Custom bathroom renovation Tulsa

What a full remodel actually fixes

Most people call us because of something they cannot see. A floor that feels soft by the tub. Grout that goes dark again a week after it is scrubbed. A smell in the room that never quite leaves. Those are all the same story: water got behind the surface, and nothing stopped it.

A full remodel is the one chance to put that right. The room comes out to the studs, we deal with whatever is behind the wall, and it goes back together with cement board or foam board and a waterproofing membrane in every wet area. Never sheetrock, never green board. That is the part you will never see again, and it decides how long the room lasts.

Then we build the bathroom you actually wanted: the layout, the tile, the vanity, the lighting, the fixtures. The materials are your choice, including ones you buy yourself; we are happy to recommend, and if something will not work for how you will use the room in ten years, we say so before you pay for it.

Full remodel

Out to the studs and rebuilt

We take the room out completely, deal with whatever is behind the walls, waterproof every wet area with cement or foam board and a membrane, then rebuild it with the tile, vanity, lighting and fixtures you choose. Plumbing, electrical, painting and the small repairs that turn up are all handled inside the one job.

  • Itemized written quote in 1 to 2 days

Master bathroom remodel Tulsa

What is in every full remodel

Walk-in shower with marble-look tile, a built-in bench, and a frameless glass panel
  1. Tear-out to the studs

    The old room comes out completely, so nothing soft, rotten or waterlogged gets tiled over and forgotten.

  2. Waterproofing in every wet area

    Cement board or foam board, Schluter KERDI-BOARD or Wedi, with a waterproofing membrane over it. This is the step a cheaper bid leaves out.

  3. Delta fixtures as our default

    We fit Delta because parts can be replaced years from now without opening the wall again. We will fit Moen or Kohler instead if you prefer them.

  4. The trades that go with it

    Plumbing, electrical and lighting, painting, concrete and the small repairs that turn up once the walls are open, all handled inside the one job.

  5. An itemized written quote

    Yours in 1 to 2 days, naming the materials, and saying plainly what could change the price once we can see behind the wall.

  6. A written 1-year warranty

    On our workmanship, with the manufacturer warranties on everything we install passed through to you.

Signs it is time to start over

  • The floor feels soft or springy near the tub or the toilet.
  • Grout keeps cracking or going dark no matter how often it is cleaned.
  • There is a musty smell in the room that never quite goes away.
  • Tile is loose, or the shower wall gives a little when you press on it.
  • The layout has stopped working: a tub nobody can get into, or no room for a walker or a wheelchair.
  • You are patching the same problem for the second or third time.

Shower waterproofing in Tulsa, OK

How to tell a bathroom that lasts from one that leaks

Almost every expensive bathroom failure starts behind the tile. These are the parts you are really buying, and the words worth knowing before you compare two quotes.

Cutaway of a shower wall in five layers: wooden stud, cement or foam board, a waterproofing membrane marked as the layer you never see, thinset, and tile
A shower wall, layer by layer. The membrane is the one that decides how long it lasts.

What is behind your tile

Tile and grout do not keep water out. The board behind them, and what is painted or sheeted over it, is what does.

Cement board
A rigid panel of cement and fibreglass mesh. Water does not rot or soften it, which is why it belongs behind tile in a shower. It is not waterproof by itself: water passes through it, so it still needs a membrane over the top.
Foam board
A lighter panel with a waterproof core, such as Schluter KERDI-BOARD or Wedi. The board and its sealed seams are the waterproofing, so it does both jobs at once. It costs more per sheet and saves a step.
Green board
Moisture-resistant drywall, and still drywall. It belongs outside the shower at most. Behind wet-area tile it eventually goes soft, the tile loses its backing, and the repair is the whole wall. We do not use it in a wet area.
Waterproofing membrane
A sheet or liquid coat over the backer board that stops water reaching the structure behind it. It is invisible the moment the tile goes on, and it is the single layer that decides whether a shower lasts for decades or leaks within a year.

The parts nobody quotes on

Two more things decide how long a bathroom lasts, and in Tulsa a third one does as well.

Shower pan
The sloped floor of the shower, which has to fall evenly to the drain. In Tulsa it also has to allow for hot summers and cold winters moving a slab. A pan that was never sloped correctly is the most common reason a shower floor stays wet.
Ventilation
A bathroom sealed up with new tile and no working exhaust moves the moisture into the paint and the ceiling. A fan does its job when it runs during the shower and for a while after it. Most of our jobs do not include a fan; when one does, the new or replacement fan goes in to the manufacturer's specifications.
Why Tulsa is its own problem
Hot summers and cold winters move a slab, and a heated house against a cold night puts moisture on every cold surface in the room, bathroom windows first. Shower pans and slab pours have to allow for it. Crews used to Phoenix or Florida apply methods that do not hold up here.
Three shower walls side by side, tile over a waterproof membrane, acrylic or solid-surface wall panels, and a one-day shower kit, each on sound framing with what it costs in time, cleaning and choice
Whatever goes on the wall, damage behind the old surround has to come out first.

How to judge a quote

Two bids can be thousands apart and describe the same room. This is usually where the difference is.

Panels, one-day kits and tile
We install acrylic and solid-surface wall panels and one-day shower kits all the time, as well as tile. Panels and kits go up fast and clean easily; tile gives more choice of size, layout and look. Either way, an old surround can hide water damage, and that gets fixed before anything new goes up.
What to ask any contractor
Which backer board goes behind the tile, whether a membrane goes over it, where the fan vents, who holds the warranty and how a claim works. When one bid is cheaper and nobody can say why, this is usually where the money came out.

  • I hired Oklahoma Bath Professionals to redo my alcove shower. The results were way beyond my expectations. From start to finish the team were communicative, punctual, and respectful of my home.

Bathroom remodel questions in Tulsa

What people ask before they book

How long does a full bathroom remodel take?

About a week for most bathrooms, and up to two weeks when the room is large or the tile is intricate. Work usually starts 1 to 2 weeks after you approve the quote, and you get the schedule before anyone shows up.

What does a full bathroom remodel cost in Tulsa?

Most full remodels land between $10,000 and $25,000, and our minimum job is $2,500 to $5,000. What moves the number is the size of the room, whether the plumbing moves, and the tile and fixtures you choose. Your written quote itemizes all of it.

What happens if you find rot behind the wall?

Work stops and you get a call with photos before anything else happens. We tell you what we found, what it costs to put right, and what it means for the schedule, then you decide. Nothing damaged gets covered up, and nothing extra gets billed that you did not agree to first. Your estimate says up front that this can happen, because in an older Tulsa bathroom it often does.

Can you do my bathroom in a day, like the ads say?

A shower, often yes. We install one-day shower kits and acrylic or solid-surface wall panels all the time, and they are a fair choice next to tile. A full remodel, with tile, a new layout or the room taken to the studs, takes about a week. The one caution is the same either way: if water has got behind the old surround, the damage gets fixed before anything new goes in, and that can add time.

Why do you waterproof when other quotes do not?

Because it is the difference between a shower that lasts and one that leaks within a year. We use cement board or foam board with a waterproofing membrane, never sheetrock or green board in a wet area. It costs more, and it is the reason we can put a written warranty on the work.

Do you handle the plumbing and electrical too?

Yes, as part of the bathroom job, along with lighting, painting, concrete and small repairs. We do not take those on as standalone work, only inside a bathroom remodel.

Will my remodel need a permit?

Not necessarily. Oklahoma state law does not necessarily require a permit for a bathroom remodel; whether yours needs one depends on the work and where your home is. We talk it through with you at the estimate, and we help with HOA approvals as well.

Can you add a bathroom, or finish one in a basement?

Yes. A bathroom addition and a basement bathroom remodel are both work we do, and both lean harder on the parts people cannot see: where the drain runs, how the slab was poured, and how the room is waterproofed. We will tell you at the estimate what your space makes possible.

Is there a warranty, and will you still be here to honor it?

A written 1-year warranty on our workmanship, plus the manufacturer warranties on what we install. Jeremy has lived in Tulsa 39 years and the company has been remodeling bathrooms here since 2018, so there is someone local to call.
