Bath Tune-Up Franchise

Bath Tune-Up is franchised by HFC KTU LLC, a Delaware company formed on December 7, 2020, with its principal office in Aberdeen, South Dakota. HFC KTU acquired substantially all the assets of its Kitchen Tune-Up predecessor in December 2020. That predecessor’s Kitchen Tune-Up franchise history dates to April 1988; the two brands offer distinct remodeling services. In 2021, Bath Tune-Up franchises were offered to existing Kitchen Tune-Up franchisees under terms different from the current offering.

The February 20, 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document identifies Home Franchise Concepts as the immediate parent and JM Family Enterprises as the ultimate parent. Bath Tune-Up’s role within that group is bathroom remodeling, ranging from targeted fixture and surround replacements to complete room renovations. Approved services include tub and shower conversions, glass shower walls, vanities, lighting, plumbing fixtures, flooring, storage and accessibility features, with related construction, plumbing and electrical work subject to applicable requirements.

Most franchisees operate from home, although office or workspace arrangements are possible and a showroom may be established with written approval. The 2026 FDD lists a $19,950 initial franchise fee and a separate $45,000 initial territory fee, for $64,950 in combined initial franchise and territory fees before any qualifying discount. The vehicle estimate varies depending on whether an owner already has a suitable vehicle, leases or finances one, or purchases one. A showroom or separate premises can increase costs.

For U.S. applicants, the official franchise website lists required liquid capital of $68,000. These applicant qualifications were checked on October 16, 2026, on the official franchise investment page and are separate from the FDD investment estimate.

Initial training and launch preparation

Bath Tune-Up requires 40 to 60 hours of online preparation before a program of up to 13 days combining virtual and in-person training. Instruction is delivered through virtual sessions, the HFC Experience Center in Coppell, Texas, and activities at the franchise location. The published curriculum lists 78.75 classroom or virtual hours and 79.25 practical hours, including business setup, operations, hiring, pricing, project planning, sales, marketing, supplier workshops and launch-team mentoring.

Training for up to two people is included without an additional training charge. Further attendees are subject to availability and the applicable fee, currently $150 per person per day. Franchisees pay travel, lodging, meals and employee wages. The owner or full-time manager must complete every phase successfully before beginning operations. The initial franchise fee also includes the startup package, with access to manuals, staff-training resources and a list of required equipment, supplies and approved vendors.

Tools and support after opening

A 12-week post-training program and launch team guide opening activities. Representatives are available during normal business hours for operating and management consultation, and training is provided as new products, services and methods are introduced. Requested on-site refresher training is offered as the franchisor considers appropriate at $500 per day plus travel and living expenses. Other required training programs may be offered without tuition while the owner pays attendee expenses.

The required customer relationship management system supports leads, appointments, proposals, invoicing, project photographs and operational reporting; the FDD states that access is currently provided without an additional charge. A laptop is supplied at the start of virtual classroom training, while the franchisee is responsible for replacements and required upgrades. Bath Tune-Up assists with initial promotion and maintains the brand website. Owners also conduct local marketing and contribute to the national advertising fund, whose spending is not guaranteed within an individual territory. Home operation is permitted; the franchisor does not select office, warehouse or showroom sites for the owner.

Bath Tune-Up offers a defined specialty within the wider home improvement market: helping customers update a bathroom or complete a larger remodel through one local business. The range of approved services lets an owner discuss different project scopes, while common training, supplier standards and project systems provide a consistent starting point for sales and delivery. The home-based option can also suit someone who prefers managing appointments and installations over operating a retail showroom.

The ownership opportunity is strongest for a leader who can develop local demand, set customer expectations and coordinate dependable workmanship. Bath Tune-Up prefers active operators; an owner who does not run the business personally must employ a trained full-time manager devoted to its operation and development. A protected territory limits specified competing Bath Tune-Up operations, subject to reserved rights and key-account arrangements. The attraction is a focused remodeling brand and operating framework paired with the owner’s local relationships, project discipline and service standards.
