Bathroom Remodel in Hendersonville, TN: Demo to Finish
Tile showers, new floors, vanities and glass-door showers, handled start to finish by one family-run crew.
A bathroom remodel without handing it off to five different trades
A full bathroom remodel means the old room comes out and a new one goes in: tile and fixtures demolished, the walls and floor checked for water damage, a waterproofed shower built, new tile set, and the finishes installed on top. It is the work Juan Morúa has focused on for about five years, and the photos on this page come from real shower builds.
It is a common project in Hendersonville. The town grew quickly in the decades after Old Hickory Dam created the lake in 1954, and many homes still have the original tub-and-tile bathroom with a small vanity and little storage. Swapping that for a walk-in tiled shower with a niche, a bench and a glass door is one of the most requested upgrades we hear about.
Because we are a small crew, you talk to the same people about the plan, the tile layout and the details from walkthrough to cleanup. If the room only needs fixing, not gutting, see our bathroom repair page, and for how we set shower walls and floors, read about tile and ceramic installation.
Signs it is time for a full remodel
- Cracked or loose tile, or grout that keeps failing no matter how often you reseal it.
- A soft, spongy floor near the tub or toilet, a classic sign of water getting under the surface.
- A tub-shower combination you want to replace with a walk-in tiled shower.
- Musty smells, dark staining or peeling paint that comes back after every cleaning.
- A layout that no longer fits how your household uses the room.
- Fixtures and surfaces from decades ago that cost more to keep patching than to replace.

How a full bathroom remodel goes, step by step
- Walkthrough and measurements
We look at the room, how the plumbing runs, how the shower is used and what you want to keep, then talk through layout options.
- Demolition and inspection
Fixtures, tile and tub come out. Once the walls and floor are open we check the framing and subfloor and tell you what we find before moving on.
- Shower pan and waterproofing
The sloped base and waterproof layers decide whether a shower stays dry for years, so this stage gets checked before any tile goes on.
- Tile layout and setting
We plan the layout so cuts land in the right places and the niche sits centered, then set the walls and floor.
- Fixtures, glass and finish
Vanity, toilet, trim, glass door, grout and caulk go in, followed by cleanup and a final walkthrough with you. If the layout needs major plumbing or electrical changes, we tell you up front how that will be handled.
What affects the cost of a bathroom remodel
Every bathroom is quoted after we see the room. These are the things that move the number most.
Size and layout
Keeping the toilet, vanity and shower where they are costs less than moving plumbing to new locations.
Tile choice and amount
Large-format tile, mosaics, patterned inlays and tall walls all add layout and setting time.
What is behind the walls
Old leaks or rot found at demolition add repair work. We show you what we find before going further.
Shower type
A simple tub replacement is a smaller job than a walk-in shower with a bench, a niche and a glass door.
Fixtures and who supplies them
Vanities, toilets and faucets range widely in price, and customer-supplied items change the quote.
Plumbing and electrical changes
New lighting, fans or moved drains can bring in extra trades or permits.
Why Hendersonville homeowners pick J Morua Remodeling for bathrooms
Bathrooms are the work we are known for. Juan shifted his business toward them about five years ago, and the tile showers, patterned niches and finished glass-door showers on this page are what that focus looks like.
You are not passed between a salesperson, a crew lead and a subcontractor. The person who walks the room with you is the person working in it, which means decisions about layout and tile get made quickly and the details do not get lost.
Where we do this work
We remodel bathrooms across Hendersonville and up the road in Gallatin, with regular trips into Nashville and Old Hickory.
Questions about full bathroom remodeling
How long does a full bathroom remodel take?
Once work starts, a full remodel usually runs a couple of weeks, but shower size, tile layout and anything found behind the walls can change that. We give you a realistic schedule with the quote.
Can you replace my tub with a walk-in shower?
Yes. Swapping a tub for a tiled walk-in shower is one of the most common projects. We check the floor framing and drain location first, because they decide how the new pan is built.
Do you install glass shower doors?
Many of the showers we have finished have glass doors. Tell us the style you want when we quote and we will price it as part of the job.
What happens if you find water damage when the walls come open?
We stop, show you, and explain the repair and what it adds to the job before continuing. Hidden damage is common in older bathrooms, and you decide how to proceed.
Do I need to choose my tile before you quote?
No. We can quote with an allowance or a tile range and refine it once you pick. Choosing early does help, because tile size and pattern affect labor.
Can I use my house during the remodel?
Yes, but you will not have that bathroom for the duration. If it is your only one, tell us when we quote so we can plan the schedule around your household.
