Bathroom Remodeling in Topeka, KS

The bathroom is the first room you walk into every morning and the last one you use at night. If yours is outdated, cramped, or falling apart, it drags on your daily life more than almost any other room. Kingdom Builders Co. is the bathroom remodeler Topeka homeowners call to replace that frustration with a space that actually works. When you look for a bathroom remodeler near me in the Topeka area, you want one accountable local contractor, not a rotating cast of subcontractors you never met.

Owner Ryan Felix and the team handle full bathroom renovations from demolition to final trim, coordinating plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, lighting, and ventilation under one contract. We serve homeowners across Topeka, Westboro, College Hill, Holliday Park, and throughout Shawnee County. Our 5.0-star Google rating across 31 reviews is built on getting the details right.

Bathroom remodeling is also one of the highest-return improvements a Topeka homeowner can make. According to the National Association of Home Builders, a mid-range bathroom remodel recoups roughly 60 to 70 percent of its cost at resale, and the daily quality-of-life upgrade is priceless.

Whatever your bathroom needs, from a single shower swap to a full master suite, we build it. Here are the projects Topeka homeowners ask us for most, with real installed pricing.

Master Bathroom Remodel, $20,000 to $45,000

Your master bath is a private retreat. We build master bathroom renovations with walk-in showers, freestanding soaking tubs, double vanities with stone countertops, heated flooring, premium lighting, and proper ventilation. A well-done master bath transforms your routine and adds real value to your Topeka home.

Walk-In Shower Installation, $6,000 to $15,000

A spacious walk-in shower is one of the most requested upgrades in Topeka. We install custom tile walls and floors, linear drains, frameless glass, built-in niches, and multi-head configurations for a spa-like feel.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion, $6,000 to $12,000

If you never use that old tub, a tub-to-shower conversion reclaims the space with a modern, easy-access shower. It is one of the most popular projects we do, and a smart move for homeowners planning to stay in their home for years. We handle the plumbing relocation, waterproofing, tile, and glass from start to finish.

Half Bath Remodel, $5,000 to $10,000

Powder rooms are small spaces with an outsized impact on how your home feels. A new vanity, sink, faucet, mirror, lighting, flooring, and paint can turn a tired half bath into a design statement. Read our bathroom remodeling timeline guide for what to expect at each phase.

The most common question we get is what a bathroom remodel costs. The honest answer is that it depends on the size of the room, the scope of the work, and the materials you choose. Here is what drives the price:

• Scope: A cosmetic refresh (vanity, fixtures, paint, flooring) is far less than a full gut renovation that moves plumbing and reconfigures the layout.
• Wet work: Relocating a toilet, shower, or tub means new drain and supply lines, which adds labor and often a city inspection.
• Tile and materials: Custom tile showers, stone countertops, and premium fixtures cost more than stock options, but they define the look and longevity.
• Layout changes: Removing a wall, expanding the footprint, or converting a tub to a shower changes framing, plumbing, and electrical.

As a general guide in the Topeka area: a half-bath refresh runs about $5,000 to $10,000, a walk-in shower or tub-to-shower conversion $6,000 to $15,000, and a full master bath $20,000 to $45,000.

The right features turn a bathroom from purely functional into a space you look forward to using. These are the upgrades Topeka homeowners ask us for most, and where the budget tends to pay off:

• Frameless glass enclosures: A frameless glass shower makes even a small bathroom feel larger and brighter, and there is no metal frame to collect grime.
• Custom tile and niches: Floor-to-ceiling tile, a decorative accent wall, and a built-in shampoo niche add both style and everyday convenience.
• Double vanities and stone tops: Two sinks end the morning traffic jam, and quartz or granite tops hold up to daily use for decades.
• Heated tile floors: Radiant floor heat is an affordable luxury during a Kansas winter and takes the chill out of tile first thing in the morning.
• Better lighting and ventilation: Layered lighting, LED mirrors, and a properly ducted exhaust fan keep the room bright and free of the moisture that causes mold.
• Freestanding soaking tubs: For master baths with the space, a freestanding tub becomes the centerpiece of the room.

During your free consultation we walk through which upgrades fit your space and your budget, and which ones deliver the most value for a Topeka home.

A bathroom remodel disrupts your routine, so knowing exactly what happens and when helps you plan around it. Here is the typical sequence for a Kingdom Builders bathroom renovation in Topeka.

Days 1 and 2: Demo

Everything old comes out, vanity, toilet, tub or shower, flooring, and often drywall in wet areas. We protect your hallways and adjacent rooms with plastic and drop cloths, and debris goes into a dumpster in the driveway, not piled in your yard.

Days 3 to 5: Rough Plumbing and Electrical

This is where the real work happens behind the walls. Moving a toilet means cutting concrete on a slab or rerouting drains in the crawlspace. Adding a double vanity means new supply and drain lines. Putting in a vent fan that actually works means running a duct to the exterior, not into the attic like the original builder often did in older Topeka homes.

Days 6 to 8: Waterproofing and Backer Board

This step is invisible but critical. Shower walls get cement backer board and a waterproof membrane. The shower pan gets a proper slope to the drain with a waterproof liner underneath. Skipping this is how you get mold in your walls two years later, and it is the step cut-rate remodelers rush.

Days 9 to 14: Tile, Vanity, and Fixtures

Tile goes up on the shower walls, then the floor. Grout cures overnight. The vanity is set and plumbed, the toilet goes back in, fixtures are mounted, and trim is painted. Every valve, drain, and switch is tested.

Day 15: Final Walkthrough

Ryan walks the finished bathroom with you. Any touch-ups happen that day, not sometime next week.

Many of our Topeka bathroom projects are about staying in the home you love, safely, for years to come. If you or a family member has mobility concerns, a few smart changes make a bathroom dramatically safer without making it look like a hospital room:

• Tub-to-shower conversions: Stepping over a tub wall is one of the most common causes of bathroom falls. A curbless or low-threshold walk-in shower removes that hazard entirely.
• Grab bars done right: We install grab bars anchored into solid blocking behind the wall, not just screwed into drywall, so they hold real weight where you need it.
• Comfort-height fixtures: Taller toilets and vanities reduce strain on knees and backs.
• Slip-resistant flooring and a built-in bench: Textured tile and a shower seat add safety and comfort for everyone in the household.

These upgrades blend right into a beautiful remodel. If aging in place is your goal, tell us during the consultation and we will design around it.

About a third of our bathroom projects are fixing problems from a previous remodel. Here is what goes wrong most often:

• Leaking shower pans: Without a proper pre-slope, waterproof liner, and weep holes, water pools under the tile instead of reaching the drain. By the time you notice, the subfloor is rotted. We have pulled up showers where the plywood was completely black with mold.
• No waterproof membrane behind tile: Cement backer board resists moisture but is not waterproof. Without a membrane behind the tile, water reaches the studs. It is code-required and frequently skipped.
• Improper vent fan ducting: A bathroom fan must exhaust outside. Venting into the attic dumps moisture into your insulation and causes mold and ice damming. In older Topeka homes, attic-vented fans are the norm and every one needs to be corrected.
• Undersized water heater: A rain showerhead and body jets double your hot water demand. If a 40-gallon tank barely kept up before, it will not handle the new setup. We check capacity before spec'ing fixtures.
• Ignoring old plumbing: Rusted cast iron drains or mineral-clogged galvanized supply lines should be addressed during the remodel, not after new tile is up and someone has to cut through it.
