This Reisterstown project by the numbers

  • ~$86k full gut and luxury rebuild
  • 1 month+ from demolition to final walkthrough
  • 3 water features wall rain head, ceiling rain head and body jets
  • 2 sinks on one long vanity instead of two cabinets
  • 1 year labor warranty on the work

The before

A Big Room That Felt Small

This Reisterstown primary bathroom had plenty of square footage, but the layout wasted it. A drop-in jetted tub sat in a tiled deck under the windows, two separate dark vanities stood apart on one wall, and the only shower was a small stall tucked into a narrow alcove behind a framed glass door.

The homeowners wanted the opposite: a real walk-in shower they could stand in comfortably, a tub that felt like a feature, one long vanity with room for two, and finishes that looked like a high-end hotel.

  • Drop-in jetted tub with a tan tile deck and backsplash
  • Two separate cherry vanities with three-light bars
  • A small shower stall in an alcove with a framed glass door
  • Beige floor tile and a heat-lamp exhaust fan

How we built it

Studs to Spa in a Little Over a Month

A full gut with a custom shower, new plumbing and new electrical. The shower was rebuilt from the framing out so it is bigger, fully waterproofed and ready for every fixture the homeowners wanted.

  1. Step 1

    Demolition

    We removed the tub and its tile deck, both vanities, the shower stall and the floor tile, and opened the walls and part of the ceiling around the shower.

  2. Step 2

    Framing and rough-in

    The shower walls were reframed to make the shower larger, then we ran new plumbing for the rain heads, body jets and handheld, and new wiring for the lights, fan, sconces and smart toilet.

  3. Step 3

    The shower build

    A traditional liner shower pan went in first, then the linear drain, the black marble-look wall panels, the gold geometric accent panel and the hexagon mosaic floor.

  4. Step 4

    Tub, floor and finish

    The corner jetted tub, patterned hexagon floor tile, long double vanity, round gold mirrors, sconces, smart toilet, gold trim and the sliding glass door, then the final walkthrough.

The after

Black, White and Brushed Gold

The shower is dark and dramatic, the rest of the room is bright and white, and brushed gold ties the two together. The windows stayed where they were, so the room still fills with natural light.

What a Bathroom Like This Costs in Reisterstown

This project came to about $86,000. That is the high end for a bathroom, and it is driven by the scope, not the square footage: a full gut, a reframed custom shower with three water features, a jetted tub, a smart toilet, a long custom-look vanity, designer tile and brushed gold fixtures everywhere. A standard primary bath remodel in Maryland costs far less.
