How Do I Start Planning a Bathroom Remodel in St. Pete?
Remodeling a bathroom is a reset button for how you start and end your day. The right changes can turn morning nightmares into calm or make a tired, outdated space feel like a private retreat. But getting there takes a lot of effort, unless you have a design partner who listens and builds with your needs and aesthetic first.
When you start a St. Pete bathroom remodel with Revive Design and Renovation, we make the process focused on you. The path we take depends on your comfort level and priorities. Your pace, your vision, your perfect experience.
1. Define Your Purpose and Goals
Before you pick a single finish, ask yourself why you’re remodeling in the first place. Is it because the space feels outdated? Because you’re tired of tripping over clutter? Or because you’re finally ready for that walk-in shower you’ve always wanted?
Think about who will use the space, too. A guest bath will have different needs than a busy family bathroom. Those early decisions guide everything else.

2. Establish Your Budget
Budgets aren’t glamorous, but they’re essential. Figure out what you’re comfortable spending based on your goals, not just a ballpark guess. Then add at least 10% as a contingency for surprises—like discovering water damage behind a wall.
Having a flexible mindset also helps. If one feature runs over budget, swap it for a more affordable option without losing the look you love.
3. Gather Inspiration and Design Ideas
Here’s where you get to dream big. Browse design magazines, scroll Pinterest, or even snap photos when you’re in a beautiful hotel. Notice the styles and features you keep coming back to. It helps to break your vision into a few key decisions:
- The overall layout.
- The type of vanity, sink, and storage you want.
- Whether you’re going for a tub, shower, or both.
- Materials and finishes that feel true to you.
4. Plan the Layout and Functionality
This is where form and function meet. Sometimes a layout shift—like swapping the placement of a vanity and shower—can dramatically change how the room feels. Other times, it’s about adding thoughtful storage so you’re not juggling towels and toiletries.
Plumbing and electrical changes are possible, but they come with costs. We’ll walk you through what’s worth moving and what works better staying put.

5. Decide on DIY vs. Professional Help
Some cosmetic upgrades are DIY-friendly. But for waterproofing, plumbing, and electrical work, licensed professionals are the safest route. With us, you get vetted experts who do it right the first time.
6. Organize Logistics and Permitting
Every project requires a permit, and we take care of that for you from start to finish. We also coordinate timing so materials arrive when they should, contractors are scheduled seamlessly, and your remodel stays on track.
