Cosmetic Refresh vs. Full Remodel
Both approaches can transform your bathroom. The difference is how deep the work goes and how long the result lasts.
- A cosmetic refresh keeps your existing layout and plumbing in place. You get a new vanity, updated fixtures, fresh tile, and better lighting without touching the walls behind them. It's the fastest route to a noticeably improved bathroom — and the most budget-friendly.
- A full remodel starts from the studs. Everything comes out — tile, fixtures, plumbing, and often the subfloor. You redesign the space from scratch, including layout changes, custom shower work, and upgraded fixtures built to last 20+ years.
What Affects the Cost of a Bathroom Remodel in Bell County
Bathroom remodels in Central Texas typically range from around $8,000 on the low end up to $70,000 for a more extensive project. Scope is the biggest driver — a cosmetic refresh and a full gut are completely different jobs even if the finished result looks similar.
Size matters too. A 40 sq ft half-bath costs far less than a 120 sq ft primary suite with a double vanity, walk-in shower, and soaking tub. Tile selection can move the estimate significantly. Standard ceramic and custom stone sit at very different price points, and the difference compounds across floors, walls, and a full shower surround.
Layout changes add cost immediately. If you’re relocating a toilet, shower drain, or sink, expect to budget for rough plumbing work on top of the visible finish work. Finish level ties it all together — budget fixtures, mid-range faucets, and premium custom hardware follow very different pricing, and those differences multiply across every element of the bathroom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling Costs
Gill Construction has done bathroom remodels ranging from around $8,000 on the low end up to $70,000 for a more extensive project. Scope is the biggest driver — a full gut costs significantly more than updating fixtures and tile. Size, material selections, and whether plumbing needs to move all factor in.
A cosmetic refresh typically takes 3 to 7 days. A partial remodel with a new shower and vanity usually runs 1 to 2 weeks. A full bathroom gut can take 2 to 4 weeks depending on tile complexity, whether plumbing or electrical work is involved, and material lead times.
In most cases, yes — especially if plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved. Gill Construction handles permitting as part of the project. We pull the required permits and schedule inspections so you don’t have to manage the process.
A partial remodel replaces specific components — a shower, flooring, vanity, or fixtures — while keeping the existing layout. A full remodel is a complete gut, often including new plumbing, new tile from floor to ceiling, and a redesigned layout. Full remodels cost more but give you total control over the finished result.
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower typically costs between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on size, tile selection, niche and bench details, fixture quality, and whether any plumbing needs to be relocated. It’s one of the most commonly requested upgrades we do.
Usually yes, especially if you have a second bathroom. For single-bathroom homes, we structure the timeline to minimize how long you’re without a working bathroom. We’ll walk through the schedule before work starts so you can plan accordingly.
Every quote breaks down labor, materials, scope of work, and any variables identified during the walkthrough. You see exactly what you’re paying for before we start — no hidden fees, no surprises in the final invoice.
Yes, with some coordination. We work with owner-supplied materials regularly. Just be aware that labor warranty does not extend to materials we didn’t source, and special-order lead times can affect your project schedule. We’ll flag anything that could cause delays.
