Small Bathroom Remodel Ideas That Make The Room Work

What we change in a small bathroom, what it costs and how long you are without it, from the Fort Collins crew that does the work.

Quick Answer

What makes the biggest difference in a small bathroom remodel?

In a small bathroom remodel, four changes do the most: a walk-in shower where the tub was, a vanity sized to the room, clear glass in place of a curtain, and storage built into the wall. Fort Collins Bathroom and Home Remodeling does this work across Northern Colorado. A shower conversion can take one day, and a full remodel 2 to 4 weeks.

Where The Space Goes

What changes most in a small bathroom?

A walk-in shower where the tub was

A vanity sized to the room

Clear glass in place of a curtain

A niche built into the shower wall

A curbless or low-threshold entry

A tub-to-shower conversion turns the tub you rarely use into a shower you walk straight into. A clear glass door lets you see to the back wall, so the room no longer ends at a curtain. A niche in the shower wall and a recessed medicine cabinet keep bottles and razors inside the walls and off the counter, and our vanity installation page covers sizing the cabinet to the room.

Honest Pricing

What does a small bathroom remodel cost?

Typical ranges, not a quote: a partial refresh or vanity update runs $2,500 to $6,500, a shower or tub-to-shower conversion starts at $16,500, and a mid-range full remodel runs $25,000 to $30,000. A small room does not always cost much less, because the plumbing, the shower and the vanity are the same jobs at any size. Your exact number comes from a free in-home quote, and our bathroom remodel cost guide breaks the ranges down.

Room To Move

Does a curbless shower make a small bathroom feel bigger?

It usually does. With no curb, the bathroom floor runs straight into the shower, so your eye reads one floor from the door to the back wall. It is also easier to step into, now and years from now. At the free quote we check whether your floor and drain can take a curbless base, and where they cannot, a low-threshold base keeps the step small.

Small Bathroom Remodel Questions

Should I swap the tub for a shower in a small bathroom?

If nobody in the house takes baths, usually yes: a walk-in shower is easier to step into and opens up the room. If you bathe small children or enjoy a soak, keep the tub, and we can still give it new grout-free walls and a new vanity beside it.

One sized to the room. A single vanity that leaves the walkway clear, with a recessed medicine cabinet above it, gives you storage without taking floor. We bring options to the free in-home quote.

Usually, yes. The floor runs into the shower with no step, so the room reads as one space. We check at the quote whether your floor can take a curbless shower; where it cannot, a low-threshold base keeps the step small.

Typical ranges, not a quote: $2,500 to $6,500 for a partial refresh or vanity update, from $16,500 for a shower or tub-to-shower conversion, and $25,000 to $30,000 for a mid-range full remodel. Your exact price comes from a free in-home quote.

A one-day shower conversion is done in a single day. A full remodel usually runs 2 to 4 weeks, counted from when your materials are on site, and you know the schedule before work starts.

Yes. Our crew also works in Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, Timnath and Wellington.
