A fixed-price bathroom project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Allen 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 Allen 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 Allen run $8,000 to $60,000 — a powder-room or guest-bath refresh sits near the low end, while a full primary-bath gut with a curbless shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and new tile lands in the middle-to-upper range. UHS works on a fixed-price model, so your number is locked before demolition. Permits and inspections for Allen bathroom work go through the City of Allen’s Building and Permitting Division (part of Community Development), submitted via the Citizen Self-Service portal; because remodeling a bath usually means moving plumbing, water lines, and electrical, plan review and inspection are typically required. The biggest Allen-specific cost driver is layout change: those 2000s-era primary baths often have load-bearing or plumbing-wall constraints, so converting a separate tub-and-shower into a single large walk-in shower means rerouting drains and supply lines — labor that pushes a remodel up the range. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We remodel bathrooms across Allen — Twin Creeks, Star Creek, Watters Crossing, Montgomery Farm, Cumberland Crossing, Waterford Crossing, and Bethany Lakes.
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 Allen 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 Allen.
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 an Allen 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.”
Allen is a younger suburb than most of its Collin County neighbors, and that shapes nearly every bathroom we remodel here. With a median build year around 2003 and roughly half of Allen homes built after 2000, the typical bathroom in Twin Creeks, Star Creek, or Watters Crossing is now 20 to 35 years old — original to a late-1990s or 2000s build and showing it. We see the same patterns again and again: a cramped builder-grade primary bath with a garden tub nobody uses, a fiberglass shower surround, golden-oak vanities, and dated tile. UHS Remodeling reworks those layouts into curbless walk-in showers, double floating vanities, and proper lighting and ventilation. In master-planned Allen communities like Montgomery Farm and Bethany Lakes, we also work within HOA and architectural standards so your updated bath fits the home and the neighborhood.
From our Plano bathroom remodel case study — curbless spa bath on a slab foundation.

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 an Allen 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 Allen bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Ranges are for a typical 60–150 sq ft Allen 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.

Usually yes. The City of Allen’s Building and Permitting Division (Community Development) handles residential remodel permits through its Citizen Self-Service portal. Because a bathroom remodel typically involves moving plumbing and electrical, plan review and inspections are generally required. UHS manages the permitting and inspections as part of the project.
Most Allen homes were built in the late 1990s and 2000s, so the bathrooms are now 20 to 35 years old with builder-grade fixtures and a separate garden tub plus a small fiberglass shower. The most common Allen request is converting that into one large curbless walk-in shower, which means rerouting drains and supply lines — the main reason scope and cost vary.
Avoid relocating plumbing unless you truly need to (each fixture moved on a slab foundation adds about $1,500 to $4,000), skimping on waterproofing behind the tile, and choosing trendy finishes over durable ones. The most common mistake is starting demolition before the design and every selection is finalized. Lock those first and your budget and timeline hold.
Usually the tile labor and any plumbing relocation, then the shower system – glass, valve, and waterproofing – and the vanity. A full bathroom remodel in Allen runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.
Bathroom remodels in Allen generally run $8,000 to $60,000. A guest-bath or powder-room update sits at the lower end; a full primary-bath gut with a walk-in shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and new tile lands in the middle-to-upper range. UHS quotes a fixed price up front, so the figure is set before demolition begins.
A bathroom remodel in Allen typically takes 4-8 weeks from demolition to completion. Cosmetic refreshes take 2-3 weeks. Mid-range remodels average 4-6 weeks. Full gut renovations with layout changes can run 6-10 weeks.
In most cases, yes. Garden tubs are rarely used and occupy significant floor space. Replacing one with an oversized walk-in shower creates a more functional, contemporary bathroom. A freestanding tub alongside the shower provides both options without wasted space.
The City of Allen requires permits for plumbing changes, electrical modifications, or structural alterations. Cosmetic updates like replacing a vanity or swapping fixtures in the same locations typically do not require permits. UHS Remodeling handles all permits and inspections.
Porcelain tile is the best all-around choice for bathroom showers. It is durable, water-resistant, and available in thousands of colors and patterns. Large-format porcelain tiles reduce grout lines for a cleaner look. Natural marble and zellige tiles work well as accents.
A walk-in shower in Allen typically costs $5,000-$15,000. A basic tiled shower with glass panel runs $5,000-$8,000. Mid-range walk-in showers with frameless glass average $8,000-$12,000. Premium showers with marble tile and body sprays can cost $12,000-$20,000+.
Yes. If your tub is in good condition, we can remodel everything around it – new tile surround, fixtures, vanity, flooring, lighting, and hardware. This approach is cost-effective for secondary bathrooms and can transform the room for $8,000-$18,000.
Radiant floor heating is a high-satisfaction upgrade. Electric heating mats installed beneath tile add $1,200-$3,000 depending on square footage. The luxury of warm floors during North Texas winters makes this a popular, relatively low-cost addition with strong resale appeal.
Yes. A mid-range bathroom renovation typically recoups 60-70% of its cost at resale. In Allen’s competitive market, an updated primary bathroom is a strong differentiator – buyers expect modern, move-in-ready bathrooms and will discount homes with dated fixtures.

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.
