Three levels of bathroom, from fixtures to a full renovation

You’re in the bathroom first thing and last thing, every day. It’s also the room most people put off. Here’s what the three levels of work include, so you can pick the one that fits.

Refresh: the fixtures, the fan and the light

The quickest change with the most daily effect.

  • Faucets and shower fittings. A new shower head changes the feel of every shower.
  • The fan. If the mirror stays fogged, the fan is too small or too tired. A properly sized, quiet fan clears the room and protects the paint and the grout.
  • Lighting. Light at the mirror, from the sides rather than above, is the single change people notice most.
  • Grab bars, if you want them, in finishes that match the fittings.

Upgrade: the shower, storage and access

  • A new shower or fixture set, often with a hand-held and a rain head.
  • Storage that gets things off the counter.
  • Safer access: a lower threshold, a seat, a better door.

This is the level for a bathroom that’s sound but tired.

Renovation: the full room

  • A larger renovation with a new layout where it helps.
  • An accessible shower with no step, for now or for later.
  • Steam, a radiant floor, or other comfort features.

This is the level for a bathroom you want to redo once and properly.

How we plan it

A visit to measure the room and look at the plumbing, the ventilation and the wiring. Then a written scope and price for the level you choose. Nothing starts until you approve it, and a renovation is planned in stages so the bathroom is out of action for as short a time as possible.

Questions people ask

Can I do the refresh now and the renovation later? Yes. We plan the refresh so nothing has to be undone.

Does a steam shower need special wiring? It needs a steam generator with its own power and water. We check the panel and the plumbing before quoting.

How long is a renovation? It depends on the scope. You get a schedule with the written price.
