Custom Bathroom Remodeling in Taylor, MS
From walk-in shower conversions to full master suite renovations, TAV Construction delivers precision tile work and leak-proof waterproofing for Taylor homeowners.
Taylor, MS homeowners expect craftsmanship that holds up to Mississippi humidity and stands out in Lafayette County's competitive real estate market. TAV Construction specializes in bathroom remodels that combine design-forward tile work, professional-grade waterproofing, and finish carpentry — delivering master suite renovations and tub-to-shower conversions that last decades, not seasons.
Whether you're converting a dated fiberglass tub to a frameless walk-in shower, upgrading a guest bath with new tile and vanity, or tackling a full primary suite renovation, our team manages the entire project from demolition through final inspection — so you're never coordinating between separate plumbers, tile setters, and finish carpenters.
Luxury Bath Renovations and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Walk-in showers are the single most-requested bathroom upgrade among Taylor homeowners, and for good reason: a well-executed conversion transforms how the room looks, how it functions, and how it performs at resale. TAV Construction brings the same tile-setting discipline to tub-to-shower conversions that we apply to custom commercial installations — Schluter KERDI waterproofing, properly sloped mortar beds, and precision-cut tile work that won't crack or leak under Lafayette County conditions.
Walk-In Shower Conversions
We remove the existing tub and surround down to the studs, upgrade the drain line to code, install a fully bonded waterproofing system, and set tile over a properly prepared substrate. Frameless glass is ordered before demo begins to eliminate the most common cause of project delays.
Custom Tile Layouts
Herringbone, large-format subway, stacked vertical, and chevron patterns — our tile setters execute complex layouts with precision cuts around niches, valves, and architectural features. No shortcuts on the field tile alignment that make patterns look off-center.
Vanity and Fixture Upgrades
A remodel is the right time to coordinate vanity height, lighting placement, and mirror sizing for the space. TAV Construction handles cabinet installation, plumbing fixture trim-out, and GFCI electrical so the finish looks intentional rather than assembled from separate contractors.
Master Suite Renovation
For full primary suite projects, we manage scope across shower conversion, flooring, vanity, lighting, and any structural changes — delivering a single-contract project with one point of accountability from demolition to final walkthrough.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion: What's Included
- Demo Full removal of tub, fiberglass or tile surround, and backer material. Framing inspection for moisture damage before any new material goes in.
- Plumbing Drain upgrade from 1.5-inch tub drain to 2-inch shower drain per Lafayette County code. P-trap repositioning and slope verification before substrate installation.
- Waterproofing Schluter KERDI sheet membrane or Wedi board system — fully bonded, not reliant on a sloped mortar bed alone. Every shower TAV builds is waterproofed before the first tile is set.
- Tile Floor, walls, niche, and any accent or listello work. Large-format porcelain, natural stone, Zellige, or standard ceramic — we work with your material selection.
- Glass Frameless tempered glass doors and panels measured to custom dimensions after tile is complete. Ordered at project start to minimize fabrication lead-time delays.
Precision Tile and Waterproofing for Taylor Homeowners
The visible part of a tile remodel — the pattern, the grout color, the finish — is only as good as what's underneath it. In Taylor's climate, where high humidity and temperature swings stress building materials year-round, the substrate and waterproofing layer are what separate a bathroom that looks great for six months from one that looks great for twenty years. TAV Construction uses professional-grade systems on every job, regardless of budget.
Schluter-KERDI & Wedi Systems
Both systems create a waterproof assembly at the surface — water never reaches the framing. Manufacturer-warranted for 10–15 years, they eliminate the efflorescence and grout cracking caused by moisture migration through conventional cement board.
Integrated Niches & Linear Drains
Recessed niches require precise framing, waterproofing at every corner, and tile that reads as an intentional design element. Linear drains require exact floor slope in a single direction — both are details we execute correctly the first time.
Premium Material Selection
We install Marble, Zellige, large-format rectified porcelain, and high-durability ceramic across Taylor projects. Material-specific installation techniques — especially for Zellige's handmade dimensional variation — are part of our standard scope, not an upcharge.
Subfloor Preparation in Taylor Properties
Many Taylor homes have wood-frame construction with subfloors that deflect more than tile can tolerate — particularly in homes built before 2000. TAV Construction assesses subfloor stiffness before any tile work begins. When deflection exceeds L/360, we install an uncoupling membrane (Schluter DITRA) that decouples the tile layer from subfloor movement, preventing the grout cracking and hollow spots that appear 12–18 months after a DIY or cut-corner installation.
In historic Taylor properties, we also evaluate whether the existing plumbing can support the weight of a mortar bed and stone tile — and flag any needed upgrades before they become mid-project surprises.
Turnkey Project Management
TAV Construction manages the full renovation from demolition through final punch-out. That means we coordinate the tile setter, plumber, electrician, and glass installer — you're not tracking four separate subcontractors or absorbing the delays that happen when they don't communicate. A single project manager is your point of contact from the first estimate through the final walkthrough.
Typical Taylor Bathroom Renovation Timeline
- Days 1–2: Demo and removal. Framing and plumbing inspection. Drain rough-in upgrade if converting from tub.
- Days 3–4: Substrate installation. Waterproofing membrane, cement board, or uncoupling layer. Niche framing and linear drain channel if applicable.
- Days 5–8: Tile setting — floor, walls, accents, and niche. Built-in cure time for grout before glass measurement.
- Days 9–10: Vanity, fixture trim-out, lighting, and accessory installation. Final caulking and grout sealing.
- Week 3–4: Custom glass installation (fabricated during tile phase to eliminate waiting).

Bathroom Remodeling in Taylor, MS: Common Questions
Answers to what Taylor and Lafayette County homeowners ask most before starting a bathroom remodel.
1How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Taylor, MS?
Bathroom remodel costs in Taylor depend heavily on scope and material selections. A guest bath refresh — new tile, vanity, and fixtures — typically runs $4,000–$8,000. A full primary suite renovation with custom tile shower, frameless glass, double vanity, and heated flooring can reach $15,000–$25,000 or more. The single biggest cost driver is tile: labor-intensive patterns like herringbone and large-format porcelain add 20–35% versus a straight-lay field tile.
2What is involved in a tub-to-shower conversion?
A tub-to-shower conversion starts with full removal of the existing tub, fiberglass surround, and backer material down to the studs. We then upgrade the drain from a 1.5-inch tub drain to a code-compliant 2-inch shower drain, install a pre-slope mortar bed or linear-drain channel, apply a fully bonded waterproofing membrane (Schluter KERDI or Wedi), and set tile over the prepared substrate. Frameless glass is measured after tile is complete and fabricated to custom dimensions — typically a 2–4 week lead time.
3How long will my Taylor bathroom renovation take?
A standard guest bath refresh runs 7–10 business days on-site. A custom master suite with tub-to-shower conversion, new flooring, and vanity work is typically 3–4 weeks — the largest variable is custom glass fabrication lead time and any special-order tile. TAV Construction orders materials before demolition begins to minimize the window your bathroom is out of service.
4Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Lafayette County?
Yes — any work involving plumbing modifications (drain relocation, new supply lines) or electrical upgrades (GFCI outlets, exhaust fans, heated floors) requires a permit from Lafayette County Building and Zoning. TAV Construction handles permit pulling and coordinates inspections as part of the project scope. Unpermitted plumbing and electrical work can surface during a home sale and create significant liability.
5Can you replace a fiberglass shower with real tile?
Replacing a fiberglass insert with custom porcelain or natural stone tile is one of the most common remodel services TAV Construction performs in Taylor and Lafayette County. The key is full substrate preparation: we remove the insert completely, inspect the framing for moisture damage, install cement board or a waterproofing membrane, and set tile over a properly prepared surface. Cutting corners on the substrate is the primary cause of cracked grout and water damage behind tile walls.
6What are the best tiles for a small bathroom?
For small bathrooms, large-format tiles (12×24 or 24×48) with fewer grout lines create a cleaner, more expansive look than mosaic or small field tiles. Light-toned porcelain — warm whites, soft greiges, and pale stone-looks — reflect light and make the space feel larger. For the floor, choose tiles rated COF 0.42 or higher for slip resistance in wet areas. Rectified tiles (precision-cut edges) allow tight grout joints that reduce visual busyness in compact spaces.
7Do you handle small kitchen remodels in Taylor as well?
Yes — TAV Construction handles kitchen finishing work including backsplash installation, flooring replacement, cabinet hardware updates, and interior trim. Many bathroom and kitchen projects are coordinated together to share material selections and streamline the jobsite schedule. If you're planning multiple rooms, ask about combining the scope into a single project estimate.
8What waterproofing system do you use for showers?
TAV Construction installs Schluter-KERDI sheet membrane and Wedi board systems as standard on all custom tile showers. Both are fully bonded waterproofing systems — meaning they stop water at the surface rather than relying on a sloped mortar bed alone. These systems carry manufacturer warranties of 10–15 years and, when installed correctly, eliminate the mold and efflorescence problems common in older mud-set shower pans. We avoid paper-faced cement board as the sole waterproofing layer.
