Small Bathroom Remodel

Why Small Bathrooms Need a Specialized Design Approach

Best Construction Brands specializes in remodeling the traditional 5×9 bathroom, the hall bath found in homes all over Colorado. It usually has a 60-inch tub and shower across the back wall, with the toilet and vanity sharing the long wall. At about 45 square feet, there’s no room for wasted space, so every inch has to work.

We have remodeled bathrooms across the Front Range for more than 13 years, we are BBB A+ accredited, and our team includes CAPS-certified (Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist) remodelers. We know this room well, and we know how to make it feel bigger, cleaner, and easier to use.

Layout Challenges in Older Colorado Homes

Most 5×9 bathrooms were built decades ago around a tub that fewer people use today. Common problems include a high tub wall that’s hard to step over, a vanity with almost no storage, a toilet squeezed between the vanity and tub, a door that swings into everything, and a plastic or tile surround that’s showing its age.

Older bathrooms also tend to hide problems behind the walls. Because we demo down to the studs on every project, we find and fix leaks, mold, and soft subfloors before the new bathroom goes in.

Remodeling Options for a 5x9 Bathroom

The 5x9 layout is the most common bathroom size in Colorado homes. Here’s what we can do with one.

Full Bathroom Renovations

We can remodel the entire 5x9 room: shower or tub, solid surface walls, vanity and countertop, toilet, lighting, fixtures, waterproof luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, paint, and trim. Every full renovation starts with demolition down to the studs so the new bathroom is built on a solid, dry foundation.

Tub-to-Shower Conversions

This is the most popular upgrade for a 5x9 bathroom. We replace the 60-inch tub with a 60-inch shower base that fits the same opening, so there’s no need to move walls. With a low-threshold or curbless entry, a clear glass door, and shelves or recessed niches, the shower feels open and the whole room looks larger. Most tub-to-shower conversions take 2 to 4 days.

Shower & Tub Replacements

We remove the old tub or shower down to the studs, fix anything we find, and install a new tub or shower with solid surface walls and new fixtures.

Vanity, Storage & Fixture Upgrades

In a 5x9 bathroom, the vanity and toilet share one wall, so sizing matters. We help you choose a vanity that adds storage without crowding the toilet, and we plan the layout to keep comfortable clearance around it.

Accessibility & Aging-in-Place Modifications

A 5x9 bathroom can be made much safer. Our CAPS-certified team can replace the tub with a low-threshold or curbless shower, add a built-in or fold-down seat, install grab bars, and add a handheld showerhead, slip-resistant surfaces, and a comfort-height toilet.

How Our Remodeling Process Works

  1. In-Home Design Consultation

    We come to your home, measure the bathroom, and talk through what isn’t working today, whether that’s the tub, the storage, the vanity, or how the room is laid out.

  2. Material Selection & Design Preview

    We bring samples to your home so you can see wall designs, flooring, fixtures, and finishes in your own bathroom and lighting. Lighter solid surface colors, clear glass, and a vanity sized to the room all help a small bathroom feel bigger. For each part of the project, we show you Good, Better, and Best options with a price for each.

  3. Installation & Timeline

    We handle permits, demolition down to the studs, repairs, plumbing, installation, and finish work with one team. Most tub-to-shower conversions take 2 to 4 days. A full 5x9 bathroom remodel typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on scope.

Materials & Finishes Built for Colorado's Climate

In a small bathroom, surfaces get splashed and steamed constantly, so they need to be easy to keep clean. We use solid surface walls instead of grouted tile or plastic surrounds. Solid surface is dense and non-porous, so there are no grout lines to stain or reseal, and hard water spots wipe right off. For floors, we install waterproof LVP, which handles splashes and humidity and has no grout to clean.

Hard-Water-Resistant Fixtures

Front Range water can leave mineral spots on fixtures and glass. We help you choose fixture finishes that hide water spots and clean easily, and our non-porous solid surface walls keep buildup from soaking in.

Space-Saving Storage Solutions

Because we open the walls down to the studs, we can build recessed niches into the shower and walls for storage that doesn’t stick out into the room. Add a vanity with drawers sized to the space and over-the-toilet storage, and a 5×9 bathroom can hold a lot more than it used to.

Small Bathroom Remodel Cost in Colorado

A 5×9 bathroom is smaller, but cost still depends on what you’re changing.

What Affects Your Price

Whether you’re converting the tub to a shower, curbless versus low-threshold entry, plumbing changes, the vanity, fixtures, accessibility features, and what we find behind the walls all affect the price. 

We use a Good, Better, Best structure. During your free in-home consultation, we show you three levels for each part of the project with a price for each, so you can decide where to invest and where to save. Every tier meets our standard of solid surface walls with no plastic and no grouted tile.

Yes. In a traditional 5x9 bathroom, the 60-inch tub can be replaced with a 60-inch shower base in the same space, so no walls need to move. It’s one of the best ways to make a small bathroom feel bigger and easier to use.

For most 5x9 bathrooms, the best layout is the one you already have: the shower or tub across the 5-foot back wall, with the vanity and toilet on the long wall. Keeping the plumbing in place saves money. The biggest gains usually come from swapping the tub for a walk-in shower with clear glass and choosing a right-sized vanity.

It depends on the work. Plumbing, electrical, and structural changes often require a permit. We’ll identify what your project needs and handle permits as part of the job.
