What goes into a bathroom renovation in Farragut?
A bathroom renovation in Farragut means taking out what is worn and rebuilding the room in a set order: demolition, a look at the walls and subfloor, shower or tub work, tile, vanity and top, fixtures, lighting, trim and cleanup. Some homes need the whole room redone. Others need one shower rebuilt, or a tired floor painted and stenciled instead of torn out. Curtis Can Do LLC does the work hands-on, so the person who walks the room with you is the person holding the tools. We check the subfloor for soft spots and the walls for hidden damage once the old surround is out. At the walkthrough we measure, talk through layout and materials, and confirm scope, schedule and price in plain terms before anything is removed. The work on this page, from large-format marble-look tile to glass subway and mosaic shower pans, comes from our own jobs.
- Layout, tile, vanity and fixtures chosen together before demo starts
- Floors and the rest of the house protected while the room is open
- One person on site from the first measurement to the final walkthrough

Every part of the bathroom we work on
A bathroom is six jobs in one small room. Here is what each part can include, so you can see where your project falls.
Shower and tub
- Walk-in shower rebuilds with a tiled mosaic pan floor
- Tub surrounds in subway, glass subway or vertical-stack tile
- Glass enclosure or curtain, matched to the room
- Tub to shower, or shower to tub, conversions
- Walls and floor behind the old surround checked as it comes out
Tile walls
- Large-format marble-look panels for fewer grout lines
- Glass subway for a lighter, reflective finish
- Vertical-stack layouts that make a small room read taller
- Layout planned so cuts land where they show least
- Corners and changes of plane finished with matching caulk
Floor
- Wood-look or mosaic tile in a new floor
- Subfloor checked for soft spots before tile goes down
- Paint and stencil refresh for tile that is still sound
- Clean transition to the hall or bedroom floor
Vanity and top
- Old vanity out, wall behind it patched and ready
- New vanity set level and plumb
- Marble or other top fitted to the cabinet
- Sink and faucet hooked up, mirror and backsplash set
Fixtures and lighting
- Matte black faucets and shower trim, or the finish you choose
- Toilet reset or replaced
- Light fixture swaps to suit the new layout
- Towel bars, hooks and accessories backed and mounted solid
Niche and storage
- Recessed shower niche framed and tiled in
- Built-in shelving and wall niches
- Mirror or medicine cabinet placement planned with the vanity
- Spots for towels and daily items worked out at the walkthrough
Full remodel, shower or tub rebuild, or a refresh?
Not every bathroom needs to be gutted. Compare the three common scopes, then we confirm the right one at the walkthrough.
| Full remodel | Shower or tub rebuild | Refresh | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What changes | Walls, floor, shower or tub, vanity and top, fixtures and lighting. The room is rebuilt to the layout you choose. | The shower or tub area only: new tile walls, pan or tub, niche, enclosure and trim. The rest of the room stays. | Paint or stencil on sound floor tile, a vanity swap, new fixtures and hardware. No tile is torn out. |
| Typical disruption | High. The room is out of use while it is open, with demo dust, noise and several trades of work in a row. | Moderate. That shower or tub is out of use during the work, and demo is limited to one area. | Low. Mostly paint, drying time and a few hours of install work, with the room usable in between. |
| Who it suits | Original builder-grade baths, rooms with water damage or a layout that no longer works, and anyone ready for a new look head to toe. | A good room around a worn or leaking shower, a tub you want to convert, or a surround you want to retile. | Sound tile that looks dated, a budget-minded update, or a room you want to freshen before a sale or a bigger project later. |
| From our photos | Freestanding tub, tiled walk-in shower and new vanity. | Mosaic pan showers and subway or vertical-stack tub surrounds. | Painted and stenciled floor tile, vanity swaps. |
Scroll the table sideways on a small screen. Price depends on the drivers listed further down this page and is confirmed at the walkthrough.

What the work looks like from start to finish
Two sequences from our own jobs: a budget refresh that kept the existing tile, and a full demo to finished bath.

From first walkthrough to final cleanup
Five steps, in the order they happen. We handle each one ourselves.
Walkthrough and measure
We look at the room, measure it, and checks the existing tile, subfloor and fixtures. You talk through what bothers you, what you want to keep, and how you use the bathroom day to day.
Choose layout and materials
We settle the layout, tile and size, shower or tub type, vanity, top and fixture finish. Scope, schedule and price are confirmed in plain terms before any work starts.
Demo and protect the house
Floors and the path through the house are covered. The old vanity, fixtures and tile come out, and we check the walls and subfloor so problems are found now, not after new tile is up.
Rough work, then tile
Any repairs and prep come first, then the shower or tub area, niche and pan, then wall and floor tile. Grout and caulk go in after the tile has set.
Fixtures, trim, cleanup and final walkthrough
Vanity, top, faucets, toilet, lighting, hardware and trim go in. We clean up, then walk the finished room with you and fix anything that is not right.
What to expect at home during the work
- Floors and the route from the door to the bathroom are covered before demo starts.
- Expect noise and some dust on demo days. We contain the work area and clean up as we go.
- Water to the bathroom may be off at times. We tell you ahead of those moments.
- Plan for the bathroom, and sometimes the nearest sink, to be unavailable while it is open. Ask about a second bathroom in the house.
- Keep pets and small children away from the work area and the tools.
- Decide on tile, fixtures and finishes before demo, so work does not stall waiting on a choice.
- Tell us where to park and where materials can be staged.
What moves the cost of a bathroom project
We do not quote numbers from a phone call. These are the things that change the price, and we confirm them at the walkthrough.
- Size of the room. A larger floor and taller walls mean more tile, more cuts and more time.
- Scope of the work. A full remodel, a shower or tub rebuild and a refresh are very different jobs.
- Layout changes. Keeping fixtures where they are costs less effort than moving a shower, tub or vanity.
- Tile choice and pattern. Large-format panels, small mosaics, vertical-stack layouts and patterns all set cutting and install time differently.
- Shower and tub type. A mosaic pan, a glass enclosure or a freestanding tub each adds its own steps.
- Vanity, top and fixtures. Stock or upgraded vanities, marble tops and finishes like matte black change material cost.
- What is behind the walls and floor. Soft subfloor, old surrounds or hidden damage can add repair work. We look as the room opens.
- Access and finish level. How materials reach the room and how much detail you want in trim and accents affects hours on site.

Bathrooms in Farragut, Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Maryville
Curtis Can Do LLC is based in Farragut and serves four Tennessee towns.
- Farragut
- Knoxville
- Oak Ridge
- Maryville
In older Farragut and West Knoxville subdivisions, many bathrooms are still the original builder-grade rooms: a tub and shower combination, a stock vanity, basic tile and a single light. Those rooms often suit a full remodel or a shower rebuild, and a tired floor can sometimes be refreshed on its own. We look at each house before recommending a scope.
Bathroom renovation questions, answered
What affects the cost of a bathroom renovation in Farragut?
Scope, room size, layout changes, tile and fixture choices, and what we find behind the walls and under the floor all affect cost. A refresh costs far less effort than a full remodel. We do not guess over the phone. We measure at the walkthrough, then confirms scope and price in plain terms before work starts.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
It depends on the scope. A paint and stencil refresh moves faster than a full remodel with new tile. Timing is also shaped by tile drying and curing, how much repair is found after demo, material availability and how many decisions are still open. We confirm a schedule at the walkthrough once the scope is clear.
Can we use the bathroom during the work?
Plan on that bathroom being out of service while it is open. A refresh may leave the room usable between steps, but a shower or tub rebuild or full remodel usually does not. If your home has a second bathroom, tell us at the walkthrough and we will plan the work around how your household uses the house.
Can worn tile be refreshed without replacing it?
Yes, when the tile is sound. We have primed and painted old gray bathroom floor tile white and added stenciled patterns, as shown in the photos above. It suits a budget update. We check the tile condition first, because cracked, loose or water-damaged tile should be replaced instead of painted.
Can you convert a tub to a shower, or a shower to a tub?
Yes. Tub to walk-in shower is a common change, usually with a tiled mosaic pan and a glass enclosure or curtain, while some homeowners want a tub where a shower stood. We look at the plumbing, floor and wall conditions at the walkthrough, then confirm what the conversion involves and what it changes in the room.
How do I choose between tile styles and materials?
Start with how you use the room and how much cleaning you want to do. Large-format tile has fewer grout lines, glass subway is bright and reflective, vertical-stack adds height, and mosaic suits shower floors. We show what we have installed, then help you match tile, fixtures and finish to your budget.
What areas do you serve for bathroom renovation?
