Bathroom Remodeling in Oxford, MS

In Oxford and Lafayette County, a professional bathroom remodel typically runs between $15,000 and $65,000 depending on scope. A mid-range primary bath refresh — new tile, vanity, fixtures, and updated plumbing trim — falls in the $15,000–$30,000 range. A full gut renovation with custom tile shower, new layout, frameless glass enclosure, and premium finishes moves into the $40,000–$65,000+ range. TAV Construction provides detailed, line-item written estimates before any work begins so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Yes — in almost every case. Fiberglass and acrylic inserts have a 15–20 year lifespan and degrade visibly over time: they yellow, crack, and lose their finish. Custom porcelain or ceramic tile, properly installed over a waterproofed substrate, can last the life of the home. Tile also allows for superior waterproofing systems like Schluter KERDI that virtually eliminate the risk of moisture intrusion behind the wall. From a resale standpoint, custom tile commands measurably higher buyer interest in the Oxford market.

A standard bathroom remodel in Oxford takes 2–4 weeks from demo to completion. Cosmetic updates — tile replacement, vanity swap, new fixtures — are on the shorter end. Full gut renovations involving layout changes, new plumbing rough-in, or structural modifications can extend to 5–6 weeks. TAV Construction provides a project schedule upfront and stages work to minimize the time your bathroom is out of service.

Yes — aging-in-place modifications are among our most-requested projects across North Mississippi. We install curbless (zero-entry) shower floors, low-profile linear drains, fold-down teak benches, and structurally reinforced grab bar blocking during the tile phase so hardware can be added without future demo. All accessibility work meets or exceeds ADA guidelines and Lafayette County building code.

Porcelain tile is the top recommendation for Mississippi bathrooms. Its water absorption rate is under 0.5%, making it highly resistant to the humidity swings common in North Mississippi summers. For wet zones, choose a textured or matte finish (COF of 0.6 or higher) to reduce slip risk. In half-baths or powder rooms, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is a cost-effective, fully waterproof alternative. TAV Construction carries samples and can walk you through the options during your estimate.

Permits are required for any work involving structural changes, plumbing re-routing, or electrical modifications in Oxford and Lafayette County. Cosmetic updates — like replacing a vanity or retiling within the existing footprint — typically do not require a permit. TAV Construction handles all permit documentation and inspections as part of your project, so you never have to deal with the municipality directly.

Yes, and we recommend planning niches during the tile phase rather than adding them later. We frame the niche opening, waterproof all interior surfaces with a bonded membrane, and tile it to match the shower surround. Standard niches are 12 inches wide by 24 inches tall to align with tile grout lines. We also do multi-tier niches and corner shelves. Attempting a niche post-installation risks cutting into the waterproofing layer — so it's always best to plan it from the start.

Paint-ready means the transition zone between your tile and the painted wall surface is finished to Level 4 or Level 5 drywall standards — fully taped, mudded, and sanded smooth with no tool marks or ridges. This is the finishing step most contractors skip, leaving homeowners to find and pay a separate painter just to get the wall ready. TAV Construction delivers the entire bathroom to paint-ready condition so you can bring in a painter or paint it yourself without any prep work.
