Summary : Looking options which are not labor intensive for bathroom remodel , which is already in great condition. The option doesn't have to be cheap , but should be less labor intensive
Current Pic :
Longer version :
Bathroom : Great condition , well built , but outdated , needs cosmetic update to make it look modern
Problem statement : Feel bad to rip off everything , found some options online , but I feel the demo videos from these companies don't tell the whole story , so was looking for things that BP members practically used and have feedback on.
Ideas researched so far :
Luxury tile like wall panels - so you can install the panel in one go rather than tiling
Tile over Tile - of course with some important considerations such as condition of existing tile
Reglazing bath tub
Painting existing tiles and grouting
Updating all the fixtures , cabinets with high end items

If it’s a rental I think that’s fine, unless it’s to be a high-end rental. For a flip I would just make the tub surround a little less bulky and make the shower a bit bigger by eliminating that side of the tub surround to bring that wall as close to the tub as possible, and maybe even extend the other side as well closer to the toilet. Large showers are appealing.
