Everyone knows extensive bath remodels are quite expensive. What many don’t know is that some of the biggest bathroom remodeling costs can be avoided. In particular, we’re talking about plumbing costs. If you plan on rearranging the layout in your bathroom, extensive replumbing – which would triple plumbing costs – will be needed. 

Sometimes, moving your tub or shower is unavoidable. But in some cases, it’s possible to update your bathroom design without moving your tub or shower. Here’s how you can update your bathroom design without having to do extensive replumbing:

Install a Larger Bathtub

If there’s still enough space in your bathroom, you might want to consider installing a larger bathtub instead of repositioning it. The tub is one of those bathroom features that immediately draws attention to itself. As such, simply resizing or replacing it can have a big impact on your bathroom’s look. There’s no need to worry about plumbing because your bathroom contractors will simply remove some of the space at the front and back of the tub. 

Update Bathroom Fixtures

You’d be surprised at how much of an impact replacing your sink has on your bathroom’s appearance. If you don’t like how the positioning of certain bathroom fixtures looks, you should consider replacing them first before making any decisions about relocating them in your bathroom. 

Avoid Placing Tubs Near the Outer Wall

Should you really want to move your tub, keep it away from your home’s outer walls. Moving tubs away from your wall can help reduce future plumbing costs. This is because, in winter, there’s a risk the pipes might freeze or burst open, which is why it’s best to position them alongside inner walls.
