A fixed-price bathroom project from our Plano-based DFW team serving University Park 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 University Park 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.
Luxury bathroom remodels in University Park typically start around $75,000 and climb well beyond it for a full primary-suite bath with custom stone, a curbless walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and built-in cabinetry. Permits for the plumbing, electrical, and any layout changes are issued by the City of University Park Community Development Department, which also handles inspections and registers the licensed trades on your job. The biggest cost driver here is the housing itself: in homes that often predate 1950, opening a wall behind a vintage bath frequently exposes original cast-iron drain lines, outdated supply plumbing, and undersized circuits that must be brought up to code. Moving a toilet stack or relocating a shower in these older Park Cities footprints means real re-plumbing, not just a fixture swap, and high-end finishes like slab marble, heated floors, and frameless glass push the investment higher. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We remodel bathrooms throughout University Park, including Volk Estates, Caruth Hills, and SMU Heights, plus the older homes near the SMU campus and Snider Plaza.
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 University Park 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 University Park.
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 an University Park 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 University Park rarely come “builder-grade.” In a fully built-out Park Cities enclave that grew up around SMU in the 1910s and 1920s, a large share of homes predate 1950, and the original primary and hall baths in those Colonial, Tudor, and Mediterranean houses were never designed for today’s spa expectations. UHS Remodeling renovates these bathrooms the way the neighborhood demands: re-figuring tight early-20th-century footprints into walk-in wet rooms, freestanding tubs, and double vanities while protecting plaster walls, original tile thresholds, and the period character that makes a Volk Estates or Caruth Hills home worth keeping. We also remodel baths in the 1950s Texas-modernist homes near SMU and in the teardown-rebuilds throughout University Park. Fixed-price quotes, a 1-year workmanship warranty, and DFW experience since 2014 stand behind every job.
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.

Most of an University Park 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 University Park bathroom includes a full waterproofing membrane and a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Ranges are for a typical 60–150 sq ft University Park 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.

In University Park’s luxury Park Cities market, a full bathroom remodel typically starts around $75,000 and rises from there for a primary-suite bath with slab stone, a curbless walk-in shower, freestanding tub, frameless glass, and custom vanities. Because many homes predate 1950, re-plumbing and electrical upgrades behind the walls are common cost drivers. UHS Remodeling provides a fixed-price quote up front so the number does not move mid-project.
Yes. Any bathroom remodel that alters plumbing, electrical, or the room’s layout requires permits from the City of University Park Community Development Department, which also inspects the work and registers the licensed trades. UHS Remodeling pulls the permits and coordinates inspections so your renovation stays code-compliant from rough-in through final.
Yes, and it is most of what we do here. In the early-20th-century Colonial, Tudor, and Mediterranean homes common in University Park, we modernize the plumbing, waterproofing, and fixtures while preserving the proportions and period details that fit the house, so the new bath feels original to a Volk Estates or Caruth Hills home rather than bolted on.
A bathroom remodel in University Park 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 University Park runs $8,000 to $60,000 depending on those choices.

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.
