A fixed-price bathroom project from our Plano-based DFW team serving The Colony homeowners, with designers, project leads, and tradespeople who finish on the day they said they would. Eleven years, one promise: your quote is your price.
A bathroom remodel in The Colony typically runs $8,000 to $60,000 with UHS Remodeling, quoted as a fixed price before work begins. A hall-bath refresh sits near the lower end, while a full primary-bath gut with a curbless shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and relocated plumbing reaches the upper range. UHS Remodeling pulls and coordinates the plumbing and electrical permits and inspections with your local building department as part of the project. A major cost driver for baths is the age of the home: in older housing stock, tearing out original mud-set showers and garden tubs frequently exposes dated galvanized or cast-iron drain lines, subfloor moisture damage, and undersized venting that have to be corrected to current code. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We handle design, selections, permits and construction in-house, with one superintendent on site and a dated schedule before demolition starts.
The goal: open, layered light, a room the house gathers in.
Most bathroom remodels in The Colony run $8,000 to $60,000. A guest or hall bath with a tub-to-shower swap, new vanity, tile, and fixtures sits at the lower end; a full primary-suite bath with a freestanding tub, frameless glass enclosure, double vanity, and relocated plumbing lands toward the top. Permits for the work are pulled through the City of The Colony Building Inspections Department via the eTRAKiT online portal, with plan review tied to the city’s Planning and Development Department. A common cost driver here is the age of the original 1970s-90s plumbing: in those older tract homes, opening a wall often reveals galvanized or dated supply lines and drain layouts that need updating to current code before new tile and fixtures go in, which adds plumbing and sometimes electrical scope. Lakefront and golf-course baths in The Tribute push higher on finish selections rather than structure. UHS prices the full scope up front, so there are no surprise change orders mid-project. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We remodel bathrooms across The Colony — Eastvale, Legends and Legend Crest, Austin Ranch, Stewart Peninsula, and the lakefront primary suites in The Tribute and Waterford Point.
Keeping the toilet, sink, and shower in place saves $3K–$6K. Relocating them for a better layout adds rough-in and permit work.
A frameless walk-in shower with a bench and niche costs more than a standard alcove — but it’s the #1 request from The Colony primary baths.
Floor-to-ceiling tile and intricate patterns add labor hours. A waterproofed wet wall with an accent strip gets the look for less.
Quartz is durable and mid-range; natural marble and exotic stone push the top of the range.
Builder-grade vs. designer shower systems and freestanding tubs can swing the budget $2K–$8K on their own.
Fixed scope and a written schedule before anyone swings a hammer in your house.
Layout review, scope (guest bath vs primary), fixture wishlist, budget alignment.
3D layout + tile/stone/fixture selection. Drain + niche placement specified before demo.
Plumbing + electrical permits, HOA submission if exterior wall changes in The Colony.
Demo, rough plumbing, framing, tile, vanity install. Daily site lead on premises.
Punch list, water-test all fixtures, 1-year warranty on workmanship active.
“What makes a The Colony bath feel finished isn’t the tile — it’s the threshold, the niche depth, the drain placement, the doorframe reveal. We design those before demo because retrofitting them after is what makes a remodel feel cheap.”
A bathroom remodel in The Colony almost always starts with the same thing: a bathroom that was framed in the 1970s, 80s, or 90s, when Fox & Jacobs first built out this “City by the Lake” as affordable single-family tract housing. Decades on, those original hall and primary baths in Eastvale, Legends, and the older Lewisville Lake neighborhoods carry fiberglass tub-showers, cultured-marble vanity tops, and dated tile that homeowners are ready to replace. On the newer side, The Tribute’s 2000s-and-later lakefront and golf-course homes bring a different brief: builder-grade primary baths owners want upgraded into spa-style suites with freestanding tubs, frameless glass, and curbless showers. UHS Remodeling handles both ends of that range across The Colony with a fixed-price model and a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Renderings from our design studies — the finished Plano projects are above.
I hired UHS Remodeling for a complex wet-room project including a freestanding tub, open shower, and an infrared sauna. I’m extremely impressed with their precision — they followed every technical specification perfectly, maintaining exact clearances and ensuring a zero pinch-point layout. If you need a team that understands high-end design and follows field measurements to the letter, this is it. Truly a spa-like result.

Most of a The Colony bathroom budget is labor and waterproofing — not the fixtures homeowners obsess over. Here’s how a typical $32,000 primary-bath remodel breaks down, so you know where every dollar goes before you sign.
Because labor and waterproofing dominate the budget, the cheapest bid is rarely the safest one — cutting waterproofing is invisible on day one and catastrophic in year three. Every UHS The Colony bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Ranges are for a typical 60–150 sq ft The Colony bathroom, materials and labor included.
All ranges include design, materials, labor, permits, waterproofing, and 1-year warranty. Sourced against NARI Cost vs. Value 2025 and EPA WaterSense efficiency standards.

Bathroom remodels in The Colony typically range from $8,000 to $60,000. A straightforward guest-bath update lands near the lower end, while a full primary-suite bath with a freestanding tub, frameless glass shower, double vanity, and moved plumbing reaches the upper end. UHS gives you a fixed price up front covering the whole scope.
Yes. Bathroom remodels that involve plumbing, electrical, or wall changes require a permit from the City of The Colony Building Inspections Department, submitted through the eTRAKiT portal with plan review by the Planning and Development Department. UHS handles the permitting and inspections as part of the project.
Much of The Colony’s housing was built by Fox & Jacobs from the 1970s through the 1990s, so many baths still have original plumbing and drain layouts. When we open the walls, dated supply lines often need updating to current code before new tile and fixtures go in, which can add plumbing and electrical work. We identify that scope up front so it’s in your fixed price, not a surprise.
A bathroom remodel in The Colony typically ranges from $8,000 to $60,000, depending on size, fixtures, and finish level.
Usually the tile labor and any plumbing relocation, then the shower system – glass, valve, and waterproofing – and the vanity. A full bathroom remodel in The Colony runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.
Bathroom remodel costs in The Colony range from $20,000 for an upgraded guest bath to $55,000+ for a full luxury master spa suite. Most The Colony homeowners spend $34,000-$46,000 on a full custom master bathroom with freestanding tub, frameless walk-in shower, natural stone or marble-look porcelain, heated floors, and premium Kohler, Brizo, or Moen fixtures.
Labor and tile work are typically the two largest line items, each running 22-28% of the total. Plumbing fixtures follow at 14-20%, and vanity cabinetry at 10-14%.
An upgraded guest bath or powder room takes 4-6 weeks of on-site construction. A full custom master bathroom runs 6-9 weeks. A luxury master spa suite takes 9-12 weeks. Add 3-5 weeks before demolition for design, fixture ordering, and permitting.
Yes. The The Colony Building Inspection Department requires permits for any bathroom remodel involving plumbing rough-in changes, electrical modifications, or structural work. UHS handles the entire permitting process.
For most The Colony homeowners, replacing the rarely-used garden tub with a larger frameless walk-in shower delivers daily usable luxury. A freestanding soaking tub in a corner preserves the sculptural element without the clunky footprint.
Tier 1: Moen, Delta Trinsic, Kohler Alteo or Purist. Tier 2: Kohler Artifacts, Brizo Rook or Litze. Tier 3: Brizo Invari, Waterworks, premium Kohler. Freestanding tubs from Signature Hardware, Kohler, or MTI.
Large-format porcelain in marble-look patterns is the best value – 40-60% less than real stone with zero maintenance. Natural quartzite and honed marble are the upgrade options for Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects.
Yes. Radiant heated floors are a standard upgrade on Tier 2 and Tier 3 The Colony bathroom projects. Upgrade cost is typically $1,800-$3,500 and is one of the highest-value additions you can make.
Yes. We coordinate so the household can use a secondary bath during construction. Dust containment with plastic barriers, floor protection, and scheduled plumbing shutdowns minimize disruption.

Most DFW homes built since the 1990s sit on a post-tension slab: the concrete is compressed by steel cables tensioned to thousands of pounds (look for a round stamp in the garage floor or a PT note on the slab edge). Cutting or drilling that slab without locating the cables first is dangerous and expensive – a severed tendon can whip through the concrete and the repair is significant. Any remodel that moves plumbing in the floor – relocating a kitchen island sink, converting a tub to a curbless shower, adding a bathroom – must start by mapping the tendon layout from the foundation plans or an electronic slab scan, and the work is permitted and inspected. Before any contractor cuts your slab, ask exactly how they will locate the cables; at UHS every slab penetration is mapped and permitted before demolition day.
