FROM OUR WORK
Two bathrooms, one house
In one house we built two bathrooms two different ways. The first is a tadelakt shower with matching limewash outside it, custom lighting for the arches, the sink bowl and the mirror, and a random tile floor layout. The second is marble-look tile, three different tiles in a layout we drew by hand before it was set, with three shower heads, a bench and marble sconce lights. In Summerville a full bathroom remodel with a walk-in shower went in alongside the kitchen, one crew and one schedule.
The vanity is furniture
We treat a vanity the way we treat kitchen cabinets: feet or legs, trim that matches the casing and baseboard in the rest of the house, and hardware and a sink that suit its style, so it reads as built for the room rather than dropped into it.
BATHROOM REMODELING
What homeowners ask for
The amenities come up in almost every bathroom we plan:
- Multiple shower heads
- A shower bench
- Heated floors, and a heated toilet seat
- Niches, which we always recommend
- A double vanity
BATHROOM REMODELING
Low maintenance: tadelakt or microcement
The low-maintenance factor is pushing more people toward tadelakt and microcement: seamless walls with no grout lines to scrub. Microcement is the more modern look; tadelakt has more of that old-world character.
BATHROOM REMODELING
Waterproofing, job by job
We waterproof different ways for different jobs, because the finish decides what goes underneath it.
Built for your forever home
Accessibility is something we talk through with each client, based on their needs and their plans for the house. We like to design long-lasting renovations for people’s forever home.
WHAT GOES BEHIND THE FINISH
- Tadelakt: cement board with a liquid waterproofing membrane on top
- Tile: a Schluter system or GoBoard
- Microcement: a moisture-barrier primer under the system and its sealer on top
Why Tadelakt Is the Ultimate Bathroom Finish
Most bathroom remodels and bathroom renovations in Charleston rely on tile for wet areas. While tile is a proven solution, it comes with grout lines that require ongoing maintenance and can harbor mold and mildew in our humid Lowcountry climate. Tadelakt offers a fundamentally different approach.
This centuries-old Moroccan lime plaster creates a completely seamless, naturally waterproof surface when hand-polished with a river stone. The result is a shower or tub surround with organic warmth, subtle depth of color, and zero grout lines to maintain. It’s a finish that gets more beautiful with age. Exactly the kind of material we believe belongs in a luxury bathroom renovation.
Very few contractors in Charleston offer Tadelakt because it requires specialized training and patience to apply correctly. At Luxurious Renovations, it’s one of our signature services. Learn more on our dedicated Tadelakt & Specialty Plaster page.

Why Choose Luxurious Renovations for Your Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the most technically demanding rooms to renovate. They involve plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, ventilation, and precision finish work. All in a compact space where mistakes are costly and visible. Our multi-trade expertise means we understand every system that intersects in a bathroom renovation, and we manage them all in-house for tighter quality control.
Whether you want a spa bathroom in Charleston, SC or a practical primary bath update, our multi-trade team manages plumbing, waterproofing, and finishes in one coordinated scope.
BATHROOM REMODELING
We don’t rush bathroom renovations. Proper waterproofing takes time to cure. Tile layouts need to be planned for visual balance, not just speed. Plumbing connections need to be tested and verified. When we hand over a completed bathroom, we’re confident it will perform beautifully for the next 60 to 100 years. Not just pass a final inspection.
Bathroom work often coordinates with kitchen remodeling and whole home renovation projects.

Common questions about our bathroom remodeling and renovation services in the greater Charleston area.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Charleston, SC?
Bathroom remodel cost in Charleston varies based on the size of the bathroom, scope of work, material selections, and whether layout or plumbing changes are involved. We focus on quality materials and craftsmanship that will last, and we provide detailed, transparent estimates during consultation. Contact us to discuss your specific project.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Charleston? A standard bathroom remodel in Charleston, SC
It depends on the scope. What drives the schedule is how much is changing (a finish update is quicker than moving plumbing or changing the layout), permits and inspections, waterproofing and curing time for plaster finishes like tadelakt, lead times on tile, fixtures and vanities, and the decisions made along the way. We give you a detailed schedule before work begins.
What is Tadelakt and why is it ideal for bathrooms?
Tadelakt is a traditional Moroccan lime plaster that is naturally waterproof when properly applied. It creates seamless, organic surfaces perfect for showers, tub surrounds, and bathroom walls. Unlike tile, Tadelakt has no grout lines where mold and mildew can grow, making it both beautiful and exceptionally practical for wet environments. We’re one of the few contractors in Charleston offering this specialty finish.
Can you make my small bathroom feel larger?
Absolutely. We use several design strategies to maximize the perception of space in smaller bathrooms: optimized layouts, glass shower enclosures instead of curtains, wall-mounted vanities, strategic mirror placement, and light color palettes. In some cases, we can also borrow space from adjacent rooms or closets to physically expand the bathroom footprint.
Do you handle plumbing for bathroom renovations?
Yes. Our team includes plumbing expertise, so we handle all plumbing work in-house. This includes fixture installations, drain line modifications, supply line upgrades, and any rerouting needed for layout changes. Keeping plumbing in-house ensures better quality control and coordination with the rest of the renovation.
What waterproofing methods do you use in bathroom renovations?
Proper waterproofing is critical in any bathroom renovation, especially in Charleston’s humid climate. We use industry-leading waterproofing membranes behind all tile installations, properly sloped shower pans, and moisture-resistant substrates throughout. For clients choosing Tadelakt, the plaster itself provides natural waterproofing. We never cut corners on moisture management.
Can you add a bathroom to my Charleston home?
In many cases, yes. Adding a bathroom requires careful planning around plumbing access, structural considerations, and available space. We assess the feasibility during our initial consultation and present options that work within your home’s existing infrastructure. Our multi-trade expertise makes bathroom additions more streamlined since we handle framing, plumbing, electrical, and finishes in-house.
