It is a master bath with a garden tub, floor and part of the wall covered in 4" nonglossy white tile, presumably porcelein. It is 10 years old so some of it is cracked or crazed and in some places the grout and caulk have failed. We are trying to decided whether to have it repaired by replacing only broken tiles and having failed grout and caulk professionally fixed followed by professional steam cleaning or whether we should have brand new and more up to date tile installed. I want the former because this bath with continue to match the other baths in the house and I think a good result can be accomplished and with a nice new shade of paint on the dry wall (I'm thinking Behr Baked Scone) it can look great. Our neighborhood is established and in high demand and many of our neighbor's homes have the same tile. What do you think?

You can always add instant value to a house by upgrading bathrooms and kitchens. If I were you I would replace it and maybe remodel the bathroom at the same time. You will defiantly get your money back out of it.
