Remove an unused bathtub and replace it with a custom tile walk-in shower. Includes frameless glass, niche shelf, and your choice of shower system. A popular upgrade for Twin Cities homeowners 50+.

What Drives Bathroom Remodel Costs in Minneapolis?
Bathroom remodeling costs in the Twin Cities are influenced by several key factors. Bathroom size is the biggest driver — a 50 sq ft hall bath costs far less than a 120 sq ft master suite. Material selections can swing a budget dramatically: standard porcelain tile runs $3–$8 per square foot while natural stone can reach $20+ per square foot. Labor costs in Minneapolis have risen with demand, averaging $60–$100 per hour for licensed tradespeople. Plumbing and electrical scope matter most — keeping fixtures in their existing locations saves thousands compared to moving drain lines. Finally, permit requirements add $100–$300 and 1–2 weeks for city approval but protect your investment and ensure code compliance.

Bathroom Remodel Timeline: How Long Will It Take?
One of the most common questions Minneapolis homeowners ask is how long their bathroom will be out of service. Below is our typical schedule — though every project is unique, and we provide a detailed written timeline before work begins.
Cosmetic Refresh
1–2 WeeksPaint, new vanity top, fixtures, mirror, lighting, and accessories. No structural or plumbing changes. Minimal disruption.
Standard Full Remodel
2–4 WeeksFull tile replacement, new vanity, toilet, shower or tub, and lighting. Includes permit time for any plumbing or electrical work.
Full Gut Renovation
4–6 WeeksComplete demolition and rebuild. Custom tile work, new plumbing rough-in, electrical, heated floors if specified. Permits required.
Master Bath Addition
6–10 WeeksExpanding into adjacent space or adding a new bathroom. Includes structural work, framing, plumbing, electrical, and all finishes.
Note on material lead times: Custom tile, specialty vanities, and some plumbing fixtures can have lead times of 2–8 weeks. We recommend selecting materials before demolition begins to avoid delays. Our team will flag any long-lead items during your design consultation.
Minnesota Permit Requirements for Bathroom Remodels

Permit Process, Cost & Timeline in Minneapolis
Bathroom permits in Minneapolis are filed with the City of Minneapolis Department of Regulatory Services. Permit fees typically run $100–$300 for a standard bathroom remodel, depending on the scope and valuation of the work. Minneapolis processes most residential permits in 1–2 weeks, though complex projects involving structural changes may take longer.
Suburban municipalities have their own permit offices — Edina, Plymouth, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, and other Twin Cities suburbs each have slightly different requirements and fee schedules, though most follow Minnesota State Building Code closely.
Minneapolis Kitchen & Bath handles all permit applications for you — we prepare the application, submit it to the correct municipality, coordinate inspections, and ensure your project receives its final sign-off. You never have to visit a permit office.

Recent Bathroom Remodeling Projects in the Twin Cities
Every bathroom tells a story. Here are three recent projects that show the range of work we do across the Minneapolis metro.
Kari & Tom's Hall Bath
1970s ranch-style home
This 1970s ranch had an original hall bath with a pink tub, builder-grade tile, and a single-sink vanity that had seen better days. Kari and Tom wanted a clean, modern bathroom without a bathtub — their kids were grown and the tub had not been used in years. We removed the old tub, waterproofed and tiled a 36x48 walk-in shower with a large-format matte gray porcelain tile, installed a frameless glass enclosure, and replaced the old vanity with a 48-inch floating vanity in white oak with a quartz top. New LED lighting, a large mirror, and matte black fixtures completed the transformation.

The Hendersons' Master Bathroom
Luxury spa bathroom renovation
The Hendersons had a dated master bath in their Edina colonial and wanted a luxury spa retreat. We gutted the entire space, expanded the layout into an adjacent closet to add square footage, and built out a wet room with a freestanding soaking tub and a 60x36 walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling marble-look porcelain, a linear drain, and a rain head with body jets. Schluter electric heated flooring covers every inch of the floor. A custom double floating vanity with integrated lighting mirrors, a separate water closet, and a backlit mirror complete this transformation that their friends now refer to as "the hotel."

Alex's Bungalow Bath
1920s bungalow bathroom renovation
Alex's Northeast Minneapolis bungalow had a charming 1920s bathroom — which also meant 45 square feet, original cast-iron pipes, and zero storage. Our challenge was to make the most of a tiny footprint while modernizing everything. We replaced the clawfoot tub with a compact tiled walk-in shower, installed a wall-mounted floating vanity (which visually opens up the floor space), added a large-format tile floor in a herringbone pattern, and built recessed niche shelving into the wall to maximize storage without taking up floor space. The result feels twice as large as the original — and Alex finally has a bathroom he is proud to show off.
