If you own a home on Long Island, there’s a good chance your bathroom needs an update. Bathroom remodeling comes with unique challenges, including older homes, varied layouts, and tight timelines, all of which require transparent and reliable pricing. Many homeowners put off remodeling simply because it feels overwhelming. 


Now add in busy schedules, high renovation costs, and horror stories about projects dragging on for months, and it is easy to see why bathroom remodels get delayed.


This is where Bath in a Box comes in!


Bath in a Box offers a smarter, more predictable way to upgrade your bathroom, without turning your home (and your life) upside down. There are two main renovation options homeowners can choose between, depending on what best fits their space and budget.


So which is right for you? Let’s break down the difference between a Cosmetic and a Complete Bath in a Box package to help you decide which makes the most sense for your Long Island home!


What is Bath in a Box?

Bath in a Box is a bathroom renovation solution that combines design, materials, and installation into two simplified packages with clear, upfront pricing. Instead of running from showroom to showroom and juggling multiple contractors, homeowners select from one of six professionally designed bathroom styles.


For Long Island homeowners, Bath in a Box remodels are especially appealing because they offer:

  • A 14-day renovation timeline (for both packages!)

  • Transparent, predictable pricing

  • Designs that work beautifully in both older homes and new construction

  • Optional upgrades for added flexibility


The Cosmetic Package - $15,995

A cosmetic bathroom upgrade refreshes your space without major demolition. This package includes tile, paint, plumbing fixtures, and lighting for a fresh, modern look.


A Deeper Look Into the Cosmetic Package

This bathroom upgrade includes a new tub or shower base with wall tile installed all the way to the ceiling, plus a new shower head and single-handle faucet for easy use. New tile flooring is installed and finished with base moulding and trim.


The vanity is replaced, along with a new sink and faucet, with different size options to fit your space. The upgrade also includes a new toilet, fresh paint, updated lighting, and new bathroom accessories.


To complete the project, we install either a new shower curtain rod or a fixed glass shower panel, based on your preference.


The result?


A refreshed bathroom with minimal construction!


Best for homeowners who:

  • Like their current bathroom layout

  • Want a less invasive refresh

  • Are focused on improving and updating style


The Complete Package - $17,995

The complete is our best seller and for good reason!! This is a full bathroom renovation that starts from the studs and rebuilds your space with all-new materials. It includes a new tub or shower, tile, modern lighting, a ventilation fan, vanity, fixtures, and finishes. It’s the full-package transformation for a brand-new space that’s built to last.


A Deeper Look Into the Complete Package

This package truly has it all! You get new sheetrock, new insulation, and all the essential updates.


This package features a new bath fan, vanity light, and shower high hat, along with a new soap niche, toilet, and tub/shower base! A new shower head and single vanity are also installed, with options for different sizes.


Finishing touches include new tile flooring, tub/shower wall, base moudling, and casing, plus fresh paint! Standard white switches, one outlet, all new bathroom accessories, and a new shower curtain rod or fixed panel to complete the package!
