FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Re-Bath Franchise

Re-Bath is the largest complete residential bathroom remodeling franchise in the United States, operating as a unified national brand in a category otherwise dominated by independent contractors. The company traces back to 1978, when it began selling and installing bathtub liners for the hospitality sector. It launched the Re-Bath residential brand in 1991 and shifted from a dealer network to a franchise model through the 2010s. It is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.

The model covers three service lines: tub and shower updates, complete bathroom remodels, and aging-in-place and accessibility solutions. Re-Bath handles each project from in-home design consultation through installation, using franchise-employed remodel crews rather than subcontractors, and backs work with lifetime product guarantees. Most materials are manufactured or supplied by Re-Bath, giving franchisees wholesale pricing and consistent product availability.

Franchisees run territory-protected, project-based businesses serving homeowners, supported by a National Accounts Program that ties the brand to big-box retailers and thousands of home-improvement outlets. The network spans 140+ locations across 43 states.

Why buy a Re-Bath Franchise?

Re-Bath gives a buyer a recognised national brand in a category still served mostly by independent contractors, a meaningful edge when competing for homeowner trust on higher-value projects. The brand’s scale supports a built-in supply chain: because Re-Bath manufactures and supplies most materials, franchisees buy at wholesale, and the National Accounts Program channels work from big-box retail partners and thousands of home-improvement outlets, giving owners lead sources an independent remodeler would have to build alone.

The model also offers protected territories, a focused three-line service menu, and in-house crews instead of subcontractors, giving owners direct control over quality and scheduling in a market that has stayed resilient across economic cycles. To buy a Re-Bath franchise as a resale means acquiring an operating crew, customer base and local reputation already in place.

Re-Bath – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Re-Bath builds franchisee training around its Phoenix headquarters and corporate-owned stores, which serve as the system's training backbone. The FDD outlines up to 376 hours of classroom training and up to 144 hours of on-the-job training, plus a sales-process week at headquarters. Ongoing support includes business coaches, performance metrics, operations manuals, marketing materials, peer access to 70+ franchisees, and the National Accounts Program. Buyers of an existing Re-Bath unit should confirm what transfer training and corporate onboarding the franchisor provides to incoming owners and inherited crews.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Re-Bath suits a process-driven, operations-led owner comfortable managing employed remodel crews, scheduling projects and holding teams to quality and close-rate standards. Skills in sales conversion, local marketing and customer relationships matter more than hands-on remodeling ability, since the trades work is done by employed crews. Construction or remodeling experience helps but is not required given the structured training. The brand fits hands-on local operators and multi-unit investors who can drive lead generation and run a project-based business with disciplined execution.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Re-Bath has ranked on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 for five consecutive years (most recently #132 in 2025) and was named to Entrepreneur's Top Franchises for Multi-Unit Owners. It appears on the 2025 Franchise Times Top 400 (#145) and has placed in Qualified Remodeler's Top 500 for eight straight years, most recently #9 overall and #1 in bathroom remodeling, plus #8 on the 2024 Home Improvement Pro 200. The brand also made the 2024 Inc. 5000. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews and reputation.

  4. Industry / Market

    The North American bath remodeling market was valued at roughly $72 billion in 2024 and continues to grow, with Americans spending well over $18 billion a year on bathroom remodels alone. Demand is supported by aging housing stock, rising home equity and strong interest in aging-in-place and accessibility upgrades as the population ages. Bathroom remodeling has proved relatively resilient across economic cycles, as homeowners often reinvest in existing homes when they choose to stay put. For resale buyers, local housing age, household incomes and competition shape how much of this demand a territory can capture.
