Payment examples

Paying for a bathroom, without the fog

Every number on this page is a sample. What we can promise is the structure: a design retainer, milestone payments, and nothing owed at the end until the punch list is closed.

01

Sample figures

Three payment shapes clients use

We do not lend money. These are the structures our finance partners offer, shown at illustrative rates so you can see the shape of the decision.

Short term, no interest

12 months · 0% APR promotional

$1,167 / month

on a $14,000 project

  • Full balance due within the promotional window
  • Best for conversions and powder rooms
  • Soft credit check to see if you pre-qualify

Extended term

144 months · 10.49% APR

$726 / month

on a $62,000 project

  • Lowest monthly figure, highest total cost
  • Suited to larger ensuite projects
  • Review the total interest before choosing it

Payment figures are illustrative examples only, not offers of credit. Rates, terms and eligibility are set by third-party lenders and depend on your circumstances. Still Water Bath Co. does not provide financial advice.

How our own billing works

  1. Design retainer

    Secures a slot on the calendar and pays for the measured survey, the drawings and the fixed proposal. Credited in full against the build.

  2. Materials call

    Paid when tile, stone, cabinetry and glass are ordered, because those go into production for you specifically.

  3. Rough-in complete

    Due after plumbing, wiring and waterproofing have passed inspection and the flood test is documented.

  4. Tile complete

    Due when the wet area and floor are set and grouted.

  5. Final balance

    Due only after we have walked the room with you and closed every item on the punch list.

No money changes hands before you have a drawing, a written scope and a fixed price.

Where you can sensibly save

And the five places where saving costs you more later. We would rather have this conversation before the quote than after.

Sensible savings

  • Keep the existing layout wherever it works
  • Porcelain that imitates stone, with the difference spent on the vanity
  • One feature material, not three
  • A fixed glass panel instead of a hinged door
  • Stock cabinetry when the wall width happens to suit it

False economies

  • Skipping the membrane or the flood test
  • Reusing an old valve because the trim still matches
  • Tiling over existing tile to avoid removal
  • A cheap fan, or a good fan on a bad duct
  • Leaving out wall blocking in a house you intend to grow old in

All questions

As a sample range, a tub-to-shower conversion runs $9,800 to $18,500, a full hall bath remodel $24,000 to $52,000, and a primary ensuite $32,000 to $78,000. The variables that move those numbers most are whether plumbing relocates, how complex the tile pattern is, and what we find behind the walls. Every figure on this site is illustrative.

The measuring visit and the written proposal are free. The proposal is a fixed price for the scope described, with a named contingency line for concealed conditions such as rot or failed supply lines. Nothing outside the scope is added without a signed change order.

Yes. A design retainer secures your place on the calendar and is credited against the build. The balance is split across agreed milestones, with the final payment due only after the punch list is closed.

Because the parts that decide whether a bathroom lasts, pan slope, membrane laps, drain fall and substrate flatness, are all labour. Material is the visible half. Labour is the half that stops your ceiling staining in four years.
