The Remodel Revealed, Part 3: The Ekon Bath Full Transformation

In the previous parts of our series, we covered the Walk-in Shower and the high-impact Facelift. Now, we dive into the most comprehensive project we undertake: The Full Bathroom Transformation.

This is the process where walls move, layouts shift, and every element...down to the studs...is optimized. This level of renovation is ideal for clients who want to completely reimagine their space, allowing for layout changes, advanced lighting design, and the integration of complex luxury features. As seen in our recent client testimonial series, this process yields life-changing results.


Phase 1: Wall Re-Layout and Rough-In

This phase is where we unlock the potential of your space, often involving the most complex structural work.

  • Surgical Demolition & Debris Management: We meticulously implement extensive floor protection and utilize HEPA vacuum filtration to control dust migration. Demolition is surgical: we remove existing fixtures, flooring, and even demolish internal dividing walls to create the open, seamless floor plan you desire. All waste is managed via a dedicated on-site trailer.
  • Framing & New Layout: We frame all new walls according to the design requirements. We modify the entrances to accommodate door openings for maximum accessibility.
  • Plumbing & Electrical Rerouting: We execute a complete rough-in, rerouting all drain and water supply lines to new locations for the vanity, soaker tub, and toilet. Electrical rough-in includes wiring for new LED can lights (including wet-rated shower lights) and integrating dedicated power for accessories (ex. Heated Towel Rack, Heated Floors, Additional Outlets, etc).


Phase 2: The Foundation of Finish

With the new structure complete, we build the perfect, protected foundation for your luxury finishes.

  • Drywall & Texture: We install new 1/2-inch moisture-resistant drywall on all new walls and in areas affected by demolition. This is followed by professional taping, bedding, and finishing to a texture finish of your choosing, ensuring seamless walls ready for paint.
  • Ventilation & Comfort: We install the new heater/light/vent combo, carefully ensuring it is rated for the proper CFM, optimizing airflow and comfort.
  • Waterproofing Integrity: We apply our comprehensive waterproofing system to all wet areas, creating the sealed, professional barrier that guarantees the longevity and leak-proof nature of your new walk-in shower and floor space(per design requirements).


Phase 3: Finish Installation & Final Details

This is the high-impact phase where all the custom selections come together to create your masterpiece.

  • Cabinetry Installation: We install your new custom vanity, all featuring soft-closing doors and drawers.
  • Walk-in Shower System: We install will your Custom Tile or Single Panel Shower system, including the shower base, wall panels, niches, and integrated grab bars. We install your high-end shower plumbing fixtures, such as, wall-mounted shower-head, rain shower heads, steam generators, and body sprayers.
  • Flooring & Baseboard: We prefer to install large-format porcelain tile on the master bathroom floor with tight grout spacing for a sleek and low-maintenance experience. New baseboards are installed to match your existing home profile(Or Design Requirements).
  • Paint & Lighting: All bathroom walls and ceilings are primed and painted (Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore). We install all new light fixtures, including can lights and specialty vanity lighting.
  • Hardware & Fixtures: We install all final vanity faucets, mirrors, toilet, and accessory hardware (towel rods, toilet paper holders), completing the functional elegance of the space.


The Ekon Bath Full Transformation is a commitment. It typically requires 10 to 15 days of focused work, but it delivers an entirely new space that is precisely designed for your life, your style, and your long-term comfort. Trust Ekon Bath to handle the complexity and deliver a seamless, first-class experience from the ground up.
