Bathroom Remodeling in Round Rock, TX That Actually Gets Done on Budget
Bayside Home Builders handles full bathroom renovations across Round Rock and Central Texas, giving you real cost numbers upfront so there are no surprises when the work starts.
bathroom remodeling project · Round RockThat Aging Builder Bathroom Is Costing You More Than You Think
Most Round Rock homes built between 1985 and 2010 came with the same bathroom package: fiberglass tub surround, cultured marble vanity top, single-pane mirror, and lighting that was already dated on move-in day. Two or three decades of Central Texas heat, humidity, and hard water do real damage to those materials.
What you are living with
Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer region leaves calcium buildup that etches fiberglass and cultured marble permanently. Grout in older shower pans cracks, lets water behind the wall, and the problem is invisible until you have rot or mold. Fiberglass surrounds flex, the caulk fails, and the same thing happens. Round Rock homeowners sometimes repaint, recaulk, or regrout the same surfaces every couple of years and still end up with a bathroom that looks tired and performs worse each season.
What you get instead
A properly scoped remodel replaces the problem materials once. Porcelain tile, solid-surface or quartz vanity tops, and a properly waterproofed shower assembly do not need the same annual maintenance cycle. Costs in the Round Rock area typically run from roughly $7,000 on the low end for a straightforward guest bath refresh up to $25,000 or more for a primary bath with layout changes, a tile shower, and upgraded fixtures. The range is wide because scope varies. We give you a fixed-price contract after a proper assessment, not a ballpark that grows after demo.
Our Recent Work
What a Bathroom Remodel With Us Actually Covers
We handle the full scope in-house, which means one contract, one point of contact, and no finger-pointing between a tile sub and a plumber when something needs to be coordinated.
Demo and Disposal
We tear out the existing fixtures, tile, drywall, and flooring and haul everything off-site. You do not need to rent a dumpster or coordinate a junk crew.
Plumbing Rough-In and Finish
Relocating a drain, adding a second shower head, moving the toilet a few inches to open up the layout. We handle rough-in plumbing as part of the remodel, not as a separate trade you have to schedule yourself.
Tile and Stone Work
Floor tile, shower walls, niches, mud-set shower pans, and custom patterns. We work with porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. Layouts and grout colors are selected during design, before any ordering happens.
Vanity, Fixtures, and Hardware
New vanity cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, mirrors, and lighting are sourced, scheduled, and installed by our crew. We give you a specific selection deadline so material lead times do not push your project date.
Shower and Tub Installation
Walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, freestanding tubs, and built-in tub surrounds. We waterproof properly behind the walls, not just at the surface, because that is where most bathroom failures actually start.
Drywall, Paint, and Trim
We install moisture-resistant drywall in wet areas, texture to match the rest of your home, and paint the finished space. Door casings, baseboards, and transitions are included so the room looks complete, not like a gut job that got halfway done.
Why Homeowners in Central Texas Choose Bayside
There are a lot of contractors available. Here is what actually separates how we work.
Over 500 Projects Completed
That is not a marketing number. It means we have seen the plumbing surprises, the out-of-square walls, and the discontinued tile that gets discontinued two weeks into your project. We have a process for each of those situations because we have dealt with them before.
Insured and Bonded
We carry general liability insurance and are bonded. Before any work starts, we can provide documentation. If a contractor cannot show you a current certificate of insurance, do not let them into your home.
Fixed-Price Contracts Before Work Starts
We price the job in writing before demo begins. If we open a wall and find something unexpected, we tell you what it costs and get your approval before we proceed. You do not get a surprise invoice at the end.
We Know Central Texas Conditions
Austin's clay soil moves. Humidity is real six months out of the year. We specify materials and waterproofing methods that hold up here, not products rated for a climate that does not match where you live.
How a Remodel Goes From First Call to Finished Room
Four steps. No surprises built into the process on purpose.
Step 1: In-Home Consultation
We come to your house, look at the actual space, and talk through what you want to change and what your budget is. We ask about your timeline and tell you honestly whether it is realistic. No charge for this visit.
Step 2: Scope and Pricing
Based on the consultation, we put together a written scope of work and a fixed price. We walk you through it line by line. If something is out of budget, we tell you what can be adjusted and what cannot before you sign anything.
Step 3: Selections and Scheduling
Once the contract is signed, we give you a selections checklist with deadlines tied to your project start date. Tile, fixtures, and vanities need to be ordered before demo starts. We guide you through that process so nothing holds up your build date.
Step 4: Construction and Walkthrough
Our crew does the work. We give you a schedule at the start so you know what is happening each week. At the end, we do a final walkthrough together. Any punch list items get handled before we consider the job closed.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs
Here is what bathroom remodels actually cost in Round Rock, based on real projects we have completed across Williamson County.
Guest or small bath
A clean, functional refresh of a secondary bathroom.
Master bath
A full remodel of the primary bathroom with quality finishes.
Luxury master
Custom tile, premium fixtures, and a fully reworked layout.
Round Rock permits run through the City of Round Rock Building and Development Services office, and review times for bathroom work typically add one to two weeks to project start dates, so we factor that in before scheduling demo. Many homes in established Round Rock subdivisions like Teravista and Forest Creek were built in the late 1990s through 2000s, which means we commonly find outdated polybutylene supply lines or undersized exhaust ventilation that has to be corrected once walls are open. We give you a fixed, itemized estimate before any work begins so those discoveries do not become surprises on your invoice.
Bathroom Remodeling in Round Rock, Texas
Round Rock sits in Williamson County, just north of Austin on I-35. We serve homeowners here with the same design-build process we use across Central Texas, pulling permits locally and working with the housing stock that's actually here.
Permits & review
Bathroom remodels in Round Rock that involve moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or structural changes require permits through the City of Round Rock Building and Development Services. Simple cosmetic work, new fixtures in existing locations, tile replacement, vanities, does not typically require a permit. We handle the permit application and scheduling inspections so you are not chasing paperwork.
Housing stock
Round Rock grew rapidly through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, so a large share of the housing stock falls in that 20 to 40 year range. Bathrooms in those homes often have builder-grade fiberglass tub-shower combos, outdated vanity lighting, and original tile that is starting to show its age. Older homes near downtown Round Rock may have original plumbing configurations that add scope to a remodel. We assess what is behind the walls before finalizing a scope, not after demo starts.
Areas we serve
We serve Round Rock and the surrounding Williamson County corridor, including Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Hutto, Georgetown, and north Austin. If you are within reasonable distance of Round Rock, contact us and we will confirm coverage before you invest time in a consultation.
Common questions
What is a realistic budget for a bathroom remodel in Round Rock?
For most Round Rock homeowners, a realistic budget lands somewhere between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on the size of the bathroom and what you are replacing. A basic guest bath refresh with new tile, a vanity, and updated fixtures typically runs $8,000 to $12,000. A primary bath with a custom tile shower, double vanity, and layout changes runs $15,000 to $25,000 or more. Anything below $7,000 usually means cosmetic-only work or cutting corners on waterproofing and tile setting, which costs more to fix later.
What is the typical cost to remodel a bathroom in Texas?
In the Austin metro and Round Rock area specifically, expect to pay $150 to $300 per square foot for a full remodel once you factor in labor, materials, permits, and any plumbing or electrical updates. Texas labor rates have climbed since 2020, and material costs in Central Texas reflect that. A mid-range 50-square-foot bathroom remodel commonly totals $10,000 to $18,000. These are honest working numbers, not the low-end figures some contractors advertise to get in the door.
What does a $10,000 bathroom remodel look like?
At $10,000 in Round Rock, you can realistically replace a tub-shower combo with new tile surround, swap out a vanity and toilet, update lighting and exhaust, and refinish or replace flooring. What you generally cannot do at that price is move plumbing, expand the footprint, or install a frameless glass shower enclosure with custom tile work. If a contractor tells you all of that is possible for $10,000, ask for a fully itemized written estimate before you sign anything.
Is $10,000 enough for a bathroom remodel?
$10,000 is enough for a solid cosmetic and fixture remodel on a secondary bathroom in Round Rock. It is not enough for a primary bath gut renovation, a walk-in tile shower build from scratch, or any job that requires moving drain lines or adding square footage. If your list of changes is longer than your budget allows, we can help you prioritize the work that adds the most value and waterproofing integrity first, and phase the rest.
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Round Rock?
Yes, in most cases. Round Rock requires permits for work that involves moving or adding plumbing, electrical panel or wiring changes, or structural modifications. Cosmetic work like replacing a vanity or swapping fixtures typically does not require a permit, but converting a tub to a walk-in shower or relocating a toilet usually does. Bayside pulls all required permits on our jobs. Skipping permits can create problems when you sell the home, so it is worth doing correctly.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Round Rock?
A standard bathroom remodel with demo, tile, plumbing fixtures, and finish work runs 2 to 4 weeks for most jobs once materials are on site. Larger primary baths with custom tile work, frameless glass, or plumbing relocations can run 4 to 6 weeks. The variable most homeowners do not account for is material lead time. Tile, vanities, and fixtures ordered from specialty suppliers can take 2 to 6 weeks to arrive. Plan your start date around when everything is confirmed in stock, not when you sign the contract.
How do I choose a bathroom remodeling contractor in Round Rock?
Ask for a Texas contractor license number and verify it with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Confirm they carry general liability and workers compensation insurance, and ask for a certificate you can verify directly with the insurer. Get a written scope of work that specifies materials by brand and model, not just categories like 'tile' or 'vanity.' And check that the contract includes a payment schedule tied to completed milestones, not just calendar dates. A contractor who resists any of these requests is telling you something important.
