Stone Oak Master Bath Remodel: Cost & Timeline Guide
By Rey Trevino · Published 2026-04-21 · Remodel guide
If your Stone Oak master bath still has a drop-in tub, a framed glass shower and a builder-grade vanity, this guide walks through what rebuilding it involves: the scope, the materials, what moves the price and how the schedule usually runs. The photos are master and guest baths we built elsewhere in San Antonio, each captioned with the job it came from.
What the scope usually covers
A master bath rebuild typically takes the room back to the studs and puts it back together with a larger walk-in shower, new tile, a new vanity and new fixtures. Some layouts keep a tub, often a freestanding one; others give that space to the shower. Keeping the plumbing on the same walls is one of the main ways to control cost, because moving drains and supply lines adds labor before any finish work starts.
For what bathroom remodels run in Stone Oak specifically, see our Stone Oak (78258) bathroom remodel page. For reference, the San Antonio master baths pictured in this guide came in at $19,800 and $20,400, and the Alamo Ranch master spa build with a freestanding tub at $18,000 to $24,000 depending on tile tier and fixtures. The big variables are tile grade, glass style and how much of the layout moves. For the full neighborhood overview, see our Stone Oak neighborhood page.
Typical materials at this level
Every master bath gets specced to its own budget. These are the common choices, and the photos in this guide show several of them.
- Tile: porcelain or ceramic on the shower walls (large-format, subway or herringbone), with a mosaic such as hex, penny-round or basketweave on the shower floor and in the niche.
- Waterproofing: a waterproofing membrane over cement backer board on every wet wall, before any tile goes on.
- Glass: framed, frameless, or sliding panels on exposed roller hardware.
- Vanity: a double vanity with a stone or quartz top and undermount sinks.
- Fixtures: one finish carried through the shower and the vanity. Brushed gold and matte black are the two in these photos.
- Lighting and ventilation: recessed lighting and a vent fan sized for the room.
How the schedule usually runs
Schedules vary with scope. The master baths pictured in this guide took 10 to 11 working days. The work typically moves through these phases, in this order:
- Demo: protection, demo and haul-off, room stripped to the studs.
- Plumbing: rough-in, including any drain or valve changes.
- Electrical: rough-in, vent fan, and inspection where required.
- Waterproofing: backer board and membrane on the wet walls.
- Tile: floor and wall tile, niche and bench.
- Vanity and finish carpentry: vanity, countertop, paint and trim.
- Fixtures: faucets, shower trim, mirror and accessories.
- Glass and closeout: glass install, punch list, clean and walkthrough.
What drives the price
Three choices move a master bath's price the most: tile grade (porcelain or ceramic versus natural stone like marble), glass style (framed, sliding, or full frameless with custom hardware), and whether the shower goes curbless. Curbless adds waterproofing labor and a recess in the floor, and it is worth it if you plan to stay in the home long term.
