Help! 70s rounded bath/tub needs makeover

9 years ago

What is this even called and how can I fix it without replacing the inserts? The inserts throughout the house are all acrylic, not the typical fiberglass but the 70s rounded corners just grates on me. The only thing I've found that might work is to add a wood casing around it that extends to the ceiling.

And yes, the yellow counter is hideous - already have plans for that, framing the mirror, removing the carpet and replacing it with tile.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm stumped and can't find this style anywhere on the internet.

It has a cool 80's Contemporary Memphis Movement Italian vibe to it, so it could be a great original detail that would be valuable to the home. Does the rest of the home have similar interesting features? 80's Contemporaries and becoming more appreciated and their values are rising if they have those original details.

It won't be easy to either disguise, or change. Use is as is until you are ready to remodel the bathroom. It will need to be completely gutted and renovated to change that.

Bummer. That's what I thought. This is our forever home so I'm not worried about adding value to it per se - just doing what we want. Thank you for your insight!
