In Hammonton, many homes have bathrooms that were built decades ago with outdated layouts and wasted space. A small bathroom remodel fixes that by rethinking where every fixture goes and how the room flows day to day.
DeCicco Property Group has been remodeling bathrooms across South Jersey for over seven years. We work with homeowners in Hammonton, Egg Harbor Township, Vineland, and surrounding towns to turn tight, outdated bathrooms into clean, functional spaces.
This page covers what goes into a small bathroom remodel – from layout planning and fixture selection to tile work and finishing details. Every project is built around how you actually use the room.

A small bathroom remodel is more than swapping out a vanity or adding paint. It is a full rework of how the room is set up, what materials are used, and how each fixture fits together.
Most small bathroom remodels in Hammonton include:
Projects typically take two to four weeks depending on the scope. If the layout stays the same, work moves faster. If walls move or plumbing shifts, we add time for framing and rough-in work.
We handle the full build from demo to finish. You do not need to hire separate trades.
Layout is the single biggest factor in how a small bathroom feels. A good layout puts the shower, vanity, and toilet in the right spots so nothing blocks the door swing or walking path.
For Hammonton homes, we often work with one-wall layouts that keep all plumbing on a single wall. This saves cost on pipe runs and opens up the opposite wall for a towel bar or recessed shelf.
Corner showers with frameless glass doors are one of the best options for small bathrooms. They take up less floor space than a tub-shower combo and make the room feel twice as large.
Floating vanities are another smart choice. They mount to the wall with no legs or base, which frees up floor space and makes cleaning easier. We pair them with wall-mounted faucets when counter space is tight.
Pocket doors or barn-style sliders replace swinging doors that eat into the room. On bathrooms under 40 square feet, this one change can make a real difference.
The right fixtures make a small bathroom work harder without feeling crowded. The wrong ones waste space and fight the layout.
For vanities, we typically install 24-inch to 36-inch single-sink units in small bathrooms. Shaker-style cabinets with soft-close drawers give you real storage without taking up the room. Marble, quartz, and solid-surface countertops hold up well in humid spaces.
Compact toilets with a round front or comfort-height elongated models fit well in tight floor plans. We recommend models with a concealed trapway for easier cleaning.
For showers, a frameless glass enclosure with a low-profile base is the standard. We use porcelain or ceramic tile on the walls – large-format tiles with fewer grout lines give a cleaner look and are easier to maintain.
Recessed medicine cabinets, built-in shower niches, and towel hooks instead of bars all help keep the room open. In older Hammonton homes where walls are plaster over lath, we frame out the recesses properly so everything sits flush.
Luxury vinyl plank is our go-to for bathroom floors. It is waterproof, warm underfoot, and holds up to daily use.
Small bathrooms leave no room for error. Here are the mistakes we see most often in Hammonton and across Atlantic County.
Skipping the exhaust fan upgrade. Older homes often have undersized or broken bathroom fans. Without proper ventilation, moisture builds up and causes mold behind walls and peeling paint. We always verify the CFM rating and duct run during a remodel.
Choosing oversized fixtures. A 60-inch vanity in a 5×8 bathroom blocks the walking path and makes the room feel smaller. We measure the space first and pick fixtures that fit the footprint – not the showroom.
Ignoring waterproofing. Tile looks good on day one, but water will find its way behind it without a proper membrane. We use sheet membrane or liquid-applied waterproofing behind every shower wall and on the floor pan. This is not optional.
Going dark on colors. Dark tile and dark cabinets shrink a small space visually. Light, neutral tones bounce light around the room and make it feel more open. If you want contrast, we keep it to an accent wall or niche.
Every small bathroom remodel starts with a walkthrough. We measure the room, check the plumbing and electrical, and talk through what you want the finished space to look and feel like.
From there, we put together a scope of work with material selections, a layout plan, and a timeline. You approve the plan before any work begins.
Demo and rough-in happen first. We remove old fixtures, tile, and drywall as needed. If plumbing or electrical needs updating, we handle it during this phase. In many Hammonton homes built before the 1980s, we find galvanized supply lines or outdated wiring that should be replaced while the walls are open.
After rough-in passes inspection, we move to tile, vanity install, toilet set, and trim. Final details like mirrors, lighting, towel hardware, and caulking wrap up the project.
We keep the job site clean and communicate daily. Most small bathroom remodels finish in two to three weeks.
