As an owner of an apartment complex or a property manager of several homes for lease, you know how important it is to provide your tenants with a nice and comfortable place to live. When your homes and apartments are not up to par or they are outdated, you struggle to find tenants to fill the vacancies.
One of the most important rooms within a home that tenants will look at is the bathroom. A dirty, ugly, and outdated tub is sure to turn a potential tenant away quickly and keep them gone too.
As a landlord, you know just how crucial it is for you to invest in your properties to get the most out of them. Sometimes, when a tenant moves out, you have to invest money to fix up the place before you can get a new tenant in.
So, what should you do about a bathtub that is not so appealing?
The answer is tub reglazing. Apartment owners and property managers can benefit the most from choosing to have their properties updated via reglazing. Not only will you end up with a beautiful tub that looks brand new, but you also won’t have to spend a bunch of time or money to get it done either.
Below, we will talk more about why you as an apartment owner or property manager, should have your tubs reglazed.
Why Would Apartment and Rental Property Bathtubs Need to Be Reglazed?
Unfortunately, not all tenants will clean their bathtubs and those that do clean them may not clean them as efficiently as they should. This then leads to the surface getting stained. Once the surface is stained, no amount of chemicals and cleaning will remove the stains at this point.
In addition to staining, people naturally drop things in the tub over time and this can lead to cracks, dings, scratches, and chips on the surface.
Once your tub has been damaged or beat up, it becomes problematic because a new tenant is not going to simply “love” the tub and call it a day. You can expect a new tenant to either walk away and go look at other properties or ask you for a discounted rental rate.
Low Cost Overall
One of the biggest benefits of reglazing your bathtub is that it does not come with a high price tag. Replacing your tub can cost you thousands of dollars and if you own many apartments or properties, you will feel the hole burning into your wallet.
Reglazing your tub is a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Since the tub is not removed during the process, you do not have to worry about excessive labor costs or removal fees either.
In general, you can expect to spend anywhere between $300 and $600 per tub to have it reglazed. Of course, this price will vary, and you may even be able to score a discount if you need multiple tubs done at once.
Saves Time and Headache
Ever had to remodel the interior of one of your properties? Then you know just how messy and time consuming it can be. With tub reglazing, you do not have to worry about this. In fact, there is NO mess and NO construction either. Your tub is not removed, so you do not have to worry about broken pipes, tiles, or flooring.
Tub reglazing services are completed the SAME day, so there is virtually no downtime required. Even if you choose to have a tub reglazed while the tenants are still occupying the property, you do not have to worry about them being without their tub for long. They can get back to using it in as little as 24 hours.
Quick Turnover from Tenant to Tenant
Remember how we said that tenants will walk away from a property with a stained and outdated tub? Well, reglazing services stop this from happening.
When you choose tub reglazing, you can count on your old tub looking brand new. Tenants will fall in love with it, and you can even fetch more money per month due to having an “updated” bathroom. You will no longer have to worry about a loss of income while the apartment or property sits empty in between tenants. Your property will become highly desirable.
