What to consider for a basement bathroom
A basement bathroom works best when key layout, plumbing, and code details are planned upfront.
Plumbing layout and drain availability are vital. We can help you determine what is needed and the best layout.
Most basements have a galley-style bathroom layout. We can review the layout options and find one that works for you.
To control moisture, basements are required to meet codes to ensure proper handling. We will review this with you and ensure compliance with all required building codes.
Bathroom Design and Build
Our design-and-build process uses detailed computer-generated layouts, so you can preview your bathroom’s design before we start construction. We will work with you on budgets and design to make sure you get a basement bathroom that you’ll love at a price that works for your budget.
The Basement Finishing Process
Step 1: Consultation and Bid
During our initial consultation and bid, we will review your ideas, discuss budgets, and get an idea of your vision for the basement. Our first bid will reflect this conversation. From there we will work with you to refine the bid to get the basement remodel features you want while paying careful attention to your overall budget for the project.
Step 2: Digital Designs and Planning
This is the most important step in a basement remodel. We create the basement digitally first. You can see the plans and a 3D design so that you can visualize your basement before we start. This will help you focus on what is most important and get the basement remodel that works best for you and your family.
Step 3: Building/Construction
Once the city has approved the building permit, we will move into the building phase of basement remodeling. During this phase, we will update you regularly regarding the progress of your project and keep you informed about the overall schedule and timeline for completion.
Step 4: Completion
The final two steps for completing your basement remodeling project are the final inspection for the city and a final walk-through and punch list from you. When both are completed and the basement is to your satisfaction, the project will be complete, and your comprehensive two-year warranty will be active.
Options to Consider for Your Basement Bathroom
Options to Consider for Your Basement Remodel
Tile Showers
A tile shower gives you flexibility in layout, size, and overall look, making it a popular choice for basement bathrooms. It can be built to fit tighter spaces or customized with features like benches, niches, or glass enclosures. With the right materials and proper waterproofing, a tile shower holds up well over time and adds a more finished feel to the space.
Double Sink Vanity
A double sink vanity adds convenience by giving two people space to get ready at the same time without crowding the area. It works best in larger basement bathrooms where there’s enough room to keep the layout comfortable and functional. With the right setup, it also adds storage and helps the space feel more complete and balanced.
Rain-head Showers
A rain head shower adds a more relaxed, spa-like feel to a basement bathroom with wider water coverage and a softer flow. It works best with proper water pressure and ceiling height to get the full effect. When planned correctly, it becomes a simple upgrade that makes the space feel more comfortable and finished.
Heated Tile Floors
Heated tile floors add comfort by taking the chill out of a naturally cooler basement bathroom. They provide consistent warmth underfoot and help the space feel more finished year-round. With proper installation, they’re a low-maintenance upgrade that improves everyday use without changing the layout.
FAQ
In most cases, yes. The main factors are access to plumbing, available space, and compliance with code requirements such as ceiling height and ventilation. We review your layout and let you know what works before getting started.
It depends on the layout, but even smaller spaces can work for a half- or three-quarter-bath. Full bathrooms need a bit more room for a tub or shower and proper clearances around fixtures. Generally, you’ll need at least 40 square feet to make a basement bathroom work.
Yes. Adding a bathroom makes your basement more functional and appealing, especially if you’re adding bedrooms or creating a separate living area. It’s one of the more practical upgrades for long-term value.
Yes. Plumbing, electrical, and structural work need permits and inspections for safety and code compliance. We handle the entire permitting process, including submitting plans and coordinating inspections, so you don’t have to worry about the details and can focus on your project.
FAQ
Generally, a basement remodel takes longer than a standard basement finish. There is more planning, and often, the demo of existing finishes takes some time. Also, we’re often adding wet bars or kitchenettes, two of the more time-consuming components. A reasonable time frame for most basement remodels is 12-16 weeks.
A standard basement finish costs $30 to $40 per square foot. Remodels are often more expensive due to demolition charges and the upgrade features we add to the project, like kitchens and theater rooms. So, depending on the scope of work, most basement remodeling projects are $35 to $50 per square foot.
In Utah, you typically need a building permit to remodel your basement. This ensures that all work complies with local building codes and safety regulations. We will do all the necessary paperwork and obtain the building permit for your basement.
