Let’s say your Aurora bathroom isn’t quite as new looking or enticing as it once was, and that now you’re planning to move and you’re debating whether or not to make any improvements. Well, you could save the money and apply it toward your new home. Besides, you might be thinking, what if the improvements you make aren’t consistent with the decorating taste of the new buyers?
Our advice? Look at this matter in an entirely different light by considering these two very important factors:
- The condition of your bathroom at the time you put your home up for sale not only will influence a buyer’s decision to buy your home or not, but also be a factor in how much they’re willing to offer you.
- Equally important, there are several simple improvements you can make that will help turn a possible negative into a positive and actually increase the value of your home.
Here are five time-tested ways to improve your bathroom quickly, simply, and affordably:
- If your bathroom needs more substantial work, you can count on the professional plumbing and installation services of Norhio Plumbing.

If there is water damage or broken tile in your bathroom, you need to correct those problems before you start with the decorating niceties. Loose towel racks, cracked or moldy
- caulking, peeling wallpaper, etc. – all work against you when potential buyers start having a look around.
- Replace a fiberglass shower with tile instead. If your fiberglass tub surround is showing signs of age, such as staining, then you’ll up the resale value of your home by replacing it with ceramic tile. You can always find tiles for sale on clearance, and often for under a $1 per square foot. Just remember to keep the tile simple and fairly neutral; a southwestern rustic-style bathroom, just as one example, might fit your decorative taste but it might be a bit extreme for potential home buyers.
- Increase storage space. If your bathroom is low on storage space for your own personal needs, then the new owners are very likely to experience the same level of inconvenience. To rectify the situation, you may want to add built-in shelving, replace a pedestal sink with one that offers cupboards underneath, and/or replace your existing mirror with one that includes a medicine cabinet.
- A fresh coat of paint covers up a lot of sins. A potential homebuyer may have a difficult time seeing the beauty of your bathroom if the color of your walls is one that others might consider a bit “extreme.” Other reasons to paint are to cover and repair cracks, stains, dents, and any other type of aesthetic disrepair. Choose a light, neutral shade such as gray or cream and then add towels or other decorative elements to add color.
- Replace your fixtures. Out of date or hopelessly tarnished faucets and shower heads send up a big red flag to prospective future residents. But you don’t need to go top end to replace them. For example, nickel-plated sink faucets add a nice decorative touch and are easy to keep clean. As for your shower head, again, you’ll know if it needs to be replaced just by looking at it, especially if it produces a steady drip. A wide, adjustable, and low-flow showerhead is a simple and affordable substitute.
