Bathroom Remodel San Antonio: Master Bath Project Tour
If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in San Antonio, TX, this real-project case study will save you a lot of guesswork. We’re walking through a recent OMG Kitchen & Bath master bathroom remodel in the Oakland Heights neighborhood of San Antonio – including before-and-after photos, the full materials list, design choices, and what a project like this actually involves.
This was a contemporary master bathroom and walk-in closet renovation in a residential home. The original layout worked, but every finish was tired – so we modernized everything while keeping the existing footprint to control costs.

How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in San Antonio?

Before: A Builder-Grade Master Bath
The original bathroom was functional but felt straight out of a builder catalog:
- Double vanity with clam-shell sink basins
- Bathtub and walk-in shower combo (a common 1990s/2000s San Antonio layout)
- Walk-in shower lined with base white tile and a single accent stripe of blue
- Brown and red multi-tone marble-look floor tile
- Light gray walls with a single light blue feature wall and a brown tone in the toilet area
- Walk-in closet with a single hanging rod and one shelf
It worked. It just didn’t feel like a master suite.
After: A Spa-Style San Antonio Master Bath
Key Design Moves
- Color palette: White, brushed gold, and soft blue. Calm, contemporary, and timeless – won’t look dated in 5 years.
- Vanity: New double vanity with deeper drawers (massive storage upgrade from the old clamshell setup) and white quartz top.
- Walk-in shower: Frameless glass enclosure, fixed Moen rain showerhead plus a handheld on a slide bar – a small upgrade that totally changes how the shower feels day-to-day.
- Freestanding tub: Replaced the old tub-shower combo with a true freestanding soaking tub. Splurge that’s worth every dollar.
- Faucets: Moen two-handle bathroom faucets in brushed gold – one of the dominant 2026 finish trends in San Antonio bathroom remodels.
- Walk-in closet: Refit with a mix of hanging, shelves, and drawers. Now actually usable.
Pro tip from our designers: If your master bath layout already works, don’t move walls. Keep the footprint, upgrade every finish, and put the savings into a freestanding tub or a frameless shower enclosure – the two upgrades clients tell us they enjoy most after the project ends.

FAQs: Bathroom Remodeling in San Antonio
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in San Antonio?
Most bathroom remodels in San Antonio fall between $12,000 (a basic hall bath) and $55,000 (a full master bath like Oakland Heights). Premium master suite renovations with layout changes can run $55,000 to $120,000+.
Should I convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
It’s one of the most popular requests we get in San Antonio – especially for primary bathrooms. Walk-in showers feel larger, are easier to clean, and are friendlier for aging-in-place. The only caveat: don’t remove the only tub in your house if you plan to sell – keep at least one tub somewhere in the home for resale.
