Most people hear “bathroom renovation” and think months of dust, delays, and disruption. With Bath in a Box, we do it differently. Our process is streamlined, choreographed, and built for speed without sacrificing quality.

From demolition to final accessories, your new bathroom is completed in 14 days. Once your Bath in a Box renovation is scheduled, here is exactly what to expect! We’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at our estimate with our most popular package, The Complete.

Before We Begin: Fully Supplied & Fully Scheduled

One of the biggest reasons renovations drag on? Missing materials and scheduling gaps.

With Bath in a Box, everything is selected and ordered before Day 1. Once demolition starts, there are no delays waiting for products to arrive.

The 14-Day Renovation Timeline

DAY 1 – Demo

We gut the bathroom completely down to the studs.

Starting from the framing ensures your new bathroom isn’t just cosmetically upgraded, it’s structurally sound behind the walls.

Provide plastic protection for demo areas
Install floor protection coverings
Lay out drop cloths for debris and dust control

DAY 2 – Framing

If your design includes a recessed soap niche, we supply and install new lumber framing to create it.

This ensures proper support, clean tile lines, and long-term durability.
