Seven Working Days for 90 Square Feet
Seven working days for a 90-square-foot bathroom that was fully gutted and rebuilt — including large-format tile, a new tub, plumbing, vanity, and lighting — is a demanding but achievable schedule when the planning is correct before work starts. At 90 square feet, this bathroom is larger than a typical compact remodel, which means more substrate to prepare, more tile to set, and more plumbing connections to make correctly before any finish work can begin.
The approximate sequencing on a seven-day project at this scope: demolition and rough-in on day one, substrate (green board, cement board) on day two, tile work on days three through five, fixtures and vanity on day six, punch list and final connections on day seven. Each phase has to close correctly before the next one opens. If the rough-in is off, the tile work uncovers it. If the substrate is not flat, the large-format tile reveals it immediately. Completing this in seven days means none of those phases required rework.
Large-Format Tile Throughout
Large-format tile was installed across the full bathroom — on the floor and on the wall surfaces in the wet zone. Large-format tile in a 90-square-foot bathroom reduces the number of grout lines visible across the floor and wall surfaces, which creates a cleaner, more continuous visual field than smaller-format tile would in the same space. In a room of this size, the tile is visible from every angle as soon as you enter — the format choice affects how open and cohesive the space reads.
Installing large-format tile correctly requires a substrate that is flat within tight tolerances. Any variation in the wall framing or floor subfloor will telegraph across a large tile and create lippage — where the edge of one tile sits visibly higher or lower than the adjacent tile. Getting the substrate preparation right before tile installation begins is what makes large-format tile look the way it is supposed to.
New Bathtub
The original bathtub was removed as part of the full demolition, and a new modern tub was set in its place. The tub surround was tiled as part of the large-format tile scope, providing a continuous tiled surface from the floor up through the wet zone around the tub. Getting the tub level and correctly positioned before any tile work begins is essential: the tub ledge is the reference point for the tile layout on the surrounding walls, and if the tub is not level, the tile courses above it will either follow the error or require compensating cuts that disrupt the layout.
Plumbing Fixtures
All plumbing fixtures were updated as part of this remodel. In a full gut, the supply lines and drain connections are fully accessible before the tile closes the walls and floor — the right time to replace aged connections, reposition rough-in as needed, and install new fixture trim that matches the rest of the updated space. Updating plumbing after tile is in place requires cutting through finished surfaces to access what is behind them, which is significantly more disruptive and costly than doing it during the open rough-in phase.
Vanity and Lighting
A new vanity was installed with updated sink and faucet connections. The vanity is the anchor of the bathroom’s non-wet zone — it provides the counter surface, storage, and sink that get used every day. A new vanity in a fully rebuilt bathroom ensures the cabinet finish, countertop, and hardware are consistent with the tile and fixture package rather than being the last remnant of the original room.
New lighting fixtures were installed to provide proper illumination at the vanity and throughout the room. Vanity-level lighting positioned above or beside the mirror illuminates the face from the correct direction for daily grooming — overhead lighting alone casts downward shadows on the face that make the mirror less functional. Updated lighting also brings the electrical in the bathroom to current standards as part of the full remodel scope.
