A fixed-price bathroom project from a Plano-based crew of 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 Plano 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. Permits for this work go through the City of Plano Building Inspections Department, where residential bathroom remodels fall under the “Residential Additions & Alterations” category. A major Plano-specific cost driver for baths is the age of the housing stock: with so many homes built in the 1980s-90s, 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. Older West Plano enclaves like West Plano Estates (median build around 1985) tend to need the most behind-the-wall plumbing work, which we identify up front so the fixed price holds. 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 Plano bathrooms were built into homes from the 1980s and 1990s, when the city went through its big suburban build-out and the median construction year landed around 1993. That means a huge share of primary and hall baths across West Plano enclaves like Willow Bend, Deerfield, and Hunters Glen, plus mature central neighborhoods such as Russell Creek, still carry their original garden tubs, cultured-marble vanities, and small mud-set showers from three to four decades ago. UHS Remodeling rebuilds these dated baths into open, walk-in-shower layouts that fit how families actually live in Plano’s two-story brick New Traditional and ranch-style homes. As a fixed-price remodeler with 5,875+ DFW projects completed since 2014, 500+ five-star reviews, and a 3-year workmanship warranty, we handle the waterproofing, tile, and plumbing realities specific to these aging Plano floor plans.
We remodel bathrooms across Plano, including Willow Bend, Legacy West, Deerfield, Hunters Glen, Russell Creek, Los Rios, Kings Ridge, and West Plano Estates.
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 Plano 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, with material samples brought to your home. Drain + niche placement specified.
Plumbing + electrical permits, HOA submission if exterior wall changes.
Demo, rough plumbing, framing, tile, vanity install. Daily site lead on premises.
Punch list, water-test all fixtures, 3-year warranty on workmanship active.
Tile: a mitered stone shelf set into the niche, one plane from floor to wall.
Vanity: floating oak, honed marble, unlacquered brass pulls.
Design and selections run four to six weeks before that, and cabinetry is ordered the day selections close.
“What makes a Plano 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.”
Most Plano primary baths we remodel sit in homes built between the late 1990s and 2010 — Preston Meadow, Kings Ridge, the Legacy West corridor — where the original layout gives you a garden tub no one uses, a cramped separate shower, and a long builder-grade vanity. The highest-impact Plano remodel reclaims that wasted garden-tub footprint for an oversized walk-in shower, keeps or upgrades a freestanding tub only if the household wants one, and rebuilds storage around how the room is really used. Because we’ve done hundreds of these in Collin County, we know which walls are load-bearing, where the plumbing chases run, and what the City of Plano inspector will flag — so the design we hand your build team is the one that actually gets built.

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.

Most of a Plano 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 Plano bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Ranges are for a typical 60–150 sq ft Plano 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.

Wet-room layout, slab feature wall, integrated steam, smart-glass shower door, fully custom vanity, statement lighting.
Most of Plano’s housing stock went up between 1985 and 2002, which means we already know what is behind the wall before we open it — the soffit framing, the bulkhead, the way the HVAC trunk runs over the galley. That is why our schedules hold.
Mid-90s to early-2000s builds. Open-the-wall kitchens, primary bath redesigns, foundation prep on slabs.
Newer Toll Brothers + Highland builds. Refining, not gutting: stone swaps, closet systems, lighting overhauls.
Stucco-and-stone McKinney-adjacent homes. Outdoor kitchens + butler-bar additions are most-requested.
Wooded lots, mature homes. Foundation leveling and tree-root setback planning is part of every project.
Estate footprints, 4,500+ sqft homes. Whole-home renovations, second-story additions, HOA-coordinated.

Yes. Bathroom remodels that move plumbing, alter electrical, or change the layout are permitted through the City of Plano Building Inspections Department under the “Residential Additions & Alterations” category. UHS Remodeling pulls and coordinates the permits and inspections for the plumbing and electrical work as part of your project, so you do not have to manage the city process yourself.
A typical Plano bathroom remodel runs a few weeks, but homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, common across West Plano neighborhoods like Willow Bend and Deerfield, can add time when original mud-set showers and dated drain lines need to be replaced to meet current code. We build that likelihood into the schedule and the fixed price up front so older homes do not produce mid-project surprises.
Avoid relocating plumbing unless you truly need to (each fixture moved on a slab foundation adds about $1,500 to $4,000), skimping on waterproofing behind the tile, and choosing trendy finishes over durable ones. The most common mistake is starting demolition before the design and every selection is finalized. Lock those first and your budget and timeline hold.
Usually the tile labor and any plumbing relocation, then the shower system – glass, valve, and waterproofing – and the vanity. A full bathroom remodel in Plano 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, punch list final.
Not if it’s a single bath. We seal the work area with dust barriers and you keep using your other bathrooms. For two-bath remodels at the same time, most clients relocate for 2-4 weeks of the build.
Yes. Toilet, shower drain, and vanity supply lines can all be relocated. Slab cuts add 2-3 days to the build and require new tile underneath. Cost adds $1,500-$4,000 per relocation.
Yes. Walk-in showers without curbs require slab modification and proper waterproofing membranes. Wet-room conversions (where the entire room is tiled and drainable) are increasingly popular for primary baths.
Schluter-Kerdi waterproofing membrane on all wet walls and floors. Pre-formed shower pans for traditional curbs, full mortar bed for wet rooms. Lifetime substrate, 3-year warranty on installation.
We pull plumbing and electrical permits. Homeowner-pulled permits create insurance + warranty gaps; we don’t work that way.
All workmanship: tile, grout, waterproofing, vanity installation, fixture connections, electrical. Manufacturer warranties on faucets, toilets, vanities pass through directly.
We can source manufacturer-matched tile if the line is still in production. For discontinued lines we either find equivalent or design around the existing if it’s in good condition.
With UHS Remodeling, a Plano bathroom remodel runs $8,000 to $60,000 as a fixed price. A simpler hall-bath update lands toward the lower end, while a full primary-bath renovation with a curbless walk-in shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, and moved plumbing reaches the top of that range. The biggest swing factor in Plano’s 1980s-90s homes is what we find behind the walls, like aged drain lines or subfloor moisture, which is why we quote a fixed price after assessing your specific home.
For most Plano homeowners, yes — a frameless walk-in shower is the single most-requested primary-bath upgrade and improves daily use. We recommend keeping at least one tub somewhere in the home for resale appeal to families with young children.
Yes. A focused guest-bath refresh — new vanity, tile, fixtures, and lighting in the existing footprint — typically starts around $22,000 and finishes in 3 to 4 weeks. Keeping the plumbing where it is keeps the cost down without cutting waterproofing.
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.
