What Customers Say
Many East Valley bathrooms built in the 1990s and 2000s still have the builder's original fiberglass tub, basic valve and plain vanity. Updating them is a good time to fix the plumbing too: move a fixture, upgrade the shower valve, and test every line before new tile goes up.
A new bathroom only works as well as the plumbing behind it. Renova is a licensed plumber and general contractor, so the person who plans your layout also runs the drains and supply lines under it.
When to Call About Bathroom Remodeling
- Fiberglass tubs, basic single-handle valves and laminate vanities from the 1990s and 2000s wear out and date the room.
- Older or basic valves lose their seals and struggle to hold a steady temperature. A remodel is the time to replace them.
- Moving a toilet, vanity or shower changes the drain and supply routes, so the plumbing plan comes first.
- A second sink needs its own drain, vent and supply lines sized and tested inside the wall.
- Repeated cracks and mildew can mean water is getting behind the surround. Check it before building over it.
- East Valley hard water crusts faucets, showerheads and valves. New fixtures deserve protection from the start.
- Older homes often need the drains inspected first. Our older-home remodel service is built around that.
- Layout choices that look simple on paper can mean major drain work. Get the plumbing reviewed early.

Bathroom Remodeling: From the Job Site
How Bathroom Remodeling Works With Renova
Step 1: Initial conversation
Tell us what you want the bathroom to be. We ask about scope, timeline, design stage and whether you already have a GC.
Step 2: Site visit and review
We walk the space, review your plans and check the existing plumbing for anything that should be fixed first.
Step 3: Scope and estimate
You get a clear, line-item scope and an honest estimate before anything is committed. No scope creep that wasn't discussed.
Step 4: Rough-in and build
Drains, vents and supply lines go in and are tested before walls close. If anything unexpected turns up, you hear about it immediately.
Step 5: Finish and walkthrough
Tile, fixtures and trim go in. Every fixture is turned on and every drain is verified before the project is closed out.

Bathroom Remodeling in the East Valley
Across Gilbert, Chandler and Queen Creek, many bathrooms are original to homes built from the 1990s on. The pipes are usually newer PEX or copper, but the valves, fixtures and surrounds are basic, and hard water has worn them down.
In homes built before about 1980, the drains under the floor deserve a closer look first. Our older-home bathroom remodeling service starts with that inspection before any design work is locked in.
The best time to call a plumber about your remodel is before you've finalized the design. The second best time is right now.

Common Questions
- Who does bathroom remodeling in the East Valley with the plumbing included?
- Renova Plumbing & Drain is a licensed plumber and general contractor serving Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe and Scottsdale. It plans the layout, runs the drains and supply lines, and builds the finished bathroom with one team, so the plumbing and the tile are never handled by strangers to each other.
- Can I move my toilet or shower during a bathroom remodel?
- Usually, yes. Moving a toilet or shower means new drain and supply routes, and in most East Valley homes the drains run under a concrete slab. That adds work, so it should be planned before the design is final. A plumber can tell you what the move involves before you commit.
- Should I upgrade the shower valve when I remodel my bathroom?
- In most cases, yes. The valve sits inside the wall, so the remodel is the easiest time to replace it. A new pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve holds a steadier temperature. Replacing it later means cutting into new tile, which costs far more than doing it now.
Frequently Asked Questions
A simple fixture and valve update can take a day or two. A full remodel usually takes several weeks, depending on the scope and whether any drains move. Every project is scoped upfront and scheduled in phases, so you know the timeline before work starts and hear right away if anything changes.
Either. Renova is a licensed plumber and general contractor, so it can build the whole bathroom from start to finish. If you already have a general contractor you like, Renova can join your team as the plumbing partner and coordinate the schedule directly with them.
Remodel plumbing often needs a permit, especially when fixtures, drains or supply lines move. The rules come from your city, so check with Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe or Scottsdale for your project. Renova coordinates the permit for the plumbing scope and leaves the work ready for inspection.
The main factors are whether fixtures move, room size, the shower and tub you choose, and your tile, valve and vanity selections. Moving a drain through the slab adds cost. A free visual estimate follows a site visit, before anything is committed. If diagnosing the problem needs tools, camera work, testing or disassembly, a diagnostic fee may apply.
Not the one being remodeled, but if you have a second bathroom the rest of the house works normally. Water may be shut off for short periods during plumbing work, and we plan those around your schedule. If you only have one bathroom, we talk through timing before starting.
As early as possible, ideally before your design is final. Layout decisions that look simple can have big plumbing consequences. Remodel projects also book out, sometimes several weeks. Calling early lets us flag problems, give you a clear scope, and hold your spot on the schedule.
