Bathroom Plumbing Remodel Near Me
Starting price: Call for pricing
A bathroom remodel lives or dies on the plumbing behind the walls — where the drains slope, the vents run, and the supply lines land. Plumbing Services Pros handles the plumbing side of bathroom remodels: rough-in for new layouts, moving toilets, tubs, and sinks, replacing old supply and drain lines, and setting every fixture at the finish. Your contractor handles the tile; we make sure everything behind it works.
What the plumbing side of a remodel covers
Most bathroom remodels need two plumbing phases. Rough-in happens with the walls open: supply lines, drain and vent piping, and stub-outs are run to wherever the new fixtures will sit. Finish plumbing happens after tile and paint: the toilet is set, faucets and shower trim go on, and everything is connected and tested.
The rough-in is the phase you can't afford to get wrong, because it gets buried. Drain slope, trap placement, vent connections, and valve locations are all locked in before the walls close. A remodel that skips careful rough-in ends up with a beautiful bathroom and a tub that drains slowly forever.
Moving fixtures: what it really takes
Keeping fixtures where they are is the economical path — new faucets and a new toilet on the existing connections. Moving a toilet across the room, swapping a tub for a walk-in shower, or adding a second sink means rerouting drain and supply lines through floors and walls, and every new drain run needs proper slope and its own vent.
Some moves are harder than they look. A toilet needs a large drain with the right fall to the stack; if the joists run the wrong way, the route gets creative. A tub-to-shower conversion needs a new shower drain, a pressure-balancing valve, and often a reframed curb or curb-less pan. We walk the layout with you or your contractor and say plainly what's simple and what's not.
The stuff you should fix while the walls are open
- Galvanized supply lines — corroded from the inside, restricting flow; replace them now
- Old drum traps or S-traps — outdated designs that clog and siphon; modern P-traps go in
- Missing or wrong venting — the cause of gurgling drains and sewer smells in old baths
- No individual shutoffs — one valve per fixture is the modern standard
- Anti-scald protection — pressure-balancing shower valves that keep temperature steady
Opening walls is the expensive part of a remodel. Once they're open, fixing the hidden plumbing adds modest cost compared to opening them again later. This is the moment to retire everything questionable.
What affects the cost
Scope is everything. Swapping fixtures in place is a short job; moving every fixture and repiping the bathroom is a project. The number of fixtures, how far they move, and what the existing pipe is made of drive the labor.
Surprises live in old houses: corroded lines that crumble when touched, joists that block the drain route, a cast-iron stack that needs attention. Permits and inspections add to the budget too — and they're required for most plumbing changes. Call (833) 513-2401 with your plans and we'll price the plumbing side honestly.
Working with your remodel timeline
We coordinate with your general contractor or go direct with you. Rough-in happens right after framing and before insulation and drywall; finish plumbing happens near the end, after the tile is set and the vanity is in. We keep our phases tight so we're never the reason the schedule slips.

Frequently asked questions
Can I move my toilet during a remodel?
Yes, but it needs a new drain run with proper slope to the stack and correct venting, which is real work through the floor. A Plumbing Services Pros plumber can look at your layout and tell you whether the move is simple or involved before you commit.
Do I need a permit for bathroom plumbing changes?
In most cases, yes — any change to drain, supply, or vent lines needs a permit and inspection. We handle the plumbing to code and coordinate with the inspection process.
Should I replace old pipes during a remodel?
If the walls are already open and the lines are galvanized or showing corrosion, yes — it's the cheapest time you'll ever get to do it. Replacing them now prevents opening finished walls later.
What is a tub-to-shower conversion?
We remove the tub, run a new shower drain and pressure-balancing valve, and set up the plumbing for a walk-in or curbed shower. It's one of the most common remodel requests, especially for easier access.
Do you work with my general contractor?
Yes. We coordinate rough-in and finish phases around their schedule — framing, tile, and paint — so the plumbing never holds up the job.
How much does remodel plumbing cost?
It depends on how many fixtures move, how far, and what the existing pipe looks like. Fixture swaps in place are the simplest; full relocations with new drain runs are the bigger jobs. Call (833) 513-2401 with your plans for an exact quote.
