We handle all City of Austin permit applications for plumbing and electrical modifications, order long-lead materials, and coordinate our plumbing, electrical, and tile subcontractors so your project starts on schedule.

What Goes Into a Bathroom Remodeling?

Cosmetic Update
Surface Refresh
New tile, vanity, fixtures, mirrors, and lighting — same layout, no plumbing or structural changes.
Luxury Primary
Spa-Grade Finish
Spa master bath with freestanding tub, steam shower, heated floors, custom tile work, and floating vanity.

Key factors that shape your investment:

  • Custom curbless walk-in shower size and tile selection are among the most impactful scope variables
  • Freestanding soaking tub installation requires dedicated supply lines and floor structural review
  • Radiant heated floor systems add comfort and complexity to the electrical scope
  • Custom floating vanity and millwork vs. stock vanity options vary significantly in scope and lead time
  • Plumbing drain line relocation (moving fixtures to a new location) adds permitting and structural scope

* Project investment is specific to your bathroom size, layout changes, and material selections. Contact us for a free, scope-specific proposal.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs

A typical bathroom remodel takes 3 to 5 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough. The timeline depends on the scope of work — a cosmetic refresh with new tile, fixtures, and vanity is on the shorter end, while projects involving plumbing relocations, structural changes, or custom waterproofing systems for curbless showers may take 6 to 8 weeks. TrueBuilt provides a detailed project schedule during the design phase so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.
Yes. The City of Austin Development Services Department requires permits for any bathroom remodel that involves plumbing modifications, electrical work, or structural changes. Even moving a toilet, adding a new shower valve, or upgrading your electrical panel for heated floors requires a permit. Cosmetic-only updates like painting or replacing hardware typically do not. TrueBuilt manages all permit applications, plan review responses, and inspection scheduling as part of our design-build service — you never have to visit a permit office.
A curbless shower (also called a zero-threshold or barrier-free shower) eliminates the raised lip at the shower entry, creating a seamless transition from bathroom floor into the shower area. The floor is precisely sloped toward a linear drain to contain water. Curbless showers are ideal for aging-in-place accessibility, modern design aesthetics, and making smaller bathrooms feel larger and more open. They do require expert waterproofing (we use Schluter and Kerdi membrane systems) and precise mud-bed sloping. TrueBuilt has extensive experience building curbless showers in Austin homes of all ages and floor types.
Bathroom remodel investment varies based on scope, material selections, and the extent of plumbing or layout changes. A mid-range primary bathroom renovation — new tile, modern vanity, updated fixtures, and minor plumbing adjustments — differs significantly from a luxury spa-style renovation with custom tile work, heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, a curbless shower, and premium fixtures throughout. TrueBuilt delivers a detailed fixed-price proposal after our Feasibility-First assessment so there are no surprise costs during construction.
Absolutely. Modern aging-in-place design has evolved far beyond the institutional look of traditional accessible bathrooms. TrueBuilt integrates ADA-compliant features that are both functional and visually stunning: grab bars designed to look like sleek towel bars or shelf hardware, comfort-height toilets in contemporary styles, zero-threshold showers with frameless glass and designer tile, wider doorways framed to match your home's architecture, and non-slip porcelain tile that mimics the look of natural stone, marble, or hardwood. The result is a bathroom that is fully accessible, age-friendly, and indistinguishable from a high-end spa design.
