A Modernized Plainville CT Bathroom Remodeling
A Modernized Plainville CT Bathroom Remodeling
Here at First Choice Bathroom Remodeling, we believe that even the most outdated bathroom can be remade into a beautiful modern space. Our recent remodeling project in Plainville, Connecticut is a perfect illustration of how great design and superior craftsmanship can bring a drab, dated bathroom up to date as a bright, sophisticated retreat. The homeowners asked for a bathroom remodel that would bring contemporary style, improved functionality, and a more open feel to their old space. We completely gutted the bathroom and replaced every element with a new, luxurious design to fulfill their vision. This is the step-by-step story of how we transformed an aging Plainville bathroom into the sleek oasis the homeowners dreamed of.
Before
An Old and Outdated Bathroom.

An Older Wood Vanity and Countertop.
Before the Remodel: Outdated, Cramped, and Lacking Style
The original bathroom in Plainville was stuck in an outdated look, from its
dull wall color
to
aging fixtures. The
built-in tub/shower combo
(hidden behind a basic shower curtain) and a
bulky over-the-toilet cabinet
made the room feel cramped and closed-off. The flooring consisted of dark, tired tiles that further shrank the space visually. Overall, the bathroom felt dim and dreary – more like a throwback to the 1990s than a part of a modern home. This view of the old
vanity area
highlights the bathroom’s lack of modern style and storage. The vanity was an
older wood cabinet
with an outdated countertop and a shallow sink, offering minimal space for toiletries. Above it hung a large, plain mirror and a dated light fixture that provided insufficient, harsh lighting. The fixtures and hardware (from the
brass faucet
to the basic cabinet knobs) were well past their prime. It’s easy to see why the homeowners were eager to say goodbye to this drab setup. The owners shared one clear goal for their Plainville bathroom remodel: to trade the
old, cramped
appearance for a
beautiful, new bathroom
that felt
bright, sleek, and functional. They envisioned clean tile lines, contemporary fixtures, and a more
open, inviting atmosphere. Our design team at First Choice Bathroom Remodeling worked closely with them to develop a plan that maintained the bathroom’s basic layout but dramatically elevated its style and comfort. The strategy was to introduce a crisp, modern color scheme (centering on whites and grays), improve lighting, and incorporate high-end materials that would make the space feel like new.
During the Renovation: The Transformation Takes Shape
The Plainville bathroom remodel began with a complete gut demolition, removing the old tub, vanity, flooring, and even drywall to start fresh from the studs. This clean slate revealed the true potential of the space and allowed us to upgrade essential systems. Our team reworked the plumbing and electrical, relocating shower fixtures for a modern rainfall setup and adding wiring for advanced lighting features like the LED-backlit mirror. With waterproofing and proper backer board in place, the bathroom was prepped for its transformation into a sleek, modern retreat.
From there, the installation phase brought the vision to life with premium materials and finishes. The outdated tub-shower combo was replaced with a spacious walk-in shower clad in large-format marble-look porcelain tiles, accented by coordinating mosaic tile in the floor and niche. A frameless glass enclosure kept the look open and contemporary, while brushed nickel fixtures tied the design together with modern style. The new white shaker vanity with a quartz countertop provided storage and clean aesthetics, complemented by a glowing LED mirror and fresh porcelain floor tile. Step by step, this Plainville bathroom remodel turned a dated, cramped room into a bright, luxurious, and functional space tailored perfectly to the homeowner’s needs.

The Final Result: Bright, Sleek, and Luxurious
The completed Plainville bathroom remodel is not only beautiful but also far more comfortable and user-friendly than before. Removing the bulky tub and installing a glass-enclosed shower opened up the layout, making the room feel larger and more inviting. The new walk-in shower is a showpiece of the remodel – its floor-to-ceiling marble-look porcelain tiles and the seamless glass entry give it a spa-like presence. Despite its high-end appearance, this shower is also built for convenience: the curbless entry and built-in niche make it easy to use and keep organized. The materials chosen are not only stunning to look at but also low-maintenance and durable, ensuring that this bathroom will look bright and fresh for years to come.
Every detail of the design contributes to the overall sleek aesthetic. The recessed shower niche, seen here, is lined with the same elegant mosaic tile used on the shower floor, tying the design together and providing a handy spot for shampoos and soaps. The brushed nickel fixtures throughout the bathroom lend a modern, cohesive feel – from the square rainfall showerhead and matching handle trim to the chic faucet on the vanity sink. These metallic accents complement the gray veining in the tile and add a subtle shine without the maintenance that old polished brass required. Clean lines and quality finishes are evident at every turn, reflecting the expert craftsmanship of our remodeling team.
The vanity area is now a centerpiece of style and functionality. The homeowners opted for a white shaker-style vanity cabinet that brings a classic yet updated look, complete with ample storage for toiletries and towels. Its sleek white countertop (crafted from a durable quartz) offers plenty of surface space and contrasts beautifully with the soft gray tones of the floor and wall tiles. Above the vanity, the new LED backlit mirror not only adds a modern flair but also improves the lighting dramatically – no more dark corners or unflattering shadows. This mirror, along with an updated overhead light, bathes the room in a bright but gentle glow. The combination of the illuminated mirror and fresh light fixtures means the bathroom is as practical for daily routines as it is striking in appearance.
Stepping back to take in the
entire finished bathroom, it’s clear that the remodel achieved exactly what the homeowners wanted. The space that was once
dark and dated is now a
bright, contemporary oasis that wouldn’t be out of place in a high-end hotel. The crisp white and grey color scheme, accented by the texture of marble-look tile and the shine of nickel hardware, creates a
luxurious atmosphere without sacrificing comfort. The improved layout and clear glass shower have eradicated the cramped feeling, making morning and evening routines more enjoyable in this now-roomy bathroom. Perhaps most importantly, the owners are
thrilled with their new bathroom. The room truly feels like a personal spa retreat –
modern, elegant, and tailored to their needs. It’s an ideal example of how a First Choice Bathroom Remodeling project can transform a tired space into a work of art. Our team delivered a
Plainville bathroom remodel that not only looks stunning but also adds long-term value and convenience to the home, showcasing the best of what
Plainville, CT bathrooms can become with the right vision and expertise.
