Project Overview
Mary, a homeowner on Kent's East Hill, came to Oasis Bath Solutions ready to replace a dated master bathroom that still had its original 1980s tile tub and shower combo. She wanted a soaking tub for evening relaxation, a full shower system, and finishes that would hold up without grout to maintain.
Our crew, Johnny and Jimmy, completed the full bathroom remodel in Kent in five days, from tile tear out through final paint. If you are considering a similar project, our Kent bathroom remodeling page has more on what a typical bathroom renovation in Kent looks like.
The Challenge: An Outdated Tile Tub and Shower Combo
From Cracked Tile to a Grout-Free Soaking Tub
Mary's master bathroom still had its original tile tub and shower surround, with grout lines that had cracked and stained over the decades. The layout also lacked a dedicated soaking tub, something Mary had wanted for years.
The project called for a full teardown, not a surface update. Our crew removed the old tile down to the studs, installed new green board, and rebuilt the space around a Pulse alcove soaking tub and a separate shower area finished in Calcutta Brown Tyvarian. For homeowners weighing a full remodel against a smaller update, our bathtub replacement and full bathroom remodel pages walk through the difference in scope.
Before and After
The Result: A Spa-Style Master Bathroom
The finished bathroom centers on a Pulse alcove soaking tub, positioned for a quiet end-of-day soak. Next to it, a separate shower area is finished floor to ceiling in Calcutta Brown Tyvarian, with a built-in stainless steel niche for shampoo and soap.
The Kauai brushed nickel shower system replaced the original single shower head with a full rain and handheld combination. A new quartz vanity countertop and sink brought updated counter space, and LVT flooring replaced the original tile floor throughout the room.
Fresh paint finished the space, tying the new fixtures and flooring together. Every wall surface in the room is now sealed as one grout-free system instead of hundreds of individual tiles.
Full scope of work:
Full tile tear out to the studs
New green board installation
Pulse alcove soaking tub
Calcutta Brown Tyvarian shower walls
Stainless steel built-in niche
Kauai brushed nickel shower system
Quartz vanity countertop and sink
LVT flooring throughout
Fresh paint
Benefits
Results of This Kent Master Bathroom Remodel
No More Grout to Maintain
Tyvarian panels seal as one piece, so there are no grout lines left to crack, stain, or collect mold.
A Dedicated Soaking Tub
The Pulse alcove tub gives Mary a place to unwind that her old tub and shower combo never offered.
Better Water Pressure
The Kauai brushed nickel system replaced a single shower head with a full rain and handheld setup.
More Usable Storage
The built-in stainless steel niche keeps shower products organized without a shelf caddy.
A Finished, Cohesive Look
New flooring, paint, and a quartz vanity top tie the whole room together in one project instead of several smaller updates.
Is a Master Bathroom Remodel Right for Your Home?
A full master bathroom remodel like Mary's makes sense for a specific set of situations. This may be a good fit if:
Your tub and shower are original to the home and show cracked or stained grout
You want a dedicated soaking tub instead of a combo tub and shower
Your bathroom hasn't been updated in 20 or more years
You're planning to stay in your home long enough to enjoy a full remodel
You want one crew managing the whole project, from demo to paint
You're comfortable with a project timeline of about a week

FAQs
How much does a full master bathroom remodel cost in Kent?
A full master bathroom remodel in Kent with a new soaking tub, grout-free Tyvarian walls, a shower system, quartz vanity, new flooring, and paint typically ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 or more depending on room size and material selections. A simpler tub-to-shower conversion or bathtub replacement starts at $9,500. We provide an itemized quote after the free in-home consultation.
How long does a full master bathroom remodel take?
A full master bathroom remodel with tile tear out, new wall panels, tub or shower installation, vanity, flooring, and paint typically takes three to seven days. This East Hill project was completed in five days. Simpler projects like a tub-to-shower conversion usually finish in one to two days.
Do I need to replace the drywall behind my old tile?
In most older Kent homes, yes. When we remove tile down to the studs, we often find that the original green board or drywall behind it has absorbed moisture over the years. That damage is not visible until the tile comes off. We replace any compromised substrate with new moisture-rated green board before installing Tyvarian or Sentrel panels, so the finished walls sit on a clean, solid surface. We account for this in every quote so there is no surprise cost if the substrate needs replacement.
Can I get a Pulse soaking tub like this one in my bathroom?
In most cases, yes. The Pulse alcove soaking tub used in this project fits many standard bathroom footprints without requiring structural modification. During the free in-home consultation, we measure your space and confirm whether an alcove, freestanding, or drop-in tub is the best fit for your layout.
My Kent home still has its original tile bathroom. What should I expect during demolition?
We remove the old tile down to the studs and inspect the substrate behind it. In many 1970s through 1990s Kent homes, the green board or drywall behind the tile has moisture damage that is not visible until the tile is removed. We replace any damaged substrate before installing new Tyvarian or Sentrel panels so the finished walls sit on a clean, solid surface. We account for this possibility in every quote so there are no surprise costs.

Yes. We complete projects throughout Kent, including East Hill, West Hill, Panther Lake, Meridian Valley, Lake Meridian, and the Kent Valley. Our Bellevue office is about 20 minutes north on I-405 and SR-167, and our crew works in Kent regularly.
