AfterHow Much Does Bathroom Remodel Cost in Dallas?
A bathroom remodel in Dallas typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full renovation of a standard 5×8 to 10×10 bathroom. Small bathrooms and surface-level refreshes land closer to $5,000 – $12,000, while larger primary baths with custom tile work, premium fixtures, and layout changes can push past $30,000. The final number depends on square footage, the condition of existing plumbing, material grades, and whether you move walls or keep the footprint intact.
Trevor Nash and the team at Penhallow Remodeling write your price down before the first tile comes off the wall. No “we’ll see how it goes.” No change-order surprises at the door. A written number, backed by a written 365-Day Done Right Promise, so the figure we quote is the figure you pay.

Bathroom Remodel Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s what a Dallas bathroom remodel actually costs, line by line. These are the numbers we see across neighborhoods like Lakewood, Preston Hollow, Richardson, and Plano, adjusted for 2026 material and labor rates.
| Scope of Work | Typical Dallas Range |
|---|---|
| Small bathroom refresh (paint, new vanity, fixtures, mirror, lighting) | $5,000 – $12,000 |
| Mid-size full remodel (new tub/shower, tile, vanity, countertop, flooring, lighting) | $9,000 – $18,000 |
| Primary bathroom remodel (custom shower, soaking tub, dual vanity, heated floors) | $15,000 – $28,000 |
| Walk-in shower installation (new construction, waterproofing, tile, glass door) | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-shower conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower replacement (existing footprint, new pan and surround) | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Bathroom vanity installation (supply and install) | $800 – $3,000 |
| Tile flooring (natural stone or porcelain, 50 – 80 sq ft) | $1,200 – $4,500 |
| Plumbing rough-in and fixture installation | $1,500 – $4,000 |
| Electrical (GFCI outlets, new lighting, exhaust fan) | $600 – $2,200 |
| Drywall, paint, and trim | $800 – $2,500 |
These numbers are based on mid-grade materials from recognized trade brands: Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria or Silestone countertops, KraftMaid cabinetry where vanities are custom-fit, and tile from proven suppliers with consistent batches. Jump to custom stone slabs or designer lighting and your number moves. Keep it basic with stock materials and you’ll hold the lower end.
One thing that surprises Dallas homeowners: the cost of bringing an older bathroom up to code. Homes built before 1990 in neighborhoods like Casa View or East Dallas often have cast-iron drain pipes, undersized exhaust venting, or tile set directly on drywall instead of a proper cement board substrate. When we open the wall and find that, the fix isn’t optional, it’s structural. That’s why our written price happens after we look, not before. We’d rather give you one honest number at the start than a cheaper number that balloons after demo day.
What Affects Bathroom Remodel Pricing in Dallas
Every bathroom is different, but in Dallas specifically, these six factors move the needle most:
- Whether you move plumbing. Keeping the toilet, sink, and shower in their current locations is the single biggest money saver. Moving a drain line across a slab foundation, which is common in Dallas homes built on concrete pads, adds $1,500 – $4,000 in plumbing alone. Slab work means cutting concrete, and that’s a scope change with real cost.
- The age and condition of your subfloor. Older Dallas homes, particularly in the M Streets and Lake Highlands, often have water damage hiding under old vinyl or tile. Once we pull the floor, if the subfloor is soft, it gets replaced. That runs $600 – $1,800 depending on the square footage and whether joists need sistering.
- Tile choice and square footage. Porcelain subway tile for a shower surround runs $2 – $6 per square foot for material. Natural stone like marble or travertine runs $10 – $25 per square foot before labor. A floor-to-ceiling tile shower in a 10×10 bathroom can mean 100+ square feet of tile, so the gap between a basic surround and a full custom tile shower can be $2,000 – $6,000 by itself.
- Fixture quality. A Kohler Archer tub and Moen Adler trim kit cost meaningfully less than a Kohler Underscore tub with a Moen Align trim. The difference isn’t just styling, it’s internal valve quality and finish durability. A full fixture package typically lands between $800 and $4,500 depending on brand grade.
- Countertop material. A cultured marble or basic quartz vanity top runs $300 – $800. Cambria or Silestone quartz with a custom edge profile runs $1,200 – $3,000 for a 60-inch double vanity. We install Cambria quartz, which carries its own lifetime warranty alongside our 365-day promise, so the layers of protection behind the number are part of the conversation.
- Ventilation and code compliance. Dallas building code requires mechanical exhaust venting rated at 50 CFM minimum for bathrooms, and many older homes vent into the attic instead of outside, which is a code violation and a mold risk. Rerouting an exhaust vent through the roof or eave adds $250 – $700. It’s not a line item you want to skip, and any permit inspection will catch it.
Average Bathroom Remodel Costs by Project Type
Not all bathroom work is a full gut. Here’s how the numbers break down by the specific job, based on what we see week to week across the Dallas metro:
Small Bathroom Remodel: $5,000 – $12,000
A small bathroom, typically a hall bath or guest bath around 5×7 or 5×8, is the most common project in Dallas homes built in the 1960s through the 1980s. At the lower end, you’re looking at a new vanity, new faucet, a new toilet, fresh paint, a standard tub surround, and builder-grade tile flooring. The upper end adds a tile shower surround, better fixtures, a solid-surface countertop, and upgraded lighting. Most small bathroom remodels in Dallas finish between $7,500 and $10,000.
Walk-In Shower Installation: $4,500 – $12,000
Removing a tub and building a dedicated walk-in shower means new shower pan construction, waterproofing, wall tile, a glass enclosure, and plumbing adjustments for the different drain configuration. In an existing footprint, it’s typically $4,500 – $8,000. Expand the footprint or go curbless with a linear drain and you’re closer to $8,000 – $12,000. Curbless showers are popular in Dallas because they make bathrooms feel larger and are easier to use for aging-in-place homeowners, but they require careful floor-slope work that adds cost.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion: $3,500 – $10,000
This is the most common project in older Dallas homes where the original cast-iron tub has worn out or the homeowner simply doesn’t use a bathtub anymore. At the basic end: a prefabricated shower pan, acrylic or fiberglass surround, new valve, and a shower door. At the upper end: a fully tiled custom shower with a built-in niche, bench, and frameless glass. Many homeowners in Carrollton and Garland choose this when the tub has rusted, chipped, or simply outlived its usefulness.
Shower Replacement: $3,000 – $8,500
If you already have a shower and just need it rebuilt, this is your number. It covers removing the old pan or base, addressing any leaks or water damage, installing a new pan, waterproofing the walls, and installing new tile or a new surround. The most common reason Dallas homeowners call us for this is a leak that’s been dripping onto the subfloor, often unnoticed for months. By the time the tile starts cracking or the grout darkens, the damage underneath is already done.
Bathroom Vanity Installation: $800 – $3,000
Relatively quick work if the plumbing is already in place. The range covers the vanity itself, the countertop, the sink, and the faucet. A basic 36-inch stock vanity with a cultured marble top runs $800 – $1,400 installed. A 60-inch double vanity with KraftMaid cabinetry and a Cambria quartz top runs $2,000 – $3,000. The big variable is whether the existing shutoff valves are in good shape or need replacing, which is common in older Dallas homes.
What Does a Dallas Bathroom Remodel Include?
When Penhallow Remodeling gives you a written price for a bathroom remodel in Dallas, here’s what’s in the number:
- Demolition and debris removal. We pull the old tub, tile, vanity, and flooring, and haul it away. The dumpster or truckload fee is in the price, not a surprise at the end.
- Structural repair. If the subfloor, studs, or sill plates are water-damaged, we tell you before we proceed and put every line item in writing before any work starts. No open-ended “we’ll see what we find” pricing.
- Cement board substrate installation. That’s the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile. Any bathroom we remodel in Dallas gets waterproofed backer board behind every wet surface, because North Texas humidity and daily showers will find every shortcut.
- Tile setting and grout. Standard 1/8-inch grout lines for porcelain, larger joints for natural stone, sealed and finished. We don’t rush cure times.
- Fixture and finish installation. Tub, shower, toilet, vanity, faucets, exhaust fan, lighting. Each installed to manufacturer spec and Dallas code.
- Painting and trim. The room looks finished when we’re done, not “almost done.”
- Final walkthrough and written guarantee. Every project gets the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right at no charge.
Before any of this starts, we also schedule the work around a defined arrival window. You know when the crew shows up, and they arrive in uniform, background-checked. That’s The Kingswell Way since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
How to Save on Your Dallas Bathroom Remodel
The biggest savings come from keeping the bathroom’s layout exactly where it is. Every time a drain line moves, you’re adding plumbing labor, possibly slab cutting, and additional inspections. In Dallas, where many homes sit on concrete slab foundations, moving a toilet or shower drain is one of the most expensive changes you can make. Keep the fixture positions and you keep thousands.
Other practical ways to control the number:
- Use mid-grade tile everywhere and premium materials only where you’ll see them. A standard porcelain field tile with a single accent row of mosaic or a tiled niche in the shower gets you 90% of the look for a fraction of the cost of floor-to-ceiling natural stone.
- Choose a standard tub or shower pan instead of a custom tile pan. A factory-made shower base in a standard size costs $300 – $600, while a custom mortar and tile pan with waterproofing runs $1,200 – $2,500.
- Replace your toilet and fixtures at the same time. One visit, one scope, one set of labor hours. Adding a toilet swap mid-project later means another service call.
- Work with what you have structurally. If the bathroom has a window, keep it. If the wall is where the wall is, leave it there. Moving or adding windows means framing, drywall, sill work, and possibly exterior siding, which is where a $9,000 bathroom becomes a $19,000 bathroom.
We don’t do upsells. We don’t pitch granite when quartz fits the budget better. The written price we give you reflects the bathroom you described and the work your home actually needs.

Why Dallas Homeowners Choose Penhallow Remodeling
Most of the homeowners we work with in Dallas have been burned before. A contractor who gave a verbal ballpark and then the price “changed” after demo. A crew that didn’t show. A tile job that cracked six weeks after the check cleared. That’s the context we operate in, and it’s why our process is built around writing things down.
Every bathroom remodel we do in Dallas includes, in writing, before the work starts:
- A written price. Not an estimate range, not a rough figure. A real number with line items. The number on day one is the number on the invoice.
- A defined arrival window. Your crew arrives when we said they would. In uniform. Background-checked. You know exactly who is walking into your home.
- The 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. If a repair we made needs another visit, there’s no service call fee and no re-inspection fee. That’s our promise, in writing, on every project.
- Materials from brands that stand behind their own work. We install Kohler and Moen fixtures that carry manufacturer warranties, Cambria quartz with its own lifetime warranty, and KraftMaid cabinetry built for daily use. The products behind our guarantee carry their own layers of protection.
Penhallow Remodeling is part of the Kingswell family of companies, and this location is independently owned and operated. We’ve been doing business the same way since the beginning: courteous, direct, and honest. No pressure, no games, no false urgency. Just a real answer to a real question.

FAQs – Bathroom Remodel Cost in Dallas
How much does a small bathroom remodel cost in Dallas?
A small bathroom remodel in Dallas runs $5,000 – $12,000. Most hall baths and guest baths, typically 5×7 or 5×8, finish around $7,500 – $10,000. The spread depends on whether you keep the existing tub or convert to a shower, the tile grade, and whether any water damage is hiding under the old floor. Call (940) 204-5368 for a written price on your specific bathroom, free.
Is it cheaper to remodel a small bathroom or a big one in Dallas?
Smaller bathrooms are cheaper in total dollars, but not always per square foot. A 5×8 hall bath remodel typically costs $5,000 – $12,000 in Dallas, while a 10×10 primary bath runs $15,000 – $28,000. The fixed costs like plumbing inspection, waterproofing, and fixture installation are similar regardless of size, so the smaller room carries more of that overhead proportionally. The best way to control cost is keeping the fixture locations unchanged.
How much does a walk-in shower cost in Dallas?
A walk-in shower in Dallas costs $4,500 – $12,000. An existing footprint with a standard pan, tile, and a framed glass door starts around $4,500 – $8,000. Curbless showers, custom tile benches, and frameless glass enclosures push the job to $8,000 – $12,000. We waterproof every walk-in shower with cement board substrate and a proper pan membrane because North Texas humidity turns shortcuts into leaks within two years. Call (940) 204-5368 for an exact quote on your shower.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel?
The most expensive part of a Dallas bathroom remodel is usually the wet area: the tub, shower, tile, waterproofing, and plumbing beneath it. That work alone commonly accounts for $4,000 – $10,000 of the total project, depending on whether you change the layout and what level of tile you choose. Moving drain lines on a concrete slab foundation, which is standard across Dallas, adds another $1,500 – $4,000. Everything else, like paint, lighting, cabinetry, and trim, is comparatively affordable.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Dallas?
A typical full bathroom remodel in Dallas takes 2 to 4 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A small bathroom refresh can be done in 1 to 2 weeks. Lead time for custom cabinetry or special-order tile can add 3 to 6 weeks before the crew starts, though most KraftMaid and Wellborn vanity orders arrive within that window. We give you a written timeline alongside your written price, including the arrival window, before any work starts. Call (940) 204-5368 to get a real project duration for your bathroom.
Can you remodel a bathroom for under $10,000 in Dallas?
Yes, if the bathroom is small, the layout stays unchanged, and you choose mid-grade materials. A 5×8 hall bath with a new tub surround, standard vanity, porcelain tile floor, and fresh paint typically finishes between $7,500 and $10,000 in Dallas. Full custom tile, premium fixtures, or a layout change will push beyond that. The best way to know is to get a written price. Estimates are free.
