Expert Bathroom Remodeling in Seattle, WA | 20+ Years | Licensed & Insured
Tired of looking at that outdated ’90s tile every morning? Or maybe your shower leaks every time you use it? You’re not alone. Thousands of Seattle homeowners deal with bathrooms that just don’t work anymore—cramped layouts, water damage hiding behind walls, or fixtures from when grunge was still playing at the Crocodile.
We’ve spent over two decades fixing exactly these problems across Seattle, from Capitol Hill bungalows to Ballard Craftsman. And here’s what we’ve learned: your bathroom should make your morning better, not worse.
Project Experts With Over 20 Years of Experience
We started remodeling bathrooms in Seattle back in 2003. That means we’ve seen every challenge this city throws at us—from foundation issues in old Wallingford homes to the tricky plumbing in mid-century Bellevue ranches.
Our team has completed over 500 projects. We know how to handle Seattle’s older housing stock without the surprises that drain your wallet. That 1920s Capitol Hill bathroom? We’ve remodeled dozens just like it. The tiny powder room in your Fremont condo? We’ve made miracles happen in smaller spaces.
Every crew member has at least 10 years of hands-on experience. No weekend warriors. No subcontractors we met last week.
What Is Cost of Bathroom Remodel Seattle?
Why Choose a Seattle Bathtub Guy?
You’ve got options when it comes to bathroom contractors. We get it. But here’s why homeowners from Queen Anne to West Seattle keep calling us first.
Licensed, Bonded, Insured & Certified
Washington State Contractor License. Fully bonded and insured with $2M liability coverage. NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association) certified designers on staff.
Why does this matter? Because when someone’s cutting into your walls and messing with your plumbing, you want to know they’re legally required to do it right. And if something goes wrong (it rarely does, but still), you’re covered.
Transparent Pricing & Satisfaction Guarantee
No bait-and-switch. No mysterious “unforeseen circumstances” that double your quote.
You’ll get a detailed, written estimate before we touch a single tile. Every line item is explained. If we find something unexpected during demo (and sometimes we do—hello, old Seattle homes), we call you immediately with photos and options before adding a penny to your bill.
Top-Quality Materials & Expert Craftsmanship
We source from local suppliers like Mutual Materials and Bedrosians Tile. You get access to the same high-end finishes that designers use, but without the designer markup.
Our tile installers have been doing this since before smartphones existed. Our plumbers are licensed masters who actually enjoy solving weird pipe puzzles. And our project managers? They text you updates and answer calls after 5 pm because they know you’re working too.
Tub & Shower Replacement Made Affordable
A full remodel isn’t always necessary. Sometimes you just need a new tub or a shower that actually drains properly.
We offer standalone replacements starting around $3,500. Same-day tub swaps in some cases. Shower pan replacements without tearing out your whole bathroom.
Flexible financing through means you can start your project now and pay over time. Rates as low as 4.9% APR for qualified buyers.
Our Bathroom Remodelers Seattle WA Services
We handle everything from simple fixture swaps to complete gut jobs. Here’s what we do.
The most popular service we offer. Most Seattle homeowners don’t use their tubs. You’re showering anyway—might as well have a shower designed for it.
We remove your old tub, build a proper shower pan with correct slope and waterproofing, install new tile or acrylic walls, add a glass door, and upgrade to a nice rain shower head.
Timeline: 5-7 days
Starting cost: $6,500
Works excellently for accessibility too. No step to climb over. Room for a bench. Space to actually move around.
This is the full treatment. We take it down to the studs and rebuild from scratch.
New layout, new plumbing, new electrical, new everything. You get to pick exactly what goes where. Move that awkwardly placed toilet. Add a double vanity. Finally get the storage you need.
Perfect for bathrooms that have multiple issues. At some point, patching and updating costs more than just starting over. Plus you get modern plumbing and electrical that meets current code.
Timeline: 4-8 weeks
Cost: $15,000-$60,000+ depending on size and finishes
Curbless, zero-entry showers are taking over Seattle. They’re accessible, easier to clean, and they look incredible in any style from modern to traditional.
We build them properly—that means a correct preslope, a waterproof membrane, and drains that actually work. Because we’ve fixed too many that other contractors messed up.
Add features like:
- Rainfall shower heads
- Body sprays
- Bench seating
- Niche storage built into the wall
- Linear drains (so much better than center drains)
- Steam shower conversion
Sometimes you just need a new tub. The old ones are stained, chipped, or the jets stopped working years ago.
We swap it out in 1-2 days for standard alcove tubs. Freestanding tubs take a bit longer since we’re usually reworking plumbing.
You can upgrade from a builder-grade tub to something nicer for $1,500-$3,000, including labor. If your tile’s in good shape, we often don’t even need to touch it.
Maybe the tub’s fine, but your shower situation is terrible. Moldy grout. Leaking door. That fiberglass insert from 1987 that’s permanently dingy.
We’ll tear it out and build you a proper tiled shower with a glass enclosure. Or if you prefer, install a high-quality acrylic system that looks good and won’t leak.
Timeline: 4-6 days
Starting cost: $5,500
Full Renovations & Layout Changes
Moving walls. Relocating plumbing. Borrowing space from that adjacent closet to make your bathroom actually functional.
This requires permits, architectural planning, and experienced contractors who understand structural issues. You’re not just updating finishes—you’re changing the bones of your home.
We work with structural engineers when needed (usually when touching load-bearing walls). We coordinate with electricians and HVAC techs. We handle the city inspection process.
Timeline: 6-12 weeks
Cost: $35,000-$80,000+
Authorized dealer and installer for Jacuzzi Bath Remodeling systems. These are high-quality acrylic systems that install quickly—often in just 1-2 days.
Great option if you want a fast update without the mess and time of full tile work. Jacuzzi products come with excellent warranties and actually hold up over time (unlike some cheaper acrylic systems).
Options include tub-to-shower conversions, bath liners, walk-in tubs, and complete bath systems.
Seattle homes love tiny bathrooms. We’ve seen it all—bathrooms where you have to close the door to use the sink. Showers so small you can’t bend over to wash your feet.
We specialize in space-saving solutions:
- Wall-hung toilets (gain 6-8 inches of visual space)
- Pocket or barn doors (no swing space needed)
- Corner sinks and vanities
- Recessed medicine cabinets and niche shelving
- Light colors and large-format tiles (make spaces feel bigger)
You’d be amazed at what we can do with 35 square feet when we plan it right.
Master Bathroom Upgrades
Turn your master bath into an actual retreat. This is where you’re allowed to splurge a little.
Popular features for Seattle master baths:
- Freestanding soaking tubs positioned by windows (hello, Green Lake views)
- Oversized walk-in showers with multiple shower heads
- Double vanities with tons of storage
- Separate toilet rooms for privacy
- Heated floors (life-changing on wet winter mornings)
- Custom tile work and accent walls
We’ve done master baths from $25,000 (a nice update) to $80,000 (a full luxury spa). You set the budget and we’ll show you what’s possible.
Our Process
We’ve refined this process over 20 years. It works. Here’s exactly what happens from first call to final walk-through.
Step 1: Free In-Home Consultation (Week 1)
You call or submit the contact form. We schedule a time that works for you—evenings and weekends are fine.
One of our owners comes to your home (not a salesperson). We look at your current bathroom, discuss what’s working and what’s not, take measurements, and talk about your goals.
We’ll ask questions like:
- Who uses this bathroom?
- What drives you crazy about it right now?
- Are you staying in this home long-term or planning to sell?
- What’s your rough budget range?
- Any must-have features?
Step 2: Detailed Quote & Design (Week 2-3)
We return to the office and draft a detailed proposal. This includes:
- Scope of work broken into specific tasks
- Materials list with specs and options at different price points
- Timeline with key milestones
- Line-item pricing for everything
- Renderings or sketches for custom work
- Warranty information
- Payment schedule
We email it within 5-7 business days. Then we schedule a follow-up call to review everything, answer questions, and make any adjustments.
Step 3: Construction (Weeks 4-14, depending on scope)
Day 1-2: Demo
We protect the rest of your home with plastic barriers and floor coverings. We set up a construction toilet if we’re taking yours out. We tear out the old stuff and haul it away.
Days 3-5: Rough-Ins
Plumbers run new lines. Electricians install proper lighting and outlets. We fix any subflooring issues, add insulation, install ventilation.
Week 2: Waterproofing & Prep
We build the shower pan if applicable, install backer board, apply waterproof membrane. This is the most important phase—cutting corners here leads to leaks later.
Weeks 2-3: Installation
Tile goes in. We let it set properly (no rushing). Then grouting. Then fixtures—toilet, vanity, tub/shower. Painting. Trim work.
Week 4: Finishing Touches
Final plumbing connections. Hardware installation. Caulking. Touch-ups. Deep cleaning.
Step 4: Final Walk-Through & Warranty (Final Week)
We do a detailed walk-through together. We demonstrate how everything works. We make sure you’re 100% happy.
If anything’s not perfect, we fix it immediately. No “we’ll get to that later.” We don’t collect final payment until you’re satisfied.
You get:
- 5-year workmanship warranty on everything we installed
- Manufacturer warranties on all fixtures and materials
- Care instructions for your new finishes
- Leftover materials (extra tile, paint, grout for future repairs)
- Photos of all your walls and plumbing before they got covered (trust us, this is handy later)
We check in at 30 days and 6 months to make sure everything’s still performing well.
Total Timeline: 2-10 weeks depending on project scope
A small shower replacement might take 2-3 weeks start to finish. A full master bath renovation with layout changes could take 8-10 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific project.
Featured Case Studies
Case Study #1: Historic Home Master Bath - Protecting Character While Adding Function The Challenge
Sarah and Mike owned a 1912 Craftsman on Capitol Hill that still had most of its original details—built-in cabinets, fir trim, leaded glass. But the upstairs bathroom was a 1970s disaster that previous owners had “updated” with zero respect for the home’s character.
They wanted modern function and accessibility (Mike’s dad was moving in with them) but they absolutely did not want it to look like a flip. Every contractor they’d spoken with wanted to gut everything and install generic subway tile.
Our Approach
We started by researching period-appropriate bathroom design from 1912. Then we sourced hex tile, pedestal sink, and fixtures that matched the era but met modern efficiency standards.
For accessibility, we designed a curbless shower with a fold-down bench—but used classic subway tile and a vintage-style handheld shower to make it look intentional, not institutional.
We kept the original fir window trim and door. We matched the existing baseboard profile. We even found a local craftsperson to build a medicine cabinet that matched Sarah’s kitchen cabinets.
The Results
- Walk-in shower with 36″ entry (wheelchair accessible)
- Pedestal sink with vintage-style fixtures
- Black hex floor tile with white subway walls (classic 1910s combo)
- Custom storage built into existing niche
- New ventilation fan hidden in ceiling (you can’t see it)
Cost: $31,000
Timeline: 6 weeks
Mike’s dad moved in two months later and the shower works perfectly for him. And Sarah says she gets compliments on the bathroom every time someone visits.
Case Study #2: Small Space Spa Transform - 38 Square Feet of Smart Design The Challenge
Jennifer’s Fremont condo had a bathroom the size of a closet—literally 38 square feet. The toilet was so close to the tub that your knees hit the edge. The vanity was a 24″ builder-grade particle board cabinet. No storage anywhere.
She worked from home and wanted a bathroom that felt calming, not claustrophobic. Budget was tight—$12,000 max.
Our Approach
Small spaces require precise planning. We did a complete layout redesign within the existing footprint:
- Replaced the toilet with a wall-hung model (gained 8″ of visual space)
- Installed a corner vanity with open shelving below
- Used large-format tiles on walls and floors (12×24 instead of small subway tiles—makes the room feel bigger)
- Added a recessed medicine cabinet instead of a boxy one
- Installed a glass shower door instead of curtain
- Used light colors everywhere
The Results
Same footprint, completely different feel. The bathroom actually feels spacious now.
Cost: $11,800
Timeline: 3 weeks
Jennifer’s favorite detail: we installed a skylight-style LED fixture in the ceiling that mimics natural light. In a windowless bathroom, it makes a huge difference for mood.
Case Study #3: Aging-in-Place Accessibility - Staying Independent at Home The Challenge
Bob and Linda (both in their early 70s) wanted to stay in their Wallingford home. They’d raised their kids there. Their friends were all in the neighborhood. Moving wasn’t an option.
But their bathroom was becoming dangerous. High tub walls. Slippery floor. No grab bars. Linda had fallen once already.
Their daughter found us and asked if we could make it safer without making it look “medical.”
Our Approach
We designed around ADA accessibility guidelines but used residential finishes instead of commercial ones:
- Curbless shower with linear drain
- Built-in shower bench at proper height
- Grab bars installed at all the right spots—but we used oil-rubbed bronze to match their fixtures instead of institutional steel
- Non-slip tile on the floor (textured porcelain that looks like wood)
- Handheld shower wand on a slide bar
- Comfort-height toilet
- Floating vanity with open space underneath (Linda uses a rolling stool sometimes)
- Lever handles on everything (easier to operate than knobs)
The Results
Bob and Linda can shower safely and independently. The bathroom looks beautiful—guests don’t notice it’s an accessible design unless you point it out.
Cost: $24,500
Timeline: 5 weeks
They sent us a Christmas card last year saying this remodel gave them peace of mind and let them stay in the home they love.

It depends on the scope. Here’s what to expect:

People use these words interchangeably, but there’s technically a difference:
Renovation means updating or restoring what’s already there. You’re keeping the same layout and footprint. New tile, new fixtures, new finishes—but the toilet stays where the toilet was.
Remodeling means changing the structure or layout. Moving walls, relocating plumbing, turning a tub into a shower and expanding into adjacent space.
Yes. It’s one of our most popular services.
Most people don’t use their tubs. You’re showering anyway. So why climb over that high tub wall every day?
We remove your tub, build a proper shower pan, tile the walls (or install a quality acrylic system), add a glass door, and upgrade to a nice shower head.
Absolutely. We work with interior designers all the time.
Some homeowners have already hired a designer before calling us. That’s fine—we can execute their plans. We’ll review the design for constructability (sometimes designers spec things that don’t work in real life) and provide feedback if needed.
According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2024 Cost vs. Value Report, bathroom remodels in Seattle return 60-74% of their resale cost.
But ROI isn’t the whole story. You also get:
- Faster sale (updated bathrooms sell 2-3 weeks quicker)
- Higher appraisal values
- Fewer buyer objections and requests for credits
- Better quality of life while you live there
