Bathroom remodeling for Allentown homes with one bathroom

The bathroom stays protected while the rest of the house stays livable, the schedule works around your family, and one crew sees it through.

How a bathroom remodel runs in your house

You get your only bathroom back on a firm date, protected while the work happens and finished when it was promised.

Allentown Bathroom Pros is a bathroom remodeling contractor that has worked in houses across Allentown and the Lehigh Valley since 2010, sixteen years of one-bathroom homes, with a book that usually runs a few weeks out.

Full remodels, tub to shower conversions, walk-in showers and tiling cover most of the work, alongside vanity swaps, flooring and the accessible features, a grab bar, a curbless entry, that let somebody stay in the house they already know.

Every wet area gets a full waterproofing membrane before tile goes on, the step that keeps water out of the subfloor and the ceiling of whatever room sits underneath it.

Is a job worth calling about? A single fixture swapped for a homeowner in Coplay counts, and so does a full gut remodel for a family finally replacing the only bathroom their rowhouse has ever had.

Call (610) 555-0133 for a free in-home visit and a start date built around your one bathroom. You go from planning showers around one broken fixture to using a finished bathroom every morning!

What changes when it is the only bathroom in the house

One bathroom, and no spare while it is out of service.

A homeowner is not asking about purchase orders. They are asking how long they lose the only bathroom in the house, whether the dust reaches the bedrooms, and whether the family's schedule gets worked around or just told to cope.

That is a different job from a landlord's, and Allentown Bathroom Pros plans a house remodel around the household living in it, not around a building's paperwork.

  • The rest of the house kept livable, not just the bathroom
  • A free in-home visit before anything is measured on paper
  • One crew, start to finish, not a rotating list of subcontractors

Services

Everything from a new shower to the whole room

Commercial Residential
  • Full Bathroom Remodels

    Homeowners in a rowhouse or a twin whose only bathroom has never been touched call for a full remodel when patching one more thing stops making sense. It suits anyone ready to replace the whole room at once rather than one fixture at a time, especially where the layout itself needs to change, not just what is on the surface.

    Learn more about Full Bathroom Remodels
  • Showers and Bathtubs

    Homeowners past the point of stepping over a tub wall call for a conversion, along with anyone whose shower pan has already failed and needs rebuilding from the subfloor up. It suits a single fixture changing inside a room that otherwise stays as it is, not a full remodel of everything around it.

    Learn more about Showers and Bathtubs
  • Tiling and Waterproofing

    For a shower that is failing quietly behind the tile, or a floor going in fresh. The membrane is the part nobody sees again, which is exactly why it gets named, checked and flood tested before a single tile is set on top of it.

    Learn more about Tiling and Waterproofing
  • Vanities and Storage

    For a rowhouse bathroom where the vanity that looked fine in a showroom will not clear the door, or a family finally adding real storage to a room that never had any. The measure comes before the choice, not after.

    Learn more about Vanities and Storage
  • Accessible Bathrooms

    For somebody staying in the home they know, or a family arranging a bathroom before a parent moves in or comes home from hospital. The room is planned around an actual person, on the visit, not against a checklist.

From your first call to a finished bathroom

Two to three weeks door to door, and the noisy work is over well before the halfway point.

  1. Free visit and measure

    Same day

    Someone comes to the house, measures the room and checks what is behind the walls. Most Allentown homes have only the one bathroom, so the visit covers how the work fits around that too.

  2. Design and selections

    A few days

    Layout, tile, vanity and fixtures get chosen together, with the shower or tub decision made first, since that choice drives the plumbing and waterproofing underneath everything else.

  3. Materials ordered

    About a week

    Tile, the vanity and every fixture get ordered and confirmed before a wall comes down, so the one bathroom in the house is not opened up and left waiting on a delivery.

  4. Demo and rough-in

    One to two days

    Old fixtures and tile come out and the plumbing opens up, which is where a cast iron stack or a floor joist never sized for tile gets found and dealt with.

  5. Waterproofing and tile

    One to two weeks

    A waterproofing membrane goes on before a single tile does, then the floor and walls are set and grouted around it.

  6. Finish and walkthrough

    One to two days

    Vanity, fixtures, lighting and ventilation go in, the room gets cleaned, and someone walks it with you before the job is called done.

What actually changes the price of a bathroom?

One bathroom, two different quotes. Here is what actually moves the number once the room has been measured and opened up.

Size of the bathroom
A powder room and a full bath with a tub, a shower and a vanity are different amounts of tile, waterproofing and fixture work, and the square footage sets the baseline before anything else is decided.
Tub to shower conversion
Removing a tub, reworking the drain and waterproofing a new shower pan is more work than replacing what is already there in the same footprint, and it moves the number accordingly.
Condition behind the old surface
Rowhouses and pre-war twins across the Lehigh Valley often hide plaster on lath or a subfloor never sized for tile, and what turns up once the old surface is off changes the plan.
Plumbing moved or left in place
Keeping the toilet, tub and vanity where they already sit costs less than relocating any of them, since moving a fixture means opening the floor or wall to move its lines too.
Tile and fixture selection
Ceramic and a builder-grade vanity cost less than porcelain slab tile, a freestanding tub or custom cabinetry, and the choice gets made at the selections meeting before ordering.
Accessible features
A curbless shower, grab bar blocking or a wider doorway add framing and waterproofing work beyond a standard remodel, and get priced once the layout is actually set.

Every factor above gets confirmed once someone has seen the room, so the number quoted at the visit is the number kept. Get a free quote

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Common questions before booking a bathroom remodel

Is my bathroom too small to bother calling about?

No. A powder room refresh and a full gut remodel get the same free visit and the same attention, and a bathroom is worth calling about the moment it stops working the way your household needs it to, whatever size it is.

What happens to my old tub and vanity once they come out?

The old tub, vanity and tile get hauled off site once the new fixtures are confirmed and on hand, so nothing sits in the driveway or the yard for days, and there is nothing left for you to arrange or dispose of yourself.

How long will I actually be without a bathroom?

Most Allentown homes have one bathroom, so Allentown Bathroom Pros plans around that specifically, two to three weeks door to door with the loudest, messiest part of the job finished well before the halfway point.

How do we decide between a tub and a walk-in shower?

A walk-in shower usually wins on daily use and on getting older in the house, a tub usually wins where a bath is what the household actually uses, and the choice gets made at the design meeting before anything is ordered.

What makes one bathroom cost more than another?

Room size, whether a tub is being converted to a shower, what condition the walls and floor are in once opened up, and the tile and fixtures chosen all move the number, and every factor gets confirmed once the room has been measured.

Do I have to move out of the house during the work?

No. The bathroom is closed off with plastic sheeting from the door to the tub and the rest of the house stays livable, though a hotel night or two is worth planning for on the day the old tub and tile actually come out and the water gets shut off.

Why does the waterproofing matter more than the tile?

Tile is what you see, but the membrane underneath is what stops a leak from reaching the joists and the ceiling of the room below it, and it goes on before a single tile is set, on every job Allentown Bathroom Pros does, full remodel or small repair alike.

Do I need to be home while the crew is working?

No, though the first visit and the final walkthrough go better with somebody there to answer questions. Once the schedule is set, the crew can work the house on its own for most of the middle stretch of the job without you needing to be there every day.

Will the dust get into the rest of the house?

Demo is the dustiest stretch of the job, and it gets contained with sheeting run from the bathroom door to the tub, sealed off from the rest of the house rather than trusted to a closed door alone, so the other rooms stay livable while it happens.

What if something goes wrong after the job is finished?

Allentown Bathroom Pros carries general liability and workers compensation insurance and comes back to look at anything that moves or fails after the job is finished, the same crew that built it rather than a stranger starting cold on somebody else's work.

My rowhouse has old plaster walls, is that a problem?

No, it is the normal case. Plaster on lath, a cast iron waste stack and a subfloor never sized for tile turn up often enough in Allentown's rowhouses and pre-war twins that the plan accounts for it before a wall comes down.

Can I use my current toilet's plumbing to save money?

Often, yes. Keeping the toilet, tub and vanity where they already sit costs less than moving any of them, since relocating a fixture means opening the floor or wall to move its lines too, and that trade-off gets weighed against the layout you actually want at the design meeting.
