Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Highland
Bathroom remodeling in Highland usually costs between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full project, and a small bathroom remodel typically lands between $5,000 and $12,000. The work commonly uncovers subfloor rot or foundation movement in older homes, which can add framing work before tiling begins. Mason Remodeling gives you a written price before any work starts, introduces you to every crew member by name and photo, and backs the finished project for 365 days. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule your free estimate.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Highland’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Highland has a mix of mid-century homes along Baseline Street, newer developments near the East Highlands Ranch area, and older homes in the Core neighborhood around Central Avenue. That range means every bathroom we open up tells a different story. Some have original cast iron plumbing; others have slab floors with hidden drainage runs. We plan for that variation before we ever swing a hammer.
Every Mason Remodeling crew member is identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. You get a name and photo before the visit, and a photo ID badge at the door. That matters when you are home alone or have kids in the house. It is not a formality; it is how we do business, and it has been since 2004.
Isaac Pruett leads our team, and his name goes on every written quote and every completed project. If a repair or installation fails within a year, we return and make it right at no cost. That is the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it is stated in plain language on every contract.

Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Highland
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Highland range from single-truck handyman operations to full design-build firms, and the difference shows up in permits, change orders, and what happens when something goes wrong six months later. A legitimate company pulls permits through the City of Highland, writes a fixed price, and carries insurance that covers workers on your property. A full bathroom remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000, and if a company quotes far below that, ask what is excluded.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
This is a complete tear-out and rebuild: plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finishes. In Highland, full remodels often reveal framing trouble once the old tub is removed. We write the scope with a contingency plan so you are never surprised at the final invoice.
Walk-In Showers and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Walk-in shower installation in Highland runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion falls between $3,500 and $10,000. The conversion is the single most popular request we get from Highland homeowners who want to age in place without selling. We handle the drain relocation, waterproofing, and glass enclosure so the opening is safe and the threshold is low.
Bathroom Renovation in Highland
Bathroom Renovation in Highland typically means keeping the existing footprint but replacing worn or dated surfaces: floor tile, shower surround, vanity, lighting, and paint. The cost runs low-mid five figures depending on material grade. Where remodeling changes the layout, renovation works within existing walls, which usually keeps the permit process simpler and the timeline shorter.
Vanities, Tile, and Fixtures
Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Highland, and that assumes existing plumbing lines up. If you want a double-sink where a single-sink vanity sits, the drain and supply lines need moving, which pushes the cost toward the upper end. We use KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and Cambria or Silestone surfaces when specified.
Small Bathroom Remodels
A small Highland bathroom, often a hallway bath or a guest bath under 50 square feet, runs $5,000 to $12,000. These jobs move fast because the footprint is fixed and the tile area is modest. What changes the price most is whether the existing subfloor survives demolition or needs partial replacement.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
Mason Remodeling works with specification-grade materials across cabinetry, tile, and fixtures. Highland homeowners regularly select KraftMaid vanities, Kohler shower systems, and Moen faucets through us because the product is vetted and the warranty is real. We do not install big-box clearance fixtures that fail in three years. If a homeowner asks about modular or panelized options, we can discuss prefabricated systems from companies like Cover or Dvele where they fit a project, but most Highland bathrooms are stick-built remodels in existing homes. Every material is ordered to the specific job, delivered to your home, and inspected before installation begins.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Subfloor rot hidden under old vinyl or tile. Highland’s clay-heavy soil shifts with moisture cycles, and slab-on-grade homes built before 1980 often show hairline cracks that let groundwater wick into framing. The rot is invisible until the floor comes up.
- Cast iron waste lines at the end of their life. Many homes along Baseline and around the Pacific area still have original cast iron. If the wax ring is leaking or the stack is rusted through, any bathroom job should address it while the floor is open.
- Unpermitted previous work. Highland has a long history of weekend DIY tub swaps and sink moves. When we pull a permit, the inspector may flag that work, and we have to bring it up to code before finishing your project.
- Tight access for slab plumbing. Bathrooms on slab foundations often require cutting the concrete to move a drain line for a walk-in shower. That adds 1 to 3 days and a few thousand dollars, and it is better planned for than discovered mid-job.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Highland
Yes, most bathroom remodels in Highland need a permit from the City of Highland, especially if plumbing fixtures move or the project reaches beyond surface finishes. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure the final sign-off happens before you pay the last invoice. Call (803) 680-2547 and we will tell you whether your specific project triggers a permit.
A typical full bathroom remodel in Highland takes 3 to 6 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, with smaller renovations running 2 to 3 weeks. Permit intake and inspection scheduling add a few days, and we build that into the calendar up front so you are not watching an empty bathroom for an extra week. We do not promise same-day or emergency turnaround on planned work; good tile setting and proper waterproofing simply take time.
Bathroom remodeling in Highland runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full project, with small bathrooms at $5,000 to $12,000. The spread accounts for material grade, floor condition, and whether you change the layout. A written quote from us lists every line item before work starts, so the number you sign is the number you pay unless you approve a change in writing.
Look for a written price before work begins, proof of insurance, a permit pulled in the homeowner’s name, and a written warranty that says exactly what is covered and for how long. Mason Remodeling delivers all four on every Highland project, and every crew member is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard. Isaac Pruett signs the quote, and the team on site carries photo ID.
