New Bathroom Walls, Joists, and Other Structural Elements

Since bathrooms collect moisture, there is a good chance you may have to replace drywall. In the case of bathrooms, you'll be using special moisture-resistent drywall commonly called "green board" and in the very wet areas like showers and baths you'll be using moisture-proof backer board. Hopefully, you don't need to replace anything beyond the wallboard. But if you do--that is, if the wall stud and joists are bad--they may need to be sistered or completely replaced.
6. Shower and Tub Repair, Refinishing, or Replacement
The shower, tub, or shower/tub combination is the heart of the bathroom. For many people, this may be the entire reason for the bathroom remodel.

If the worst thing is a few cracks, it is possible to self-repair your acrylic or fiberglass shower/tub for very little money. For many homeowners, though, the surface might be stained and discolored, so tub refinishing would be in order.

Got problems that go beyond repair and refinishing? It is possible to install a bathtub liner - sort of like an "overcoat" for your icky tub. Should those methods prove ineffective, you will need to go all the way and build a tiled shower. Alternatively and with a bit less fuss, you can install a pre-fabricated acrylic or fiberglass shower/tub. Pre-fab shower/tubs need no on-site building, because they have been fabricated in the factory - though make sure that you do not buy any unit too big to fit through your doorways.
7. Bathroom Flooring
Moisture is the culprit in bathrooms, so you can't just choose any kind of flooring. Carefully weigh all of your bathroom flooring options. A perennial favorite is ceramic tile, but laminate flooring and engineered flooring also do the trick. Whatever you do, avoid hardwood flooring, as it does not tolerate moisture well.
