When it comes to renovating a home, remodel a bathroom is a great option. When it comes to renovations, most experts advise starting with the bathroom. Whether the goal is to increase a home's value, make the home safer or simply to have a more enjoyable bathroom to use, all homeowners should consider remodeling their bathroom if it is more than just a few years old.

Here are five reasons to remodel a bathroom. 

1. Remodels can make a bathroom safer The bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms of a home. Bathrooms cannot use carpeting, and wet tile can be slippery. By remodeling a bathroom, it is possible to make it far safer for seniors or those with limited mobility. In some cases, it may be worth installing a walk-in tub to allow seniors to bathe without worrying about falls.

2. New bathrooms are enjoyablePeople spend time in the bathroom shortly after they wake up and right before they go to bed. In addition, many enjoy relaxing in the tub after a long day of work. Having a modern, clean and new bathroom can make one's day more enjoyable. Even simply upgrading to a larger tub may be enough to significantly improve a bathroom.

Compared to the kitchen, a remodeled bathroom will generally cost less and give homeowners stronger returns.

5. The costs are affordablePeople often fail to consider remodels because they can be prohibitively expensive. Remodeling a bathroom, however, can be far cheaper than remodeling another room. Because they are typically small, bathrooms do not require as much material as other rooms. Further, workers can finish tasks quickly, which reduces labor costs considerably.
