Bathroom remodeling in Utah County
Most bathrooms we remodel keep their layout. What changes is the tile, the shower or tub surround, the vanity, the mirrors, the lighting and the paint. Licensed plumbers and electricians make the connections under their own permits, and we run the job in the right order.

In short
Wasatch Finish remodels bathrooms in Highland, Alpine, American Fork, Lehi, Draper, Sandy and South Jordan. We handle demolition, backer board and drywall, floor and wall tile, tub and shower surrounds, vanities, mirrors, trim, doors and paint. Plumbing and electrical work is done by licensed plumbers and electricians under their own permits. Most remodels keep the existing layout, and a new basement bathroom is usually built at the plumbing rough-in the builder left.
What’s included
- Tile floors, walls, and shower surrounds
- Vanities, tops, and mirrors
- Fixtures set by a licensed plumber at existing locations
- Drywall repair in wet rooms
- Interior paint and trim
- Shower-glass coordination
- Backer board and prep behind new tile
- Trade coordination for plumber and electrician
- Hardware, accessories, and bath doors
- Punch list after fixtures are set
A licensed plumber handles the valves, drains and fixture connections, and a licensed electrician handles lighting, outlets and the fan circuit. We schedule them, then tile, set the vanity, finish the walls and paint once their part has passed.
Typical pricing
From about $12,000
Driven by tile, fixtures, the vanity, and the size of the room.
An estimate, not a quote. Your real number follows an on-site visit and a written scope.
Get a free estimateLayout kept on purpose
Keeping the tub, toilet and sink where they are keeps the price and the schedule down. If you want something moved, the plumber prices that part before anyone demos tile.
Wet-area prep before pretty tile
Membrane, slope, and a sound substrate are in the scope because they are what keep the tile attached. Finish selections sit on top of that, not instead of it.
Trades named on the quote
The plumber and electrician are not a vague allowance. Their part is listed on its own line so you can see the split before demo.
One bath offline, not the whole house
A single-bath refresh is sequenced so you know which days the room cannot be used. That window is in the written schedule, not invented after demo.
Basement bathrooms at the rough-in
Many newer homes in Lehi, South Jordan, American Fork and Highland have a bathroom drain and supply stubs waiting in the basement slab. Building the room there avoids cutting concrete and keeps the cost down. The plumber confirms the rough-in, sets the fixtures and connects them; we frame and insulate the walls, hang board, tile the shower, set the vanity and finish the room. Below-grade baths need an exhaust fan ducted outside, and South Jordan's code sheet spells out the airflow. See what a basement bathroom costs in Utah.
Hard water and tile choices
Water along the Wasatch Front is hard, and it shows on glass and dark, glossy tile first. Lighter or matte tile, larger tiles with fewer grout lines, a stain-resistant grout and a glass door you can squeegee are small choices that keep a shower looking new longer. We talk through them when you pick tile, not after it is installed.
Bathroom remodeling by city
- Highland: any electrical, plumbing or mechanical installation needs a permit; we confirm cosmetic-only jobs with the city.
- Alpine: larger primary baths in custom homes, often with tall walls and big windows.
- American Fork: older baths near the canyon mouth, builder-grade baths along the I-15 corridor.
- Lehi: builder-grade baths in newer homes and basement baths at the rough-in.
- Draper: a basement bath must vent outside or have an openable window of at least 1.5 sq ft.
- Sandy: 1970s to 1990s baths with original tile and fiberglass tubs.
- South Jordan: Daybreak and newer-build baths, exhaust that must not recirculate.
Where the number comes from.
- Tile scope: a tub-surround vs. a full floor-to-ceiling walk-in shower with niche, bench, and accent bands swings labor and material hard
- Shower build: the pan, curb and membrane behind the tile are built and tested before tile goes on, and that prep is a real share of the cost
- Vanity and countertop choice: stock single vs. double, plus quartz/stone, undermount sinks, and new faucet sets
- Fixture finish level: shower valve trim, hardware, lighting, mirrors, and exhaust fan upgrades add up fast
- Demo and substrate condition: hidden moisture damage or rotted subfloor found at tear-out adds repair before new finishes go in
- Layout reuse: keeping the existing tub, toilet, and sink locations keeps cost down; quantity of tile cuts and corners raises it
Licensed trades, one schedule
A bathroom touches three trades. We line them up so the room is out of use for as few days as possible:
- Valves, drains, supply lines and fixture connections: a licensed plumber, under their own permit.
- Lighting, GFCI outlets, heated floors and the fan circuit: a licensed electrician, under their own permit.
- Moving a wall or changing the layout: priced separately, with the right licensed contractor, before demo.
- A wall that keeps getting wet: we find out why with a specialist before anything is closed up.

From the first message to the last touch-up.
- 01
Walk the existing room
We confirm fixture locations, substrate, ventilation, and what you want to change. Anything that would move a drain, a vent, or a circuit is marked as referred to a licensed plumber or electrician.
- 02
Written scope and selections
Tile, vanity, fixtures, and paint are listed with lead times. You approve the document before demo. Special-order glass and tile are called out because they set the calendar.
- 03
Demo and trade rough
Finishes come out inside the existing footprint. The plumber and electrician do any allowed like-for-like work on their licenses. We do not run new supply, drain, or cable.
- 04
Prep, tile, set, paint
Backer board and prep go in, then tile, then the vanity, after the plumber and electrician have set valves and boxes; the plumber then sets the fixtures. Paint and trim close the room.
- 05
Walk the wet room
We check grout, caulk, door swings, and paint, then close the punch list.
- Timeline
- A cosmetic refresh that keeps every fixture in place often takes a couple of weeks of on-site work plus tile cure time. Special-order vanities, tile, and glass add calendar time before demo. A full gut that still stays in the existing layout takes longer. Those are typical durations, not a dated promise.
- Permits
- A like-for-like cosmetic update — new tile, vanity, and paint at existing fixture locations — often does not need a building permit under the finish-work exemptions cities publish. New plumbing, new electrical, a layout change, or a new bath in unfinished space does need permits, and those portions are done by licensed plumbers and electricians. The city building department for the address is the authority.

Bathroom Remodeling, answered.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost?
It depends on the size of the room, how much tile goes on the walls, the shower or tub, the vanity and whether anything moves. A refresh that keeps every fixture in place costs far less than a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower. After the walkthrough you get a written, line-item quote with the plumber's and electrician's parts on their own lines.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Most take two to four weeks of on-site work, depending on tile, fixtures and whether the layout stays the same. Special-order vanities, tile and glass are ordered before demo so the room is not sitting open while you wait.
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom?
It depends on the work and the city. New tile, a vanity and paint with every fixture in the same place often needs no permit. New plumbing, new circuits, a new fan duct or a layout change usually does. We check with your city before the quote and handle the filing if one is needed.
Can you finish the bathroom in my basement?
Yes. If the builder left a drain and supply rough-in, the bathroom goes there. If there is no rough-in, the plumber prices the new lines first so you can decide before anything else is quoted.
Can we use the bathroom while you remodel it?
Not the one we are working on. Plan on it being out of use for the on-site weeks in your schedule. If it is your only full bath, tell us at the walkthrough and we will sequence the work to shorten that window.
Can you turn a tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. The plumber changes the drain and valve, the new shower pan is built and tested before any tile goes on, and then we tile and finish the room; the glass door goes in last. We price it as one job with each trade's part on its own line.
Which tile holds up to Utah's hard water?
Lighter colors and matte finishes hide mineral spots better than dark glossy tile. Larger tiles mean fewer grout lines to clean, and a stain-resistant grout keeps the lines from going gray. A squeegee on the glass after each shower does more than any coating.
Who does the plumbing and electrical?
Licensed plumbers and electricians, under their own permits. We schedule them into the job, and their work is listed separately on your quote so you can see exactly who does what.
