Considering a Bathroom Remodel? Here’s What You Need to Know

Home | Blog | Published on June 9th, 2025

A bathroom remodel is one of the most rewarding projects a homeowner can undertake. Not only does it improve your daily comfort, but it can also increase the value and appeal of your home. However, not all remodeling jobs are created equal, especially when it comes to plumbing. 

We specialize in plumbing-only bathroom remodels, focusing on the essential systems that ensure your bathroom is functional, efficient, and ready for the long haul. If you’re considering a bathroom remodel and want to know what’s involved from the plumbing side of things, this guide is for you.

Why Choose a Plumbing-Only Remodel?

While many remodelers offer full-service renovations that include tiling, drywall, and electrical work, sometimes a plumbing-focused upgrade is all you need. Whether your goal is to update outdated fixtures, rearrange plumbing lines for a new layout, or improve water efficiency, a plumbing-only remodel can be faster, more affordable, and less disruptive than a full-scale overhaul.

Our team brings expert craftsmanship and decades of experience to every job, ensuring your upgraded bathroom systems run smoothly and reliably for years to come.

What’s Included in a Plumbing-Only Remodel?

A plumbing-focused remodel may be more streamlined, but it still delivers dramatic results. Services we offer include:

  • Removal of outdated or damaged plumbing fixtures
  • Installation of new toilets, sinks, tubs, and showers
  • Re-routing or replacing plumbing lines to accommodate layout changes
  • Upgrades to water-efficient plumbing fixtures to reduce utility bills
  • Valve and drain replacements for better performance and reliability

We work closely with homeowners, contractors, or designers to coordinate your plumbing updates alongside other remodeling work like tiling, cabinetry, and painting.

Choosing the Right Fixtures: Gerber & Delta

High-quality plumbing fixtures are the foundation of any great bathroom remodel. At Barrs Plumbing, we proudly recommend and install trusted brands like:

Gerber Toilets: Known for their reliable performance, clean lines, and water efficiency, Gerber toilets are a smart choice for homeowners who want style and function without the premium price tag. Many models feature high-efficiency flush technology, helping you conserve water without sacrificing power.

Delta Faucets & Fixtures: Delta’s wide range of beautifully designed faucets, showerheads, and valves offer innovation and durability. With features like touch-on faucets and multi-spray showerheads, Delta is a go-to brand for comfort, convenience, and timeless style.

What to Consider Before Starting

To ensure your remodel goes smoothly, here are a few key considerations before we begin:

  • What’s your current layout? If you’re keeping your existing layout, plumbing updates can be simpler and more budget-friendly. If you want to move your tub, toilet, or vanity, we’ll need to reroute the plumbing lines, which requires more time and planning.
  • What are your goals? Are you looking to improve function, update an outdated space, or enhance water efficiency? Clarifying your goals helps us recommend the right fixtures and services.
  • Do you need permits? Plumbing changes often require permitting depending on your location. Barrs Plumbing handles all necessary code compliance and permitting, so you can rest easy.
