The short answer

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Richardson?

Bathroom remodels in Richardson typically run $8,000 to $60,000 with UHS Remodeling, depending on whether it is a guest-bath refresh or a full primary-suite bath rebuilt down to the studs. Permits go through the City of Richardson Building Inspection Department, which issues an Interior Remodel permit whenever a project moves a wall or modifies plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems and requires before-and-after floor plans; the city’s Express Permitting program targets a 3-business-day plan review for smaller projects. The biggest Richardson-specific cost driver is the age of the housing stock: in 1950s-60s ranch homes, original cast-iron or galvanized supply and drain lines, slab penetrations, and dated venting frequently have to be replaced once a shower or tub is opened up. Relocating a toilet or shower drain in a slab-on-grade ranch means concrete cutting, which adds to scope, so we price that plumbing reality into the fixed quote up front rather than discovering it mid-demo. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.

01 · Process

How we build a bathroom remodel in Richardson.

Bathrooms in Richardson tell a consistent story: this is a post-WWII first-ring Dallas suburb that boomed in the 1950s and 1960s after Collins Radio and Texas Instruments arrived, so its mid-century ranch homes in Richardson Heights, Buckingham, Canyon Creek, and Greenwood Hills are now 50 to 70-plus years old. The hall and primary baths in those single-story brick ranches were built small and compartmentalized, often with original cast-iron tubs, galvanized or cast-iron drain lines, and tight 5×8 footprints that today’s homeowners want opened up. UHS Remodeling has completed 5,875-plus projects across DFW since 2014, and in Richardson that almost always means reworking aging plumbing behind the walls, not just swapping a vanity. We remodel these baths with a fixed-price contract and a 3-year workmanship warranty, so a 1960s J.J. Pearce-area bathroom can become a curbless walk-in shower without surprise change orders.

We remodel bathrooms across Richardson’s established neighborhoods, including Richardson Heights, Canyon Creek, Buckingham, Heights Park, Greenwood Hills, J.J. Pearce, SpringPark, and Cottonwood Creek.

From the field · Richardson
What makes a Richardson 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.

Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Richardson?
+
Yes, in most cases. The City of Richardson Building Inspection Department requires an Interior Remodel permit whenever a project modifies plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems or moves a wall, and it asks for before-and-after floor plans. Since a bath remodel almost always touches plumbing and electrical, a permit applies. Richardson’s Express Permitting program targets a 3-business-day plan review for smaller projects, and UHS handles the permitting and inspections for you.
Why do older Richardson bathrooms cost more to remodel?
+
Richardson’s housing stock is dominated by 1950s-60s mid-century ranch homes, so many bathrooms still have original cast-iron tubs, galvanized or cast-iron drain lines, and slab-on-grade plumbing. Once a shower or tub is opened up, those aging lines often need replacing, and relocating a drain in a concrete slab requires cutting and re-pouring. We account for these realities in the fixed quote so the older-home factor does not turn into a surprise mid-project change order.
What should you avoid when remodeling a bathroom?
+
A bathroom remodel in Richardson 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 Richardson runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Richardson, TX?
+
With UHS Remodeling, bathroom remodels in Richardson generally range from $8,000 to $60,000. A guest- or hall-bath update sits at the lower end, while a full primary-bath rebuild with a curbless walk-in shower, relocated fixtures, and new tile lands higher. Because so many Richardson ranch homes have original cast-iron or galvanized plumbing, replacing aging supply and drain lines is a common factor in the final number, and we lock the price in a fixed-price contract before work begins.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Richardson?
+
A Richardson bathroom remodel typically takes 4-8 weeks from demolition to completion. Cosmetic refreshes may take 1-2 weeks. Mid-range remodels average 4-6 weeks. Full luxury renovations can run 6-10 weeks.
Should I replace my bathtub with a walk-in shower?
+
For most Richardson homeowners, converting an underused tub to a walk-in shower is a high-impact renovation. Keep at least one tub in the home for resale value. Converting the master bath tub to a spacious walk-in shower is the most common configuration we install.
Do I need a permit for bathroom remodeling in Richardson?
+
The City of Richardson requires permits for plumbing modifications, electrical changes, or structural alterations. Cosmetic updates like replacing a vanity or installing new tile typically do not require permits. UHS Remodeling handles all permit applications and inspections.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel?
+
Tile and stone work is typically the largest expense at 25-35% of the total budget. After tile, labor (25-35%), vanity and countertop (15-20%), and fixtures (10-15%) are the next largest categories. Moving drain lines in slab-on-grade homes can add $2,000-$6,000.
Can I move plumbing in my Richardson bathroom?
+
Yes, but it adds cost. Most Richardson homes are slab-on-grade, so moving drain lines requires cutting into the slab, modifying the drain, and patching the concrete, typically adding $2,000-$6,000. Water supply lines are easier and less expensive to relocate.
What bathroom styles are popular in Richardson in 2026?
+
Leading trends: walk-in showers with frameless glass, large-format porcelain tile in marble-look patterns, floating vanities with LED lighting, warm tones replacing cool grays, curbless shower entries, heated floors, and brushed gold or matte black fixtures.
How important is waterproofing in a bathroom remodel?
+
Waterproofing is the most critical step in any shower renovation. Without proper membrane waterproofing, water penetrates behind tile causing mold and structural damage. UHS Remodeling uses membrane waterproofing systems on every shower we build.
Does a bathroom remodel increase home value in Richardson?
+
Yes. A mid-range bathroom renovation can recoup 60-70% of its cost at resale. In Richardson’s market, an updated master bathroom with modern tile and a walk-in shower can be the deciding factor for buyers comparing similar homes.
