Full remodel
Full Bathroom Remodels, Down to the Studs
A full Brookfield bathroom remodel strips the room to the studs and rebuilds the layout, shower, vanity, tile and lighting, fixing the minimum-slope drains, attic-vented fans and soft toilet subfloor that 1960s to 1980s builders left, all inspected before the walls close.
Scope
Studs-out, new layout
Typical cost
$12k–$35k, layout changes $27k–$55k+
Timeline
3 to 5 weeks plus review
Primary suite
Primary (Master) Bathroom Remodels and Expansions
Brookfield master bath remodels usually start with space. The typical 1970s or 1980s colonial primary bath is about 5 by 9 with one sink, so T and J borrows closet or bedroom space through a non-bearing wall for a double vanity and walk-in shower.
Space
Borrowed from closet or bedroom
Fixtures
Double vanity, separate shower
Walls
Non-bearing walls relocated
Showers
Walk-In Shower Installation and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
T and J swaps the fiberglass tub unit common in Brookfield hall baths for a tiled walk-in shower in the same 60-inch alcove, on a sloped mortar bed, bonded membrane and cement board, with every pan flood-tested for 24 hours.
Pans
Mortar bed under a bonded membrane
Walls
Porcelain on cement board
Glass
Frameless panel or sliding door
Basement bath
Basement Bathroom Additions
T and J adds full and half baths to Brookfield basements, often during a lower-level finish. The free measure locates the main drain, and the written price covers the drain tie-in, an outside-vented fan and the plumbing permit.
Options
Full bath or half bath
Drain
Route priced before work
Permit
Plumbing rough-in inspected
Accessibility
Curbless Showers and Accessible Bathroom Remodels
T and J builds curbless showers and aging-in-place bathrooms in Brookfield, where single-level ranches adapt most easily. Pans drop between joists for zero-threshold entry, tile blocking takes grab bars now or later, and doorways widen where framing allows.
Entry
Zero-step shower entry
Support
Grab-bar backing in the walls
Fixtures
Tall toilet, handheld spray, shower bench
Refresh
Vanity, Countertop and Lighting Updates
When the layout works, a Brookfield bathroom refresh replaces the vanity, quartz top, toilet, faucets, flooring and lighting without moving plumbing, in 7 to 10 days for $6,500 to $18,000, with GFCI outlets and a room-sized exhaust fan.
Vanity
Quartz top, single or double sink
Lights
LED vanity and shower lighting

Brookfield pricing
How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Brookfield?
A Brookfield bathroom remodel runs $6,500 to $55,000 and up, from a refresh to a full layout change, and most T and J projects land between $20,000 and $32,000. Basement baths price above same-size hall baths because slab cutting, an ejector and venting come first. See the Brookfield bathroom remodel cost breakdown.

What sets the price
What Drives Brookfield Bathroom Remodel Pricing?
Drain location, wall changes, the shower build and the permitting municipality set a Brookfield bathroom’s price. Fiberglass tub units, attic-vented fans and soft toilet subfloor are the usual add-ons in 1960s to 1980s ranches, split-levels and colonials, recorded at the free measure.
Housing
1960s–80s
Ranches, split-levels and colonials, with fiberglass tub units and a basement often waiting for a third bath.
Room offline
1–5 weeks
Most Brookfield houses have a second bathroom, so one stays in use while the other is rebuilt.

The build
How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take in Brookfield?
A full Brookfield bathroom remodel takes three to five weeks of construction plus permit review, a vanity and lighting refresh about 7 to 10 days, and a basement bathroom addition about a week more for drain work.

Measure and plumbing check

Brookfield permits
Which Brookfield Bathroom Projects Need a Permit?
A Brookfield bathroom needs a permit whenever a toilet, shower or drain moves, a bathroom is added or new circuits go in. A Wisconsin-licensed plumber pulls it, and the City or Town inspector sees the piping open before drywall.
Permits come from City of Brookfield Inspection Services at 2000 N Calhoun Road or, for Town parcels, the Town office at 645 N Janacek Road, and T and J files with the right one. See the Wisconsin bathroom plumbing permit guide for state rules.

Adding a basement bathroom
Plumbing permit; ejector or slab cut inspected.
Required

Bathroom sizes
Which Bathroom Layout Fits Your Brookfield Home?
Most Brookfield bathrooms fit one of five builder footprints, from the 5 by 8 hall bath with a 60-inch alcove to split-level landing baths, and each has a practical limit on what fits. See more small bathroom layouts.
Standard 5 by 8 hall bath
Most common in Brookfield. The 60-inch alcove holds a tub or a tiled walk-in, opposite a single vanity and linen closet.
5 by 9 primary bath
Fiberglass unit out, tiled shower in. A double vanity fits once the wall moves into the closet.
Basement bath
Layout follows the drain. T and J confirms the drain route at the free measure, then fits the shower, vanity and toilet around it.
Powder room
Under 20 square feet beside the entry. Wall-hung or pedestal basin, no shower, still needs a fan.
Split-level landing bath
Half a story up, over living space. Waterproofing and floor build-up matter more than square footage.
Tile, tops and cabinets
Which Tile, Tops and Vanities Suit a Brookfield Bathroom?
Porcelain tile and quartz tops suit most Brookfield bathrooms because neither absorbs water or needs sealing, and below grade the flooring choice narrows to porcelain tile or rigid-core vinyl plank.
Porcelain tile
Absorbs almost no water, so it is the pick for basement floors and every shower wall.
Ceramic tile
Lighter and cheaper on surrounds above grade, not the choice below it.
Natural stone
Marble and slate looks, resealed every 6 to 12 months and kept out of damp basements.
Solid surface
Seamless panels with no grout lines, useful where cleaning access is tight.
Quartz tops
Non-porous and never sealed, the standard vanity top in Brookfield remodels.
Cultured marble
Cast top with the bowl formed in, no seam at the basin.
Shaker vanities
Fits a Brookfield colonial or ranch, painted or stained.
Floating vanities
Clears the floor for a curbless entry and makes a small room look larger.

Common questions
Bathroom Remodeling Questions From Brookfield Homeowners
Ask T and J about your Brookfield bathroom: (262) 352-9525.
What does a full bathroom remodel include?
A full bathroom remodel includes everything from the studs in, from demolition, plumbing and wiring through waterproofing, tile, vanity, toilet, shower glass, lighting, exhaust fan, paint, permits and inspections. T and J itemizes each in one written Brookfield price.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel in Brookfield?
The shower is usually the most expensive part, because tile labor, the waterproofed pan, glass and valve trim outpace the vanity and toilet. Moving a drain adds plumbing cost, so T and J keeps fixtures in place where possible, holding most T and J Brookfield bathrooms at $20,000 to $32,000.
Does a bathroom remodel increase home value?
Yes, a bathroom remodel adds resale value, though rarely its full cost. Remodeling magazine’s 2025 Cost vs Value report puts midrange bathroom remodels near 80 percent recouped nationally and upscale ones near 42 percent, so T and J steers Brookfield owners toward porcelain, quartz and a tested shower.
Is it worth converting a tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, in most primary bathrooms, if one tub stays in the house for families with young children. In Brookfield, T and J usually swaps the primary bath’s fiberglass unit for a tiled, flood-tested shower and keeps the hall bath tub.
Can a small master bathroom be made bigger in Brookfield?
Usually, yes. A Brookfield primary (master) bath most often grows into the adjoining closet or a bedroom corner through a non-bearing wall, fitting a double vanity and walk-in shower. The City or Town inspects the framing, and T and J prices it as a full rebuild.
How do I choose a bathroom remodeling contractor in Brookfield?
Pick a licensed, insured contractor who pulls plumbing and electrical permits with the City or Town, flood-tests every shower and fixes the price in writing after seeing the room. T and J All In Remodeling does all four, owner-led, rated 4.9 from 60+ Google reviews and BBB A+.
