Bathroom Remodel · Fort Worth

The Fort Worth bathroom remodel everyone waits on

Not your bathroom. The other one — down the hall, behind the closed door, running a queue every school morning and judged by every guest you have ever had. Most contractors want the whole house before they’ll touch it. We’ll take it on its own.

Why the small room costs what it does

Same six trades. A third of the floor.

A hall bath and a primary bath need the same rough-in, the same waterproofing, the same glass, the same tile setter and the same inspections. The primary just has three times the floor to spread it over. That’s why the little room quotes like a big one — and per square foot, it is the expensive one.

Four people, one door

A door that stays shut for twenty minutes at the worst possible time. A tub with a curtain that has been there since before you owned the house. Somebody knocking, somebody else saying five more minutes. It’s the most-used room you own and the last one anybody offers to fix.

A primary bath is a room you choose to redo. This one you put off until the morning it finally costs somebody their carpool.

Three kinds of second bath

They are not the same room with different towels

Hall

Tub or tub-and-shower — one vanity — the linen closet it shares a wall with

The one off the hallway, used by the kids and by anyone who visits. It takes the most traffic in the house and gets the least attention, and it’s usually the only full bath besides yours.

Guest

Walk-in shower or tub — one vanity — a door people close behind them

The one your mother-in-law uses at Christmas. It’s the room a visitor forms an opinion in, alone, with nothing to look at but your tile.

Powder

Sink and toilet — no tub, no shower, no waterproofing

No bathing fixture means no shower pan and no glass, so it skips the two most expensive trades. It’s the one bath that lands near the bottom of the range, and the fastest room in the house to change completely.

Which one is yours?

When it is the only one you have

We phase it so the house keeps a bathroom

Plenty of Fort Worth houses have exactly one full bath, and that is the reason most of these rooms never get done. The work does not have to run in one unbroken month. We stage it so the room comes back between phases, and we tell you up front which days it is genuinely out.

Demo

Room is out

Two or three days. The room is out.

Rough-in

Room is out

Plumbing and electrical, inspected before anything closes up.

Close-up

Room comes back

Board and waterproofing. A working toilet can usually come back at the end of this stage.

Tile and glass

Room is out

The long stretch, and the one that sets the finish date.

Fixtures

Room comes back

Vanity, lights, mirror, hardware. The room is yours again as each piece lands.

“Our project finished on time and even a little bit under budget.”

Small rooms are judged up close

Nobody stands in the doorway of a hall bath and takes it in. They stand at the sink. Which is why the grout line, the sconce and the way the tile turns a corner are the whole job in a room this size.

Why we take these jobs

“They’re super fun to do.”

Jamey Ice · Co-Founder

A secondary bath is a whole room, start to finish, in weeks instead of months. Every trade we have touches it. You get a finished room and a story, and we get to do the part of this work that is pure craft.

How it runs

Three steps, and you’re in the room for the first one

6th Ave Homes · Secondary bath · Sequence

01

Meet Up

We stand in the room with you, listen to how the mornings actually go, and talk honestly about budget.

02

Team Up

Our designer and drafting team put it on paper — layout, fixtures, finishes, and a number you can plan around.

03

Glasses Up

We build it, phase it around your household, and hand the room back.

What it costs

$20,000 to $55,000

A hall, guest or kids’ bath taken down to the studs and rebuilt. One to two months, start to finish.

That range sits below a primary bath’s and still costs more per square foot — which is the same arithmetic as the drawing above, read from the other end. You’re buying six trades, not floor area.

How we price it

Cost-plus, to your scope and your selections. We walk the room, draw it, and price what is actually there — so the number you get is one you can plan around instead of one that moves after demo.

Get your range

How far the water moves

Leaving the tub, toilet and sink where the last plumber put them is one number. Moving a drain is a floor-structure job, and it is usually the difference between the two ends of this range.

Whether the tub stays a tub

Trading a tub-and-shower combo for a full walk-in means new waterproofing, new glass, and often a new drain location.

Whether it is the only full bath

When it is, the work gets phased so the room does not go dark for a month. Phasing costs more than doing it in one run, and it is usually worth it.

Finish level

The lever you control most. Stock vanity and porcelain against custom millwork, stone and frameless glass is most of the spread once the plan is settled.

Questions we get

The things people ask before they call

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Fort Worth?

A hall, guest or kids’ bath taken down to the studs and rebuilt runs $20,000 to $55,000. Where you land inside that depends mostly on whether the plumbing moves and how far, then on finishes.

Why does a small bathroom cost almost as much as a big one?

Because the room is small, not the job. A hall bath needs the same rough-in, waterproofing, glass, tile, electrical and ventilation a primary bath needs — six trades in forty-two square feet instead of a hundred and twenty-six. Per square foot the little room is the expensive one, which is the opposite of how the rest of the house prices.

It is the only full bathroom we have. Can we still do it?

Yes, and it changes the schedule rather than the scope. We phase the work so the room comes back on between stages instead of going dark for a month, and we tell you up front which days it is genuinely out of service.

Do you do powder rooms and half baths?

Yes, and they are the quickest thing we do — usually weeks rather than months, and the one bath that can land near $20,000 rather than the top of the range.

How long does a secondary bath take?

One to two months for most of them. A powder room is quicker; a room where the plumbing moves and the tile is set to a pattern is the long end.

Can you fit a shower where there is only a tub?

Usually, and it is one of the most common things we are asked for in a hall bath. Whether it is a swap or a reframe depends on what the wall behind the tub is doing, which we can tell you early because we draft it in-house.

Can you do two bathrooms at once?

Often the smart move. Two baths in one trip share the demo, the inspections and the tile order, so the schedule and the disruption are shorter than doing them a year apart.

Do you only do this as part of a bigger remodel?

No. We are a whole-home remodeler, and a single secondary bath is a job we are glad to take on its own.
