What Is the Difference Between Wet Area Bathroom Remodels and Full Bathroom Remodels?

Would you love to remodel your bathroom but aren’t quite sure where to start? There are two main types of bathroom remodels: wet area remodels and full bathroom remodels. Each option is explained below, along with some pros and cons of each. 

Full Bathroom Remodels

As the name implies, a full bathroom remodel typically involves updating all features, including tub or shower, counters, cabinets, flooring, lighting, and more. 

Pros

One of the benefits of this type of remodel is that you can fully transform the space and choose every feature of the update. It’s a good choice for a very outdated bathroom or one in which the homeowner isn’t happy with the layout or overall design of the space. 

Cons

A full bathroom remodel can be quite expensive, depending on the materials selected and the size of the bathroom. 

It can also take a few weeks or even longer to complete a full bathroom remodel. Being without use of the bathroom—especially if you only have one—can be a great inconvenience. 

Wet Area Bathroom Remodels 

A wet area bathroom remodel involves replacing the existing tub or shower, or completing a bathroom conversion in which a tub is swapped for a shower or vice versa. 

Pros

A wet area bathroom remodel can be completed in as little as one day and for much less than the cost of a full remodel. 

If you need a way to improve accessibility, a wet area bathroom remodel can solve that issue, too. Swap your existing tub or shower for a walk-in tub or roll-in shower to get the enhanced safety you need.
