When a Bathroom Is Unique…in all the Wrong ways
From Awkward to Awesome: A Bathroom Remodel in North Central Florida
Some bathrooms technically work… but still don’t work well.
This Gainesville Florida bathroom was one of those spaces. It had plenty of square footage and natural light, but the layout was awkward, the privacy was lacking, and the overall flow just didn’t make sense.
So we did what we do best at Fix It Pros—we fixed it.
The Before: A Layout That Missed the Mark
At first glance, the bathroom looked serviceable. But once you stepped inside, the issues became obvious:
🚿 A large window inside the shower that let in light—but very little privacy
🧱 Walls that chopped the room into uncomfortable, closed-off sections
🚪 A layout that felt tight and awkward despite the room’s size
🛁 A bulky sunk in tub/shower area that dominated the space
This is a common issue we see in older homes throughout Gainesville, Alachua, and the surrounding North Central Florida area—bathrooms designed without flow, function, or modern living in mind.
The Fix: Removing the Wall (and the Weirdness)
The biggest improvement in this remodel came from a single smart move:
removing the wall that was boxing the bathroom in.
Once the wall was gone, the entire space opened up.
✔️ Better flow from vanity to shower
✔️ A layout that finally made sense
✔️ More usable space without adding square footage
✔️ A clean slate to redesign the shower properly
The After: Bright, Modern, and Private
The finished bathroom feels like a completely different home.
✨ A sleek walk-in shower with a modern glass enclosure
✨ A redesigned window that still brings in natural light—without sacrificing privacy
✨ A bold, modern vanity with improved storage
✨ Durable, water-resistant flooring perfect for Florida homes
✨ Updated lighting that makes the room feel open and welcoming
This remodel proves that you don’t need a bigger bathroom—you need a better design.
