The corner garden tub is the first thing to go.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Garland?

A bathroom remodel in Garland 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.

What changes the price

Five things that move a Garland bathroom remodel up or down.

A bathroom remodel in Garland typically runs $8,000 to $60,000, with a straightforward hall or guest bath landing near the lower end and a full primary-suite bath with a curbless shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and moved plumbing reaching the upper end. Permits for the work are pulled through the City of Garland Building Inspection Department, the named department handling residential remodeling, additions, and the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC permits a bath touches. The biggest Garland-specific cost driver is the age of the housing stock: with most homes built in the 1960s through 1980s, we frequently find original galvanized or cast-iron drain lines, dated wiring, and slab-set plumbing that has to be rerouted before new fixtures go in. Reconfiguring the small, closed-off bathroom footprints common in these mid-century ranch homes also adds labor versus a simple cosmetic refresh. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.

We remodel bathrooms throughout Garland, including Duck Creek, Eastern Hills, Camelot, Centerville, Embree, Spring Park, Club Hill near Lake Ray Hubbard, and the Firewheel area.

01
Moving plumbing

Keeping the toilet, sink, and shower in place saves $3K–$6K. Relocating them for a better layout adds rough-in and permit work.

02
Shower vs. tub-and-shower

A frameless walk-in shower with a bench and niche costs more than a standard alcove — but it’s the #1 request from Garland primary baths.

03
Tile height & pattern

Floor-to-ceiling tile and intricate patterns add labor hours. A waterproofed wet wall with an accent strip gets the look for less.

04
Stone & counters

Quartz is durable and mid-range; natural marble and exotic stone push the top of the range.

05
Fixture grade

Builder-grade vs. designer shower systems and freestanding tubs can swing the budget $2K–$8K on their own.

“What makes a Garland 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.”

Built for Garland homes

Bathrooms designed for how Garland homes are actually built.

Garland is a mature, post-WWII Dallas County suburb where most homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, which means a typical bathroom here is now decades old and overdue for a real update. UHS Remodeling has completed work across DFW since 2014, and in established Garland neighborhoods like Duck Creek, Eastern Hills, Camelot, Centerville, Embree, and Spring Park we regularly open up cramped original baths, replace tired tubs and vanities, and bring dated plumbing and finishes up to modern standards. Newer pockets around Firewheel near the Firewheel Town Center tell a different story, but the city’s core ranch and traditional single-family homes share the same challenge: small, sectioned-off bathrooms with original tile, single sinks, and aging fixtures. Our fixed-price model and 1-year workmanship warranty take the guesswork out of remodeling a Garland bathroom that has not been touched since the home was built.

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.

What you’re actually paying for in a Garland bathroom remodel.

Most of a Garland 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.

Line item
Typical share
Labor & project management
30–35%
Demo, framing, install, daily site lead, one project manager coordinating every trade.
Tile, stone & waterproofing
20–25%
Shower pan, niche, full waterproofing membrane, floor and wall tile, grout, sealing.
Plumbing & electrical
15–20%
Fixture rough-in, drain relocation, GFCI circuits, exhaust, permits and inspections.
Cabinetry & counters
12–18%
Vanity, quartz or stone top, storage, hardware.
Fixtures & glass
10–15%
Faucets, shower system, toilet, freestanding tub, frameless glass enclosure.

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 Garland bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Garland?

Yes. Bathroom remodels in Garland are permitted through the City of Garland Building Inspection Department. Because most bath projects move or update plumbing, electrical, and HVAC, the related trade permits are pulled alongside the main permit. UHS Remodeling handles the permitting and inspections as part of our fixed-price scope.

Why do older Garland homes cost more to remodel a bathroom?

Garland’s housing stock is largely from the 1960s through 1980s, so bathrooms in these mid-century ranch and traditional homes frequently have original cast-iron or galvanized drain lines, dated wiring, and slab-set plumbing. Updating those systems and reconfiguring the small, closed-off original footprints adds work compared to a simple cosmetic refresh, which is why an older Garland bath can cost more than a like-for-like swap.

What should you avoid when remodeling a bathroom?

A bathroom remodel in Garland typically ranges from $8,000 to $60,000, depending on size, fixtures, and finish level.

What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel?

Usually the tile labor and any plumbing relocation, then the shower system – glass, valve, and waterproofing – and the vanity. A full bathroom remodel in Garland runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Garland, TX?

Most Garland bathroom remodels run between $8,000 and $60,000. A guest or hall bath update sits near the lower end, while a full primary bath with a custom shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and relocated plumbing reaches the upper end. UHS Remodeling works on a fixed-price model, so your number is set before we start. The most common cost variable in Garland is the age of the home, since 1960s-1980s houses often need original plumbing and wiring updated as part of the job.

What is the most expensive part of a Garland bathroom remodel?

Labor and tile each run 22–28% of the total. Plumbing fixtures follow at 14–20%, vanity cabinetry at 10–14%.

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Garland?

Upgraded guest baths take 3–5 weeks. Full custom master baths run 5–8 weeks. Luxury spa suites take 8–11 weeks.

Does Garland require permits for bathroom remodeling?

Yes. The City of Garland Building Inspection Department requires permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes. UHS handles the full permitting process.

Should I keep my garden tub or replace it with a larger shower?

For most Garland homeowners, replacing the garden tub with a larger walk-in shower delivers daily usable luxury. A freestanding soaking tub in a corner preserves the sculptural element.

What fixture brands do you recommend for Garland bathrooms?

Tier 1: Moen, Delta Trinsic, Kohler Alteo. Tier 2: Kohler Artifacts, Brizo Rook or Litze. Tier 3: Brizo Invari, Waterworks, premium Kohler.

What is the best tile for a Garland bathroom?

Large-format porcelain in marble-look patterns is the best value — 40–60% less than real stone. Natural quartzite and honed marble for Tier 2/3 upgrades.

Do you install heated floors in Garland bathrooms?

Yes. Radiant heated floors are standard on Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects. Upgrade cost $1,800–$3,200.

Can I remodel my Garland bathroom while living in the house?

Yes. We coordinate so the household can use a secondary bath. Dust containment, floor protection, and scheduled plumbing shutdowns minimize disruption.

My DFW home has a post-tension slab – what does that mean for a remodel?

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.
