A fixed-price bathroom project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Carrollton homeowners, with designers, project leads, and tradespeople who finish on the day they said they would. Eleven years, 5,875 projects, one promise: your quote is your price.
A bathroom remodel in Carrollton 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 Carrollton land between $8,000 and $60,000, with the spread driven by scope: a straightforward guest-bath refresh sits near the low end, while a gutted primary suite with a curbless walk-in shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and moved plumbing reaches the upper range. Permits are pulled from the City of Carrollton Building Inspection department through its CityServe portal under “Remodels & Additions to Single-Family Dwellings,” and any plumbing, electrical, or mechanical contractor must be both Texas-licensed and registered with the City of Carrollton before a permit is issued. The biggest Carrollton-specific cost driver for baths is the housing stock’s age: in homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s, opening the walls often reveals original galvanized or cast-iron drain lines, undersized supply lines, and outdated wiring that all need updating to code once a wet wall is exposed. That hidden replumb and rewire is the line item that most often separates a cosmetic budget from a full-gut one here. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We remodel bathrooms throughout Carrollton, including Castle Hills and The Highlands, Josey Ranch, Valley Ranch, Country Place, Indian Creek, Saddlebrook Estates, and the older homes near Historic Downtown Carrollton.
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 Carrollton 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 Carrollton.
Demo, rough plumbing, framing, tile, vanity install. Daily site lead on premises.
Punch list, water-test all fixtures, 3-year warranty on workmanship active.
“What makes a Carrollton 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.”
Carrollton bathrooms tell their age fast. With the city’s median home built around 1987-88, most primary and hall baths here still have their original 1980s footprint: a cramped fiberglass tub-shower, a single vanity, a separate water closet, and a garden tub nobody uses. In the older ranch pockets east and southeast toward I-35E, the issue is even tighter mid-century baths with one small window and dated cast-iron plumbing. UHS Remodeling has handled bathroom renovations across Carrollton’s traditional brick two-stories and the upscale homes of Castle Hills, where buyers expect a spa-style primary suite. Whether you want a curbless walk-in shower, a freestanding tub, a double floating vanity, or simply to gut a leaking 35-year-old guest bath down to the studs, we build it on a fixed price with a 3-year workmanship warranty. We have completed 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014.

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.
Your design lead, May N., helps you choose the tile, fixtures, and layout that fit your bathroom.
Most of a Carrollton 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 Carrollton bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Ranges are for a typical 60–150 sq ft Carrollton bathroom, materials and labor included.
All ranges include design, materials, labor, permits, waterproofing, and 3-year warranty. Sourced against NARI Cost vs. Value 2025 and EPA WaterSense efficiency standards.

Yes. The City of Carrollton requires a permit for bathroom remodels through its CityServe portal under “Remodels & Additions to Single-Family Dwellings” whenever you alter plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems or move walls. Carrollton also requires that the contractors doing that plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work be Texas-licensed and registered with the city before the permit is issued. UHS handles the permitting and the licensed trades for you.
Carrollton’s median home was built around 1987-88, and the ranch homes in the older east and southeast sections near I-35E date to the 1950s-1980s. When we open the walls in these baths we frequently find original cast-iron or galvanized drain lines, undersized supply lines, and dated wiring that must be brought to code. That replumb and rewire is hidden until demo, which is why we inspect carefully up front and price the full scope on a fixed bid with a 3-year workmanship warranty.
A bathroom remodel in Carrollton 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 Carrollton runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.
Most Carrollton bathroom remodels run between $8,000 and $60,000. A cosmetic guest-bath update stays near the low end, while a full primary-suite gut with a walk-in shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and relocated plumbing reaches the top of the range. In Carrollton’s 1950s-1980s homes, replacing original cast-iron or galvanized plumbing once the wall is open is the most common reason a project moves up in price. UHS works on a fixed-price model so your number is locked before demo starts.
Labor and tile are each 22–28% of the total. Plumbing fixtures follow at 14–20%, vanity cabinetry at 10–14%.
Upgraded guest baths take 4–6 weeks. Full custom master baths run 6–9 weeks. Luxury spa suites take 9–12 weeks. Add 3–5 weeks for design, materials, and permitting.
Yes. The City of Carrollton Building Inspection department requires permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes. UHS handles the full permitting process.
For most Carrollton 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: Waterworks Henry, Brizo Invari, Kohler Artifacts.
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 for Tier 2/3 upgrades.
Yes. Radiant heated floors are standard on Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects. Upgrade cost $2,500–$4,500 with programmable thermostat.
Yes. We coordinate so the household can use a secondary bath. Dust containment, 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.
