Most Peninsula hall baths are about five by eight feet. We remodel them to feel larger without moving a wall, using glass instead of a curtain, a floating vanity, a niche instead of a shelf, and tile that runs from floor to ceiling.

Line items and what moves the price: bathroom remodel cost in the Bay Area.
The typical Peninsula hall bath is the one built with the house in the 1950s or 1960s: a 60-inch tub along the back wall, a toilet beside it, a 24- or 30-inch vanity by the door, and an exhaust fan that is too small or missing. In Eichlers and ranches it is often the only full bath for two or three bedrooms.
The room is small, but it gets more use than any other room in the house. That is why the details that save space matter more here than in a primary suite.
The cheapest small bathroom remodel keeps the toilet, tub or shower drain and vanity where they are. Moving the toilet even a foot means rerouting a 3-inch drain. On a crawlspace that is a day of work; on a slab it means cutting concrete. We show you both options with prices before you decide.
If the hall bath is your only bathroom, the remodel is mostly a scheduling problem. We plan the job so the toilet is out for as few days as possible, usually two or three, and we can arrange a rented portable shower for the days the shower is out of service. An acrylic shower system is back in use the day after installation, which is why many one-bathroom owners choose it.
Usually yes. A clear glass panel lets you see the full length of the room, where a tub and curtain cut it in half. Keep a tub in another bathroom if you have small children or plan to sell.
No. Larger tile means fewer grout lines, which makes the floor read as one surface. The exception is the shower floor, which needs small tile or a mosaic so it can follow the slope to the drain.
Rarely with comfort. A 60-inch double vanity fits on paper, but it leaves too little room at each sink. A 36- to 48-inch single vanity with more drawer space usually works better.
About two weeks for a refresh where nothing moves, and two to three weeks when the layout, valve or drain changes.
