A bathroom remodel in McKinney 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 McKinney land between $8,000 and $60,000, with the range driven by whether it’s a guest bath refresh or a full primary-suite rebuild with a custom walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and double vanity. Bathroom work that moves walls or alters plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems is permitted through the City of McKinney Building Inspections department under Development Services. A McKinney-specific cost driver: the city’s split housing stock. In 1890s-1900s Historic Downtown homes, opening a wall can reveal aging cast-iron or galvanized supply lines and brittle plaster that must be re-run and re-finished — real budget the bath itself doesn’t show. In Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and other master-planned communities, the bigger variable is HOA architectural review and re-routing original builder plumbing to relocate a shower or tub. We price these unknowns up front with a fixed quote, so a 110-year-old downtown bath and a 1990s suburban one each get an honest number. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We remodel bathrooms across McKinney — from Victorian and Craftsman homes in the Historic Downtown district to master-planned communities like Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, Trinity Falls, Tucker Hill, and Adriatica Village.
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 McKinney 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 McKinney.
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 McKinney 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.”
Bathrooms in McKinney rarely fit one mold, and that shapes every remodel we take on. In the Historic Downtown district — the second-largest historic district in Texas, with showcase homes dating to the 1890s — Victorian and Craftsman baths often hide cast-iron drains, original plaster walls, and tight footprints we have to open up carefully without erasing period character. A few miles away in master-planned Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch, the story flips: 1990s-2000s builder-grade primary baths with cultured-marble tops, framed mirrors, and dated garden tubs that homeowners now want converted to curbless walk-in showers. UHS Remodeling has remodeled homes across DFW since 2014, so whether your McKinney bathroom is a century old or twenty, we scope it to the house in front of us — fixed price, with a 1-year workmanship warranty.
From our Plano bathroom remodel case study — curbless spa bath on a slab foundation.
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.
Your design lead, May N., helps you choose the tile, fixtures, and layout that fit your bathroom.
Most of a McKinney 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 McKinney bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Ranges are for a typical 60–150 sq ft McKinney 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 McKinney generally run $8,000 to $60,000. A guest or hall bath update sits at the lower end, while a full primary-bath rebuild with a custom walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and double vanity reaches the upper end. In 1890s-era Historic Downtown homes, replacing aging cast-iron or galvanized plumbing behind plaster walls can add cost the finished bath never reveals, so we quote each McKinney home at a fixed price after seeing what’s behind the walls.
Yes, if the work moves walls or alters plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems — which most bathroom remodels do. Permits and inspections go through the City of McKinney Building Inspections department under Development Services. UHS handles the permitting for you, and in master-planned communities such as Stonebridge Ranch or Craig Ranch we also coordinate with HOA architectural review when it applies.
Yes. McKinney’s Historic Downtown is the second-largest historic district in Texas, and its 1890s-1900s Victorian and Craftsman homes need a careful hand — we open tight original footprints, replace old cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines, and re-finish plaster while preserving period details like porches and trim. Every UHS bathroom remodel is backed by our fixed-price model and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
A bathroom remodel in McKinney 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 McKinney runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.
Bathroom remodeling costs in McKinney range from $5,000 for a cosmetic refresh to $75,000+ for a luxury primary suite. Cosmetic updates run $5,000-$12,000. Mid-range remodels average $15,000-$28,000. High-end remodels cost $28,000-$50,000. Full luxury spa suites start at $50,000.
A McKinney bathroom remodel typically takes 4-8 weeks. Cosmetic refreshes may take 2-3 weeks. Mid-range remodels average 4-6 weeks. Full primary suite renovations with layout changes can run 8-12 weeks.
Yes, $15,000 is a solid budget for a quality bathroom remodel in McKinney. You can expect new tile, an upgraded vanity with quartz top, modern fixtures, updated flooring, and new lighting. Keep the existing plumbing layout to maximize this budget.
The City of McKinney requires permits for plumbing modifications, electrical changes, or structural alterations. Cosmetic updates like replacing a vanity, re-tiling, or swapping fixtures typically do not require permits. UHS Remodeling handles all permit applications and inspections.
Tile and stone work is typically the most expensive component at 25-35% of the budget. A full shower tile installation can cost $4,000-$12,000 depending on material. Labor (25-35%), vanity and countertop (15-25%), and fixtures (10-15%) follow.
Spa-inspired designs lead in McKinney. Top trends: curbless walk-in showers with frameless glass, freestanding soaking tubs, floating dual vanities with statement mirrors, and warm metallic finishes in brushed gold and champagne bronze. Large-format porcelain and heated floors are most-requested upgrades.
Yes. Most McKinney clients live at home during bathroom renovation. You will need access to a secondary bathroom during the 4-8 week project. We set up dust barriers and maintain clean work zones throughout the build.
Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most popular projects in McKinney, especially for primary bathrooms with unused garden tubs. Removing the tub creates a larger walk-in shower with room for a bench and multiple showerheads. Keep at least one tub in the home for resale value.
A mid-range bathroom renovation can recoup 60-70% of its cost at resale. A well-executed primary suite renovation often recoups more by eliminating a common buyer objection. In McKinney’s competitive market, an updated bathroom helps homes sell faster and at higher prices.

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.
