What a Lannon Bathroom Remodel Involves
Lannon is a small village of modest mid-century houses, and the bathrooms are compact. Whether one works has almost nothing to do with the finishes and almost everything to do with the clearances around each fixture.
Investment
$12k–$32k+
A refresh inside the existing footprint through to a studs-out rebuild with the layout corrected.
Out of service
1–4 weeks
Many Lannon houses have one full bathroom, so the sequence is built around the shortest possible closure.
Clearances
What decides it
Fifteen inches from a toilet centreline to any wall, twenty-one in front of it, thirty inches for a shower. Below those numbers a room is a squeeze forever.
Our Lannon scope
What T And J Builds in Lannon Bathrooms
T And J rebuilds every part of a Lannon bathroom: layout and clearances, showers and pans, vanities, tile, extract, lighting and accessible fit-outs.
Clearances
The numbers that make a room work
A toilet needs fifteen inches from its centreline to a wall or a vanity on either side, and twenty-one inches of clear space in front of it. A shower needs a thirty by thirty footprint at minimum and is far better at thirty-six. In a compact Lannon bathroom, meeting those is what separates a room that works from one that merely fits.
Centreline
15 in to any wall or cabinet
In front
21 in of clear floor
Shower
30 by 30 minimum, 36 far better
Doors
Swings, pockets and clear floor
An inward-swinging door in a compact bathroom takes a quarter of the floor out of use and often lands on the toilet. Rehanging it to swing out, converting to a pocket door, or moving the hinge side costs little during a rebuild and buys back floor nothing else will.
Outward
Simplest, frees the whole swing
Best result, needs a clear stud bay
Hinge side
Sometimes all that is needed
Reordering
Moving fixtures to gain clearance
Where clearances cannot be met as the room stands, the answer is usually swapping two fixtures rather than moving a wall. Trading the toilet and the vanity positions, or moving the basin along the wet wall, often gains the six inches that makes the difference: and stays on the same waste run.
Swap
Toilet and vanity positions traded
Slide
Basin moved along the wet wall
Stack
Everything stays on the same run
Full rebuild
Back-to-framing bathroom rebuild
Stripping a Lannon bathroom to studs shows the mid-century picture: a vent that stops in the cavity, galvanised branches, and a subfloor gone soft around a flange that has been weeping for years.
Reach
Studs and subfloor
Systems
Supply, waste, vent, power
Sign-off
Rough-in before board
Showers
Tub-to-shower conversions
Trading a 60 inch tub for a tiled walk-in in the same alcove gives a far more usable shower and, with a fixed panel instead of a curtain or a swinging door, gives back floor as well. The pan is built on a sloped bed with a bonded membrane and tested for a full day before tile.
Base
Mortar bed with bonded membrane
Surrounds
Porcelain, ceramic, stone
Enclosure
Fixed panel rather than a door
Fit-out
Extract, lighting and fixtures
A compact room needs its extract sized properly and its lighting kept off the walls that people pass. Recessed lighting, a mirror cabinet rather than a projecting fitting, and GFCI-protected circuits throughout.
Extract
Sized and ducted to open air
Lighting
Recessed, nothing projecting
Circuits
GFCI, on its own permit

What it costs
How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Lannon?

Surfaces and vanities
Which Wet-Area Surfaces Suit a Lannon Bathroom?
In a compact room the surface has to keep the space light and nothing is allowed to project into a clearance that is already tight.
Porcelain tile
Pale and low absorption, over a bonded membrane. The default here.
Ceramic tile
Fine on a dry wall, and cheaper across a small surround.
Natural stone
Visually heavy in a small room and porous. Threshold at most.
Solid surround
No grout lines and no shelf projecting into the shower footprint.
Shallow vanity
16 to 18 inches deep, which is the difference between passing and squeezing.
Mirror cabinet
Recessed rather than surface-mounted, so nothing sticks out at head height.
Fixed glass panel
Nothing swings, which in a compact bathroom is worth more than a full enclosure.
Pocket door
Returns the entire door swing to the room. The biggest single gain available.

| Surface | Clearance gained | Projects into the room | Upkeep | Best for in Lannon |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Outward-swing door rehung | Whole swing back | Nothing inside | None | Where a pocket will not fit |
| Shallow vanity 16–18 in | 3 to 5 in of floor | Less than a 21 in unit | Wipe down | Every compact room |
| Wall-hung basin no pedestal | Clears the corner | Minimal | Wipe down | The tightest layouts |
| Compact pan short projection | 3 to 4 in of floor | Standard | Standard | Rooms under 5 by 7 |
| Fixed glass panel no door | Nothing swings | Nothing | Squeegee after use | Converted tub alcoves |

| Solid surround acrylic | No projecting shelf | Nothing | Wipe down only | Small showers |
Bathroom sizes
What Fits in a Lannon Bathroom?
Lannon rooms are modest and mid-century. What fits is decided by clearances rather than by square footage, and the numbers are the same in every one.
5 by 7 hall bath
Tub or walk-in on the short wall, basin and toilet opposite. Clearances are tight.
5 by 8 hall bath
An extra foot, usually spent on a proper vanity rather than a bigger shower.
Under 5 by 7
Found in the older village houses. Shallow fixtures and a pocket door.
Powder room
Under 20 square feet. Still needs 21 inches in front of the toilet.
Split-level bath
Half a storey up and over living space. Waterproofing matters as much as layout.
Lannon permits
Do You Need a Permit for a Bathroom Remodel in Lannon?
Yes, once plumbing moves or circuits are added. The Village of Lannon issues the permits and a licensed plumber files the plumbing application.
A Lannon address can sit in the village, the Town of Lisbon or Menomonee Falls, and each permits separately. Moving a toilet to gain clearance is plumbing work and is inspected at rough-in. T And J confirms the jurisdiction before quoting.

The build
How a Lannon Bathroom Build Runs
A full Lannon bathroom runs three to four weeks plus village review. Compact rooms strip out fast, but only one trade fits at a time, so the sequence is tight rather than short.

First visit
Measure the clearances, not just the room
The room is measured across every fixture position, because whether the clearances can be met is what decides the layout before any finish is discussed.
No charge, at your house
Weeks 1 to 2
Selections and fixed price
Fixture sizes, door type and tile are chosen against the measured clearances, and the quote issued afterwards is the number the job is built to.
No money down
Review time
Village filing
The plumbing application goes in while fixtures and glass are ordered, so the two run side by side.
Handled by T And J
Weeks 1 to 2
Strip out, rough-in, inspection
The room comes back to studs, fixtures are reordered on the existing run, the door is rehung or pocketed, and rough-in is signed before board.

Membrane, test, tile, handover
The bed is sloped, the membrane bonded and held under water for a full day, then tile and fit-out follow and the room is handed back under written warranty.

Common questions
Lannon Bathroom Remodeling FAQ
Call (262) 352-9525 to talk through a specific Lannon bathroom.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Lannon?
Between $12,000 and $32,000. A refresh runs $12,000 to $16,000. A rebuild with the clearances corrected, the tub converted to a tiled walk-in and the door rehung or pocketed runs $18,000 to $26,000. Studs-out work with fixtures reordered and services renewed starts around $32,000. Compact rooms take less tile and fewer fixtures, so the band is lower here. Fixed in writing before demolition.
How much space does a toilet actually need?
Fifteen inches from the centreline of the pan to a wall, a vanity or anything else on either side, so thirty inches of clear width in total, and twenty-one inches of clear floor in front of it. Below those the room is usable but permanently uncomfortable, and in a compact Lannon bathroom that is exactly what has usually been built.
How small can a shower be and still work?
Thirty by thirty inches is the practical minimum and it feels like it: you cannot bend to pick up a dropped bottle without touching two walls. Thirty-six by thirty-six is where a shower starts being pleasant. The good news is that a standard 60 inch tub alcove converts to a 30 by 60 shower, which is more generous than most people expect.
Should the bathroom door swing out or pocket?
Either is better than inward. An inward swing takes a quarter of the floor out of use permanently and in a small bathroom often collides with the toilet. Swinging it outward is the cheap fix and costs nothing but a rehang. A pocket door is the better result, it returns the entire swing to the room, but it needs a stud bay clear of wiring, waste and load to slide into.
How long will the bathroom be out of use?
Two to four weeks. A refresh closes the room for seven to ten working days. A rebuild with the layout corrected runs about three weeks, including the full day the pan sits under test. Studs-out work runs three to four weeks plus review. Where the house has only one bathroom, the sequence is tightened as far as the inspections allow.
Can clearances be fixed without moving a wall?
Usually, and that is the first thing looked at. Swapping the toilet and vanity positions, or sliding the basin along the same wet wall, frequently gains the six inches that makes every clearance work: and because everything stays on the existing waste run, it costs a fraction of moving a wall. Moving walls is the last resort here, not the first idea.
Am I in the Village of Lannon or the Town of Lisbon?
It could be either, or Menomonee Falls. All three cover parts of the area and each issues its own permits with its own fees and review times. A Lannon mailing address does not settle it, so the parcel is checked before a quote is written rather than after the work is sold.
Which areas near Lannon do you cover?
Sussex, Menomonee Falls, Butler and Lisbon sit around Lannon, with Brookfield, Elm Grove and Wauwatosa south, and Pewaukee, Hartland and Waukesha west. One crew covers all of them from the Brookfield yard.
