I recently worked on an older house in Palos Verdes, CA in which the faucets, tub and shower fixtures were in really bad shape. I was able to replace all the Kohler fixtures with no problem, but I was unable to find replacements for the shower knobs because the trim pieces were discontinued.
In a case like this, the best option is to have them re-surfaced. It wasn't inexpensive, but they turned out beautiful and it saved the trouble of hiring a plumber to replace the valves in the wall.
An excellent tip for caring for bathroom and kitchen fixtures is to periodically wax them with car wax and maintain them with regular cleanings using lemon pledge. It makes perfect sense because these products protect the metal finishes from water and soap build-up.
Updating the bathrooms with new fixtures was an excellent fix for this old house. Call us today and we can help you prepare your house for sale or for enjoying.
