Plano's 1980s and 90s bathrooms, garden tubs and all, rebuilt by the Plano crew that lives here and shows up every day of the job.
Plano is home for us, and it is where most of our bathroom work happens. The median Plano home was built around 1987, which means a huge share of the city's primary baths still have the original layout: a raised garden tub under a window, a cramped shower with a pony wall between them, cultured-marble vanity tops, brass trim and four-inch tile. East and Central Plano, from Hunters Glen and Deerfield to the streets around Russell Creek, are full of them. West Plano's newer homes around Willow Bend and Kings Gate skipped the brass but kept the same oversized tub deck.
We take those rooms down to the studs and rebuild them for the way people actually use a bathroom now: a walk-in tile shower with a bench, a double vanity, real tile floors and lighting that does not buzz. Our shop is on West Parker Road, so the walkthrough is easy to schedule and the crew is never far.
The most common Plano job is the same one over and over: remove the garden tub and its deck, take out the pony wall, and use the whole corner for a walk-in shower with a bench, a niche and glass. The vanity gets a new top and faucets or becomes a double, the floor becomes tile, and the fan finally gets its own switch. In 1970s and early 80s homes we also find cast-iron tubs, galvanized supply lines and soft subfloor around the tub, so the walkthrough includes a look at what is under and behind the room before we quote it.
The City of Plano requires permits for structural, electrical, plumbing and HVAC changes and for major remodels. A bathroom remodel that changes the location of the toilet, sink or tub needs plumbing and building permits with inspections; purely cosmetic work like new tile, paint or a vanity in the same spot generally does not. Plano Building Inspections reviews the work against the adopted plumbing and electrical codes. We handle the application and schedule the inspections around the tile so the job does not stall.
Audie Builds is a Plano business, not a franchise with a Plano landing page. The owner measures the room, writes the one number that covers labor and materials, and is on site through the final walkthrough. The Plano photos on this page are from real client bathrooms, including a three-phase primary bath we rebuilt shower first, then vanity, on the client's schedule.
Recent Plano work includes a primary bath rebuilt in phases in 2026, the shower in August and the vanity in September. The photos here are from real Plano client bathrooms.
In Plano, 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.

Plano requires permits for plumbing, electrical, structural and HVAC changes. Moving the toilet, sink or tub, or converting a tub to a shower, triggers plumbing and building permits with inspections. New tile, a vanity or fixtures in the same location are treated as cosmetic. We confirm with Plano Building Inspections on every job and pull whatever is required.

Yes, and we do it often. Homes from the 1970s and early 80s in Hunters Glen, Deerfield and the neighborhoods around Russell Creek sometimes have cast-iron tubs, galvanized supply lines and soft subfloor around the tub. We look for all of that at the walkthrough and price it into the quote rather than surprising you at demo.
All of Plano. Our shop is on West Parker Road, and we work from East Plano's established neighborhoods to the West Plano estates around Willow Bend, Kings Gate and Normandy Estates.
