Master bathroom remodels in Dallas: double vanities, walk-in showers, real storage
The primary bath is the one remodel where layout usually changes, so we plan the drains, the valve locations and the glass before anyone picks tile.

Fixtures and surfaces we install in Dallas master baths: Kohler and TOTO fixtures, Moen and Delta valves, Jacuzzi tubs, Schluter waterproofing and Cambria or Silestone tops.
A master bathroom remodel in Dallas typically runs 20,000 to 35,000 dollars in market data, with custom projects at 30,000 to 55,000 and up, and takes four to six weeks on site. The two decisions that set the number are whether the tub and shower split into separate spaces and how many fixtures move on the slab.
What a Dallas master bath remodel usually has to solve
Most Dallas primary baths from the 1980s through the 2000s share one layout: a garden tub under a window, a small framed shower beside it, a long single vanity and a toilet closet. The tub goes unused, the shower is too small, and the vanity has no drawers.
The remodel that works is usually a swap. The tub footprint becomes a large walk-in shower with a bench and a linear drain, the old shower stall becomes a freestanding soaking tub or storage, and the vanity is rebuilt as a two-sink run with drawers. That means drains move, which on a Dallas slab means tunneling or trenching, so we price it per fixture up front.
The finish level is your call. A Kohler or TOTO wall-hung toilet, a Jacuzzi soaking tub, Cambria tops and frameless glass are common here; so is a porcelain-and-Moen room that spends the money on the layout instead.
Keep the tub, or trade it for a bigger shower?
| Freestanding tub plus shower | Shower only | |
|---|---|---|
| Space needed | Room for a 60 to 72 inch tub plus a 36 by 60 shower | The tub footprint becomes the shower |
| Plumbing | Tub filler supply run plus a shower drain move | One drain move, one valve |
| Waterproofing | Two wet areas or one shared wet room | One wet area |
| Typical Dallas range | Sits at the top of the 20,000 to 35,000 band | Lower in the same band |
| Resale in Dallas | Expected in larger homes | Fine in most homes; accessibility gain |
| Schedule | Five to six weeks | Four to five weeks |
Three master bath projects we build most
Double Vanity Build-Out
A double vanity needs two supply pairs and two drains, or one drain with a proper double-trap arm, plus a wider wall with blocking for two mirrors and two sconces. On an existing single-sink wall we add the second rough-in while the wall is open, run a dedicated circuit for outlets on each side, and set a cabinet run of 60 to 84 inches with drawers rather than doors. Tops are quartz on most jobs because a two-sink cutout in stone is where natural slabs crack.
Planning range, premium bathroom countertops: $900 to $6,500 depending on square footage and stone class.
Freestanding Tub and Walk-In Shower Split
This is the swap most Dallas master baths want: the corner garden tub comes out, the space becomes a tiled walk-in shower with a bench and niches, and a freestanding tub moves to the old shower stall or under the window. The tub filler needs its own supply run to a floor-mounted or wall-mounted valve, the shower gets a new drain location, and both are waterproofed as one wet area. Expect the most plumbing of any master bath project, and the biggest change in how the room lives.
Planning range, shower installation in Dallas: $6,490 to $12,365, average about $8,923; prefab as low as $500, large luxury builds up to $16,000.
Closet and Bath Reconfiguration
When the bath is too small and the closet beside it is oversized, the wall between them moves. A non-load-bearing wall goes under a Dallas building permit; a load-bearing one needs engineered plans. The gain is usually enough for a real shower, a linen tower and a separate toilet room, but every fixture that shifts on the slab is priced as a move. We draw the new footprint over the existing drain map before quoting so nothing surprises you after demo.
Planning range, moving one fixture on a slab foundation: $2,000 to $8,000 per fixture.
What sets the price of a master bath
Master baths are the widest price band in the trade. Six items decide where yours lands.
Planning range, master bathroom remodel: $20,000 to $35,000; full custom projects $30,000 to $55,000 and up. Market data, not a quote.
Fixtures that move
Each drain or supply relocation on the slab is its own line item.
Shower size and build
A curbless tiled shower with a linear drain costs more than a standard curb with a center drain.
Tub choice
A freestanding soaking tub adds a filler valve and its own supply run.
Vanity length and storage
Custom drawer runs and two sinks cost more than a stock double cabinet.
Tile format
Large-format porcelain and stone raise labor per square foot.
Glass and hardware
Frameless enclosures and Signature Hardware fittings sit above semi-frameless and stock.
Why layout changes cost what they do in Dallas
Nearly every Dallas master bath sits on a slab, and moving a fixture on a slab here runs roughly 2,000 to 8,000 dollars per fixture because the drain has to be tunneled under the house or trenched through the concrete. The Blackland clay under that slab also moves with the seasons, which is why a new shower pan on an old slab gets a crack-isolation membrane before tile. Most master projects finish in three to six weeks.
How long a Dallas master bath takes, and where the time goes
Slab work sets the pace. Tunneling or trenching for moved drains takes the first week, with an inspection at the end. Waterproofing and the flood test fill week two, tile runs through week three into four, and glass measured off the finished tile arrives a week or two later. No moved drains trims about a week.
