Bathroom Remodeling in Cleveland, OH
Manzil Renovation remodels bathrooms across Cleveland and its suburbs, from half-bath refreshes to full master suites. A standard full bathroom remodel in Cleveland typically costs $8,000 to $18,000 and takes 1 to 3 weeks. Our own crew handles demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, and electrical, and every estimate is free.
A bathroom renovation adds comfort every day and real value when it is time to sell. Bathrooms are also unforgiving: one bad waterproofing job leads to mold and rotted subfloor. Since 2020 we have built our Cleveland reputation on doing the hidden layers right, then finishing them cleanly.
What's included in a Manzil bathroom remodel?
A full bathroom remodel covers demolition down to the studs and subfloor where needed, rough-in plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and final cleanup. One crew handles every trade, so you are not coordinating a plumber, tiler, and electrician on separate schedules.
- Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions: custom tile, niches, benches, and glass
- Tub replacements: soaking tubs, alcove tubs, and tiled surrounds
- Tile: floors, walls, and shower surrounds, set over proper waterproofing
- Vanities, faucets, and toilets: single and double vanities, comfort-height toilets
- Ventilation and lighting: vented exhaust fans, vanity lights, recessed cans, GFCI outlets
- Accessibility: curbless showers, grab bars, and wider doorways for aging in place
- Permits and inspections: filed and scheduled by us

Walk-in shower or bathtub: which should you choose?
Choose a walk-in shower if daily ease, safety, and a modern look matter most; it is our most requested bathroom upgrade. Keep at least one tub in the house if you have young children or expect to sell to families, because many buyers still look for one. In a one-bath home, a tub with a tiled surround is often the safer resale choice.
- Walk-in shower: easier access, larger feel, and room for a bench and niches
- Curbless shower: best for aging in place; needs a recessed or sloped floor
- Tub with tiled surround: flexible for kids and resale in single-bath homes
- Freestanding tub: a statement piece for larger master bathrooms
What drives the cost of a bathroom remodel?
Size matters less than most people expect. The real drivers are how much tile goes on the walls, which fixtures you choose, and whether the toilet, shower, or sink moves. Keeping the drains where they are is the easiest way to protect the budget.
- Tile and waterproofing: floor-to-ceiling tile adds cost; proper waterproofing is not optional
- Fixtures: vanity, faucet, toilet, and shower valve prices vary widely by brand
- Moving plumbing: relocating a toilet or drain means opening the floor and more labor
- Glass: frameless shower glass costs more than a curtain or framed door
- Subfloor and framing: older bathrooms often hide water damage that must be repaired
How long does a bathroom renovation take in Cleveland?
Most bathroom remodels take 1 to 3 weeks of construction. A tub-to-shower conversion or fixture refresh can finish in about a week. A full gut with custom tile, new plumbing lines, or subfloor repair takes closer to three weeks, plus time for inspections. We order fixtures and tile before demolition starts.
- Days 1 to 2: protection, demolition, and inspection of framing and subfloor
- Days 3 to 5: plumbing and electrical rough-in, then rough inspection where required
- Week 2: cement board, waterproofing, and tile
- Final days: vanity, toilet, fixtures, glass, paint, and walkthrough
Why waterproofing matters most in a bathroom remodel
Tile and grout are not waterproof. Behind every shower we build is a continuous waterproof membrane over cement board, sloped properly to the drain and flood-tested before tile goes on. This hidden layer is what keeps water out of your walls and subfloor, and it is where cheap bathroom jobs most often fail.
We also install a vented exhaust fan sized to the room and ducted outside, not into the attic. In Cleveland's humid summers and closed-up winters, good ventilation is what keeps paint, grout, and caulk from growing mildew.
Do you need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Cleveland?
Usually yes, when plumbing, electrical, or structural work is involved, such as moving a drain, adding a fan circuit, or replacing a subfloor. Replacing a vanity, toilet, or faucet in the same location often does not require one. Manzil Renovation files the permits and schedules every inspection for you.
In the City of Cleveland, permits come from the Department of Building & Housing and are filed through the city's online permit portal. Alterations need a building permit, and electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work each carry their own permit and inspection. Suburbs such as Lakewood, Parma, and Westlake run their own building departments with their own forms and fees. We confirm exactly which permits your bathroom needs during the free estimate.
Bathroom remodeling in older Cleveland homes
Pre-1960 Cleveland bathrooms often have cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines, mortar-bed tile floors, and plaster walls. We check these during the estimate, explain what should be replaced while the walls are open, and price it up front so you are not surprised mid-project.
Where a home has character worth keeping, such as a glass-block window, a classic hex tile pattern, or original trim, we design around it. Our Wayland Ave project kept the original glass-block window while rebuilding the rest of the bathroom.
