Bathroom Remodeling in Broomall, PA

Cost ranges for Broomall bathrooms

Bids for a project like this land all over the map — and the lowest one is usually the one that climbs the most once the walls come down. We’d rather hand you the honest range up front.

Tier	Range	Typical Broomall project
Bath Refresh	$25,000 – $40,000	Powder room or basic hall bath refresh
Full Bath Remodel	$35,000 – $65,000	Hall bath full gut
Primary / Master Bath	$50,000 – $90,000+	Standard Broomall primary suite scope

Two dials set the price: scope and finish — and they move independently. Scope is how much work and how big the project is — a bath refresh updates surfaces and fixtures in place; a full bath remodel rebuilds within the room, often converting a tub to a walk-in shower; a primary suite is the biggest by nature, expanding the footprint and replumbing. Some of that is locked in — a primary bath is always the largest room — but finish is the separate dial: a refresh can still get Brizo or Waterworks fixtures, while a full primary suite can stay measured with Delta fixtures and a Tribeca vanity. Every shower, at any tier, is built on a fully-bonded Schluter KERDI, Wedi, or RedGard system. We’ll install whatever you spec — the brands below are simply the lines we reach for most.

Fixture and tile selection is the biggest budget lever on a Broomall primary bath — the post-war bones are sound, so the budget goes into finishes, not structure. The Primary Bath tier doesn’t carry a hard ceiling; fully custom suites with millwork integration and Waterworks-tier fixtures regularly exceed $90K.

Aging-in-place additions are common in Broomall primary baths — curbless showers, blocking for grab bars, comfort-height fixtures. Adds $3K–$8K at any tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Broomall?

Broomall bathroom remodels run $25,000 to $90,000+ depending on scope. A hall-bath refresh starts around $25K–$40K; a hall-bath full gut runs $35K–$65K; a primary suite with a freestanding tub, expanded frameless shower, double vanity, and heated floor runs $50K–$90K+, and fully custom suites with Waterworks-tier fixtures go beyond that. Broomall projects land across the tiers depending on scope; the level of fixtures, tile, and glass you choose is the biggest budget lever. The free cost guide above breaks every tier down line by line.

How long does a Broomall primary bath remodel take?

Most Broomall primary-bath remodels run 5–7 weeks of active construction once tile and fixtures are on site. The full timeline from first call to final walkthrough is typically 2.5–4 months. These post-war homes have sound infrastructure, so there’s rarely old-house surprise work — the schedule driver is usually lead time on fixtures, custom vanities, and specialty tile. We give you a hard date at proposal and update it weekly in the JobTread portal so you’re never guessing where the project stands.

What’s included in your fixed-price quote?

Everything we can see at signing: design, all materials (tile, vanity, fixtures, hardware), all labor and trade partners (plumbing through our plumber, electrical through our electrician, tile, finish carpentry), permits, inspections, dumpster, project management, and the final walkthrough. On a 1950s–60s Broomall home there’s far less hidden-condition risk than on a pre-war house — the value of fixed price here is locking your selections so the number doesn’t drift. The only thing that changes the number is scope you choose to add after signing, documented and approved by you in writing first.

What happens when you open a wall in a 1950s or 1960s split-level Broomall home?

Rarely dramatic — a 1950s–60s Broomall split-level or ranch was built with more modern framing than a pre-war house, though we sometimes find an original or 1960s panel, or galvanized supply on an exterior wall. The thing we do confirm is the condition behind a primary-bath wet wall, because the original jetted tub deck and undersized shower pan occasionally hid slow, long-term leaks. None of that is unusual on a 25-year-old jetted tub; we document anything we find, photograph it, price the fix, and get your written approval before proceeding. No silent change orders.

Can you expand my primary bath or just reconfigure within the footprint?

On most Broomall primary baths you don’t need to expand — at 100–150 sq ft there’s usually enough room to remove the jetted tub, build a proper walk-in shower, and add a freestanding soaker by reconfiguring within the existing footprint. Where a client wants more, absorbing an adjacent closet or a slice of the bedroom is feasible; we bring in a Pennsylvania-registered structural engineer if a load path is involved. We’ll tell you honestly whether your room needs to grow or just needs a smarter layout.

Should I keep the old jetted tub, or convert to a walk-in shower?

Honestly, almost every Broomall client converts. The oversized jetted tubs in many Broomall primary baths rarely get used, the motors fail, and they eat space a frameless walk-in shower and a freestanding soaker would use far better. If you genuinely take baths, we design in a freestanding soaker — better than a jetted tub and far easier to clean. If you don’t, converting almost always improves daily use and resale. We give you our honest read for your specific room, not a default upsell.

Do you have to replumb the bathroom?

Usually only partially. Subdivision homes have modern copper or PEX supply and PVC drains, so there’s rarely a full galvanized-to-copper replumb like in a pre-war house. What does change is the rough-in: moving from a jetted tub and stall shower to a freestanding tub and a larger walk-in shower means relocating drains and supply lines for the new fixture positions. That’s planned and priced on the proposal — never a surprise change order.

Will the remodel affect the ceiling in the room below?

Sometimes — far less than in a plaster-ceiling older Broomall home. If we’re relocating drains for a new tub or shower position, we may need to open the drywall ceiling below to run them, then patch and repaint. We include that in scope from the start where the new layout requires it, and tell you up front whether your specific project needs it.

Can you do aging-in-place modifications without it looking institutional?

Yes — and that’s the case for doing it during the remodel instead of bolting it on later. A curbless walk-in shower, blocking in the walls for future grab bars, a comfort-height toilet, and a bench detail all integrate cleanly when planned from the start. Built in at the framing stage it adds roughly $3K–$8K, and done right you’d never read it as “aging-in-place” — it just looks like a well-designed bathroom that happens to work at any age. This is increasingly common on Broomall primary baths.

What does Marple Township permitting cost for a bath project?

Permit fees through Marple Township typically run 1–2% of contract value. On a $90,000 primary bath, expect roughly $900–$1,800. We pull every required permit, schedule the inspections around the production schedule, and show the permit cost as a transparent line item on the proposal — it’s never buried in markup or sprung on you mid-project.

Do I need to hire my own designer?

No separate designer needed — we’re design-build, so the team that designs your Broomall bath is the team that builds it; nothing gets drawn that we can’t build for the price quoted (and we collaborate cleanly if you already have a designer, which many Broomall clients do).

How will you communicate with me during construction?

During construction you get one point of contact (Alex or your project manager) who answers calls and texts, weekly progress updates, and a heads-up before anything becomes a problem, plus the live JobTread portal showing schedule, budget, and invoices.
