7 Expensive Renovations Homeowners ALWAYS Regret

Luxurious Spa Tub

Putting in a luxurious spa tub is a recurring expensive home renovation that homeowners ALWAYS regret later. A free-standing spa tub might be an outstanding element in the coveted spa-like bathroom. But this update might just turn out to be a renovation washout.

These tubs have a starting price of about $200 and can go up to $15,000. They take up a lot of precious room and are problematic to keep clean and tidy. Plus, they’re not a good option if you want to contribute to conserving water.

So instead of buying a spa tub, we recommend purchasing a quality showerhead. It’ll be a more affordable option while also leaving you with ample space in the bathroom.
