Bathroom Demolition Services in Rexburg, ID

Bathroom remodels are one of the most common home improvement projects in Rexburg — and one of the messiest to get started. Before the new walk-in shower or that double vanity goes in, someone has to rip out all the old stuff. That’s what ShapeUpIdaho does. We handle bathroom demolition from start to finish: tile, tubs, showers, vanities, flooring, and everything in between.

What Goes Into a Bathroom Demo?

Bathrooms are compact spaces packed with plumbing, electrical, and heavy materials. A typical bathroom demolition involves removing some or all of the following:

• Bathtub or shower — Whether it’s a fiberglass surround, a tiled shower, or a cast iron clawfoot tub, we pull it out.
• Wall and floor tile — This is often the most labor-intensive part. Tile removal means chipping off the tile and usually removing the backer board or damaged drywall underneath.
• Vanity and sink — We disconnect the plumbing, pull the vanity, and remove any countertop.
• Toilet — Disconnected, removed, and hauled away.
• Flooring — Tile, vinyl, linoleum — we tear it up down to the subfloor.
• Drywall — If moisture damage has gotten behind the walls (common in bathrooms), we remove the affected sections.

Every bathroom is different. Some jobs are straightforward — pull the vanity, rip up the floor, and done. Others involve removing floor-to-ceiling tile, pulling a jetted tub through a narrow hallway, and gutting the space down to bare studs. We handle all of it.

Why Professional Bathroom Demo Matters

Water Damage Is Hiding Everywhere

Bathrooms take a beating from moisture over the years. When we pull up flooring or remove a shower surround, we often find soft subfloor, mold behind walls, or rotted framing. Discovering these issues during demo — not after your new tile is installed — saves you thousands down the road. We’ll point out anything we find so your contractor can address it.

Plumbing Is Right There

Every fixture in a bathroom is connected to water. Toilets, sinks, showers, tubs — all of them have supply lines and drain connections. Our crew knows how to disconnect and cap these properly so you don’t end up with water damage in the room below.

Tile Removal Is No Joke

If you’ve ever tried to remove ceramic or porcelain tile from a bathroom floor or wall, you know it’s brutal work. It’s loud, dusty, and physically demanding. The adhesive underneath often pulls chunks of drywall or cement board with it. We use the right tools — rotary hammers, floor scrapers, and pry bars — to get it done efficiently without damaging the framing.

Our Bathroom Demolition Process

We make bathroom demo as painless as possible for you:

Step 1 — Call (662) 666-6494. Tell us what you’re working with. A guest bath, a master suite, a half bath — whatever it is, we’ve done it.

Step 2 — We come see it. During our on-site visit, we check the layout, note the plumbing and electrical locations, and assess the materials. Then we give you a flat-rate price.

Step 3 — Demo time. We lay down floor protection in the hallway and adjacent rooms, shut off the water, and start tearing out the old bathroom. Most jobs wrap up in one day.

Step 4 — Everything disappears. All the old tile, fixtures, drywall, and debris get loaded on our truck. We sweep the space clean and haul everything away. Done.

Preparing for Bathroom Demolition

A little prep on your end helps us work faster:

• Remove personal items. Clear out towels, toiletries, medications, and anything stored in the vanity or linen closet.
• Plan for alternative facilities. You’ll be without this bathroom for the duration of the remodel. Make sure you have another bathroom available.
• Clear a path. We’ll be carrying heavy fixtures and debris through your home. A clear hallway makes the job safer and faster.
• Communicate with your contractor. If you have a contractor lined up for the rebuild, let them know when demo is scheduled. Some contractors prefer to be on-site during demo to inspect the rough plumbing and framing.

Common Bathroom Demo Scenarios in Rexburg

The Full Gut

You want everything out — walls stripped to studs, floor stripped to subfloor, all fixtures removed. This is typical for master bathroom remodels where the entire layout is changing. We leave you with a completely empty shell.

The Partial Demo

Maybe you’re keeping the tub but replacing the tile surround. Or the toilet stays but the vanity and flooring go. We work to your specs and only remove what you want removed.

Multi-Bathroom Projects

Renovating more than one bathroom? We’ll demo them all in one trip. It’s more cost-effective for you and more efficient for us. Plenty of homeowners in Rexburg tackle both bathrooms during a single renovation push.
