Floor Detail The goal was not simply to replace old fixtures. The bathroom was rebuilt as one coordinated system: demolition, substrate repairs, bathtub installation, wet-area protection, tile layout, plumbing fixtures, vanity, smart toilet and final finishing were completed in the correct sequence.
Large-format tile reduces visual clutter and gives a compact bathroom a cleaner, more spacious appearance. The neutral stone-inspired finish also creates a durable backdrop that works with future decor changes.
The details you see are supported by the work you do not see.
A bathroom can look good on completion day. The real test is whether the surfaces behind the tile were prepared correctly, the wet area was protected, the fixtures were set securely and every transition was properly sealed.
New Acrylic Bathtub
A new alcove tub installed and integrated with the prepared wet-area wall system.
Updated Shower Fixtures
New valve, showerhead, tub spout and trim coordinated with the completed tile layout.
Smart Toilet
A modern smart toilet installed with the required placement and surrounding finish details.
New Vanity & Faucet
New vanity, countertop, sink and faucet, finished with a practical tile detail at the wet area.
Large-Format Floor Tile
A clean floor layout that visually opens the room and minimizes unnecessary grout joints.
The Transformation
From Open Walls to a Clean, Finished Bathroom
A remodel is easier to evaluate when you can see both the work behind the finishes and the completed result.
Plumbing and framing exposed for inspection
The wall was opened so the shower connections and surrounding conditions could be reviewed before the new surfaces were installed.
Modern materials and a unified finish
The finished bathroom combines practical fixtures, larger tile, cleaner lines and carefully sealed transitions.
How It Was Built
A Bathroom Remodel Is a Sequence—Not a Collection of Shortcuts
The finished tile is only the visible layer. Good results depend on what happens before the first tile is installed.
01
Protection & Controlled Demolition
Protected the work area, removed the existing tub, wall tile, toilet, vanity, sink and fixtures, and cleared debris for inspection.
02
Inspection & Surface Repairs
Checked the exposed bathroom surfaces and completed the wall and floor preparation needed for the new installation.
03
Bathtub & Rough Connections
Set the new acrylic bathtub and coordinated the shower valve, tub spout, showerhead and fixture locations before closing the walls.
04
Wet-Area Preparation
Prepared the tub surround with the required backer and waterproofing details before tile installation.
05
Large-Format Tile Installation
Planned the tile layout, made precision cuts and installed the wall and floor tile with attention to alignment and transitions.
06
Fixtures, Grout & Silicone
Installed the vanity, sink, faucet, smart toilet and shower trim, then completed grout, silicone and finish details.
07
Final Review & Cleanup
Checked operation, completed the punch list, cleaned the work area and reviewed the finished bathroom with the homeowner.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQ
Questions Austin Homeowners Ask Before Remodeling
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Austin?
This completed bathroom had a $9,500 labor scope, with materials purchased separately. Your estimate depends on bathroom size, demolition, existing conditions, layout changes, waterproofing, tile, plumbing, electrical work and selected fixtures.
How long does a full bathroom renovation take?
This bathroom phase was planned for approximately 10 working days. More complex layouts, inspections, special-order materials, concealed repairs or custom glass can extend the schedule.
Can I keep the existing bathroom layout?
Yes. Keeping the tub, toilet and vanity in their current general locations is often the most efficient approach. Relocating drains, supply lines or walls can add time and cost.
What is behind the tile in the tub area?
The wet-area assembly must be properly prepared before tile installation. The exact backer and waterproofing approach depends on the selected system and existing conditions. We define the planned assembly in the project scope.
Do you install large-format bathroom tile?
Yes. Large-format tile requires careful surface preparation, layout planning, handling, cutting and setting. Tile size, pattern, room dimensions and substrate flatness all affect labor.
Can you install a smart toilet?
Yes, when the selected model fits the space and the required water and electrical connections are available. Any licensed electrical or plumbing work can be coordinated when required.
Who purchases the materials?
The material plan is confirmed before work begins. For labor-only proposals, the homeowner pays for materials directly or reimburses exact receipt cost without a material markup.
What areas do you serve?
Kir Remodeling serves Austin and nearby communities including Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Lakeway, Pflugerville and surrounding areas. Project fit and travel are confirmed during the initial review.
