An average bathroom renovation increases a home\u2019s resale value by more than the original cost. Beware of including some trendy expensive items that are not worth spending money on and may fall out of style. Many of them do not recoup the initial cost. Avoid overspending on these additions.<\/p>\n

Steam Showers<\/h2>\n

Steam showers may be one of those expensive fads that lose their appeal. Especially at an installation price of around $12,000.00 They use less water than a shower but require more electricity to operate properly. Steam showers do not provide a decent return on investment when you sell the house.<\/p>\n

Stand-Alone Bathtubs<\/h2>\n

Free-standing bathtubs are a great design feature in a bathroom that has enough space. But many people do not bathe often\u2013making a fancy stand-alone tub a waste of money. If you don\u2019t use the bathtub very much, opt for a tub\/shower combination that provides for your needs. A basic tub costs $700.00. A luxury tub may cost up to $3000.00.<\/p>\n

Whirlpool Tubs<\/h2>\n

Whirlpool tubs cost up to $35,000.00 to install. You will never recover that investment. It costs more money to operate and requires more maintenance. Repairs for pumps and electrical components are expensive and messy.<\/p>\n

High Tech Niche Products<\/h2>\n

All of these techy niche products are unnecessary. You can use the bathroom for its designed functions without any of them. The installation costs add up quickly and the more toys you have, the more electricity you use. Much of the technology is far from problem-free and costs money to repair or replace.<\/p>\n
