Portland Bathroom Remodeler — Showers, Tubs & Full Bathroom Remodels

Q: How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Portland?

Basic updates start at $8,000–$15,000, mid-range remodels run $15,000–$35,000, and high-end renovations reach $35,000–$60,000+.

Q: How long does a bathroom remodel take?

Basic updates take 1–2 weeks, mid-range remodels 3–6 weeks, and full renovations with layout changes 6–10 weeks.

Q: What is the best tile for a Portland bathroom?

Porcelain tile is our top recommendation — virtually waterproof, extremely durable and available in countless styles.

Q: Should I convert my tub to a walk-in shower?

If you have more than one bathroom, converting a secondary bath to a walk-in shower is a popular, high-impact upgrade. We recommend keeping at least one tub in the home for resale value.

Q: Do I need permits for a bathroom remodel in Portland?

Permits are required for plumbing, electrical and structural changes. We handle all permits and inspections.

Q: What should I look for when hiring a bathroom remodeler in Portland?

Ask what goes behind the tile. In a wet room that is the whole job — a shower with no proper waterproofing membrane will fail in about five years no matter how good the tile looks, and you won't know until the ceiling below it stains. We use Schluter Kerdi or RedGard on every shower we build. Beyond that: check the CCB license number on Oregon's CCB website, get the estimate itemized so you can compare bids line by line, and ask who handles permits and inspections. Zurc Construction is CCB #211998, licensed, bonded and insured since 2015.

Q: How much does a small bathroom remodel cost in Portland?

A small bathroom — the 5x8 or 5x7 footprint in most Portland houses built before 1970 — typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on whether the shower or tub surround is rebuilt. Less tile, fewer fixtures and less labor than a primary bath, and most finish in one to two weeks. The cost that surprises people is what's found behind the walls in an older house: original galvanized supply lines, a rotted subfloor under the tub, or no vent fan at all. We check for those before quoting.

Q: Can you remodel the bathroom and kitchen at the same time?

Yes, and it’s usually cheaper than doing them separately. One permit application, one mobilization, one crew, and the plumbing and electrical rough-in gets done in a single pass. The main thing to plan for is being without both rooms at once, so we sequence the bathroom to finish first wherever the layout allows. See our kitchen remodeling page for what that side involves.

Zurc Construction is a licensed bathroom remodeler serving Portland and the surrounding metro since 2015. We handle the whole bathroom — waterproofing, plumbing, tile, vanities, lighting, ventilation and finishes — with the attention wet spaces require in this climate. Most Portland bathroom remodels run $15,000 to $35,000. A basic update starts around $8,000; a full renovation with layout changes reaches $60,000. Small bathrooms cost less and move faster.

What It Costs

What a Bathroom Remodel Costs in Portland

Three things drive the number: whether the layout moves, whether the shower is being rebuilt from the studs, and the fixtures.

A basic update keeps everything where it is — new vanity, toilet, fixtures, paint and flooring. A mid-range remodel rebuilds the shower or tub surround with new waterproofing and retiles the room. A full renovation moves plumbing, changes the layout, or combines two spaces.

A small bathroom — the 5×8 footprint in most older Portland houses — runs at the low end of each tier, and usually finishes in half the time.

We give every client a written, line-by-line estimate before any work starts. Full breakdown in our Portland bathroom remodel cost guide.

Basic update: $8,000–$15,000
Mid-range remodel: $15,000–$35,000
High-end renovation: $35,000–$60,000+

Showers & Tubs

Walk-In Showers & Tub-to-Shower Conversions

Frameless glass walk-in showers are the #1 trend in Portland bathrooms — we build custom showers with built-in niches, bench seating and rainfall fixtures. Tub-to-shower conversion is one of our most popular, high-impact upgrades. Every shower gets Schluter Kerdi or RedGard waterproofing behind the tile, the difference between a bathroom that lasts 20 years and one that fails in five. We also do shower-only projects: shower replacement, a leaking or failing pan rebuilt from the subfloor up, and glass enclosure swaps — usually a week, start to finish.

Aging in Place

Walk-In Tubs & Accessible Bathroom Remodels

A bathroom is the room most people have to change first if they want to stay in their house. We build accessible bathrooms that don’t look institutional — curbless roll-in showers with linear drains, walk-in tubs with low thresholds and built-in seating, grab bars anchored into blocking rather than screwed into tile, comfort-height toilets, handheld shower wands, and slip-resistant flooring that still looks like a finished bathroom.

Where the layout allows, we widen the doorway to 36 inches during the remodel. It costs very little while the walls are already open and it’s the single change that matters most later.

Most accessibility conversions take one to three weeks and can be done one bathroom at a time, so the house is never without one.

Vanities & Countertops

Vanities, Countertops & Custom Tile

Floating vanities, double-sink configurations and quartz countertops. Our tile setters install large-format porcelain, natural stone and accent walls with proper waterproofing — one of the biggest bathroom trends for Portland homes in 2026, along with matte black and brushed gold fixtures.

Storage

Smart Storage Solutions

Maximize your bathroom space with intelligent storage solutions designed for Portland homes. We build custom recessed niches, floating shelves, linen closets, and medicine cabinets that keep your bathroom organized without sacrificing style. Every storage solution is tailored to the specific layout and dimensions of your bathroom, ensuring every essential has its place.

Lighting & Accessibility

Flooring, Lighting & Ventilation

Waterproof flooring with heated floor options for Portland's cool mornings, layered LED and vanity lighting, and accessibility upgrades — curbless showers, grab bars and aging-in-place features that blend seamlessly with modern design. Proper ventilation matters just as much in Oregon's wet climate — we install high-efficiency exhaust fans to prevent mold.

Our Process

What Hiring Us Actually Looks Like

Most homeowners get three bids from Portland bathroom remodelers and can’t compare them, because every contractor describes the job differently and leaves different things out.

We come out and measure, look at what’s behind the walls, and tell you what we expect to find once the tile comes off. You get a written estimate that separates demo, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical, tile, fixtures, vanity, ventilation, disposal and permits — so you can hold it next to anyone else’s.

If you hire us, you get a start date, a finish date and one phone number. A basic update is one to two weeks, a mid-range remodel three to six, a full renovation with layout changes six to ten. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections.

Service Area

Bathroom Remodeling Across the Portland Metro

We remodel bathrooms in Portland and the surrounding cities — Gresham, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Hillsboro, Tualatin, Milwaukie, West Linn, Oregon City and Happy Valley. Southeast Portland is our home ground.

Older Portland bathrooms come with their own surprises. Houses built before 1960 often have the original cast-iron drain, galvanized supply lines and no subfloor protection under the tub — things nobody can see until demo day. We check for them before we quote, so the number you get is the number you pay.
