One of the first things anyone will look at when looking to buy any one of your investment properties is the bathroom and bathroom sinks, tubs and fixtures. No matter how nice the original ones were, over time they accumulate scale, rust, and the shininess just plain wears off with years of cleaning and water deposits
There are different styles to choose from when shopping for a new fixture. Depending on the configuration of the current sink or tub, choose one with similar setup to make things easiest on you. Before you shop, take note of the faucet handles and remember whether they are single handled push and pull faucets, or double handled with separate handles for hot and cold.
If you plan to rent out your unit, try to choose a better quality product that won’t be so fragile when used by vigorous families. You are the one they will call when it fails to work, so consider that factor when deciding whether to spend the extra money on a better built unit.
Next, note the size of the current faucet. Most sinks will accommodate either 4” or 8” fixtures. Some faucets come with a cover plate to mask the working parts of the faucet beneath it and are good for covering up any imperfections around the sink plumbing.
Whatever type and style fixture you choose for your upgrade, make sure that you pick matching fixtures. The bath and sink faucets should look the same for the best quality appearance. If you are looking at modernizing the bath, try using the contemporary style fixtures.
If you must replace the sink, don’t forget to coordinate the faucets with the look of the new sink’s lines. Is it old fashioned looking? Is it more sleek and modern in style? Do the same with the tub or shower as well.
The bottom line is that it should all match in type and style. If you have questions, most home improvement stores have sales clerks that will be willing to help you in your choice.
The Internet also has many useful sites that will aid you in determining the sturdiest faucets manufactured or the trendiest styles. Keep in mind, though, that the safest bet may be to choose something that will appeal to most. Steer away from anything too trendy or you may find it out of date in a few short years and you’ll have to replace them again.
