Bathroom Remodeling in Philadelphia, PA & Cherry Hill, NJ
Showers, vanities, tile, plumbing, and full bathroom renovations — from a licensed contractor with 33+ years of experience. Free estimates available.
GRM LLC provides bathroom remodeling services for homeowners and commercial property owners in Philadelphia, PA, Cherry Hill, NJ, and surrounding communities.
We handle everything from replacing a single vanity or fixing a leaking shower to gutting the entire bathroom and rebuilding it from the subfloor up. Bathrooms take more daily wear than most rooms in the house. Water, humidity, and heavy use break down grout, warp cabinetry, and age fixtures faster than other spaces.
Our remodels address both the visible upgrades (tile, vanity, lighting) and the structural work behind the walls (plumbing, waterproofing, subfloor repair) so the finished bathroom holds up for years. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate. We assess the current condition of the space, discuss what you want to change, and provide a written quote covering labor, materials, and timeline. No work begins until you approve the price.
If your bathroom has an active leak or water damage, our Shower Repairs team can address the immediate issue before or alongside a full remodel.

What’s Included in a Bathroom Remodel
Most bathroom remodels we handle in Philadelphia and Cherry Hill include some combination of the following:
Vanity & Sink Installation — We remove the old vanity and install a new one with sink, faucet, and countertop. Options range from single-sink wall-mounted units for small bathrooms to double-vanity setups with stone countertops. We handle the plumbing connections and ensure proper drainage.
Shower & Tub Installation — Walk-in showers with glass enclosures, tiled shower surrounds, shower/tub combos, and freestanding tubs. We build the shower pan, waterproof the walls, install the tile or surround panels, and connect the fixtures. If your shower is leaking, see our Shower Repairs page for targeted leak and pipe repair.
Tile Work — Floor tile, wall tile, shower tile, and accent tile. We handle surface prep, layout, cutting, installation, and grouting. Common choices include porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, and large-format tiles. All grout is sealed to prevent moisture penetration.
Plumbing Updates — Replacing old supply lines, waste pipes, shut-off valves, and fixtures. In older Philadelphia homes, galvanized pipes are often corroded and need upgrading to copper or PEX. We handle rough-in plumbing for new layouts when fixtures are being moved.
Flooring
— Slip-resistant tile, vinyl plank, and sheet flooring rated for wet areas. We remove old flooring, inspect the subfloor for water damage, and install new material with proper waterproofing. For more on flooring options,
see our Flooring Installation page.


How a Bathroom Remodel Works
1. Free On-Site Estimate — We visit your bathroom, assess the current condition (plumbing, subfloor, waterproofing, ventilation), and discuss what you want to change. You receive a written quote covering labor, materials, and projected timeline.
2. Material Selection — Once the estimate is approved, we help you select tile, vanity, fixtures, lighting, and hardware. We can source materials or install products you’ve already purchased.
3. Demolition & Prep — Old tile, vanity, toilet, tub/shower, and flooring are removed. We inspect the subfloor and wall framing for moisture damage and repair any compromised areas before new construction begins. Dust barriers protect the rest of your home
.4. Plumbing & Electrical Rough-In — If the layout is changing or fixtures are being relocated, plumbing and electrical are reconfigured before walls are closed up. New supply lines, drain lines, GFCI outlets, and ventilation are installed to code.
5. Construction & Finish Work — Waterproofing membranes are applied, then tile, vanity, countertop, shower enclosure, toilet, lighting, and accessories are installed in sequence. Grout is sealed and silicone caulking is applied at all wet joints.
6. Final Walkthrough & Cleanup — We walk through the finished bathroom with you, test all fixtures and drains, address any final details, and remove all construction debris. The bathroom is ready to use once grout and sealant cure, typically within 24 hours.
Questions Homeowners Ask About Bathroom Remodeling
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A standard bathroom remodel in Philadelphia takes 2 to 4 weeks. Cosmetic updates (new vanity, paint, fixtures) can be completed in under a week. Full gut renovations with layout changes, plumbing rerouting, and custom tile work typically run 4 to 6 weeks. We provide a projected timeline during your estimate.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost?
Costs vary based on the size of the bathroom, materials selected, and scope of work. We provide a written estimate after an on-site assessment so you know exactly what the project will cost before any work begins. No deposits are required to receive a quote.
Is a bathroom remodel worth the investment?
Bathroom renovations consistently rank among the highest-ROI home improvements. Updated bathrooms increase resale value and are one of the first things buyers evaluate when looking at a home.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Philadelphia?
Permits are typically required when plumbing, electrical, or structural changes are involved. Replacing fixtures in the same location usually does not require a permit. We handle permit applications when they’re needed.
Can you remodel a small bathroom?
Yes. Many Philadelphia rowhomes have compact bathrooms with limited floor space. We use space-saving vanities, wall-mounted storage, corner showers, and pocket doors to maximize functionality in tight layouts.
Can I add a walk-in shower instead of a tub?
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most popular requests. A walk-in shower with a glass enclosure opens up floor space and is easier to access, especially for aging-in-place situations.
What if my bathroom has water damage behind the walls?
We inspect the subfloor and wall framing during demolition. If moisture damage, mold, or rot is found, we replace the affected framing, treat for mold, and apply waterproofing before installing new materials. Addressing hidden damage is essential to prevent recurring problems.
Do you remove and haul away the old bathroom materials?
Yes. All old tile, vanity, tub, toilet, and debris are removed from your property as part of the project. You don’t need to arrange separate disposal.
