Start by measuring the space and thinking about how you use it each day. In a tight bathroom, a streamlined shower frees up space and makes the room feel larger. If you have more room—or simply love soaking—a tub or a tub-shower combo adds comfort and versatility. Match the fixture to your lifestyle and the available layout so you get both practicality and visual appeal from the upgrade.
Focus on water- and energy-saving swaps. Low-flow toilets and showerheads reduce water use without compromising pressure, while LED bulbs and motion-sensor switches lower electricity bills. Add aerators to faucets, seal around windows, and consider a humidity-sensing exhaust fan for extra savings. Each upgrade reduces utility costs and makes the space more comfortable on a day-to-day basis.
Begin with demolition and haul-away of old fixtures. Next, tackle any structural repairs, then move to plumbing and electrical rough-ins while the walls are open. Once the guts are in place, add waterproofing, then lay tile or apply paint. Install the major pieces—the shower or tub, toilet, and vanity —so they’re protected before the floor is installed. Finally, set flooring, hang mirrors and lights, and add hardware for a clean, durable finish.
Focus on upgrades that combine everyday function with broad buyer appeal. A sleek walk-in shower with frameless glass, a space-saving double vanity, and updated lighting top the list for solid ROI. These changes boost safety, improve storage, and give the room a modern look—features that catch a buyer’s eye and can help your home sell faster.
