remodeling for Indiana Homeowners
Thought we would post up some pictures from a recent job L.J. Stone Company did for some Central Indiana homeowners.
The tub and tile walls in this home were original to the house. The tub was hard to clean and the finish was actually worn off in several spots making for an unsightly bathtub. The tile wall appearance was o.k. but a closer look showed some soft spots near the bottom. The customers wanted something easy to clean as well as good looking.
When we started prepping the job we noticed the wall was soft and after removing tile we discovered some pretty bad water damage behind the tile wall. This is more common than most people think. Tile walls allow water to seep into the grout lines and without periodic maintenance of the grout it will fall apart and allow water to damage the interior wall. We took care of the damage and installed a brand new acrylic tub over the existing bathtub and installed a new acrylic wall system in place of the old tile.
The job included new corner shelves and grab bars as well as replacing the old plumbing with a new single handle tub and shower unit.
