Trusted Bathroom Remodeling for Orlando Homeowners
A bathroom remodel in Orlando typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, depending on the size of the space, the materials you pick, and whether you’re reconfiguring plumbing or keeping the existing layout. That’s the honest range before you make a single call. At Sawyer Remodel Orlando, we put that price in writing before any work starts, backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise. No vague estimates. No surprises on the invoice. No contractors who disappear between visits. If you’re ready to talk numbers, call us at (850) 809-0306 and we’ll schedule a free estimate at your home in Orlando.
Luca Romano leads our Orlando team, and he’s been running remodels under The Relay Standard since 2005. That means live arrival times, photo updates before and after, and a digital invoice you pay from a link. You’ll know who’s walking into your house before they get there. Every technician is background-checked and uniformed. And when you call, a live person answers. Not a voicemail loop.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A bathroom remodeling contractor is the general contractor who manages the entire renovation: demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work. You need one when the job involves moving walls, relocating a toilet or shower valve, or anything beyond swapping out a faucet. Sawyer Remodel Orlando handles Bathroom Remodeling in Orlando and across Orange County, with written pricing before demolition starts. Most Orlando bathrooms fall in the $9,000 to $28,000 range, with smaller spaces and surface-level updates coming in lower.
What We Manage In-House
Plumbing rough-in, shower pan installation, tile work, vanity install, lighting, and exhaust fan venting all happen under our roof. We don’t sub out the critical work to whoever’s available. The same crew that starts your Orlando bathroom remodel is the crew that finishes it.
When to Call a Contractor vs. a Handyman
If you’re replacing a faucet or caulking a tub, a handyman works. If you’re tearing out a shower, moving a drain line, or building a new bathroom from scratch, you need a licensed contractor who pulls permits and schedules inspections. Sawyer Remodel Orlando handles the permitting, the inspections, and the paperwork. You handle picking the tile.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower
A walk in shower replaces the traditional tub-and-surround with a curbless or low-curb shower that you walk straight into, no stepping over a tub wall. It’s the single most-requested upgrade in Orlando bathrooms, particularly for homeowners planning to age in place. Sawyer Remodel Orlando installs walk in showers starting at $4,500 and running to $12,000 depending on tile choice, glass enclosure, and whether we’re moving the drain. The best part: we use Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor) so the transition is clean and leak-proof.
Curbless vs. Low-Curb
A curbless shower sits flush with the bathroom floor, which means we recess the subfloor to get proper slope on the drain. It’s the best option for wheelchair access or a fully open look. A low-curb shower keeps a small threshold, which costs less in labor and works in more existing layouts.
Glass, Tile, and Drain Options
Frameless glass from a local Orlando glass partner, porcelain or natural stone tile, linear drains or center drains. We walk you through the tradeoffs. A linear drain costs a bit more up front but gives you larger format tile and a cleaner floor line.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom remodeling companies range from one-truck operations with no office to regional firms with full design teams. What separates them isn’t the logo. It’s whether the price you approve is the price you pay. Sawyer Remodel Orlando sits in the middle: a local Orlando team backed by the Relay Home Co. family since 2005, with written pricing, photo updates, and a live person on the phone 24/7. Our bathroom remodels run $9,000 to $28,000, and that number lands in writing before we pick up a tool.
Why Written Pricing Matters
Most remodel horror stories start with a verbal estimate and end with a change order. We don’t work that way. The number we quote is the number you approve, and the invoice matches it. Our no-hassle upfront pricing isn’t a gimmick. It’s the only way Luca Romano has run jobs since 2005.
What to Ask Any Company Before You Sign
Ask who’s doing the work, whether they pull permits, what the warranty covers and for how long, and whether the crew is background-checked. If a company hesitates on any of those, walk. We answer all four on the first call.
Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation is a broader term than a simple remodel: it usually means improving the function of the space, not just refreshing the surfaces. That can mean adding a double vanity, improving ventilation, reworking a cramped layout, or upgrading plumbing that’s been leaking behind the walls for years. Sawyer Remodel Orlando approaches every Bathroom Remodeling in Casselberry and Orlando bathroom renovation with the same discipline: inspect first, quote in writing, then build. Full renovations run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on scope.
Layout Changes vs. Surface Updates
If the toilet, sink, and shower stay where they are, you’re doing a surface update, and the job moves faster. If we’re moving walls or relocating fixtures, that’s a layout change, which adds structural work, plumbing reroutes, and permitting time. We’ll tell you honestly which path makes sense for your space and your budget.
Ventilation and Moisture Control in Orlando
Orlando’s humidity doesn’t stop at the front door. A bathroom without proper exhaust ventilation grows mold behind the walls, and you won’t see it until it’s a big problem. We check existing vent ducts on every renovation and upgrade to properly sized exhaust fans when needed. This is the work you pay for once and never think about again.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A small bathroom remodel focuses on bathrooms roughly 40 square feet or less: guest baths, powder rooms, and condo bathrooms. In Orlando, these jobs typically run $5,000 to $12,000, and the biggest cost factors are whether you’re keeping the existing footprint and whether the shower stays a tub or converts to a walk in. Sawyer Remodel Orlando does plenty of our Bathroom Remodeling in Winter Park and small bathroom remodels in Orlando; we don’t treat them as an afterthought. The same written pricing and 365-Day Done Right Promise apply.
Maximizing Space in Tight Bathrooms
Floating vanities, corner sinks, pocket doors, and wall-mount faucets all free up floor space in a small bath. We also look at whether a tub-to-shower conversion makes the room feel twice as big. The right choices add perceived square footage without moving a single wall.
Speed Without Sacrificing Waterproofing
A small bathroom remodel doesn’t mean a fast-and-sloppy one. We still do full waterproofing on every wet area, still pull permits, still schedule inspections. The job just finishes in fewer days because there’s less square footage to tile and fewer fixtures to set.
Shower Remodel
A shower remodel replaces the existing shower pan, walls, valve, and trim, and it usually includes new tile or a prefabricated surround. You need this when the shower leaks, the grout is failing, or the pan flexes underfoot. Sawyer Remodel Orlando charges $3,000 to $8,500 for a typical shower remodel in Orlando, with the higher end including custom tile work and frameless glass. A leaking shower isn’t a cosmetic problem – it’s water damage hiding inside your walls and floor.
Pan Replacement vs. Full Tear-Out
If the shower pan is cracked or the liner has failed, we tear it all out and rebuild from the studs. If the structure is solid and you just want new tile and fixtures, that’s a faster, cheaper job. We’ll open it up and show you what we find before we recommend either path.
Valve and Trim Upgrades
Behind the wall, the shower valve is the part that fails first. While the wall is open, we replace it with a name-brand pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve from Kohler or Grohe. It’s the difference between a shower that works for five years and one that works for thirty.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A tub to shower conversion removes the existing bathtub and builds a walk in shower in its place, usually keeping the same footprint. It’s the most common upgrade in Orlando homes where the tub never gets used and the homeowner wants easier access. Sawyer Remodel Orlando completes tub to shower conversions for $3,500 to $10,000, depending on tile, glass, and whether the drain needs to be relocated. The existing drain often stays put, which keeps the price lower.
Keeping the Same Footprint
Because the shower takes the same space as the tub, we don’t move walls or reroute major plumbing in most cases. That means a tub to shower conversion is one of the fastest ways to modernize an Orlando or Goldenrod Bathroom Remodeling project without turning it into a full remodel.
Fixture and Finish Upgrades Along the Way
While the walls are open, it’s the right time to replace the old shower valve, add a niche for shampoo bottles, and install a bench. These upgrades cost a few hundred dollars more during the conversion and thousands if you wait and do them later.
One Day Bath Remodel
A one day bath remodel is a streamlined bathroom update using prefabricated shower surrounds, acrylic walls, and drop-in fixtures that install in a single day. It’s a fit when you want a functional, clean bathroom fast, without weeks of tile work. Sawyer Remodel Orlando offers one day bath remodels in Orlando within the $5,000 to $12,000 range for small bathrooms, depending on the surround system and fixture package you select.
What We Can Do in One Day
We can tear out the old tub or shower, set a new acrylic shower base, install surround walls, and set the new valve and trim. The bathroom is usable that evening. What we can’t do in one day is custom tile, which needs setting and curing time.
When One Day Makes Sense vs. Custom Tile
If the bathroom is a rental, a guest bath, or a short-term fix while you plan a bigger remodel, one day works. If it’s your primary bathroom and you’ll live with the result for ten years, custom tile and a full waterproofing system are the better investment. We’ll lay out both options with written pricing and let you choose.

AfterBrands We Service
We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry on a regular basis, and our Orlando team has built hundreds of vanities with both lines. KraftMaid gives you a huge range of door styles and finishes at a mid-market price, while Wellborn offers more made-to-order options for bathrooms that need custom sizing. Both come with manufacturer backing, so the finish and hardware are warrantied beyond our own workmanship.
For countertops, we install Cambria and Silestone quartz, both of which handle Orlando humidity without the sealing that natural stone demands. Whether you have a specific brand picked out or want us to lay out your options, we can help. If you’re comparing bathroom remodeling companies, ask whether they offer these name-brand materials or just whatever the supplier has in the warehouse.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. That’s a leak in the shower pan, the toilet flange, or a supply line, and it’s been leaking long enough to soak through the subfloor. Ignoring it turns a repair into a structural job.
- Grout that stays dark or discolored after cleaning. In Orlando’s humidity, failing grout means water is wicking into the wall cavity behind the tile. You won’t see the damage until the tile falls off or the studs rot.
- A shower pan that flexes or squeaks when you stand on it. A properly built pan is rigid. Movement means the subfloor underneath is degrading, which means a full tear-out is coming whether you schedule it or not.
- Mold on baseboards or around the tub line. Mold on the surface is a symptom of moisture behind the surface. Sprays and caulk buy you a few weeks. The only real fix is removing the wet material and rebuilding with proper waterproofing.
- Drain flies or a sewer smell that comes and goes. That’s a wax ring failure on the toilet or a cracked pipe in the wall. It’s not just an odor. It’s a health hazard, and the longer it sits, the more contaminated the surrounding material becomes.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
On-site walkthrough and written estimate. Luca Romano or a senior project lead visits your Orlando home, takes measurements, checks the plumbing, and asks how you actually use the space. You get a written price before anyone touches a tool.
- 2
Material selection. You pick tile, fixtures, vanity, and countertop from the brands we stock, with help from our team on what lasts in Orlando’s climate. Every selection gets priced into the written quote, so there’s no surprise when the materials show up.
- 3
Demolition and waterproofing. We tear out the old surfaces, inspect the studs and subfloor, and build the shower with a full Schluter waterproofing system, not just plastic sheeting and hope. This is where cheap remodels go wrong and ours doesn’t.
- 4
Rough-in and inspection. Plumbing and electrical are set to code, then the city inspector signs off. You get photo updates at this stage, so you can see the work before it disappears behind tile.
- 5
Tile, fixtures, and finish. We set the tile, install the vanity and countertop, hang the glass, and set the fixtures. Final walkthrough with you, then the 365-Day Done Right Promise begins. If something isn’t right within a year, we fix it.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Orlando?
A typical bathroom remodel in Orlando runs between $9,000 and $28,000. A small guest bath or powder room, keeping the existing layout, lands around $5,000 to $12,000. A walk in shower installation alone runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub to shower conversion falls between $3,500 and $10,000. A shower remodel by itself, without touching the rest of the bathroom, runs $3,000 to $8,500.
What moves the price: whether you keep the existing plumbing layout or move fixtures, the tile you pick (ceramic runs $3 to $8 per square foot, natural stone $10 to $25), whether you go with a prefabricated shower system or custom tile work, and whether we’re replacing the subfloor or dealing with existing water damage. In Orlando especially, older homes built before modern waterproofing standards often need extra subfloor work once we open the walls.
The easiest way to avoid overpaying is to get a written, line-item quote and compare it against another written quote. Verbal estimates don’t hold up. A written quote from Sawyer Remodel Orlando includes materials, labor, permits, and disposal, and the number doesn’t change unless you change the scope. Our free estimate covers all of this, and you’re under no obligation to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling in Orlando
Bathroom remodeling is the process of replacing or reconfiguring the surfaces, fixtures, plumbing, and electrical in a bathroom to improve function, appearance, or accessibility. In Orlando, the most common projects are tub to shower conversions, walk in shower installs, and full cosmetic overhauls. A remodel ranges from surface-level updates like new tile and a vanity to full structural changes involving moving walls and relocating plumbing.
A typical small bathroom remodel takes 7 to 14 working days from demolition to final inspection, while a full bathroom renovation with layout changes can stretch to 3 to 6 weeks. One day bath remodels are completed in a single day. Permitting and inspection scheduling in Orlando adds a few days to the timeline, and we handle all of that for you. Call (850) 809-0306 and we’ll give you a realistic schedule for your specific project.
Bathroom remodels in Orlando range from $9,000 to $28,000 for a full remodel, with small bathrooms running $5,000 to $12,000. Walk in showers run $4,500 to $12,000, and tub to shower conversions run $3,500 to $10,000. The exact number depends on materials, layout changes, and whether any water damage needs repair.

Yes, we regularly install Kohler, Moen, and Grohe fixtures, and they’re three of the primary brands we spec for Orlando bathroom remodels. We also work with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry and Cambria and Silestone countertops. If you have a specific fixture or finish in mind, we’ll price it into your written quote. If you’re buying your own fixtures, we’ll install them and note any compatibility issues before the job starts.

We’ll triage the situation on the phone and get someone to your Orlando home as soon as possible. Emergency water damage from a bathroom leak needs fast action to prevent mold in Orlando’s humidity, so don’t wait until business hours.
Every bathroom remodel from Sawyer Remodel Orlando is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right, backed in writing on every project. That’s a full year of accountability after the job closes. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures, tile, and cabinetry run separately and in addition to our workmanship guarantee. We don’t disappear after the final invoice.
Clear the path to the bathroom, remove personal items from the vanity and cabinets, and plan for the bathroom to be out of commission during the active work period. Our crew will protect the flooring in the walkway and set up dust containment at the door. If you have a second bathroom, life continues mostly normally. If you don’t, let us know during the estimate and we’ll sequence the work to minimize disruption.
