Bathroom remodeling in DFW
A DFW bathroom remodel costs between $8,000 and $75,000+, depending on whether you keep the existing layout or relocate plumbing. TrueForm Remodeling quotes three fixed-price tiers in writing before any demo starts: a Refresh tier at $8K–$16K (fixtures, vanity refinish, surface tile, paint, same layout), a Reconfigure tier at $28K–$45K (full tile, new vanity, new shower or tub-to-shower conversion on the existing footprint), and a Spa Master tier at $45K–$75K+ (gut, plumbing relocation, curbless shower, freestanding tub, premium finishes). Every bath ships with a 3-year workmanship warranty, Schluter or Wedi shower waterproofing registered in your name, and a single project manager from walkthrough to handoff across Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Southlake, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Arlington, Carrollton, and Fort Worth.
Fixed-price tiers
Pricing reflects 2026 DFW market ranges for a typical 40–100 sq ft bathroom. Final price is set in writing after the on-site walkthrough.
| Tier | Price range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Good — Refresh | $8K–$16K | Fixtures · vanity refinish · tile surfaces · paint |
| Better — Reconfigure | $28K–$45K | Full tile · new vanity · new shower · same layout |
| Best — Spa / master | $45K–$75K+ | Gut · plumbing moves · spa features · premium finishes |
What's included at each tier
Good — Refresh ($8K–$16K)
Keep the layout, plumbing rough-ins, and vanity box. We swap the toilet, faucet, shower trim, and lighting fixtures. The vanity gets refinished or re-fronted with new doors and hardware. Surface-tile the existing shower walls or install a quality acrylic surround. New mirror, fresh paint, and new ventilation fan. Floors stay unless they're failing.
Better — Reconfigure ($28K–$45K)
Full tile to ceiling in the shower, new floor tile, new vanity (in-stock premium or made-to-order through Wellborn / Decora), new toilet, new quartz vanity top, frameless glass shower enclosure. Tub-to-shower conversions land here. Schluter or Wedi waterproofing throughout. New recessed cans, a sconce pair, and an integrated fan-light. Same plumbing footprint — no drain moves.
Best — Spa / master ($45K–$75K+)
Gut to studs. Plumbing relocations: shower drain moves, vanity rough-in shifts, new tub location. Curbless walk-in shower with linear drain. Freestanding tub (Kohler, Wetstyle, or Victoria + Albert). Heated tile floor, body sprays or rain head, steam-shower option. Custom vanity in walnut or rift white oak with quartzite or marble top. Designer-led lighting plan with layered ambient, task, and accent. Slab cuts and permit pulled in Dallas, Plano, or Frisco as required.

DFW-specific considerations
Most DFW homes are slab-on-grade, which means any plumbing relocation — shower drain, toilet flange, vanity rough-in — requires cutting and patching the slab. We scope that work explicitly at the walkthrough so it isn't a surprise change order. Dallas, Plano, and Frisco all require a plumbing permit for relocations and a separate electrical permit if a new circuit is added for a heated floor, steam unit, or upgraded vanity lighting. Permit timing adds 5–10 business days, which we sequence ahead of demo. Older homes in East Dallas, Highland Park, and University Park frequently have cast-iron drain stacks at end-of-life; if we find one during demo we'll re-quote the stack replacement in writing before continuing.
Frequently asked
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in DFW?
A DFW bath runs $8K–$16K for a refresh (fixtures, vanity refinish, surface tile, paint), $28K–$45K for a full reconfigure on the same layout (new tile, vanity, shower), and $45K–$75K+ for a gut with plumbing moves and spa features. We quote a fixed-price tier in writing before demo.
How long does a DFW bathroom remodel take?
A refresh is 1–2 weeks. A full tile + vanity + shower reconfigure on the same layout is 4–6 weeks. A gut-and-replumb spa bath with plumbing relocation runs 6–10 weeks. We order tile, glass, and vanity before demo so the bath isn't sitting open waiting on backorders.
Can you do a tub-to-shower conversion?
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are common in DFW master baths — we remove the tub, reframe the curb, waterproof with a Schluter or Wedi system, set tile to ceiling, and install frameless glass. Conversions typically land in the Better tier range. Allow 3–4 weeks once glass is templated.
Do you handle plumbing relocation and permits?
Yes. Moving a shower drain, toilet flange, or vanity rough-in usually requires a slab cut on DFW slab-on-grade homes and a plumbing permit in Dallas, Plano, or Frisco. We pull and close the permit and itemize the slab work in the written scope.
What waterproofing system do you use in showers?
Schluter Kerdi or Wedi sheet membrane on every wet shower. Both are tested systems with manufacturer warranties. We don't rely on liquid waterproofing alone for showers — the failure rate over 10+ years is too high. Steam showers get an additional vapor barrier on the warm side.
Can you build a curbless walk-in shower?
Yes. Curbless showers require lowering the subfloor or building up the surrounding floor, plus a linear drain and proper slope. On slab-on-grade homes the easier path is a low-profile aluminum curb. We scope which approach fits your bath at the walkthrough.
What's the warranty on a TrueForm bathroom?
Three-year workmanship warranty on every bathroom. Manufacturer warranties on tile, fixtures, glass, and vanity pass through. Shower waterproofing carries the Schluter or Wedi system warranty, which we register in your name at handoff.
Why TrueForm for a DFW bathroom
Bathrooms fail at the waterproofing, not the tile. That's why we install Schluter or Wedi sheet membrane on every wet shower and register the system warranty in your name at handoff. We don't rely on liquid waterproofing alone for showers — long-term failure rates are too high to put your name on a 3-year workmanship warranty otherwise. Same project manager from walkthrough to punch list. Materials — tile, glass templates, vanity, fixtures — are ordered before demo so the bath isn't open longer than the schedule allows. If demo uncovers a failing cast-iron drain stack or a hidden leak, we re-quote in writing before continuing that line of work, not after. Manufacturer warranties on tile, fixtures, glass, and vanity pass through to you and are registered in your name.
