A Renton bathroom renovation after water damage
This bathroom renovation in Renton, WA, began with water damage associated with a leaking shower pan. Bezruchuk Inc. replaced the bathroom’s bathing areas and finishes, creating a room with a separate freestanding tub, a tiled shower and a consistent gray tile palette.
The original bathroom had a built-in tub and an angled glass shower enclosure. White tile and a dark horizontal accent wrapped around the bathing areas. In the completed room, the tub stands independently beneath the window, and vein-patterned tile connects the shower walls with the floor.
The same bathroom before and after replacement, photographed from slightly different positions. Open the full photographs to explore each view.
Looking beyond the old shower finishes
The original project record identifies a leaking shower pan as the reason for investigating the bathroom. After problems with the earlier work were uncovered, the homeowner chose a full renovation.
The original shower photograph shows the tiled walls, dark floor and angled glass enclosure before removal. The demolition views show the exposed liner and drain area after the surrounding finishes were taken out.
These photographs document what was visible during the work. The water-damage repair scope came before the final material selections: the replacement needed to address the affected bathing area as well as its appearance.
For homeowners facing a similar rebuild, our water damage repair and reconstruction service explains the work Bezruchuk Inc. undertakes after emergency mitigation and structural drying are complete.
Coordinated tile from the shower walls to the floor
The project uses Surface Art AMALFI VEIN CUT GRIGIO 12 × 24-inch tile on the walls and floor. Its linear pattern gives the bathing area a consistent finish, replacing the earlier white tile and dark accent band.
Inside the shower, coordinating 2 × 2-inch mosaic changes the scale of the tile around the square floor drain. The finished entrance has a raised tiled curb. The overhead shower and handheld fitting sit against the same vein-patterned wall tile.
The double niche provides two recessed storage compartments. Its position was planned around the grout lines, helping the openings fit into the wall layout. The original project record also specifies matching tile cut into 4 × 24-inch baseboard strips, carrying the material around the room’s edges.
A freestanding soaking tub beneath the window
The original built-in bathtub was replaced with a 71 × 32-inch freestanding soaking tub. Removing the tiled tub surround changes the outline of the bathing area: the white curved tub now stands in front of the gray tile and below the window.
A WOODBRIDGE freestanding tub filler with a hand shower serves the bathtub. The tall fixture sits beside the tub, while the nearby shower has its own overhead and handheld fittings.
At the bathroom entry, a white sliding barn door runs along an exposed rail. The open doorway frames the new tub and tiled shower, giving a wider view of the completed room before stepping inside.

Bathroom replacement after water damage
When a bathroom project starts with a leak, planning needs to account for both the affected area and the room the homeowner wants to use afterward. In this case, the replacement also changed the bathtub style and coordinated the shower, floor and trim.
