A luxury primary bath is a waterproofing project with beautiful finishes on top of it. Curbless entries, full-slab stone walls, linear drains, freestanding tubs on structural floors, heated tile — every one of those is a detail that has to be engineered, not decorated.
Curbless is the clearest example. A flush entry requires the subfloor to be recessed, the slope re-established across the whole wet zone, and the waterproofing membrane detailed continuously through a threshold that no longer exists. Done right, it is the single most transformative thing you can do to a primary bath — and it ages beautifully as mobility changes. Done as a finish decision, it floods the bedroom.
We design and build these as one team, so the structural work, the waterproofing strategy, and the stone layout are resolved together before demolition rather than negotiated during it.

Tampa Bay labor and materials run roughly 18–23% above national averages, and every number moves with your layout, structural conditions, and finish level. We give you a fixed, itemized proposal after a free in-home measure.

How the project runs
- 90 min
Design consultation & structural assessment
We check floor structure, drain locations, and ceiling access first — those determine whether curbless, freestanding, and steam are actually possible.
- 2–3 weeks
Design development & waterproofing strategy
Layout, stone layout, and the waterproofing detail package developed together. The membrane strategy is designed, not improvised.
- 1–2 weeks
Specification & fixed proposal
Stone, fixtures, glass, heating, and controls itemized into a fixed-scope proposal.
- 3–8 weeks
Permitting & procurement
Permit submitted while slab material, custom glass, and long-lead fixtures are ordered.
- 2–3 weeks
Structural & rough-in
Subfloor recessing, drain relocation, framing, plumbing, electrical, and heating — all inspected before closing.
- 4–6 weeks
Waterproofing, stone & finish
Membrane applied and flood-tested, slab set, tile, fixtures, glass templated to the finished opening.
Timeline
Luxury primary baths typically run 8–14 weeks on site with 5–11 weeks of design, permitting, and procurement in front. Slab stone and custom glass are the long-lead items.
Permits & Florida code
Bathroom remodels in Tampa Bay pull plumbing and electrical permits whenever fixtures move or circuits change. The line item Florida takes most seriously is waterproofing: the Florida Building Code requires an inspected shower pan and a continuous moisture barrier in wet areas, and a failed pan test means the tile comes back off. We build to pan-test-first, handle every inspection, and close the permit.
The decisions that move your number
The four things worth thinking about before you get quotes.
Curbless is structural, not decorative
It requires recessing the subfloor and detailing the membrane continuously through a threshold that no longer exists. Budget it as structural work and it performs beautifully for decades.
Freestanding tubs need a verified floor
A filled cast-iron or stone-resin tub is a serious point load. The floor structure gets verified — and sometimes reinforced — before the tub is specified.
Slab stone must be selected in person
Book-matched feature walls depend on the specific slabs. At this level you should be at the stone yard tagging your actual material.
Steam changes the whole envelope
A steam shower needs a fully sealed, vapour-tight enclosure, a sloped ceiling, and a dedicated generator location. It is a design-phase decision, never an add-on.
How we work
Not claims about how good we are — commitments about how the project runs.
Design–build under one contract
The team that designs your kitchen or bath is the team that builds it. One contract, one schedule, one person accountable — no handoff gap between designer and contractor.
Fixed scope, itemized proposal
Every line is visible before you sign — cabinetry, counters, labor, permits, contingency. Change-order pricing is agreed in writing before any extra work proceeds.
Permits pulled and closed
We handle Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco permitting end to end, schedule every inspection, and close the permit out. You never deal with the county counter.
Waterproofing flood-tested before tile
Every shower pan we build is flood-tested and inspected before a single tile goes on. It is the cheapest line to cut and the most expensive one to redo.
Built to the Florida Building Code
GFCI and AFCI protection, dedicated circuits, code ventilation, engineered headers, and inspected moisture barriers — the requirements that actually matter in Florida humidity.
Kitchens and baths only
We do not take on roofing, additions, or general handyman work. Two rooms, done to a standard that only comes from specialising.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a bathroom remodel 'luxury'?
Scope more than finish. Curbless wet zones, full-slab stone, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and steam all require structural and waterproofing engineering that a standard remodel does not. Practically, luxury primary suites in Tampa Bay start around $45,000.
How much does a master bathroom remodel cost in Tampa Bay?
Elevated primary baths in the existing layout run $28,000 to $45,000. Reconfigured luxury suites with curbless showers and freestanding tubs run $45,000 to $75,000. Estate-level wet rooms with steam run $75,000 and up.
Can any bathroom be made curbless?
Most can, but not all. It depends on the floor structure — a recessed subfloor is straightforward in a wood-framed floor and considerably more involved on a slab. We assess this at the consultation before it is designed in.
How long does a luxury bathroom take?
8–14 weeks on site, plus 5–11 weeks of design, permitting, and procurement. Slab stone and custom glass drive the schedule.
Is a wet room practical in Florida?
Yes, provided the ventilation is engineered for it. A combined tub-and-shower wet zone holds more moisture than a standard bath, so exhaust capacity and the waterproofing envelope both get sized up. That is a design decision, not an afterthought.
