Bathroom Remodeling in Lynn, MA
Tile showers, glass doors, vanities and fixtures, with the plumbing and electrical done right behind the walls.
Bathrooms in older Lynn homes are usually small and packed with plumbing, which makes them one of the most technical rooms to remodel. There is very little room to hide a mistake, and every fixture has a supply line, a drain and a vent behind it.
The bathroom in the hero photo is a good picture of what we build: floor-to-ceiling tile, a framed glass shower door with brushed gold hardware, a lighted mirror and a matching vanity. The finish is what you see, but most of the work sits behind the tile.
Because we handle tile, plumbing, electrical and framing ourselves, a full bathroom rebuild stays with one crew from the first demo to the last caulk line.
Signs your bathroom needs more than a patch
- Soft or spongy floor near the tub or toilet
- Grout that keeps cracking, or tile that sounds hollow when tapped
- Musty smells or stains on the ceiling of the room below
- A tub or shower that no longer fits how you use the space
- Only one outlet, or none that are GFCI protected
- Fixtures and finishes that are older than you would like
Bathroom remodel, step by step
- Plan the room. We measure, look at where the drain and stack run, and decide what is staying and what is moving.
- Demo and inspect. Old tile, tub and fixtures come out. Anything rotted or damaged in the framing or subfloor gets repaired right then.
- Rough plumbing, electrical and framing. New valve, drain, wiring, fan and any wall or niche framing go in while the room is open.
- Waterproof and tile. The shower is waterproofed and tested, then walls and floor are tiled and grouted.
- Fixtures and glass. Vanity, toilet, faucet, shower head, mirror and glass door are set and adjusted last.
What changes the price of a bathroom remodel
Size matters less than you would think. These are the items that separate one bathroom quote from another:
- Tub-to-shower conversion versus a like-for-like swap
- Tile size and pattern, since large-format and detailed layouts take more cutting and time
- Custom glass versus a standard shower door or curtain
- Moving the toilet, sink or shower drain from its current spot
- Hidden damage found in the floor framing once the old tile comes off
- Fixture grade, mirror lighting and any added exhaust fan or heated floor
Why Kenia Construction for your bathroom
Tile setters, plumbers and electricians rarely show up on the same day when you hire them separately. One crew that covers all of it keeps the room from sitting half-finished.
If we open a wall and find rot or old plumbing that has to be dealt with, you see it and hear the options before the tile goes on and covers it for good.

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
Can you convert my tub into a walk-in tile shower?
Yes, this is one of the most common bathroom changes. It means removing the tub, setting a new shower pan with the drain in the right place, waterproofing the walls, and then tiling. The pan and waterproofing are the part you never see and the part that decides whether the shower lasts.
What is the difference between a shower pan and a tiled shower floor?
A pre-formed pan is a solid base, often acrylic or solid surface, that sits under the walls and drains straight into the plumbing. A tiled floor is built up from sloped mortar over a waterproof membrane. Pans are quicker to install; tiled floors allow custom sizes and shapes.
How do you keep a new bathroom from leaking behind the tile?
Waterproofing is done before any tile goes on: a membrane or backer system on the walls and floor, sealed at every seam and corner, with the valve and niche openings handled carefully. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own, so this hidden layer matters more than the finish.
Can the vanity and toilet stay in the same place?
Keeping fixtures where they are saves real money because the drain and supply lines stay put. If a better layout needs a fixture to move, we check the floor framing and where the stack runs before promising it.
Do you handle the electrical for the mirror lights and fan?
Yes. Wet-area outlets need GFCI protection, and lighted mirrors and exhaust fans often need their own circuit or a new switch location. We plan those while the wall is open so nothing has to be cut into finished tile later.
