When people say bathroom remodel they can mean two very different projects. One is a focused one day system update, where the tub or shower and walls are replaced quickly. The other is a full traditional remodel that rebuilds the entire room. Knowing which you actually need saves time and money.
| One day bath system | Traditional full remodel | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Tub or shower, walls, fixtures | Whole room, layout, flooring, vanity |
| Timeline | As little as 1 day | 1 to 3 weeks |
| Mess and downtime | Low, no demolition mess | Higher, room out of use |
| Typical range | $14,000 to $25,000 | $20,000 to $45,000 |
| Best for | Safety, quick refresh, easy care | Changing layout or a full redo |
If your main goal is a safer, cleaner, better looking bath or shower without living through a long renovation, a one day system is the efficient path. Our trained team removes the old unit and installs a new low maintenance tub or shower, often in a single day, so the space is back in use fast.
If you want to move walls, relocate plumbing, replace flooring and the vanity, or completely change the layout, that is a full remodel. It takes longer and costs more, but it is the right call when the whole room needs to change, not just the tub or shower.
Start with the goal. Safer and easier bathing, an easier to clean shower, or a fresh look usually means a one day system. A different floor plan or a top to bottom redo means a full remodel. Tubbs by Grubbs does both and will tell you honestly which fits your bathroom and budget during a free in home visit.
The centerpiece, a new tub or shower and walls, is often installed in as little as one day when it keeps the existing footprint. A full remodel that changes the layout takes longer. We give you a firm timeline in your written quote.
No. A one day system uses durable, low maintenance materials installed by trained professionals and backed by a lifetime product warranty and a 2 year labor warranty. It is faster because the scope is focused, not because the work is rushed.
Both help. A clean, safe, low maintenance bath or shower appeals to buyers, and a full remodel can modernize a dated room. We help you spend where it counts for your goals.

Yes, a one day shower remodel is usually worth it when the goal is a safer, easier to clean shower, because Tubbs by Grubbs' published price table lists a one day bath system at $14,000 to $25,000 against $20,000 to $45,000 for a traditional full remodel. The one day system replaces the tub or shower, the surrounding walls and the fixtures, and installation can take as little as 1 day with no demolition mess. A traditional remodel covers the whole room, including layout, flooring and vanity, and keeps the bathroom out of use for 1 to 3 weeks. The number moves with scope: moving plumbing, changing the room layout, adding a new vanity or replacing flooring pushes a project toward the traditional tier, while a straight swap of the tub or shower stays in the one day range. Wall size, fixture choices and added features such as a walk in or accessible design also change the price. The system uses durable, low maintenance materials and carries a lifetime product warranty and a 2 year labor warranty, so it is not a lower quality option. It is not the right fit if you want the room itself redesigned, a choice Tubbs by Grubbs' own crews can quote in writing.
A one day bathroom remodel in Louisiana typically costs $14,000 to $25,000, according to Tubbs by Grubbs' published price table, compared with $20,000 to $45,000 for a traditional full remodel. The one day system replaces the tub or shower, the surrounding walls and the fixtures, and installation can take as little as 1 day with no demolition mess. A traditional remodel covers the whole room, including layout, flooring and vanity, and keeps the bathroom out of use for 1 to 3 weeks. Price within the one day range moves with scope: converting a tub to a walk in shower, adding a walk in tub, or choosing grab bars, a seat and a low threshold for accessibility pushes the total toward the upper end, while a straight bathtub replacement in the same footprint stays lower. Moving plumbing, changing the layout or replacing flooring shifts the project into the traditional tier. The written quote includes a firm timeline, and the installation is done by the company's own crews.
