Fixture Upgrades

Update Your Bathroom Without Full Renovation

Not every bathroom needs a complete overhaul. Strategic fixture upgrades can dramatically improve both function and appearance at a fraction of full renovation costs.

Popular Fixture Upgrades:

Toilet Replacement:

• Modern high-efficiency toilets (HET) use 20-60% less water
• Comfort height models easier for most adults
• Dual-flush options for water conservation
• Sleek one-piece designs for easier cleaning
• Added features: soft-close seats, bidet functions

Vanity and Sink Upgrades:

• Replace dated vanities with modern styles
• Upgrade to double sinks in master bathrooms
• Install vessel sinks for contemporary look
• Add storage with better-designed vanities
• Update faucets to touchless or pull-down styles

Tub and Shower Improvements:

• Replace worn tubs with modern soaking tubs or walk-in tubs
• Convert tub to walk-in shower (increasingly popular)
• Install frameless glass shower enclosures
• Upgrade to multi-head shower systems
• Add handheld shower heads for flexibility
• Install built-in shower benches

Faucet and Hardware Updates:

• Modern faucets dramatically improve appearance
• Touchless technology for hygiene
• Water-efficient fixtures reduce usage
• Coordinated hardware (towel bars, toilet paper holders, etc.)

Bathroom Layout Reconfiguration

Make Your Bathroom Work Better for Your Life

Sometimes the problem isn’t that fixtures are old, it’s that the bathroom layout simply doesn’t work. We can reconfigure bathroom layouts to:

Solve Common Layout Problems:

• Cramped spaces feeling larger through better fixture placement
• Dead space being converted to storage
• Doorways opening into awkward positions
• Lack of counter space around sinks
• Shower/tub placement that wastes space
• Poor accessibility for aging homeowners

Popular Reconfigurations:

• Moving toilet to create more floor space
• Relocating shower to improve flow
• Creating a separate toilet room (privacy in master baths)
• Expanding into adjacent closets or hallways
• Converting bathtubs to larger showers
• Adding a second sink in master bathrooms

Plumbing Relocation Expertise: Moving fixtures requires rerouting supply lines and drains, work that must be done properly to prevent future leaks and ensure adequate drainage. Our plumbing expertise ensures fixture relocations are done right.
