Bathroom Remodelingin Bothell.
Almost every Bothell primary bath we open has the same thing in it: a corner garden tub nobody has used in a decade, next to a shower too small to enjoy.

Bathroom Remodeling for Bothell homes
It was the signature move of the era. A large jetted or garden tub takes the best corner of the room, a cramped neo-angle shower sits beside it, and a long cultured-marble vanity runs down the opposite wall under a strip of bulb lighting. The square footage is generous; the way it is spent is not.
The remodel that transforms these is usually the same: the tub goes, and the space it held becomes a proper tiled shower with a bench, a niche and frameless glass. That single move buys back the room without touching a wall. Where the budget allows, the vanity becomes two sinks in real cabinetry and the floor gets heat — which is worth more here than it sounds, on tile over an unheated crawl or garage.
Hall and guest baths in these houses are the opposite problem: small, in a tight footprint, and usually sharing a wet wall with the primary. Those are refresh projects rather than reconfigurations, and they go quickly. The advantage throughout is modern supply plumbing, so what we find behind the tile is rarely a surprise.
Permits for Bothell projects run through City of Bothell Community Development, and we handle the filing and inspections as part of the job. For the full picture on how we approach this work, see our bathroom remodeling page — and for everything we build locally, our Bothell contractor page.

Bothell questions
- What does a bathroom remodel cost in Bothell?
- A hall or guest bath typically runs $20,000–$35,000, a full primary gut $35,000–$60,000, and a larger primary suite $60,000–$90,000. Bothell sits below Bellevue on comparable work, mostly on finish level rather than on labour.
- Should I replace the garden tub with a shower?
- If nobody uses it, yes — it is the highest-impact change available in these bathrooms. The footprint it occupies converts into a genuinely large tiled shower without moving a wall. The one caution is resale: keep a tub somewhere in the house, which the hall bath usually provides.
- Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Bothell?
- Finishes-only work often does not. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, altering the fan or changing the layout does, and the waterproofing on a tiled shower is inspected. We pull the permit through City of Bothell Community Development as part of the job.
- How long will I be without the bathroom?
- Four to seven weeks for a full primary remodel. Tiled showers carry the longest stretch because the waterproofing has to cure and pass inspection before tile, and frameless glass is measured after the tile is set — adding two to three weeks of lead time at the end.
