Master bath on a budget
by
CS
We recently bought our first home and besides paint, it hasn't been that painful a process updating it. Our master bath though needs some love. We have this ugly garden tub with surround. The trim is starting to separate from the wall and I'd like to give it some new life since we can't afford to replace it. Would love some suggestions.
Love the pink tub with the surround that has silver trim. Not!
We also have this ugly structural pole to work around.
This is where it's separating from the wall. What's this behind? Will we need to replace that?

Home Depot and maybe lowes make some stone veneers that can be applied to tub surfaces. It really looks nice. Not sure about inside the tub area. If you apply it with the right adhesive it would look very nice also,but I would check with the manufacterer or someone knowledgable at the store. Available in several color options. Nice update!

Don't quite get the third pic so can't say. A shower curtain would hide the white support. (Do you know what it is supporting? - very unusual) I'd get rid of the tub "backsplash" and silver trim, and tile. The area is relatively small so it shouldn't cost too much. You could also add trim around the mirror. I have vinyl wallpaper in my bathroom including around the tub and have had no problem - many colours and patterns to give a new look.

That last picture shows what is behind the backsplash. One side has begun to pull away from the wall.
