A fixed-price bathroom project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Murphy 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 Murphy 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.
A bathroom remodel in Murphy typically runs $8,000 to $60,000, with most projects landing in the middle once you account for tile, plumbing fixtures, vanities, and lighting. A straightforward hall-bath update sits near the low end, while a full primary-suite renovation — common in Murphy’s large early-2000s homes — reaches the upper range. Permits for the plumbing, electrical, and any structural work come through the City of Murphy Building Inspection Division (Permits & Inspections) at City Hall, not Collin County, since Murphy is incorporated. A Murphy-specific cost driver: most subdivisions here carry mandatory HOAs, and the dominant remodel is converting the dated 2000s-era “garden tub plus framed shower” primary bath into a single large curbless or tiled walk-in shower — that means moving drains and waterproofing, which adds plumbing and labor cost versus a simple cosmetic refresh. UHS prices every Murphy bath as a fixed quote up front. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We remodel bathrooms across Murphy — in Maxwell Creek and Maxwell Creek North, Rolling Ridge Estates, and Murphy Farms — serving homes near Murphy Central Park and along the FM 544 corridor between Murphy and Wylie.
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 Murphy 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 Murphy.
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 Murphy 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.”
Murphy’s housing stock is unusually young for Collin County: roughly three-quarters to four-fifths of homes here went up after 2000, during the boom that followed the President George Bush Turnpike’s 2000 opening. That means the original builder-grade primary and hall bathrooms in Maxwell Creek, Rolling Ridge Estates, and Murphy Farms are now 15 to 25 years old and hitting their first major remodel window. UHS Remodeling specializes in updating those early-2000s bathrooms: the garden-tub-plus-separate-shower primary suites that buyers no longer want, builder vanities, dated tile, and cramped hall baths in Murphy’s large four-, five-, and six-bedroom brick homes. We bring fixed-price quotes and a 1-year workmanship warranty to every Murphy bathroom project, from a single guest bath to a full primary-suite reconfiguration.
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 Murphy 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 Murphy bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Ranges are for a typical 60–150 sq ft Murphy 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.

Most bathroom remodels in Murphy run $8,000 to $60,000. A cosmetic hall-bath refresh sits near the low end, while a full primary-suite renovation in one of Murphy’s large early-2000s homes reaches the upper range, especially when you convert a garden-tub-plus-shower layout into a single large walk-in shower. UHS Remodeling provides a fixed-price quote up front so the Murphy number you approve is the number you pay.
Yes. Because Murphy is an incorporated Collin County city, bathroom permits are pulled from the City of Murphy Building Inspection Division (Permits & Inspections) at City Hall, not from Collin County. Any project that moves plumbing, alters electrical, or changes framing requires a permit and inspections, and many Murphy subdivisions also have mandatory HOAs whose approval may be needed. UHS handles the permitting and inspection coordination as part of the job.
Updating the original builder bathrooms in Murphy’s 2000s-era homes. Because roughly 75 to 81 percent of Murphy houses were built after 2000 — in communities like Maxwell Creek, Rolling Ridge Estates, and Murphy Farms — the typical request is replacing a dated primary bath’s separate garden tub and framed shower with one large curbless or tiled walk-in shower, plus new vanities, tile, and lighting in these big four- and five-bedroom homes.
A bathroom remodel in Murphy 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 Murphy runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.
Guest baths run 3 to 4 weeks. Primary baths with custom showers and tub installs run 5 to 6 weeks. Demolition is 2 days, rough plumbing + framing 1 week, tile + waterproofing 1-2 weeks, vanity + fixture install 1 week.
Not if it’s a single bath. We seal the work area with dust barriers and you keep using your other bathrooms.
Yes. Toilet, shower drain, and vanity supply lines can all be relocated. Slab cuts add 2-3 days to the build.
Yes. Walk-in showers without curbs require slab modification and proper waterproofing membranes. Wet-room conversions are increasingly popular for primary baths.
Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing membrane on all wet walls and floors. Pre-formed shower pans for traditional curbs.
We pull plumbing and electrical permits. Homeowner-pulled permits create insurance + warranty gaps.
All workmanship: tile, grout, waterproofing, vanity installation, fixture connections, electrical.
We can source manufacturer-matched tile if the line is still in production.
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.
