The bathroom is the most personal room in a Dallas home – and it is the room where design choices have the biggest impact on how your home feels every single day. A cramped 1980s tub-shower combo with yellowed grout, dated brass fixtures, and a laminate vanity does not just look bad – it drags down the daily experience of living in your home. A thoughtfully designed bathroom with proper lighting, quality tile, modern fixtures, and a layout that actually works transforms your morning routine and adds meaningful resale value.
At UHS Remodeling, bathroom renovations are our second most-requested service across Dallas, behind only kitchens. We have rebuilt primary bathrooms, secondary baths, hall baths, and luxury powder rooms in every major Dallas neighborhood – from Highland Park estates to Oak Cliff bungalows to Uptown condos. Every project is managed by a single dedicated project lead, built by our W-2 crews (no day labor, no subcontractor lottery), and backed by a written 3-year workmanship warranty.
Dallas bathroom projects fall into four distinct categories, each with its own scope, budget range, and timeline. Here is how each type plays out across Dallas neighborhoods.
The most affordable Dallas bathroom remodel – and often the best ROI play for homeowners planning to sell within 2-3 years. Typical scope: new vanity (single-sink, 30″-36″), new faucet and mirror, new tile surround in the tub-shower combo (large-format porcelain or ceramic subway), new toilet, new lighting (recessed or sconce pair), fresh paint, and updated hardware. Layout stays the same. We keep the existing tub unless it is damaged or dated beyond saving. Timeline: 3-4 weeks. This tier is most common in East Dallas, Oak Cliff, Lake Highlands, and Casa Linda.
The sweet spot for Lakewood, M Streets, Knox-Henderson, and mid-range Preston Hollow and North Dallas homes. Scope: full gut and rebuild of the primary bathroom – remove the old tub-shower combo and replace with a walk-in glass shower (curbless or low-curb), add a freestanding tub (if space allows), install a new dual-vanity (60″-72″) with quartz or marble top, new tile floors (heated mat optional), new lighting (recessed, sconces, and pendant or chandelier over the tub), new plumbing fixtures (matte black, brushed nickel, or unlacquered brass), and new ventilation fan. Layout changes may include moving the toilet to a water closet or expanding into an adjacent closet. Timeline: 5-7 weeks.
This is Highland Park, University Park, and upper Preston Hollow territory. Scope: full spa-style transformation – oversized walk-in shower with frameless glass, rain head, body jets, and steam option; freestanding soaking tub (stone, cast iron, or composite); dual vanity with full-slab marble or quartzite top; heated porcelain or natural stone floors; custom millwork (built-in linen cabinets, floating shelves, furniture-style vanity bases); premium fixtures (Waterworks, Rohl, Brizo, or Kohler Composed line in brass, gold, or matte black); custom tile (marble mosaics, zellige, handmade ceramic); architectural lighting; and private water closet with bidet seat. Timeline: 8-14 weeks.
The powder room is the smallest room in the house – and often the biggest design opportunity. Because it is a guest-facing space with no shower or tub, Dallas homeowners can go bold: statement wallpaper, dramatic stone vanities, sculptural mirrors, and accent lighting that would be impractical in a wet bathroom. Budget powder room refreshes (new vanity, faucet, mirror, paint, light) run $8,000-$14,000. Mid-range updates with custom vanity, stone countertop, and designer tile floor run $16,000-$28,000. Full luxury powder rooms in Highland Park – with onyx slab vanities, Calacatta marble walls, solid brass fixtures, and custom lighting – reach $32,000-$55,000. Timeline: 2-4 weeks.

The single biggest trend in Dallas bathroom remodeling right now is the shift from tub-shower combos to curbless walk-in showers. In primary bathrooms across Lakewood, Preston Hollow, and Highland Park, homeowners are removing the old tub-shower unit entirely and replacing it with a spacious walk-in shower with frameless glass – then adding a separate freestanding tub as a sculptural element. This layout opens up the bathroom visually, improves accessibility, and delivers a much more modern aesthetic.
Freestanding tubs have replaced built-in drop-in tubs as the dominant tub style in Dallas primary bathrooms. Oval, rectangular, and asymmetric shapes are all popular. Materials range from acrylic ($1,200-$2,500) to cast iron ($2,800-$5,000) to solid composite stone ($4,000-$12,000+). Placement is critical – the freestanding tub works best under a window, against a feature wall, or centered between dual vanities.
In Highland Park and Preston Hollow luxury bathrooms, natural marble and quartzite are overtaking porcelain tile for walls and floors. Full-slab marble shower walls (bookmatched for a dramatic veined look), marble mosaic floor tiles (herringbone, basketweave, or hexagon), and Calacatta or Statuario marble vanity tops dominate the luxury tier. Honed finishes are preferred over polished for a more organic, spa-like feel.
Brushed nickel is fading in Dallas. The two fixture finishes dominating 2026 projects are matte black (clean, modern, high-contrast) and unlacquered brass (warm, timeless, develops a natural patina over time). We are seeing matte black in Lakewood and East Dallas mid-range projects, and unlacquered brass in Highland Park and Preston Hollow luxury bathrooms.
Full spa-style primary bathrooms with natural marble, heated floors, steam showers, custom millwork vanities, and premium fixtures. Separate Town of Highland Park permits. We coordinate with interior designers who manage the broader estate aesthetic. Powder rooms in the Park Cities often reach $35,000-$55,000 with onyx or marble slab vanities and custom lighting.
Mid-century modern homes with large primary bathrooms that need full gut-and-rebuild modernization. Clean-lined floating vanities, frameless glass, large-format porcelain tile (60x120cm), and linear drain showers are the defining elements. Freestanding tubs positioned against floor-to-ceiling glass are a Preston Hollow signature.
The core Dallas bathroom remodeling market. Craftsman and Tudor homes from the 1920s-1940s with small primary bathrooms (often 5×8 or 6×9) that need to be reconfigured for modern use. Most projects involve converting a tub-shower combo to a walk-in shower, adding a furniture-style vanity, upgrading tile to subway or handmade ceramic, and adding period-appropriate lighting (schoolhouse sconces, industrial pendants). Honed marble or matte porcelain floors with heated mats are the most popular flooring choice.
Budget and mid-range bathroom refreshes for 1920s-1940s bungalows. New vanity, new tile surround, updated fixtures, and fresh paint are the standard scope. Some Kessler Park homeowners push to $45,000-$55,000 for full primary bath rebuilds with walk-in showers and custom tile. Oak Cliff bathroom projects are our fastest-growing segment in Dallas.
Condo bathrooms with tight footprints and HOA restrictions. We handle all HOA approvals, elevator scheduling for material deliveries, and quiet-hour compliance. Design trends lean toward European minimalism – wall-hung vanities, frameless glass, large-format tile (fewer grout lines = cleaner look), and concealed-cistern toilets.
“Alex and Louis did an excellent job on our bathroom renovation. They worked efficiently, kept the space very clean, and even left the hallway carpet cleaner than when they arrived. The new walk-in shower with the pebble floor is exactly what we wanted.” – Verified Google review, UHS Remodeling
“Our Highland Park powder room went from a 1990s disaster to something out of a design magazine. The onyx vanity and brass fixtures make every guest do a double take. UHS nailed it.” – Verified Google review, UHS Remodeling

Get My Bathroom EstimatePreston Hollow bathroom remodeling projects are typically whole-suite transformations rather than incremental upgrades. The primary bathrooms in these estate homes were often built with generous square footage but dated finishes – thick travertine from the early 2000s, Jacuzzi tubs that go unused, and shower enclosures that felt luxurious at the time but now read as their era immediately. UHS Remodeling reconfigures Preston Hollow primary bathrooms with the full luxury vocabulary: freestanding soaking tubs positioned as visual focal points, frameless glass walk-in showers with floor-to-ceiling large-format porcelain or natural stone, thermostatic valve systems with multiple body spray functions, heated tile floors, custom double vanities built as furniture pieces rather than contractor cabinetry, and integrated LED lighting that elevates every surface. These projects are design collaborations – our team works from your reference images and vision, then executes at the craft level the neighborhood commands.
Lake Highlands bathroom remodeling demand centers on two project types that together represent the overwhelming majority of what UHS Remodeling performs in this neighborhood. The first is the tub-to-shower conversion: hundreds of Lake Highlands homes still have the original builder-standard tub-only master bathroom from 1975 or 1982, and families who never use the tub consistently choose to convert that square footage to a walk-in frameless glass shower with built-in bench seating, a shower niche, and modern tile work. The second project type is the double-vanity expansion: original master baths were designed for single-sink configurations that no longer work for two-person households with morning schedules to keep. UHS Remodeling opens walls, relocates plumbing, and installs double-sink vanities with proper counter depth and storage that makes the bathroom genuinely functional for modern family life.
The M Streets – also known as Greenland Hills, the historically platted neighborhood between Mockingbird and the SMU perimeter – contains one of the densest concentrations of 1920s and 1930s craftsman bungalows and Tudor cottages in Dallas. Bathrooms in these homes are among the most challenging and rewarding renovation projects UHS Remodeling takes on: original 5-foot tubs, subway tile from the Roosevelt administration, and floor footprints that were designed before modern plumbing code. Our team approaches M Streets bathrooms with a preservation-forward sensibility – hex tile floors, subway tile walls, nickel or chrome fixtures with period-appropriate profiles – while upgrading the underlying systems (plumbing, waterproofing, electrical) to current standards. The goal is a bathroom that feels as if it could have been this way all along.
The East Dallas corridor stretching from Lower Greenville through Lakewood Shores and into the neighborhoods east of Abrams Road contains a broad range of housing stock – from 1940s pier-and-beam cottages to 1980s infill construction – and a uniformly renovation-ready market. Buyers purchasing in East Dallas today expect updated kitchens and bathrooms, and sellers who have not yet remodeled are discovering that buyers discount heavily for original condition in this price tier. UHS Remodeling performs bathroom remodels throughout East Dallas at a range of price points: targeted upgrades for homeowners preparing to list (new vanity, tile surround, fixtures – the high-visibility changes that photograph well), and full gut-renovations for homeowners planning to stay and want the bathroom to perform at the level the neighborhood now commands.
