Ellisville homes and this kind of project
A bathroom remodel in Ellisville means working in ranches and two-stories from the 1960s through the 1980s, so on our first visit we look at the subfloor around the toilet and tub, where the fan exhausts and the age of the valve and piping.
The housing stock here: 1960s to 1980s ranches and two-stories with some newer construction.
Colored tile set in mortar over wire lath comes out by the bucket, with aging piping underneath.
What we find inside Ellisville homes
Closed floor plans and original bathrooms are usual. Removing a kitchen wall typically calls for an engineered beam.
The pink, blue and green tile bathrooms of Ellisville's mid-century homes were set in mortar over wire lath, and they come out by the bucket. Underneath are cast iron and galvanized lines at the end of their service life. We replace piping, add a fan where none existed and rebuild.
What is included
We also handle lighter Ellisville bath updates: new vanity, top, faucet, toilet, lighting, mirror and paint in about a week, with no tile demolition.
We take on bathroom remodel work across Ellisville, from the Bluebird Park area to neighborhoods near Clarkson and Manchester roads.
What we watch for
Under Ellisville toilets and along tub edges we often find subfloor that has been damp for years. We budget a subfloor allowance in every bath proposal so that repair is a line you expected.
Working on shaded, established lots, as we do in Ellisville, we plan access for a plumber, an electrician, a tile setter and carpenters before the first delivery arrives.
Permits and approvals in Ellisville
In Ellisville, a bathroom remodel is reviewed by the City of Ellisville. What follows is plumbing and electrical inspections when lines or circuits change.
Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from older subdivision trustees, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on three to four weeks of site work for a bathroom remodel in Ellisville, once permits and materials are in hand.
Ellisville sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 to Clarkson Road and south, under forty minutes. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.
What our bathroom remodeling looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Ellisville; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Ellisville
We price bathroom remodeling in Ellisville from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Whether plumbing fixtures stay in place.
- Shower construction: acrylic base versus fully tiled, and the glass enclosure.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main bathroom remodeling page. More about the area is on our Ellisville page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Ellisville: common questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Ellisville?
A hall bath gut remodel takes three to four weeks. For Ellisville we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Who will be working in my Ellisville home during a bathroom remodel?
A plumber, an electrician, a tile setter and carpenters, scheduled and supervised by one Henry Hill project lead who is your single point of contact. Licensed trades are used wherever the City of Ellisville requires them.
Why did my old shower fail?
Usually no real waterproofing behind the tile, a pan liner with no pre-slope, or movement at the curb. All three are avoidable with current methods.
