Bathroom remodeling in Danville, IL
About this service
Danville's older homes are full of remodeling potential — and full of aging plumbing that needs to be addressed when the walls come open. Fidelis Plumbing handles all plumbing work for bathroom remodels throughout Danville, IL and Vermilion County, from simple fixture replacements to full gut remodels where original galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain stacks need to be completely replaced.

What we find inside Danville's older bathrooms
Many Danville homes were built in the 1940s–1960s with galvanized steel supply pipes and cast iron drain lines. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out — by the time you open walls for a remodel, the interior is often severely restricted or failing entirely. This is an opportunity: a bathroom remodel is the perfect time to replumb with modern PEX supply lines and PVC drain lines that will last another 50 years. We inspect what's behind the walls before giving a final estimate so you're not hit with surprise costs mid-project.
Our process
1.) Pre-demo inspection
We inspect existing plumbing before demolition begins. We identify galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and anything that needs replacement — and give you a final estimate before work starts.
2.)Full replumbing if needed
For pre-1970 Danville homes, we often replace galvanized supply with PEX and cast iron drains with PVC during the remodel. This is the right time to do it — walls are already open.
3.) Rough-in and coordination
We complete all rough-in work — supply, drain, and venting — coordinated with your GC, tile installer, or other contractors so the project stays on schedule.
4.) Finish plumbing and final inspection
We install all fixtures to spec and ensure the work passes final inspection. All labor backed by our two-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Can Fidelis handle a full bathroom gut remodel in Danville?
Yes. We handle the complete plumbing scope for full gut remodels — removing old galvanized supply, replacing cast iron drains, reconfiguring fixtures, and roughing in everything new before tile and finish work begins.
What's the cost of replumbing a bathroom during a remodel in Danville, IL?
Costs vary based on bathroom size, how much existing plumbing needs replacement, and whether fixtures are being relocated. We provide free on-site estimates. There are no hidden charges — you'll know the full scope and price before we start.
Should I replace my galvanized pipes during a bathroom remodel in Danville?
In most cases, yes — especially if your home was built before 1970. Once we're in the walls, replacing aged galvanized supply with PEX is far less expensive than doing it separately later, and it eliminates the risk of supply line failure in a freshly finished bathroom.
How do I get started with a bathroom remodel in Danville, IL?
Call 217-286-4191 to schedule a free on-site estimate. We'll walk through the scope of work, assess the existing plumbing, and give you a clear picture of what's involved and what it will cost.
Do you coordinate with my other contractors in Danville?
Yes. We work alongside your GC, tile installer, or designer. We can also provide referrals to trusted tradespeople in the Vermilion County area if needed.
