A bathroom is the smallest room in the house and the hardest to remodel well, because it's the one that has to hold back water for decades. Get the waterproofing behind the shower wrong and it doesn't show for a year, then it shows as rot and mold in the wall. In Houston's humidity that margin is even thinner. We remodel bathrooms across the Houston area with the waterproofing done right behind the tile, and a clear line around scope: cabinets, tile, showers, vanities, flooring, and finishes are what we do, while moving plumbing or electrical is a separate scope we don't take on.
What a bathroom remodel includes
A bathroom renovation packs more trades per square foot than any other room, and we self-perform the ones that make up the build: tile, shower and tub work, vanities, flooring, drywall, and paint, plus setting the vanity, toilet, and fixtures in place.
The line is the same as any remodel we do: we work within the existing plumbing and electrical layout. Moving the shower valve, relocating the toilet, or adding circuits is a separate scope we don't take on. We reuse the existing locations, build everything else, and tell you clearly at the start what's in and out so the project is planned around it.
Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions
The walk-in shower has largely replaced the second tub, and a tub-to-shower conversion is one of the most popular Houston bathroom projects — it opens up the space and makes it far more usable day to day.
We build the shower: demo the old tub, build and waterproof the pan and walls, tile it, and set the enclosure. A conversion that reuses the existing drain and valve location is a straightforward build for us; relocating the drain or the valve is plumbing work and a separate scope, so we design the shower around where the connections already are. A shower remodel done this way updates the whole bathroom without moving what's behind the wall.
Bathroom tile and waterproofing
Tile is what a bathroom remodel is judged on, and waterproofing is what decides whether it lasts. They're the same job done in the right order.
Bathroom tile installation — shower walls, floors, niches, and accents — laid out so the pattern is centered and the cuts fall where they belong. Behind the shower tile, before any tile goes up, is the part nobody sees and everybody pays for if it's skipped: a waterproof pan and membrane that keeps water out of the wall and the framing. In Houston's humidity a shower that isn't properly waterproofed rots from the inside, so this is where we don't cut corners.
Vanities, flooring, and paint
Around the shower, the vanity and the surfaces finish the room.
Vanity installation: setting the cabinet level and the top in place, with the vanity and fixtures mounted — reusing the existing water and drain locations. Flooring built for a wet room — tile or luxury vinyl, which handle standing water and humidity where other floors fail. Drywall repair and moisture-tolerant finishes on the walls and ceiling, and paint rated for a bathroom. Because we handle the demo, the waterproofing, the tile, and the finishes in-house, the room goes together as one job.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A standard full bathroom remodel typically runs about two to three weeks of active work, and the timeline is driven as much by drying and curing as by labor. Demo and prep take a couple of days; the waterproofing and tile are the pacing items, because the pan, the membrane, the thinset, and the grout each need time to cure before the next step — rushing them is exactly how a shower fails early.
Scope changes the number. A small bathroom remodel or a guest bath refresh — new tile, vanity, and fixtures without changing the layout — can move faster. A master bathroom remodel with a large tiled shower, double vanity, and separate tub takes longer simply because there's more tile, more waterproofing, and more to cure. Material lead times can stretch it too, which is why we order finishes before demo starts. We give you a realistic window with the estimate.
What a bathroom remodel costs in Houston
Bathroom remodel cost in Houston tracks the size of the room and the size of the shower more than anything. A small or guest bath that keeps its layout is the low end; a master bathroom remodel with a large tiled shower and double vanity is the high end, because tile and waterproofing are labor-intensive and there's simply more of both.
What moves your number: the amount of tile, the shower size and complexity, the vanity and fixtures you choose, the flooring, and whether the layout stays put. Keeping the plumbing and electrical where they are avoids that separate scope and is the biggest lever on cost. These are ranges, not quotes — we price after seeing the bathroom.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A standard full bath typically runs about two to three weeks of active work. The waterproofing and tile pace the job because the pan, membrane, thinset, and grout each need to cure. A small guest bath can be faster; a master bath with a large tiled shower takes longer. We give a realistic window with the estimate.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Houston?
It tracks the size of the room and the shower. A small or guest bath that keeps its layout is the low end; a master bath with a large tiled shower and double vanity is the high end, because tile and waterproofing are labor-intensive. Keeping plumbing and electrical in place is the biggest lever on cost. We quote after seeing it.
Do you move plumbing or electrical for a bathroom remodel?
No. Moving plumbing or electrical is a separate scope we don't take on. We reuse the existing drain, valve, and outlet locations, build and waterproof the shower, set the tile, vanity, and fixtures, and tell you where that line is before we start.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes — it's one of the most popular Houston bathroom projects. We demo the tub, build and waterproof the pan and walls, tile it, and set the enclosure, designed around the existing drain and valve location. Relocating the drain or valve is a separate plumbing scope.
Do you waterproof behind the shower tile?
Yes, and it's the part that matters most. Before any tile goes up we build a waterproof pan and membrane that keeps water out of the wall and framing. In Houston's humidity a shower that isn't properly waterproofed rots from the inside, so we don't cut corners there.
Do you do small guest baths and large master bathrooms?
Both. A small or guest bath that keeps its layout is a faster, lower-cost refresh; a master bathroom remodel with a large tiled shower and double vanity is a bigger build with more tile and waterproofing. We scope and price to the room.
