If your bathroom feels outdated, one of the most impactful ways to refresh the space is by updating the fixtures, surfaces, and finishes. At Signature Bathroom Remodelling, we help homeowners across Denver transform tired bathrooms into modern, functional retreats by upgrading key elements like faucets, sinks, lighting, tiles, and countertops.

Whether you want a subtle refresh or a full renovation, here’s a breakdown of what you can update—and the materials that offer the best style and performance.


Fixtures That Can Be Replaced in a Bathroom Remodel

Updating your bathroom fixtures not only improves appearance but can also boost efficiency and comfort. Common fixtures to replace include:

Faucets & Showerheads

Swap out dated chrome or corroded faucets with sleek modern finishes like:

  • Brushed nickel
  • Matte black
  • Polished brass
  • Oil-rubbed bronze

Low-flow and thermostatic showerheads can also enhance water efficiency and provide a spa-like experience.

Toilets

Modern toilets are more water-efficient and come in one-piece or two-piece designs. Consider comfort-height or wall-mounted models for improved function and style.

Lighting

Replace outdated vanity lights or ceiling fixtures with:

  • LED recessed lights for a clean look
  • Sconces for balanced face lighting
  • Statement pendant lights for a bold design touch

Surfaces to Update: Countertops & Tiles

Your bathroom’s surfaces set the tone for theSitemap entire space. From vanity countertops to floor and wall tiles, choosing the right materials is essential for durability and visual appeal.

Bathroom Countertop Materials

Here are the most popular and practical countertop choices for bathrooms in Denver:

  • Quartz: Non-porous, durable, and available in many colors and patterns. Great for low-maintenance elegance.
  • Granite: A natural stone with unique patterns—requires sealing but offers timeless beauty.
  • Marble: Luxurious and classic, but more prone to etching and staining—best for low-traffic powder rooms or design-forward homes.
  • Solid Surface: Seamless, repairable, and available in many colors. A good mid-range option.
  • Laminate: Budget-friendly with improved durability and modern designs, though less water-resistant than other materials.
  • Concrete: Offers a modern, industrial look and can be customized with pigments and textures.

Popular Bathroom Tile Materials

Whether on the floor, walls, or shower surround, tile plays a huge role in bathroom design. Some excellent tile material options include:

  • Ceramic: Affordable, water-resistant, and available in endless designs. Great for walls and light-use floors.
  • Porcelain: Denser and more durable than ceramic—ideal for floors and wet areas like showers.
  • Natural Stone (Marble, Travertine, Slate): Elegant and timeless, but requires sealing and maintenance.
  • Glass Tile: Perfect for accents, backsplashes, and feature walls. Reflects light and adds a modern touch.
  • Mosaic Tile: Small-format tile ideal for curved surfaces, shower floors, and artistic designs.
  • Large Format Tiles: Fewer grout lines make these ideal for sleek, contemporary spaces and easier cleaning.
