Bathroom Remodeling in Greeley, CO

Greeley's One-Contractor Bathroom Remodel

Bathrooms are the smallest room in the house and the most complicated to remodel. Plumbing reroutes, electrical circuits, exhaust ventilation, tile waterproofing, vanity install, custom shower glass, and finished paint all have to land in a 40-to-100 square foot space — and the cost of getting the waterproofing wrong shows up as a ceiling stain in the room below.

GIMA Renovation handles every phase of a Greeley bathroom remodel under one contract. Design, demo, plumbing reroutes, electrical work, tile and waterproofing, vanity install, custom shower glass, paint, and final fixtures are all delivered by the same team, on one written line-item scope, with one project manager you actually talk to. We're a family-owned Greeley contractor serving Evans, Windsor, Fort Collins, Loveland, and the rest of Northern Colorado.

Bathroom Remodeling Services We Offer in Greeley

What Does a Greeley Bathroom Remodel Cost in 2026?

Most local pages skip the cost question. We'll answer it directly, using documented Greeley-market data and our own project history. Your actual estimate depends on bathroom size, tile selection, shower specification, vanity tier, and how much plumbing has to move — but here's the realistic range for Greeley, Evans, Windsor, and surrounding Weld County homes in 2026:

• Partial refresh — $2,500 to $6,500. Paint, hardware, new vanity, new toilet, new light fixtures, possibly a fresh tile floor. Existing footprint, no plumbing moved. Construction: 1 to 2 weeks.
• Small bathroom full remodel — $7,000 to $15,000. New vanity, toilet, tile floor, tub or shower surround, lighting, and exhaust fan in a hall or guest bath. Same footprint. Construction: 2 to 3 weeks.
• Mid-range remodel — $14,000 to $30,000. Walk-in shower with custom tile, new vanity and quartz counter, new floor tile, updated lighting, often a new layout. Construction: 3 to 5 weeks.
• Master bath / large remodel — $19,000 to $41,000+. Full gut, custom tile shower, freestanding soaking tub, double vanity, layout changes, premium fixtures. Construction: 5 to 8 weeks.
• Tub-to-shower conversion (standalone) — $4,000 to $12,000. Remove tub, reroute drain if needed, waterproof, tile a full walk-in shower, install glass. Construction: 7 to 14 days.

Every estimate we send is a written, line-item scope — demo, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, vanity, glass, and paint each carry their own line so you can see exactly what each dollar is doing. No change-order ambushes after demo.

Walk-In Showers & Tub-to-Shower Conversions in Greeley

The two most-requested projects we run in Greeley bathrooms are walk-in shower installs and tub-to-shower conversions — usually because the second bathroom in the house still has the original 1970s, '80s, or '90s tub-shower combo and nobody in the family actually takes baths anymore.

What “just swap the tub for a shower” usually involves:

• Removing the old tub, surround, valve, and (often) the dated wall tile down to the studs.
• Inspecting the subfloor for hidden water damage and rot — common in Greeley homes where the old tub leaked for years before anyone noticed.
• Relocating the shower drain from the tub's outboard location to the new shower's center or linear-drain location (adds $500 to $1,500 depending on floor framing access).
• Installing a new mixing valve and rough-in plumbing to current code.
• Building a sloped mortar bed (or pre-formed shower pan) with a full waterproof membrane — Schluter Kerdi or Wedi — that wraps up the walls 3 to 6 feet.
• Setting tile on a properly waterproofed substrate, sealing grout, and templating glass once tile is set.

Done right, a tub-to-shower conversion lasts 25 to 30+ years. Done wrong — usually because someone skipped the waterproofing membrane and tiled directly to drywall or cement board — it leaks into the wall cavity within 12 to 24 months and the rebuild ends up costing more than the original conversion did.

Our 6-Step Bathroom Remodel Process

Every Greeley bathroom we remodel follows the same documented process, so you know what's next and what it costs at each phase.

1. On-site consultation & measure. We visit, measure every surface, photograph existing conditions, and identify plumbing, electrical, and structural constraints. We talk through how you use the bathroom now and what you want different.
2. Design & written scope. Layout drawings, tile and fixture selections, vanity plan, shower spec, lighting plan, and a written line-item estimate. You see every number before you sign.
3. Permits, orders & pre-construction. We pull City of Greeley or Weld County permits if required, order tile, fixtures, vanity, and shower glass templating slots. We don't start demo until all the long-lead items have a confirmed delivery date.
4. Demo & rough-in. Old fixtures, tub, vanity, and tile come out. Plumbing and electrical are rerouted. Rough inspection is passed.
5. Waterproofing, tile & finishes. Schluter or Wedi membrane goes in. Tile is set, grouted, and sealed. Vanity is installed and plumbed. Lighting, exhaust fan, mirrors, and trim go in.
6. Glass, fixtures & final walkthrough. Custom shower glass is templated, fabricated, and installed. Final fixtures are set, the punch-list is closed, final inspection is passed, and you have a finished bathroom you can use that night.

Master Bath, Hall Bath, Powder Room — Each One's Different

Bathrooms are not interchangeable. We scope each one differently:

• Master bathrooms are the highest-spend, longest-timeline remodels — often with double vanities, separate shower and tub, custom tile, and the largest tile floor. 5 to 8 weeks of construction is normal.
• Hall and guest bathrooms are usually a 3-piece (tub-shower combo, vanity, toilet) and are the most common candidate for a tub-to-shower conversion. 2 to 4 weeks of construction.
• Powder rooms are half-baths with no shower or tub. They're the fastest, lowest-cost remodel in the house — usually just a new vanity, toilet, tile floor, lighting, and paint. 1 to 2 weeks.
• Basement and jack-and-jill bathrooms often need plumbing reroutes that other bathrooms don't. We scope those carefully on the walkthrough.

Accessible & Aging-in-Place Bathroom Remodels

Greeley has a growing 60+ population and a lot of multi-generational households. Roughly a quarter of our bathroom remodels now include at least some aging-in-place specs. The standard package includes:

• Curbless walk-in shower with a linear drain and gentle slope — no lip to step over.
• Wall blocking for future grab bars at the toilet and inside the shower (even if you don't install bars now, the blocking is there for later).
• Comfort-height (ADA) toilet — 17 to 19 inches from floor to seat.
• Wider 36-inch doorway for walker or wheelchair access.
• Lever-handle faucets and easy-grip cabinet hardware.
• Anti-slip tile or honed/textured large-format porcelain on the shower floor.
• 60-inch turning radius in the open floor area for wheelchair maneuverability.

Permits for Bathroom Remodels in Greeley & Weld County

Whether your bathroom remodel needs a permit depends on scope, not budget. Here's the general rule for bathrooms inside Greeley city limits and Weld County:

• Usually no permit: swapping the vanity, toilet, faucet, light fixture, exhaust fan, mirror, and tile inside the existing footprint with no plumbing moved.
• Permit required: moving the shower drain, toilet flange, or vanity supply lines, adding new circuits, installing a new exhaust fan that vents differently, or changing the bathroom footprint.
• Structural permit: removing or adding walls, expanding the bathroom into an adjacent closet or hallway, or adding a window.

We pull every required permit as part of the scope, schedule rough and final inspections, and hand you the closed permit at completion. You never deal with the building department directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Greeley, CO?

Most Greeley bathroom remodels fall into four tiers: partial refresh $2.5k–$6.5k, small full remodel $7k–$15k, mid-range $14k–$30k, and master bath / large remodel $19k–$41k+. A standalone tub-to-shower conversion runs $4k–$12k. Cost scales with bathroom size, tile selection, shower spec, vanity tier, and how much plumbing has to move.

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Greeley?

Construction usually runs 2 to 8 weeks. A cosmetic refresh wraps in 1 to 2 weeks; a small or hall bath takes 2 to 3 weeks; a mid-range remodel runs 3 to 5 weeks; a master bath gut renovation runs 5 to 8 weeks of construction plus another 2 to 4 weeks of design and permits. Custom shower glass templating and vanity lead time are the most common bottlenecks.

How much does a tub-to-shower conversion cost in Greeley?

Most run $4,000 to $12,000. Basic with porcelain tile and a framed glass door: $4k–$7k. Premium with large-format tile, linear drain, frameless glass, and a built-in bench: $8k–$15k. Drain relocation adds $500–$1,500. Proper Schluter or Wedi waterproofing is included on every conversion we do — never optional.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Greeley or Weld County?

Cosmetic swaps in the existing footprint usually don't need a permit. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, changing the exhaust-fan vent run, or modifying walls does require a permit. We pull every required permit, schedule inspections, and hand you the closed permit at completion.

Can I stay in my home during a bathroom remodel?

Yes — most homeowners do. With a second bathroom available, you'll barely notice the work. If we're remodeling your only bathroom, we minimize the down-time window to 3 to 7 days and warn you up front so you can plan around it.

What's the difference between a walk-in shower and a tub-to-shower conversion?

A walk-in shower is the finished result — a tiled shower stall, often curbless. A tub-to-shower conversion is the project type: removing an old tub-shower combo and building a walk-in shower in its place. You can also build a walk-in shower in a new layout without converting a tub.

Can I make my bathroom accessible or aging-in-place?

Yes. The standard package: curbless walk-in shower with linear drain, grab-bar blocking, comfort-height toilet, 36-inch doorway, anti-slip tile, lever faucets, and a 60-inch turning radius. We can design any remodel to full ADA standards or to less-formal aging-in-place specs.
