Bathroom Demolition in Potomac, MD

Bathrooms are one of the most renovated rooms in any home, and every bathroom renovation starts with tearing out the old one. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel in Potomac, The Junk Gorillas handle the demolition so your contractor can walk into a clean, empty space ready for new work. We remove tubs, showers, vanities, tile, toilets, flooring — everything down to the studs if that’s what you need.

What Bathroom Demolition Includes

A full bathroom demo means stripping the room down completely. We remove bathtubs and shower surrounds, pull out vanities and sinks, take up tile from walls and floors, remove toilets, disconnect and haul away light fixtures, mirrors, medicine cabinets, and all cabinetry. By the time we’re done, your contractor has a blank canvas.

For partial demos, we can target specific areas — maybe you’re keeping the tub but replacing everything else, or just removing tile and flooring. We’ll work with whatever scope your project calls for.

Why Bathroom Demo Needs a Professional Crew

Bathrooms are compact, water-intensive spaces with plumbing behind every wall. A careless demolition can crack drain lines, damage studs shared with adjacent rooms, or release moisture trapped behind old tile. Older homes in Potomac and Bethesda may have cast iron drain pipes, asbestos-containing materials in old flooring or joint compound, or lead paint under layers of newer paint.

Our crew knows what to look for. We work methodically from fixtures inward, protecting surrounding areas from dust and debris. We seal off doorways, lay down protective coverings, and contain the mess so the rest of your home stays clean.

What We Handle

• Bathtubs — Cast iron, fiberglass, acrylic, and steel tubs. Cast iron tubs in older Potomac homes can weigh 300+ pounds — we have the crew and equipment to get them out safely.
• Shower surrounds — Tile showers, prefab enclosures, glass doors, and custom walk-ins.
• Tile — Wall tile, floor tile, backsplash tile. We remove it along with the backer board underneath.
• Vanities and countertops — From simple pedestal sinks to double-vanity setups with stone countertops.
• Toilets and fixtures — Complete removal including wax ring and flange cleaning.
• Flooring — Tile, vinyl, linoleum, and subflooring when needed.

Our Process

We start with a walkthrough to understand the full scope — what’s coming out, what’s staying, and what your contractor needs. Then we give you a straightforward price. On demo day, our crew shows up on time with the right tools. We work efficiently, load everything into our trucks, and sweep the space clean before we leave.

Most single-bathroom demos wrap up in one day. Larger master bathrooms with extensive tile or custom features may take a second day. We coordinate with your contractor’s timeline so there’s no gap between demo and rebuild.

Pricing

Bathroom demolition pricing depends on the size of the bathroom and what’s being removed. A small powder room with a pedestal sink and toilet is on the lower end. A large master bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, double vanity, and floor-to-ceiling tile is a bigger job. We provide free on-site estimates with no hidden fees — the price we quote is the price you pay.
