When the homeowners first walked us through this bathroom, the issues were obvious. Dated tile from the early 90s, a tub‑shower combo nobody used, and a single sink that caused morning traffic jams. They wanted something practical—a space that worked for two people getting ready at the same time without feeling like a hotel lobby.
After three decades of bathroom renovations across Greater Cincinnati, we've learned that most people don't want trendy. They want comfortable, functional, and built to last. That's exactly what we delivered here.
The original bathroom had a standard tub‑shower combination that took up valuable floor space. Since neither homeowner ever used the tub, we removed it entirely and installed a curbless walk‑in shower with a frameless glass enclosure. This single change made the room feel significantly larger.
We relocated the toilet to a more private corner and extended the vanity wall to accommodate a 60‑inch double vanity. The new layout gives each person their own sink, their own storage, and enough elbow room to actually use it all.
The homeowners chose a neutral color palette—warm grays and soft whites—that won't feel dated in ten years. Here's what we installed:
We added several features that make daily use easier. A recessed niche in the shower holds shampoo bottles without cluttering the floor. The vanity includes soft‑close drawers and a pull‑out organizer for hair dryers and styling tools. We installed an exhaust fan with a humidity sensor that turns on automatically—something that prevents mold and keeps the mirror from fogging.
The heated floor wasn't in the original plan, but once we had the subfloor exposed, the homeowners decided to add it. In a Cincinnati winter, stepping onto warm tile makes a real difference.
This renovation took about four weeks from demo to final walkthrough. We handled all the plumbing relocation, electrical updates, tile work, and finish carpentry in‑house. Our 15‑year warranty covers the workmanship, so if anything we installed fails, we come back and fix it.
If your bathroom has similar problems—not enough counter space, a shower that feels cramped, or finishes that belong in another decade—we'd be glad to take a look. Scheffer Construction has completed over 465 renovations for homeowners in Mason, Loveland, Lebanon, Maineville, and throughout Greater Cincinnati.
