Tired of These Frustrations?

If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.

Uncertain Quality

Big-box stores and online options make it hard to know if the flooring you choose will actually look good and last in your home.

Weeks-Long Timelines

Other contractors string projects out for weeks. We complete most flooring installations in three days so you can enjoy your new floors sooner.

Contractor Horror Stories

Missed deadlines, hidden fees, and sloppy work are common in the industry. We communicate at every step and deliver on our promises.

Still living with a 1990s bathroom? You are not alone. Thousands of Arizona homes built in the builder boom of the 1990s and 2000s feature bathrooms with dated vanities, worn-out tile, brass fixtures, and garden tubs that nobody uses. Zona Floors specializes in targeted bathroom upgrades that bring these spaces into the modern era — without the cost, disruption, and timeline of a full gut remodel.

What Makes a Bathroom Look Outdated?

Several common features date a bathroom instantly:

  • Almond, bisque, or pink fixtures — the warm-toned fixtures popular in the 80s and 90s clash with modern design
  • Small, pattern-heavy floor tile — especially 4x4 tiles in terracotta, pink, or mauve
  • Builder-grade oak vanities — the honey-toned oak cabinets that came standard in tract homes
  • Brass or gold-tone fixtures — faucets, towel bars, and light fixtures in dated brass finishes
  • Garden tubs that sit unused — large soaking tubs that take up valuable floor space
  • Cracked or grout-stained shower tile — years of moisture and wear leave tile looking tired
  • Hollywood-style vanity lights — the long bar fixtures with exposed globe bulbs

If your bathroom has two or more of these features, a targeted upgrade can transform the room’s appearance dramatically. Not sure if it is time to act? Our checklist of signs your bathroom needs a remodel can help you decide.

Our Upgrade Approach

Rather than gutting the entire bathroom, we focus on the highest-impact changes within your budget:

Vanity and Fixture Swap

Replacing the vanity, faucet, mirror, and light fixture is often the single biggest visual improvement. We remove the old vanity, patch and paint if needed, and install a modern replacement — floating vanities, shaker-style cabinets, or contemporary vessels. New faucets in brushed nickel, matte black, or chrome replace dated brass. A modern mirror and light fixture complete the transformation.

Floor Tile Replacement

We remove old vinyl, linoleum, or dated tile and install modern porcelain or ceramic floor tile. Large-format tiles in neutral tones create a cleaner, more spacious appearance. This project typically takes 1-2 days.

Shower Tile Repair

Cracked tiles, stained grout, and failing caulk make a shower look neglected. We replace damaged tiles (matching existing if possible), regrout with fresh color, and recaulk all joints. If the damage is extensive or the waterproofing behind is compromised, we recommend a more thorough bathroom remodel.

Tub Replacement

If you have a garden tub that never gets used, we can remove it and either convert the space to a walk-in shower or install a smaller, modern soaking tub. This frees up floor space and updates the room’s functionality. Tub-to-shower conversion is detailed on our bathroom remodeling page.

Cost-Effective Results

Bathroom upgrades typically range from $3,000 to $10,000 — significantly less than a full remodel that can run $20,000-$40,000+. By working within the existing layout and avoiding plumbing relocation or structural changes, we keep costs down while delivering a fresh, modern look.

Most upgrade projects are completed in 2-5 days. You will have a bathroom that looks years newer without the weeks of construction disruption that come with a full remodel.

What Our Customers Say

"Our guest bathroom was stuck in the 90s. Zona Floors replaced the old vinyl floor with tile, swapped the vanity, and installed new fixtures. It looks completely different — and it cost a fraction of what a full remodel would have."

— Karen B., Chandler

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a bathroom upgrade and a full remodel?
A bathroom upgrade focuses on surface-level improvements — replacing fixtures, updating tile, swapping vanities, and refreshing finishes — without structural changes or major plumbing work. A full remodel may include layout changes, moving plumbing, and gutting the space to the studs.
How much does a bathroom upgrade cost?
Bathroom upgrades typically range from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on the scope. A vanity swap with new fixtures might be $3,000-$5,000. Adding floor tile and shower tile repair can bring it to $7,000-$10,000. We provide detailed estimates.
Can you fix cracked shower tile without retiling the whole shower?
In some cases, yes. If the cracking is limited to a few tiles and the waterproofing behind is intact, we can replace individual tiles and regrout. If the cracking is widespread or the substrate is compromised, a more extensive repair is recommended.
How long does a bathroom upgrade take?
Most bathroom upgrades are completed in 2-5 days depending on scope. A vanity swap with fixture update can be done in 1-2 days. Adding tile work extends the timeline.
