If you're thinking of selling your house and it has older and outdated kitchen and bathrooms you're probably thinking thousands of dollars to remodel and upgrade.
There is a low cost alternative to replacing bathtubs, showers, counters, etc. by simply having them professionally refinished. We sold our house in 2007. It was built in the 70s I believe and each of the three bathrooms had different colored fixtures and tile. One was yellow, one was avocado, and the other was a funky brown and gold.
After some investigation I found a company called Miracle Method of Knoxville who refinishes tiles, tubs, etc., in place with very high grade paint and totally changes the look to a clean, modern finish.The entire process, depending on how much you do, takes anywhere from 1 to 3 days. If you're worried about durability they guarantee the finish for 5 years against peeling and flaking.
They have a showroom in the Middlebrook Pike area near Wright's Cafeteria so you can go by and see their work firsthand.
In each bathroom they repainted the bathtub and all the tile along the walls. I installed new vanities, mirrors, light fixtures, and a new, comfort height commode along with new vinyl flooring. My total cost per bathroom was under $2,000 and the difference was enormous.
BTW, our house sold at full price in a week. The buyers were totally blown away by the bathrooms and kitchen in a 35 year old house. So if you're thinking of selling your older house please give lots of thought to how your bathrooms and kitchen will appear to prospective buyers.
