How an Acrylic Bathroom Remodel Increases Your Home’s Value—Fast

Updated: Aug 18

When it comes to remodeling a bathroom, homeowners are faced with a flood of options—tile, stone, fiberglass, marble. But there’s one smart material that’s gaining popularity fast: acrylic. Why? Because acrylic doesn’t just make your bathroom look better—it directly adds to your home’s value.

If you're looking for high ROIlow maintenance, and a sleek, modern finish that stands the test of time, an acrylic remodel is the shortcut to achieving all that without breaking the bank.


Let’s break down exactly how an acrylic bathroom remodel can make you money—fast.


1. Acrylic Remodels Offer One of the Highest Returns on Investment in Home Renovation

According to Zillow and Remodeling Magazine, bathroom remodels can deliver a 70–78% return on investment. But not all remodels are created equal. Tile and stone may look luxurious, but they come with high labor costs, long install times, and expensive maintenance.


  • Acrylic, on the other hand, delivers:

  • ·  Luxury appearance without luxury pricing

  • ·  Fast installation, sometimes in as little as one day

  • ·  Lower cost per square foot, while still increasing home resale value


An acrylic remodel can add $10,000–$20,000+ in appraisal value depending on your market and home condition. It’s a no-brainer investment if you're preparing to sell or refinance.


2. Acrylic Increases Visual Appeal Instantly—And Buyers Notice

Acrylic panels and tubs come in a variety of elegant finishes, from natural stone textures to high-gloss modern whites. The crisp, grout-free look instantly upgrades a tired, outdated bathroom into something that looks brand new and professionally designed.

And here’s what real estate experts know:


 “First impressions sell homes—and bathrooms are one of the top 3 rooms buyers evaluate.”

Two people converse in a modern bathroom with gray walls. A framed “e” and photos adorn the wall above a towel rack. They're smiling.

Buyers are walking into your home and thinking:


“Will I have to remodel this bathroom soon?”

  “Is it clean? Fresh? Easy to maintain?”

“Does it feel modern?”


With an acrylic remodel, the answer is an easy yes. That makes your home stand outsell faster, and often for more than the asking price.


3. Fast Installation = Faster Profits

Time is money, especially in real estate. Traditional tile remodels can take 1–2 weeks, depending on demo, waterproofing, setting, and grouting.

Acrylic bathroom systems, like the ones we install at Fix It! Bathroom Remodeling, can often be installed in just one to two days.


That means:


Less downtime

Less inconvenience

Faster sale readiness

Lower labor costs


You can list your home faster or start enjoying your remodel sooner—with zero compromise on quality.


4. No Mold, No Grout, No Problem—Future Buyers Love It


  • If you’ve ever had a tiled shower, you know the constant upkeep:

  • ·  Scrubbing grout lines

  • ·  Sealing stone

  • ·  Dealing with mold and mildew buildup



Acrylic doesn’t have these problems.

When prospective buyers hear this, they know they’re buying peace of mind, not a future headache. That makes your bathroom remodel a true value-add for families, investors, and aging homeowners alike.


5. Affordability That Adds Equity, Not Debt

Let’s talk cost:The average acrylic bathroom remodel costs 30–50% less than a full tile or stone bathroom remodel. For many homeowners, that means you can upgrade a bathroom without dipping into home equity lines of credit or large loans.

Instead of taking on $20k+ in debt, you can get a sleek, durable, easy-to-clean bathroom for a fraction of that—often under $10k.


That means:


You spend less

You raise your home's value

You pocket more equity


A smart investment that truly pays off.

6. Long-Term Warranty = Long-Term Buyer Confidence


Acrylic systems often come with lifetime warranties, especially when installed by reputable companies like Fix It! Home Services. That gives buyers (and you) peace of mind knowing that:

Your remodel is backed

There’s no risk of cracking, fading, or warping

You won’t have to redo it again for 20–30 years

When listing your home, a transferable warranty is a powerful selling feature—making your listing more attractive than the competition.


7. Future-Proof Design for Growing Families and Aging in Place


Many acrylic bathroom systems are designed to be modular and customizable. That means you can choose:

Low-step or walk-in tubs

ADA-compliant safety features

Custom shelving and seating

Slip-resistant surfaces



These are valuable features for:


Seniors who want to age in place

Families with young kids

Buyers looking for functionality and safety


When you invest in acrylic, you're not just creating a bathroom for today—you’re creating a flexible, accessible space for the next 10–20 years.
