What’s Included in a Full Bathroom Remodel?

Have you ever stood in your bathroom, stared at the peeling tiles or that ancient vanity, and thought, “It’s time”? We’ve been there. At Burrini & Sons, our team has transformed bathrooms across Morris County, and let me tell you—there’s nothing quite like walking into a space that feels brand-new, efficient, and yes, a little luxurious.

But let’s get into the real question you’re here for: What’s actually included in a full bathroom remodel?

Let me walk you through what goes into a top-to-bottom transformation—step by step, story by story.

1. Demolition

   
   

Every good story starts with an ending. In this case, it's the end of your outdated tile, worn fixtures, and perhaps that wallpaper from the ‘90s that just won’t quit.

When we begin a full bathroom remodel, demolition is the first step. This includes:

• Removing old fixtures like sinks, tubs, and toilets

• Tearing up floor tiles and wall finishes

• Disconnecting water and power lines safely

I remember one client in Denville who had sentimental ties to their clawfoot tub—so we worked around it! That’s the beauty of working with a local contractor: we get it, and we care.

2. Plumbing and Electrical

If you’ve ever had a faucet leak or flickering light, you know just how important good plumbing and wiring are. Behind those walls is where the real magic happens.

In a full remodel, we typically:

• Reroute plumbing for new layouts (e.g., moving a tub or sink)

• Install water-efficient fixtures

• Upgrade or add outlets and lighting

• Ensure everything is up to Morris County building codes

If you're going for a modern vanity with dual sinks or a rainfall showerhead, these behind-the-scenes upgrades make your new design functional and safe.

3. Layout and Structural Adjustments

Sometimes, transforming your bathroom means rethinking the space entirely. We’ve knocked down walls, expanded into closets, and shifted layouts to maximize every square inch.

Here’s a tip: A curbless, walk-in shower isn’t just trendy—it’s also great for aging in place. We did one recently in Morristown, and our client loved how open and accessible the space became.

4. New Fixtures

Here’s where things start looking pretty.

Key elements include:

• New vanity and countertop (Quartz? Marble? We’ve done it all!)

• Modern toilet and optional bidet

• Shower or tub upgrade Whether you want a soaker tub or a sleek, tiled shower, the possibilities are endless.

• Mirrors, faucets, and cabinet hardware Often overlooked, but boy, do these add personality!

We once helped a family in Randolph who wanted their two teenage daughters to each have their own sink. The joy on their faces—worth every minute of planning.

5. Flooring and Wall Finishes

Let’s talk surfaces.

Full remodels usually include:

• Durable, water-resistant flooring Think porcelain tiles or luxury vinyl planks

• Tile backsplashes and surrounds Whether it’s a mosaic accent wall or a subway tile shower, tile adds both function and flair

• Fresh paint or wallpaper for moisture-prone areas

Bonus? New materials often make bathrooms easier to clean—music to any Morris County homeowner’s ears.

6. Ventilation, Lighting & Final Touches

Great bathrooms aren’t just about looks—they work hard too.

• Ventilation fans to prevent mold and moisture buildup

• Layered lighting: task lights by mirrors, ambient ceiling fixtures, even under-cabinet LEDs

• Shelving, towel racks, robe hooks, and more

And yes, we help you choose every little detail—from grout color to faucet finish. It’s these touches that make your bathroom feel custom.

7. What’s the Cost?

We get it. Budget matters.

For a full bathroom remodel in Morris County, costs typically range from $10,000 to $35,000+, depending on:

• Size of the bathroom

• Quality of materials

• Complexity of layout changes

The good news? According to the National Association of Realtors, bathroom remodels recoup up to 71% of their cost in home value. Plus, a stunning bathroom boosts daily joy—something that’s hard to put a price on.
