This Dallas TX bathroom remodel project included extensive plumbing and electrical upgrades to support a redesigned luxury bathroom layout featuring a new shower, standalone bathtub, relocated drain piping, dual shower water sources, recessed lighting, and upgraded dimmer controls. The project required both under-slab plumbing modifications and electrical upgrades to properly support the homeowner’s final bathroom design and fixture layout.

This bathroom remodel required concrete cutting, drain relocation, dual shower water supply design, new recessed lighting, dimmer controls, and rerouting plumbing lines beneath the slab foundation.

Scope of Plumbing Work Performed

The plumbing portion of the project included:

Installation of a new standalone bathtub
Relocation of the bathtub drain beneath the slab
Cutting and opening the concrete slab
Moving the tub P-trap to the new tub location
Rerouting hot and cold water lines for the new tub
Adding a second water source to the shower system
Supporting dual shower heads without pressure loss
Reconfiguring shower plumbing layout

Because the new standalone tub location differed from the original plumbing layout, the concrete slab had to be opened so the drain system and P-trap could be repositioned directly beneath the center of the new tub.

Dual Shower Head Water Pressure Design

One of the homeowner’s primary goals was maintaining strong water pressure while operating two separate shower heads simultaneously.

To accomplish this, an additional water source was routed to the shower system to help balance flow demand and maintain proper pressure during operation.

The upgraded shower plumbing design supports:

Improved water distribution
Balanced shower performance
Reduced pressure drop
Enhanced shower functionality

Luxury shower systems with multiple shower heads often require plumbing redesign to maintain proper water pressure and fixture performance.

Concrete Cutting and Drain Relocation

Because the standalone tub required a centered drain position, the existing drain location beneath the slab no longer aligned with the new fixture placement.

The project required:

Concrete cutting
Slab opening
Drain relocation
P-trap repositioning
Drain line reconnection

The tub drain and P-trap were relocated beneath the slab to properly center the plumbing system with the standalone bathtub installation.

Electrical Work Performed

The electrical portion of the project included:

Installation of 4 recessed can lights
Installation of 2 new switch sets
Dimmer switch installation
Vanity lighting controls
Bathroom lighting upgrades

The upgraded lighting system improved both bathroom functionality and lighting control while enhancing the overall bathroom appearance.
