Builder-grade primary baths from Frisco's 2000s building wave, rebuilt with real tile, proper waterproofing and a price you see before demo.
Frisco has some of the newest housing stock in the country, and that is exactly why its bathrooms are due. The homes that went up across Starwood, Stonebriar, Phillips Creek Ranch and the older streets of Plantation Resort and The Trails between the late 1990s and the late 2000s came with the same primary bath: a garden tub that never gets used, a small tile shower beside it, cultured-marble tops and builder-grade trim. Twenty years on, the grout is tired, the glass is cloudy, and the layout wastes the biggest room in the house.
We rebuild those rooms for Frisco homeowners from our shop in Plano, about fifteen minutes down the tollway. The most requested job here is the tub-to-shower conversion: pull the garden tub, close the deck, and build a walk-in tile shower with a bench where the tub used to sit.
Most of the homes we work in were built between 1998 and 2010 by production builders, so the bones are good and the finishes are the problem. Garden-tub decks eat floor space, showers were sized to the minimum, and the surrounds are cultured marble or four-inch tile on drywall. The fix is usually not a bigger room. It is a smarter one: a walk-in shower where the tub sat, a proper niche and bench, a double vanity in the same footprint, and tile that runs floor to ceiling. In the newer neighborhoods off Panther Creek and Eldorado the finish level is higher, and those clients tend to ask for large-format porcelain, frameless glass and heated floors.
The City of Frisco requires a permit for any alteration, removal or replacement of plumbing, electrical or mechanical work. Replacing tile, a vanity or fixtures in the same location without moving plumbing or wiring is treated as cosmetic. A tub-to-shower conversion changes the drain and valve, so it gets a plumbing permit and inspections, and the city offers self-service permits for smaller like-for-like electrical and plumbing replacements. We apply, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector. Frisco HOAs govern exteriors, not bathrooms, so no architectural approval is needed for interior work.
Audie quotes the job, runs the job and does the final walkthrough. One written number covers labor and materials, the style board shows every tile and fixture before we order, and glass is measured after the tile is set so it fits the opening instead of the drawing. We photograph the work, and the Frisco photos on this page are from real client bathrooms.
Recent Frisco work includes a full bathroom update in the spring of 2026 and a primary bath refresh that summer. The photos here are from real Frisco client bathrooms.
In Frisco, a new tile shower or a tub and shower wall-tile replacement starts around $8,500 with us, and a tub-to-shower conversion starts around $10,000. Those numbers are labor and materials. Adding a vanity, new fixtures, floors, or structure like a pony wall moves the number up, and we put the full price in writing before any demo.
Full primary bath remodels are quoted per project after a walkthrough. Once a vanity, fixtures, floors, lighting and any layout change are on the list, most land well above the starting points here, and published DFW guides put a mid-range full remodel roughly between $15,000 and $30,000. Yours depends on the room, the tile, and how much plumbing moves.

If the work replaces or moves plumbing or electrical, yes. Frisco requires permits for any alteration, removal or replacement of plumbing, electrical or mechanical systems, which covers a tub-to-shower conversion or a new circuit for a heated floor. New tile, a vanity or fixtures in the same spot are cosmetic and usually do not need one. We confirm with the city on every job and pull what is required.
Ours start around $10,000 for labor and materials: tub out, drain reworked, a waterproofed walk-in pan, tile, glass and fixtures. A bench, a niche, large-format tile or frameless glass move the number up, and we put the total in writing before demo.
All of Frisco, from the established streets of Plantation Resort, The Trails and Stonebriar to Starwood, Phillips Creek Ranch and the newer neighborhoods north of Eldorado. We are based in Plano, so Frisco is a short drive for the walkthrough and for the crew every day of the job.
Two to three weeks for a shower rebuild or a conversion, three to five for a full primary bath. The shower is unusable from demo until the glass goes in, and glass is measured after tile, so plan on the last week being the wait for glass.
