Plumbing · Bath and kitchen

Half bath or powder room refresh

A half bath brought up to date without taking the room back to studs. Toilet, vanity, tap, light and paint.

Call (435) 850-0053Ask for a visit

One flat fee to find out what is wrong. You are told it on the phone before anyone is dispatched, and it comes off the job if you hire us. Read our Plain Terms

A finished bathroom with a tiled tub surround and a double vanity
A finished bath. Southern California.

What the work is

A powder room has no shower and no tub, so there is no waterproofing system and no tiled wet area. That makes it the cheapest room in the house to change and the one most likely to be worth doing before you sell or before family visit.

Where the plumbing stays where it is, this is a short job. Where it moves, it stops being a refresh and we will tell you that at the quote rather than at the invoice.

What is included

  • Removing the old toilet and vanity
  • New toilet, new vanity, tap and drain
  • New angle stops and supply lines
  • Sealing, caulking and making good around the new units
  • Disposal of everything removed

What is not

  • Moving the drain or the supply, which changes the job
  • Tiling or flooring beyond making good
  • Electrical, which is our licensed electrical partner's
  • Structural or wall changes

Worth considering while it is open

  • A comfort-height toilet costs the same to install and is easier for everyone to use.
  • If the room is the one guests use, the tap is the thing they touch. Hard water is unkind to cheap cartridges.

What to ask anyone quoting this, us included

  • Does the plumbing move, or stay?
  • Are new stops and supplies included?
  • What is the allowance for the vanity and the tap?

What we can show you in writing

Every line traces to a document we read in full. The number after a sentence points to the research below.

  • A half bath with no tub or shower is scheduled work. Fixture swaps, a slow drain, low pressure at one fixture — none of it needs an after-hours call.1
  • In the Battelle testing, faucet strainers were nearly completely plugged after 19 equivalent days on unsoftened water. A new faucet in a powder room meets the same water.2
  • St. George water carries 118 to 936 ppm of dissolved solids. A stop valve that has not been turned in years can seize, or the stem packing can fail the moment it moves.1
