What's involved in a master bathroom remodel
Primary suite bathrooms carry more square footage and more fixtures than any other room in the house — which means more decisions, but also more opportunity. A master bathroom remodel typically touches the full footprint: flooring, shower or tub enclosure, vanity and countertop, lighting, ventilation, and finishes like tile and hardware. Because it's usually the largest bathroom in the home, it's also where layout changes (like separating the shower from the tub, or widening a vanity to a dual-sink setup) tend to make the biggest difference.
What's included
Our Luxury Master Suite package — and any custom master bath scope we quote — is built around the same core elements:
- Freestanding soaking tub
- Oversized glass-enclosed shower
- Dual-sink marble or quartz vanity
- Smart toilet
- Accent tile work (herringbone, subway, or a pattern of your choosing)
- Designer lighting and fixtures
Every package includes design, permitting support, demo, and installation — you're working with one team, not coordinating a designer, a permit runner, and a contractor separately.
Our process
- Free in-home consultWe measure your space, talk through layout options, and discuss your priorities and budget.

- PermittingWe handle the permitting process with the City of San Diego for any plumbing or electrical work involved.
- Demo & constructionOur licensed crew handles demo, rough-in work, tile, and installation — typically 4 to 6 weeks for a master suite.
- Final walkthroughWe walk the finished space with you before calling the job complete.
A note on permits
Most master bathroom remodels involve moving or upgrading plumbing and electrical, which generally requires a permit from the City of San Diego Development Services Department. We handle permitting support as part of every package, so this isn't something you have to manage yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a master bathroom remodel cost in San Diego?

Can I keep my existing layout to save money?

Do you handle the design as well as the construction?
Yes. Every Refasin project pairs a dedicated designer with a licensed crew from first sketch to final walkthrough, so you're not coordinating separate contractors.
