Bathroom Remodel Seattle

Waterproofing: We open the shower area, check the substrate and moisture issues, and install the right waterproofing system for the scope, such as Schluter, Wedi, HydroBlock, RedGard or Laticrete

Tile & Heated Floors: We help plan tile layout, shower floor mosaic, niche details, Schluter edges and heated floor options before materials are ordered

Licensed Plumbing & Permit Review: If plumbing, electrical, ventilation or layout changes are part of the bathroom remodel, we review permit needs and coordinate the right licensed trades

Start With the Shower Assembly

Seattle remodeling service photo

A bathroom is built from the wet area out, so that is where a bathroom remodel in Seattle should start.

The order behind the wall is the whole game:

  1. Open the shower and check the real condition of the framing and substrate.
  2. Pick the waterproofing system before anything decorative.
  3. Set the valve, pan and curb.
  4. Run the water test, then tile.

If the wall is damaged, the insulation is wet, or the old base should not be tiled over again, we deal with that before any finish goes back. A system like RedGard, Wedi or HydroBlock belongs in the scope by name, not hidden under the word waterproofing.

Material timing matters too. Tile, vanity, faucet, shower trim, glass, mirrors and lighting should be picked, or at least linked, before demo, so the room is not sitting open waiting on an ETA.

The main thing: a quote that just says new shower and a quote that spells out substrate, waterproofing, pan, water test, valve and tile cuts are not the same job.

Seattle Bathroom Remodel Cost

One verified Renova Contractors LLC bathroom closed at $16,406.09 plus finishes, and it was a shower rebuild, not a full expansion. That scope covered demo, damaged substrate, compromised waterproofing, insulation, HardieBacker, RedGard, a custom shower base, a one-day water test, a plumbing reset, large-format wall tile, a mosaic shower floor, and glass and vanity removal and reinstall.

For general planning, Seattle bathroom remodel cost tends to start near $10,000 for small work and run $15,000 to $35,000+ once waterproofing, tile, plumbing, glass, vanity and electrical are involved. Those are market figures, not a fixed Renova price.

What moves the number is the system behind the tile, not the tile color:

  • shower pan or custom base
  • waterproofing system, where RedGard over cement board is leaner and Wedi or HydroBlock costs more but combines board and barrier
  • tile size and layout, plus the niche, curb and window cuts
  • Schluter edges and a heated floor
  • plumbing valve or drain changes and shower glass
  • owner-supplied versus contractor-supplied materials

So a $12,000 new shower and a $22,000 shower with a named waterproofing system, a water test, a plumber scope and real tile cuts are not the same job, even though both say shower.

Clear Remodeling Process:
Our 5-Step Coordination Plan

Remodeling has moving parts. We define scope, document assumptions, and coordinate each phase so you know what is happening from consultation through final walkthrough.

1

Site Inspection & Design Lock

Structural WalkthroughWe look at the existing bathroom, access, plumbing locations, floor condition and any visible moisture concerns before writing the estimate
Material CurationWe help review tile, fixtures, vanity, shower glass, lighting and trim pieces early so ordering does not hold up the project later
Defined Scope PricingYou get a line item estimate with the main inclusions, exclusions, allowances and still-to-confirm items written out before demo starts
2

Permits & Material Procurement

City ApprovalsWhen plumbing, electrical, ventilation or layout changes require permits, we review the scope and coordinate the permit path with the licensed trades involved
Staging the MaterialsTile, vanity, plumbing trim, mirrors, lighting, shower glass and specialty trim pieces should be selected or ordered early because missing materials can delay the next trade
Strategic SchedulingWe try not to open the bathroom until long-lead materials are selected, ordered, or at least confirmed with a clear ETA
3

Demolition & Waterproofing

Dust ContainmentWe protect the path, cover nearby areas and use dust containment where needed so demo does not spread through the house more than necessary
Rerouting UtilitiesIf the scope includes plumbing or electrical changes, licensed trades handle the valve, drain, outlet, fan, lighting or heated floor wiring work before walls close
The Waterproof BoxWe install the selected shower assembly, which may include cement board, foam board, membrane waterproofing, RedGard, Wedi, HydroBlock, Schluter details or another system approved for the scope
4

Custom Tile & Fixture Install

Precision Tile WorkTile layout is planned around the shower floor, wall tile, niche, curb, window cuts, grout lines and exposed edges before install starts
Setting the VanityVanity, countertop, mirror, lighting and plumbing trim need to line up with the finished wall, tile and fixture locations
Plumbing Trim OutFinal trim can include shower valve trim, toilet reset, faucet hookup, drain connection, silicone, accessories and fixture testing
5

Inspections & The Final Handover

Passing City CodeIf permits or inspections are part of the scope, we coordinate the required inspection steps before the project is closed out
Detail WalkthroughWe walk the space to check shower glass fit, vanity alignment, plumbing trim, grout details, silicone, hardware, paint touch-ups and anything owner supplied
Deep Clean & WarrantyThe closeout should leave the bathroom clean, usable and documented, with final items tracked instead of left floating in random text messages
Design & SourcingMaterial Help

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about scope, estimates, scheduling, and project coordination

How can I find reliable bathroom remodelers in Seattle

Compare the written scope first, not just the final number. Reliable bathroom remodelers in Seattle should explain what is being removed, what is being rebuilt, who is doing the plumbing, what waterproofing system is being used, what materials are owner supplied, and what still needs to be confirmed. If one quote says “new shower” and another quote lists damaged substrate, compromised waterproofing, HardieBacker, RedGard, custom shower base, 1-day water test, licensed plumber, tile cuts and Schluter edges, those are not the same quote.

What affordable bathroom remodel ideas actually save money

Keep the layout mostly where it is. That is usually where the real savings are. If the toilet, shower valve, drain, vanity and lights can stay close to the same location, the job is a lot easier to control.

Things that can help keep the bathroom remodel price down:

  • do not move plumbing unless there is a good reason
  • reuse the vanity if it is still in decent shape
  • pick tile before demo starts
  • avoid tiny cuts and complicated tile layouts everywhere
  • keep the shower size close to the existing footprint
  • confirm fixtures early so we are not waiting on random backorders
  • use contractor discounts when possible
  • separate what homeowner is buying from what Renova Contractors LLC is supplying

The one thing we do not like to cheap out on is waterproofing. If the shower already has bad substrate, old moisture damage, or compromised waterproofing, covering it with new tile is not really saving money. It just hides the problem for later.

What are the best bathroom remodel ideas for Seattle homes

The best bathroom remodel ideas are the ones that fix the wet area first and then improve the layout. Walk-in showers, better ventilation, cleaner lighting, larger vanity storage, tile niches, better shower glass, heated floor in some bathrooms, and better material selections can all make sense. But for Seattle bathrooms, the real upgrade is usually behind the tile: waterproofing, shower pan, plumbing valve location, exhaust fan, substrate and clean tile layout.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Seattle

Permits depend on the actual bathroom scope. Simple finish updates are different from moving walls, changing plumbing, adding electrical work, changing ventilation, adding a bathroom, or rebuilding a shower assembly that exposes framing and insulation. If electrical wiring is being installed, altered, extended or connected, that is the kind of item that can need an electrical permit. The safe answer is to review the scope before assuming the bathroom is permit-free.

What should be included in a bathroom remodel quote

A bathroom remodel quote should show the rough work and the finish work separately enough so nobody is guessing. For shower work, the scope may include demolition of the existing shower assembly required to access damaged substrate, compromised waterproofing and underlying structure. It should also say if there is insulation replacement, HardieBacker, RedGard, custom shower base following the current footprint, 1-day water test before tile installation, licensed plumber work, vanity reinstallation coordination, large-format tile, mosaic shower floor tile, niche cuts, window cuts and Schluter on exposed edges.

How do I know if the shower waterproofing is good enough

The quote should say what is behind the tile and what waterproofing system is being used. It should not just say “tile shower” or “new shower.” A real scope should mention the board or system, like HardieBacker, Wedi, HydroBlock, Ditra, RedGard, Laticrete or another approved waterproofing approach. Not every system gets used together and not every bathroom needs the same assembly, but the homeowner should know what is being installed before the shower gets closed up.

Can Renova Contractors LLC help with bathroom design and material selections

Yes. Renova Contractors LLC can help with bathroom design, adding a bathroom if plumbing and layout make sense, and material selections before the job gets messy. Tile, floor tile, fixtures, vanity, shower glass, mirrors, lighting and hardware should be reviewed before ordering. Renova Contractors LLC also has a bathroom material library where homeowners can look through bathroom products and ideas: Renova Contractors LLC bathroom material library. If material is coming from Contract Furnishing Mart or another supplier, Renova Contractors LLC can check the order, wait until everything looks good on your end, place the order, and give the ETA once it is available.

What is a 1-day water test before tile installation and why does it matter

A 1-day water test means the shower base is tested before tile goes in, so we know the pan is holding water before it gets covered. It is one of those small steps that matters because once mosaic tile, wall tile, niche cuts and glass are installed, fixing a bad shower base becomes a much bigger problem. For shower rebuilds, Renova Contractors LLC may build a custom shower base following the current footprint and do the water test before tile installation so the waterproofing issue is not being guessed after the fact

Can existing shower glass doors and hardware be reused after a shower remodel

Yes, existing shower glass doors and hardware can sometimes be reinstalled if they still fit the new finished opening and are in good condition. The part that needs to be checked is the new tile thickness, shower curb, wall alignment, hardware holes and whether the old glass actually works with the new shower layout. If the current footprint stays close to the same, reuse is more realistic. If the opening changes, the curb changes, or the old hardware does not line up, then new shower glass may make more sense

Should bathroom materials be ordered before the remodel starts

Most finish materials should be selected and either ordered or at least confirmed before the job gets too far. Tile, floor tile, vanity, plumbing fixtures, shower glass, lighting, mirrors, hardware and any special trim pieces can affect schedule and rough work. We do not want to demo the bathroom and then find out the tile has no ETA, the vanity size changed, or the fixture needs a different rough-in.

Better items to confirm early:

  • tile and grout
  • shower floor mosaic
  • vanity size
  • faucet and shower fixtures
  • shower glass plan
  • mirrors
  • lighting
  • hardware
  • Schluter / trim finish
  • niche size or layout
  • any owner supplied items

If material is coming from Contract Furnishing Mart or another supplier, Renova Contractors LLC can check the order, wait until everything looks good on your end, place the order, and give the ETA once it is available.

How does Renova Contractors LLC keep homeowners updated during bathroom remodeling work

Renova Contractors LLC can create a group text chat for the project, especially when the homeowner is not home during the workday. That makes it easier to send updates, ask quick material questions, confirm access instructions, and let the homeowner know what happened that day or what is next. For bathroom remodeling, small decisions can slow things down fast, so having one place for updates helps with tile arrival, fixture questions, schedule changes, working hours and anything that needs approval before moving forward.

Seattle Bathroom Remodel Reviews

Real feedback from bathroom remodel projects in Seattle.

  • 5 out of 5 stars

    We worked with Nick and the Renova team for our bathroom remodel and only have great things to say. Our Queen Anne home was built in the 1930's and had many quirks and the last time the bathroom had been touched was the 70's. They trusted our vision and design and gave realistic but reasonable quotes to get us to that vision. It only took them 2.5 weeks to do a significant remodel and the results are amazing. Throughout the processes they were communicative - even while we were traveling abroad we knew what was occuring and are so happy with the results. We will definitely work with this team again.

    We added a master and guest bedroom and master bath basically remodeled the entire upstairs of our 40 year old home. We lived on our main floor for nearly 2 months, which we thought would be impossible. However it was an enjoyable experience – everyone was great to work with, professional in every way and very thoughtful to our needs. Super experience. Highly recommend RENOVA!!

    Dimitri and his team are amazing craftsmen! They worked on our older Seattle mid century modern home to completely gut and update our three bathrooms. Their attention to detail is amazing and they treated our home like it was their own. They made sure to cover all the floors and drape the house with plastic to manage dust which we really appreciated. From demo up to delivering the final product he was very communicative and included us in decision making. They worked and coordinated so well when other subs came in. We trusted Dimitri and his team and our dogs loved them too. I have rehabbed many homes and I have never seen the amazing tiling craftsmanship that they delivered in three distinctly designed bathrooms. They work hard and were completely dedicated to our project to get it done on time and within our budget. In closing, I will hire them again for a couple of other major projects we have to finish our home.

    Nick and his team had our old kitchen ripped out, and the new cabinets installed in less than 4 days. Then, in just a couple days, the new quartz countertops were in. As soon as the demo was done, the cabinets were up—no waiting around for days or weeks. We really can’t say enough about their speed and craftsmanship. Very professional! We’d definitely do it again. And we’ll for sure be calling Nick when it's time to remodel the bathroom. Thanks again, Nick! We really appreciate you and your team.

    We had an outstanding experience with our contractors on our bathroom remodel. From the start, they showed real integrity and a clear, thoughtful plan for the project. Everything was communicated up front, there were no surprises, and they stayed true to the plan from beginning to end. Their attention to detail really shows in the finished space. Every element feels carefully considered and beautifully executed. They were also incredibly respectful of our home while working in it, keeping things clean and organized throughout the process. The team was professional, efficient, and completed the project quickly without cutting corners. It is rare to find a group that combines skill, transparency, and genuine care for their clients’ homes. I would absolutely work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel.

    I was recommended to Renova by my friend Sao for a toilet replacement. They were super responsive and literally got an opening next-day to stop by and do the work in less than 2 hours for a very reasonable price. I was impressed by how considerate they were - they asked if I wanted them to remove their shoes and, when I didn't, instead asked for a towel to clean their shoes so they wouldn't stain the floor. They did a really great job - I only wish they had taken away the existing toilet but I can do that myself for not too much pain.

    These gentlemen were extremely professional, personal, and punctual. The three P's that every home owner is looking for. They were happy to handle all of our home repair jobs and did so quickly. From painting the walls and our deck, to grouping the floors in the bathroom, these guys handled it all with skill. They even did some touch up painting that we didn't request, they just saw it needed to be done and did it. I cannot say enough nice things about them.

    Renova contractors are amazing my old bathroom was remodelled in three weeks, they completely made it unrecognisable. Walk in shower with tile looks amazing. Great communication, Nick and Mike did an amazing job through the whole project. They helped me source all the materials and gave me a discount. Great team of workers, kept everything clean, sealed off the work area. Really enjoyable and great results.

    Briefly worked with nick and Renova team for my bathroom remodel in my Mercer island house. The work looks good overall. Tile work is good, drywall, paint, vanity ( we sourced it ourselves). The only concern was the cost of plumbing. I understand that licensed plumbers usually charge more but I didn’t expect it to be that much for a simple job like valves and fixtures replacement ( the plumbing work alone was $2900 plus the cost of permits). But the bathroom is done right and that’s what matters ( also you need to consider the fact the inspections by the city to sign off the permit might delay the job for a day or two and I didn’t expect that ) That’s the only reason it’s 4 star instead of 5. But, I will definitely hire them again should we have a project.

    I am just amazed by the bathroom transformation that RENOVA did in our Mill Creek home. From the very first call Mike lead me through the process, he involved his interior designer who worked with me and helped me bring my ideas together that would compliment the overall look of the bathroom interior. Through the whole project Mike communicated and kept me in the loop. Dima and his crew were amazing, polite, clean and very communicative, Oleg was very kind and was very polite. RENOVA set a high standard for other companies in Seattle, interior designer, tile installation, plumbers and electricians all under one roof. The best thing was they helped me order everything and delivered everything. I am amazed and very grateful I haven’t had that kind of service in my life. This was a pleasure. Thank you again Mike, Dina,Oleg,Diana and the rest of the RENOVA crew, it was a great experience.

    Nick and the Renova team updated a bathroom in our condo in Seattle. They removed a shower insert and glass door, upgraded the shower head and faucet, and tiled the shower area. They did a really nice job, especially with the tiling work. We were in Oregon during the entire job, and we appreciated Nick’s communication with us that included progress reports with pictures at the end of each day. We will definitely consider them for future jobs.

    Recently got my primary bathroom remodeled, turned the tub into a walk-in shower, and it came out so beautiful. Elena , my designer, really has an eye for this stuff—she guided me through picking options I didn’t even know I wanted. Nick, my project manager, was super involved, always answering my questions and concerns, really helpful too. The best part of the reno has to be the 4-shelf shower niche. The tile work is amazing, and it fits all my shower stuff with room to spare. Didn't even know a niche like that was possible, but now it's not only great to look at but super functional. Would definitely use this team again for future projects and highly recommend.

    Renova contractors did an awesome job with building me my custom automotive shop. Nick was a great project manager, from my first call to my last call he was great at communicating, during the project he always kept me in the loop and updated on the stages of the project. Mike was a great guy to work with and Dima who built me the bathroom inside the garage was a pro in his field. The framing is done great I even took some photos sorry for the mess. I wish I took the photo before I parked all my projects in there. Renova contractors are just the perfect contractors, polite, communication is their priority along with craftsmanship.

    I was looking to renovate my bathroom, and I got an in-person visit and quote the same day I reached out. Unlike other contractors who over promise and under deliver, Mike and Nick were the opposite. They gave realistic timelines and ultimately exceeded all our expectations. They’d notice things my husband and I didn’t catch and would fix them right away. If you want honest hardworking people to help you make your home beautiful, I highly recommend them!

    Hired Renova Contractors for a bathroom remodel. It was a master bathroom remodel. My first point if contact was Nick and he was a pleasure to work with. I didnt have to wait for the estimate weeks he sent me it that day. The best part was we stayed on budget and no changes in pricing so his estimate was more if a cost sheet. They had a licensed plumber and electrician we did major layout changes. The walk-in shower with a soak tub in it is really an eye catcher. I worked with their interior designer Dayana she was really kind and did several rendering and consulted my wife and me on the colors and the palets. Mike was sourcing all the materials and passed the discount to us they get some sort if contractors discount through their suppliers. Anyways the project turned out great, on budget and on time. I give them a high rating because it was a smooth and stress free experience with great results. Thank you Renova Contractors keep up the great work.

Bathroom Remodel Details That Should Be Clear Before Work Starts

A bathroom remodel in Seattle goes smoother when the order of work and material decisions are clear before demo starts. It is not only about picking tile or a vanity. The real issue is whether the layout is staying the same, what needs to be opened, what materials are already selected, and what has to be confirmed before plumbing, electrical, waterproofing and tile work start.

Materials and lead times

Tile, grout, shower floor mosaic, vanity, plumbing fixtures, lighting, mirrors, hardware, shower glass and trim pieces should be picked early. Not every item has to be sitting in the house on day one, but the size, model, finish and responsibility should be clear. If material is coming from Contract Furnishing Mart or another supplier, Renova Contractors LLC can check the order, wait until everything looks good on your end, place the order, and give the ETA once it is available.

This matters because a bathroom can get torn apart fast, but backordered tile, wrong vanity size, missing Schluter trim, or a fixture with different rough-in can slow the whole job down.

Layout, tile and shower glass

Keeping the toilet, shower valve, drain, vanity and lights close to the same location usually helps control the price. Once plumbing or electrical starts moving around, the bathroom remodel becomes a different scope.

Tile layout also changes labor. Large-format tile, mosaic shower floors, niche cuts, curb details, window cuts, exposed Schluter edges and tight layouts take more time than basic tile work. Shower glass should also be planned around the finished tile and curb dimensions. Sometimes existing glass can be reused, but only if the new opening, tile thickness, hardware holes and wall alignment still work.

Rough work, electrical and ventilation

Rough work should be handled before the bathroom is closed back up. That can mean plumbing reset, shower valve location, drain work, exhaust fan, lighting, switches, GFCI outlets, heated floor wiring, insulation replacement or drywall repair. If electrical wiring is being changed, extended or connected, permit items can come into play.

Closeout and small finish details

A bathroom remodel should also have a clear closeout path. That means checking paint touch-ups, shower glass fit, vanity alignment, plumbing trim, silicone, grout details, cabinet hardware, mirror height, lighting, and anything that was owner supplied. Small finish details are easier to fix when they are tracked instead of left as random text messages after the job is basically done.

Comparing bathroom contractors in Seattle

When comparing bathroom remodeling companies in Seattle or Seattle bathroom remodeling services, compare the written scope, not just the final number. A clean quote should explain demo, substrate, waterproofing system, plumber scope, shower pan, water test, tile layout, material responsibility, permits if needed, and what still needs to be confirmed. A cheaper quote is not always wrong, but if it leaves out waterproofing details, glass timing, material ordering, electrical work or owner supplied items, then it may not be the same bathroom remodel
