Master Bath Remodel in Chandler — Tile, Vanity & Layout Refresh
📍 Location: Chandler, Arizona
🏠 Project Type: Master Bathroom – Tile Rebuild & Vanity Upgrade
⏱️ Timeline: 3 – 4 weeks
📅 Completed: 2024
Project Overview
This Chandler, Arizona master bathroom remodel showcases a clean, modern transformation focused on craftsmanship and timeless design. We completely replaced the old tub/shower area, upgraded the vanity and countertops, and installed 12×24 large-format porcelain tile flooring for a sleek, high-end finish that enhances both style and functionality throughout the space.
The customer chose to personally handle the lighting, mirrors, baseboards, toilet, and finishing accessories, allowing us to concentrate on the core construction, tilework, and layout upgrades—the foundation elements that require professional expertise and precision. This collaborative approach enabled the homeowners to control certain finishing details while ensuring the critical structural and waterproofing work met professional standards.
A new retrofit window is scheduled for installation soon, completing the look and bringing in natural light to complement the new design. Even before these final touches are in place, the tile craftsmanship and layout precision stand out as defining features of this remodel—every surface was carefully set for long-term durability and visual appeal.
The large-format 12×24 floor tile creates contemporary appearance with minimal grout lines, making cleaning easier while delivering the sophisticated aesthetics that modern bathrooms demand. The new vanity and countertops provide updated storage and surface space with clean, timeless styling that coordinates beautifully with the tile selections throughout the bathroom.
This project reflects the Mustache Approved quality standard our clients have come to trust—professional tile installation, proper waterproofing systems, and attention to detail that ensures this bathroom will perform beautifully for decades.

Why This Design Works for Chandler Master Bathrooms
Collaborative remodeling approaches where homeowners handle certain finishing elements while professionals manage core construction can work beautifully when scopes are clearly defined. Critical elements requiring licensed expertise—tile installation, waterproofing, plumbing, and structural work—benefit from professional execution, while homeowners comfortable with simpler tasks like hanging mirrors, installing light fixtures, or setting accessories can control those details personally. This division allows flexibility while ensuring quality where it matters most.
Large-format 12×24 floor tile has become the modern standard for contemporary bathrooms, replacing the smaller tiles that dominated previous decades. The larger format creates cleaner appearance with fewer grout lines to maintain, while the substantial tile size conveys quality and sophistication. In Chandler’s hard water areas, fewer grout lines mean less surface area for mineral deposits to accumulate—a practical benefit that makes long-term maintenance easier.
Complete tub/shower rebuilds rather than surface-level updates ensure proper waterproofing and structural integrity. While retiling over existing surrounds might seem more economical, removing old materials allows inspection of framing, installation of modern waterproofing membranes, and correction of any underlying issues. This comprehensive approach prevents future problems while enabling upgrades to layout, fixtures, or features that surface-only work cannot achieve.
Coordinating window replacement with bathroom remodels makes excellent sense—when tile work is happening, window retrofits integrate more seamlessly without risking damage to new finishes. The timing allows proper waterproofing around the new window while avoiding situations where window installation after tile completion could crack or damage fresh grout lines. This strategic sequencing demonstrates thoughtful project planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do some of the work myself during a bathroom remodel?
Homeowners can handle certain finishing tasks (hanging mirrors, installing light fixtures, accessories, baseboards) if comfortable with those skills. However, critical work requiring licenses—tile installation, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical rough-in—should be performed by professionals. Clear scope definition prevents issues. Discuss your abilities and interests with your contractor to determine appropriate division of labor that maintains quality and code compliance.
Should I replace my tub/shower surround or rebuild completely?
Complete rebuilds offer advantages over surface replacement: allows inspection of framing and plumbing, enables installation of modern waterproofing systems, permits layout modifications or fixture upgrades, and ensures long-term structural integrity. Surface-only work may hide underlying problems. If your tub/shower is more than 20 years old or shows any signs of water damage, complete rebuild typically provides better value.
What makes 12×24 tile better than smaller formats?
Large-format tiles (like 12×24) provide contemporary appearance with clean lines, fewer grout lines for easier maintenance, reduced cleaning time (less grout to scrub), more seamless look, and convey quality and sophistication. In Arizona’s hard water areas, fewer grout lines mean less surface for mineral deposits. Modern installation techniques make large-format tile accessible at various price points.
Should I coordinate window replacement with bathroom remodel?
Yes! Replacing windows during bathroom remodels offers several benefits: easier integration with tile work, proper waterproofing around new window, avoids damaging new finishes with later installation, and ensures coordinated project completion. If your bathroom has old, inefficient windows, replacing them during the remodel makes practical and aesthetic sense.
