Custom Bathroom Plumbing Remodel: Shower, Tub and Electronic Toilet
US Construction & Remodeling Corp. performed and managed the plumbing scope for this custom bathroom remodel as part of a larger home renovation. The work coordinated a multi-outlet shower system, a freestanding tub and floor-mounted filler, an electronic toilet, and vanity plumbing with the surrounding finish and electrical work.
Project at a glance
Four plumbing scopes coordinated inside one bathroom remodel
Freestanding tub
Drain and water lines repositioned for the selected tub and floor-mounted filler.
Electronic toilet
Heavy one-piece fixture installed after electrical provision and fixture clearances were coordinated.
Vanity plumbing
Accessible drain, water, and faucet connections completed around the selected vanity and sink.
Field duration
Approximately two field days with a two-person plumbing crew, as recorded in the project interview.
Project context
This coordinated plumbing scope was completed as part of a larger home renovation.
Why the plumbing was planned early
Fixture selections changed where the hidden connections needed to land
A custom bathroom is not a set of independent fixture swaps. The shower controls, tub drain, tub filler, toilet water connection, electrical receptacle, vanity drain, and finish surfaces all compete for exact locations.
The field interview records that the shower valve work was completed while the wall was open, before tile. The freestanding tub required its drain and water lines to be moved to the selected fixture layout. The electronic toilet required electrical coordination and careful anchoring through the finished tile.
That sequence reduced the risk of discovering a misplaced connection only after the finished surfaces were installed.
Coordinated installation sequence
The rough-in followed the fixture plan—not the other way around
Confirm selected fixtures and control layout
The shower outlets and controls, freestanding tub, floor-mounted filler, electronic toilet, vanity, and faucet were treated as connected layout decisions.
Set concealed plumbing before finishes
The custom shower diverter and supply arrangement were installed while the construction was open and before the tile work closed the wall.
Relocate tub connections
The former tub layout was removed, and the drain and water locations were adjusted for the freestanding tub and floor-mounted filler.
Coordinate the electronic toilet
Electrical provision, water connection, floor anchoring, fixture weight, and final clearances were addressed before the toilet was set.
Complete accessible fixture connections
The bathroom vanity drain, water, and faucet connections were completed around the selected cabinet, sink, and countertop sequence.
Freestanding tub plumbing
The tub location drove the drain and water-line work
The existing conventional tub was removed and replaced with a freestanding model. The field account records moving the drain and the water lines to fit the selected tub and floor-mounted filler.
Freestanding fixtures leave less room to hide alignment errors. The visible final placement shows why the filler position, drain center, wall clearances, finished floor, and service access need to be coordinated before installation.
Each freestanding tub has a fixture-specific rough-in. Manufacturer requirements, framing, joists, slab or subfloor conditions, and the finish plan determine the final drain, filler, clearance, and access details.
Electronic toilet coordination
Water, power, weight, and finished tile all mattered
The project used a heavy one-piece electronic toilet. The installation required a nearby electrical receptacle, an accessible water connection, and secure floor anchoring through the finished tile.
The electrician provided the required electrical point before final fixture setup. The plumbing crew then handled the fixture placement and accessible plumbing connection recorded in the field interview.
Because electronic-toilet dimensions and connection locations vary, the selected model should be available early enough to verify outlet placement, water-supply position, clearances, and anchoring requirements.
Custom shower plumbing
Multiple outlets required the valve plan before tile
The finished shower combines an overhead outlet, handheld shower, and separate control functions. The field interview records that the valve and diverter arrangement was installed during the open-construction phase so the concealed connections matched the selected fixture layout.
Outlet locations
Overhead and handheld positions were coordinated with the shower layout and finished surfaces.
Control functions
The control and diverter arrangement was planned around how the two water outlets would be used.
Finish coordination
Concealed plumbing was addressed before tile so the visible trim could align with the final wall plane.

What this project demonstrates
Custom fixture work is strongest when the trades share one sequence
Select before rough-in
Exact fixture models affect drain, supply, power, control, anchoring, and clearance decisions.
Protect finish work
Concealed plumbing and electrical provisions should be checked before tile, countertop, and final fixture installation.
Define scope boundaries
Plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, countertop, tile, and finish work should be assigned before the schedule is locked.
A comparable remodel requires a property-specific scope and written price before work is authorized.
