What's Included in a Full Bathroom Remodel
A full bathroom remodel with Bath by Design SA can include any combination of the following — scoped specifically to your bathroom, your priorities, and your budget:
Custom Shower Design & Installation
The shower is the centerpiece of most full bathroom renovations. We design and build custom walk-in showers with frameless glass, large-format tile, and built-in features (niches, benches, linear drains) that fit your specific footprint and aesthetic preferences. We also handle tub-to-shower conversions — the most-requested master bath upgrade in San Antonio.
Full Tile Replacement
Complete tile replacement throughout — shower walls, shower floor, and main bathroom floor. We select tile with your San Antonio environment in mind: large-format porcelain with minimal grout lines reduces mineral buildup in our hard-water city and dramatically cuts long-term maintenance. Every installation includes a full waterproofing membrane, not just cement board.
Vanity, Countertop & Sink
New vanity cabinetry in single or double configurations, updated countertop and integrated sink, and coordinated hardware finishes. We handle the plumbing, cabinetry installation, and countertop work as a single coordinated scope.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
Every shower we build receives a custom-measured frameless glass enclosure — not a stock panel dropped into an opening. Frameless glass makes any shower look larger, eliminates the grime-trapping tracks that come with framed units, and is dramatically easier to maintain in San Antonio’s hard-water environment.
Plumbing Fixture Upgrades
Shower valve, shower head (wall mount, rain head, or multi-function), hand shower, faucets, and toilet replacement coordinated with your finish selections. All plumbing work is permitted and inspected per City of San Antonio requirements.
Accessibility & Aging-in-Place Features
Curbless shower entry, grab bar installation (or blocking for future installation), comfort-height toilet, fold-down bench, and handheld showerhead configurations. Our accessibility work meets ADA standards and is designed to look like a luxury renovation — not a medical modification.

Why San Antonio Homeowners Choose Bath by Design SA
30+ Years Focused Exclusively on Bathrooms
We don’t do kitchens. We don’t do additions. We remodel bathrooms — and only bathrooms. That focus means our entire team, every tool we own, and every process we’ve built is optimized for one type of project. The result is faster timelines, deeper expertise, and less project friction than working with a general contractor.
Our Own Installation Team — No Subcontractors
Your project is installed by Bath by Design SA employees from start to finish. The same team that demos your bathroom waterproofs it, tiles it, and hangs your glass. We control quality at every stage. When you call with a question, the person who answers knows your project.
Fully Transparent, Itemized Pricing
Our estimates are broken down line by line — materials, labor, glass fabrication, permit fees. You see exactly what you’re paying for before you sign anything. We don’t use the change-order business model. Our quotes are accurate because we measure and plan properly upfront.
Design Expertise That Comes to You
We bring the design consultation to your home — with tile samples, fixture options, and layout drawings — so you can make decisions in the actual space, under its actual lighting. No appointment at a showroom, no selecting tile under fluorescent lights, no guessing how it will look.
Built for San Antonio’s Specific Conditions
We know San Antonio’s building codes, permit timelines, water hardness conditions, and the construction realities of the area’s housing stock — from 1960s ranches in established neighborhoods to newer builds in Alamo Ranch and New Braunfels. Local knowledge matters in bathroom remodeling.
Serving San Antonio and Surrounding Communities
Bath by Design SA provides full bathroom remodeling services throughout the greater San Antonio metro area, including Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, The Dominion, Helotes, Shavano Park, Boerne, New Braunfels, Converse, Universal City, Schertz, and Cibolo.
What Our Clients Say
“Outstanding and quick service. I was very impressed with their professionalism and their attention to detail. Thank you so much!”
Keith Gunter
We first worked with David and Melina a few years back when their team assisted with correcting another company’s renovation mistakes. We were very pleased with the final outcome which made it an easy choice to go with Bath By Design for our next project.
When we first started thinking about updating our fireplace, we knew we wanted something more modern, efficient, and low-maintenance than our old gas setup…
Sherry Friedman
Bath By Design SA did a great job on our bath remodel. From a garden tub and stall shower to a luxurious walk-in shower. They are professional in their approach and ensure the plan in place is exactly what the customer wants. Contractors used throughout the project do quality work and David consistently checks progress. We love our new shower!
Wendy Tiemann

His crew worked diligently from start to finish, they were professional and courteous during the entire process. They took great care by covering my floor, furniture and cleaned up before they left for the day. If you’re looking to remodel your bathroom I highly recommend Bath by Design SA. The first two are before pics the rest are after.”

Full Bathroom Remodel San Antonio: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a full bathroom remodel cost in San Antonio?
A full bathroom remodel in San Antonio typically costs between $15,000 and $45,000+, depending on the scope of work and material selections. A focused renovation (shower, vanity, and tile replacement without layout changes) generally runs $15,000–$22,000. A complete gut-and-rebuild with premium finishes and layout modifications ranges from $30,000 to $45,000+. Bath by Design SA provides itemized written estimates so you understand exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.
How long does a full bathroom remodel take in San Antonio?
A full bathroom remodel typically takes 4–8 weeks from consultation to final walkthrough. The construction phase itself — from demo day to final walkthrough — usually takes 15–25 business days. The largest time variables are material lead times and City of San Antonio permit processing, both of which occur before construction begins. We provide a realistic project timeline in your written estimate.
Do you handle permits for bathroom remodeling?
Yes. Any bathroom remodel involving plumbing changes requires a City of San Antonio building permit. Bath by Design SA pulls all required permits as part of our full-service process. We do not advise skipping permits — unpermitted plumbing work creates title problems at resale and can void homeowner’s insurance claims.
What is the return on investment for a full bathroom remodel?
Full bathroom remodels in San Antonio typically recover 60–75% of project cost at resale, and updated master bathrooms are consistently rated among the most desirable features by buyers. Beyond resale, the daily quality-of-life improvement is immediate — a functional, modern bathroom used by every household member every day is one of the most impactful upgrades available in the home.
Can I live in my home during a full bathroom remodel?
Yes, in most cases. Construction is confined to the bathroom, and our crew cleans up at the end of each workday. If the remodeled bathroom is your only shower, we discuss sequencing options during the consultation to minimize the number of days without shower access, or coordinate around a secondary bathroom if available.
Do you work on older San Antonio homes?
Yes, and we do so frequently. Older homes in San Antonio — from 1960s ranch homes in established neighborhoods to 1980s and 1990s construction throughout the metro area — are common in our project portfolio. Older homes sometimes have surprises behind the walls: outdated plumbing, water damage, or materials that require specific handling. We’re prepared for these situations and communicate immediately when we find them.
What's the difference between a full bathroom remodel and a bathroom renovation?
In practice, the terms are used interchangeably. A full bathroom remodel or renovation typically means replacing most or all major components of the bathroom — tile, shower, vanity, fixtures, flooring, and lighting — often with a layout redesign. It’s distinct from a cosmetic refresh (new fixtures and paint) or a partial remodel (replacing only one or two elements).
