Q: What is the difference between a bathtub and a soaking tub?

• <div><p>A standard bathtub can be used for soaking, but they tend to be shallower (between 15 and 18 inches deep). A soaking tub is designed to be deep enough to totally submerge yourself in the water (about 20 and 24 inches deep). Additionally, most soaking tubs are freestanding, while regular bathtubs come in various styles with drop-in, surround, and wall-mounted options available.</p></div>

Q: Will a chipped bath leak?

• <div><p>A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don&rsquo;t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn&rsquo;t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub&rsquo;s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.</p></div>

Q: How often should a bathtub be replaced?

• <div><p>You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub&mdash;or any potential refinishing&mdash;is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can&rsquo;t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.</p></div>

Q: How do I remodel a mobile home bathroom on a budget?

• <div><p>There are a few things you can do to keep your bathroom remodel as affordable as possible in your mobile home:</p><ul><li><p>Ask your contractor to replace caulk and grout rather than retiling</p></li><li><p>Ask your professional to refinish your tub/shower rather than replacing</p></li><li><p>Upgrade your sink fixtures rather than replacing the sink</p></li><li><p>Upgrade cabinet hardware and ask your remodeler to refinish the cabinets</p></li><li><p>Avoid changing the layout of your bathroom</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How far should a clawfoot tub be from the wall?

• <div><p>Installing a clawfoot tub with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance from surrounding walls allows ample room for the faucet and pipework, makes cleaning easier, and reduces the chance of moisture being trapped between the tub and the walls. It might need to be closer if the faucet comes directly out of the wall.</p></div>

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.

There are a few things you can do to keep your bathroom remodel as affordable as possible in your mobile home:

Ask your contractor to replace caulk and grout rather than retiling
Ask your professional to refinish your tub/shower rather than replacing
Upgrade your sink fixtures rather than replacing the sink
Upgrade cabinet hardware and ask your remodeler to refinish the cabinets
Avoid changing the layout of your bathroom

Installing a clawfoot tub with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance from surrounding walls allows ample room for the faucet and pipework, makes cleaning easier, and reduces the chance of moisture being trapped between the tub and the walls.
