Waiting is what makes it expensive
Moisture keeps moving into the subfloor while the bathroom still looks fine. Send four details, we call today.
Chosen by 100+ homeowners across Seattle, from Ballard to West Seattle.
They quoted 4 weeks and finished in 4 weeks. The old tub was rotted underneath and they showed me the subfloor before touching it, then held the original price. Bathroom looks like it belongs in the house now.

Bath Remodeling Seattle is a licensed, bonded and insured remodeling contractor serving Seattle and the near Eastside. For over a decade we have remodeled bathrooms in Ballard’s craftsman homes, West Seattle’s mid-century ramblers and Capitol Hill’s condos: full gut remodels, tub-to-shower conversions and hall bath refreshes.
You get one in-house crew from demolition to final walkthrough, a written fixed price before any demo, and permits and inspections handled for you.
Yes. A mid-range bathroom remodel in Seattle typically recoups 60 to 75 percent of its cost at resale, and it fixes the problems older bathrooms hide: worn waterproofing, failing grout and moisture working into the subfloor. In a climate this damp, a bathroom can look fine while deteriorating underneath.
Most owners remodel when the layout stops working or repairs start repeating. If you are patching the same grout line twice a year, remodeling is usually cheaper than another decade of fixes.
Most full bathroom remodels in Seattle cost $18,000 to $45,000. A cosmetic refresh that keeps the layout runs $8,000 to $15,000, a tub-to-shower conversion $9,000 to $18,000, a small hall bath $10,000 to $22,000, and a custom primary suite $45,000 to $75,000 or more.
The biggest cost movers are layout changes (relocating a drain adds $2,000 to $6,000), tile scope and custom glass. You get a written fixed price at the in-home measure, and it does not change unless you change the scope.
Bathrooms are the core of what we do, alongside kitchen and whole-home remodeling across Seattle. Every project gets the same structure: one crew, a fixed written quote and a schedule you can hold us to.
From layout-stays-put refreshes to full gut renovations, our kitchen remodeling in Seattle covers cabinets, counters, tile and lighting with the same fixed-price model as our bathrooms.
Basements, laundry rooms, aging-in-place updates and multi-room projects. One contract and one crew instead of juggling separate trades for each room.
Licensed, bonded and insured Washington contractors. In-house plumbing and tile, no rotating subcontractors, and every job inspected before we call it done.
Seattle bathrooms fail from moisture, not age. We have spent over ten years opening up craftsman bathrooms in Ballard and Wallingford, mid-century ramblers in West Seattle and view condos on Capitol Hill, and the pattern repeats: original waterproofing built to a 1950s standard, quietly failing behind decent-looking tile.
Every remodel we do is built for this climate, with full membranes behind the tile, shower pans tested before a single tile goes down, and ventilation that actually moves damp air outside.
From first call to final walkthrough, the process is built so you know the price, the schedule and who is in your house at every step.
STEP 1
Call or send the form with what is not working: dated finishes, a tub nobody uses, a layout that fights you. We talk through scope and give you an honest read on budget range in that first conversation.
STEP 2
We measure, check for moisture and subfloor issues, and walk material selections with you. You get a written fixed price and a week-by-week schedule. The quote is the price you pay unless you change the scope.
STEP 3
One in-house crew handles demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tile and glass. Floors and hallways stay protected, the site is cleaned daily, and you sign off at a final walkthrough before we call the job finished.
No pressure and no gimmicks: an honest fixed quote from a local Seattle crew that knows what is behind your tile.
Most quotes are booked within two days of the first call.
Remodeling is a trust purchase. Here is what we put in writing on every Seattle project.
Your fixed price is in writing before demolition starts. It changes only if you change the scope, and any hidden damage we find is priced and approved by you before we touch it.
The same people run your job from demo to walkthrough. No rotating subcontractors, no strangers with a key, and one person who answers your calls.
Full membrane behind every tiled surface and a flood-tested shower pan before tile goes down. In this climate, what is behind the tile matters more than the tile.
We pull Seattle permits, schedule plumbing and electrical inspections, and pass them. You never chase paperwork, and nothing surfaces when you sell.
Most full remodels run 3 to 5 weeks with one bathroom offline. You get a week-by-week plan up front and a call the same day if anything shifts.
Tile, glass, vanities and fixtures walked through with someone who installs them daily. We show you where to save and where the money shows.
Real projects across the city: different homes, different budgets, same crew.
Costs, permits, timelines and what happens to your house while we work: the answers we give most often.
Yes, if the layout stays put. Keeping the tub, toilet and vanity where they are and refreshing the surfaces with new tile, vanity, fixtures, paint and glass typically lands between $8,000 and $15,000 in Seattle.
What pushes a project past that line is moving plumbing, enlarging the shower, or rot discovered once the old tub comes out. We tell you which side of the line your bathroom is on at the in-home measure, before anything is demolished.
A full bathroom remodel takes 3 to 5 weeks once materials are on site. A tub-to-shower conversion usually runs 1 to 2 weeks, and a cosmetic refresh about a week.
The common additions are custom shower glass, which is measured after tiling and takes 2 to 3 weeks to arrive, and permit inspections, which we schedule in advance so the crew is never waiting on the city.
Swapping fixtures like for like usually needs no permit. Moving plumbing, changing wiring or altering walls requires permits from the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, plus plumbing and electrical inspections.
We pull the permits and meet the inspectors on every job that needs them. Unpermitted bathroom work is a common reason Seattle home sales stall, so it is not a corner worth cutting.
Yes, when the home keeps at least one tub. A walk-in shower is the most requested change in the bathrooms we remodel, and in a primary bath it almost always shows well at resale.
If it is the only tub in the house, we usually advise keeping a tub somewhere, since families with small children still look for one. We will tell you honestly which case your home is in.
Yes, and it is the fastest way to keep a small bathroom on budget. Keeping the wet walls where they are and using a curbless shower, a wall-hung vanity and a pocket door can make a 5 by 8 bathroom feel dramatically larger with no drain relocation.
Moving a drain adds $2,000 to $6,000, so we only recommend it when the layout genuinely cannot work otherwise.
Yes, nearly all of our clients do. One bathroom is offline while the rest of the house stays livable: dust barriers go up on day one, floors and hallways are protected, tools are packed down and the site is cleaned every evening. Crews work set daytime hours.
If it is your only bathroom, we plan the plumbing swap so you are never without a working toilet overnight.
Three things, all verifiable: a full waterproofing membrane behind every tiled surface, a shower pan that is flood-tested before tile is installed, and a ventilation fan sized for the room and ducted outside rather than into the attic.
Seattle bathrooms fail from trapped moisture more than anything else. That is why our waterproofing is inspected before it is covered, and why we photograph it for your records.
A mid-range bathroom remodel in Seattle typically recoups 60 to 75 percent of its cost at sale, and the indirect effect is often larger: bathrooms and kitchens are where buyers decide, and a dated or damp bathroom invites low offers and inspection drama.
A remodel done with permits, documented waterproofing and clean finish work removes that negotiating lever entirely.
Send four details through the form and a project manager calls you back today. The in-home measure gets you a written fixed price for your Seattle bathroom, and the quote is the price you pay.
