Master Bathroom Remodel – Langhorne, PA
At $22,800, this is the highest-value bathroom project in the portfolio to date. The scope justifies it: 110 square feet rebuilt from scratch in 3 weeks, with a design language that is committed and specific — black fixtures throughout, marble-look tile on every surface, a floating wall-mounted double vanity requiring full plumbing relocation, five new windows painted black on the inside, a freestanding tub with a black floor-mounted filler, a 68″ × 36″ walk-in shower with a recessed ceiling light, and all bathroom doors painted black to match the window frames.
The project did not hinge on the design. Everything either reads as marble-look tile or matte black — there is no third color in the room.

The Design Choice: Committing to Black
A bathroom where all fixtures are matte black, and all surfaces are marble-look tile, is a deliberate design position. It only works if it is consistent — one chrome faucet or a beige tile accent would break the contrast and make the room look unresolved. Every fixture in this bathroom was specified in black: the shower faucet, the floor-mounted tub filler, the vanity faucets, and the cabinet hardware. The window frames were painted black on the inside to read as part of the same palette. The bathroom doors were painted black. Nothing was left in the default.
The marble-look tile provides the counterpoint — a white and grey surface that the black fixtures read against. Running those tiles across the shower walls, the shower base, and the bathroom floor creates a continuous surface that the fixtures are layered on top of, rather than a collection of different finishes that happen to be in the same room.
The Floating Vanity: Why Plumbing Relocation Was Required
A wall-mounted floating vanity hangs from the wall rather than sitting on the floor. The visual effect — floor space visible below the cabinet, the room appearing larger — requires that the supply lines and drain connections come through the wall behind the vanity rather than up through the floor. In a bathroom where the existing plumbing was floor-penetrating, installing a wall-mounted vanity meant relocating those connections through the wall framing before the tile went in.
This is structural work that drives real cost in a floating vanity installation. The result — a vanity that appears to float, with an unobstructed tile floor beneath it — is only achievable with proper plumbing relocation. Without it, the vanity either cannot be wall-mounted or the plumbing connections are visibly exposed below the cabinet, which defeats the purpose.
The Walk-In Shower: 68″ × 36″ with a Recessed Ceiling Light
The shower is 68″ × 36″ — slightly longer than the Blue Bell project’s 68″ × 36″ — and was tiled with marble-look tiles from floor to ceiling on the walls. Mosaic tile was used on the shower base for traction. The black shower fixture provides the contrast against the light tile that defines the whole bathroom’s visual logic: dark hardware, pale surfaces.
A recessed ceiling light was installed inside the shower. In a fully enclosed tile shower, interior lighting makes the enclosure feel part of the room rather than a dark corner of it. The ceiling access for the fixture was handled during the demolition and electrical rough-in phase, before the tile work began.
Five New Windows
Five new windows were installed in the bathroom — a significant quantity for an interior bathroom renovation. The windows are painted black on the interior face and white on the exterior. This detail is deliberate: the black interior frames read as part of the fixture palette inside the bathroom, while the white exterior maintains visual consistency with the home’s exterior. It is the kind of finish decision that is easy to overlook and very visible once the room is complete.
Freestanding Tub Positioned at the Windows
The freestanding tub was positioned in front of the newly installed windows — a placement that uses the natural light from multiple window openings and creates a visual focal point when entering the room. A black floor-mounted tub filler was installed to complete the fixture, maintaining the all-black hardware finish across both the shower and tub zones.
What Three Weeks Look Like at This Scope
A full gut-and-rebuild of a 110-square-foot master bathroom with plumbing relocation, five new windows, a floating vanity, a freestanding tub, and full marble-look tile installation completed in three weeks is a tight schedule that requires correct sequencing and no rework. The three-week timeline is the note in the original brief description, and it matters as a credibility signal: at $22,800 and this level of scope, the execution quality is what justifies the investment.
