How Long Does A Bathroom Remodel Take?

One day or a few weeks? What each kind of job takes and what sets the schedule, from the Fort Collins crew that builds them.

Quick Answer

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A full bathroom remodel usually takes 2 to 4 weeks once materials are on site. A one-day shower conversion, where a composite shower system replaces the old tub or shower in the same spot, is usually finished in a single day. Fort Collins Bathroom and Home Remodeling gives you a clear schedule with your quote, before any work starts.

Every job starts with a free in-home visit, usually the same week you call. We measure, talk through the layout and give you a flat-rate price and a schedule. Once you approve the design and the materials are on site, one crew handles the demolition, plumbing and installation through to the final walkthrough. Our full bathroom remodel page lists everything that is included.

By Type Of Job

How long does each kind of bathroom job take?

One-day shower conversion: usually a single day.
Custom shower built from the studs: longer, because the valve, base and walls are all new. The schedule comes with your quote.
Full bathroom remodel: usually 2 to 4 weeks once materials are on site.

Where a job needs a permit, one of the two general contractors we work with pulls it, and we can tell you at the quote whether yours does.

Planning Ahead

What makes a remodel take longer?

Most of the time goes into work you will never see: taking the old bathroom out, the new plumbing and the waterproofing behind the walls. Moving the drain or the valve, changing the layout and waiting on materials all add days. The 2 to 4 weeks for a full remodel is counted from when your materials are on site.

How can a shower be done in one day?

When the shower stays in the same spot, a composite base and large wall panels go in with no grout to cure. Watch one finished in a day.
