Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Anaheim
A full bathroom remodel in Anaheim typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the size of the room, whether you’re moving plumbing, and the materials you pick. We’re the local crew that shows up when we say we will, and every number we quote arrives in writing before a single tile comes up. If you live in the flatlands west of the 57 or up in Anaheim Hills, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom with you, tape measure in hand, and put real numbers on paper.
Anaheim’s housing stock is older than most people realize. The 1950s and 1960s tract homes around the 92801 and 92805 areas were built with original galvanized plumbing and cast-iron drain lines that are now 60-plus years old. When we open a wall in a home off Lincoln Avenue or near Pearson Park, we expect to find surprises. That’s not a problem if you plan for it, and we do. The neighborhoods off East Street and West Broadway have their own quirks: slab foundations, original wiring, and bathroom layouts that were tight even in 1962.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Anaheim’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons in 1998 and his sons run crews today. You’ll see the same faces on day one that you see on the final walkthrough. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to Anaheim: the people who tear out your old tub and set your new shower pan are people Tom would vouch for at the hardware store on Saturday.
Our reputation in Anaheim is built on written change orders, permits pulled on every eligible job, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise printed on every contract. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. We serve all of Anaheim, from the resort-adjacent neighborhoods west of Harbor Boulevard up to the hillside subdivisions of Anaheim Hills, and we know how the city’s plan-check process works. We also install Jerith in Anaheim when the project calls for it. That matters when a remodel touches a load-bearing wall or moves a drain line. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly how we like it.
No trip charge inside Orange County. Free second opinion on any written estimate. Calls answered by a live person, 24 hours a day. If you’ve already got a bid from another Anaheim contractor, bring it to us and we’ll show you line by line where the comparison lands.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Anaheim
Every Anaheim bathroom remodel starts with a walkthrough and a written scope. No allowances that aren’t on paper. No change order that hits you at the end without your signature up front. Here’s what most Anaheim homeowners call us for.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A gut-and-replace remodel in Anaheim means pulling everything down to the studs and rebuilding it right. In the older tract homes near the 92801 and 92804 ZIP codes, that usually means replacing cast-iron drain lines and upgrading the vent stack while the wall is open. We handle the whole job: demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work, with permits pulled and inspections signed before you write the final check.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Anaheim right now, especially in mid-century homes where the original tub surround was never properly waterproofed. A curbless shower with a frameless glass panel opens up a small Anaheim bathroom dramatically. We build showers with full mortar bed construction and membrane waterproofing, not a fiberglass pan dropped in and caulked around.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower in Anaheim typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on tile choices and plumbing configuration. For homeowners who want to age in place in their Anaheim home, a low-threshold shower with a built-in bench is often the difference between staying in the house and moving. We install grab-blocking in the walls during framing so grab bars can be added later without tearing out tile.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Anaheim runs $800 to $3,000 for the vanity itself, plus countertop and plumbing work. We set custom and semi-custom vanities, lay porcelain and ceramic tile, install natural stone countertops, and finish with fixtures you can look up by brand. If you’re in an Anaheim Hills home with a 1990s builder-grade bathroom, switching out a cultured marble top and a yellowed fiberglass shower surround changes the whole room - and we can pair it with our Driveway & Pavers in Anaheim for a complete exterior refresh.

Trusted Brands We Service in Anaheim
We carry a range of faucet, shower valve, and tile brands that Anaheim plumbing supply houses stock, so replacement parts aren’t a scavenger hunt five years from now. When you work with our Bathroom Remodeling team, you’ll see names you recognize: Quikrete mortar beds and waterproofing products, and Techo-Bloc and Cambridge for any exterior step or landing work that ties into your bathroom project. We don’t install mystery brands off a van. If it goes in your Anaheim home, you can look it up before we set it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Anaheim Homes
Here’s what we actually find when we open up bathrooms in Anaheim. Not theory. Real conditions from real jobs.
- Water-damaged subfloor under original tubs. In the 1950s and 1960s tract homes across 92801, 92802, and 92804, the original tub was set on a mortar bed that eventually cracked. Water seeped into the subfloor for years. By the time we pull the tub, the plywood underneath is often soft enough to require replacement before any new flooring goes down.
- Cast-iron drain pipes at end of life. Most original Anaheim bathroom drain lines are cast iron installed 60 to 70 years ago. Rust scale narrows the pipe from the inside. When we move a toilet or shower drain during a remodel, we usually recommend replacing the exposed section with ABS rather than tying new work into failing iron.
- Failed waterproofing behind original tile. The original tile in many Anaheim tract homes was set over drywall, not cement board, and the shower pan was often a lead or vinyl liner that degraded decades ago. Mold and rotted framing behind the tile is common. We rebuild with cement board and a full membrane system so the wall stays dry.
- Anaheim Hills slab movement and cracked shower pans. In the hillside neighborhoods of Anaheim Hills, the expansive clay soils shift measurably in wet years. We see cracked shower pans and grout joints that open up because the slab underneath moved. Jumping a cracked shower pan with tile and hoping it holds isn’t a repair; it’s a delay. We address the pan the right way before any tile goes back.

Yes, it’s common in 1950s Anaheim tract homes. We coordinate that with a licensed abatement company and line-item it in your estimate before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Anaheim
A full bathroom remodel in Anaheim typically costs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000 and walk-in shower installations running $4,500 to $12,000. Your exact number depends on the size of the bathroom, whether plumbing moves, and the materials you choose. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item estimate, free.
Yes. We work across all Anaheim ZIP codes, including 92801, 92802, 92804, 92805, 92806, 92807, and 92808, from the flatland tract neighborhoods west of the 57 up through Anaheim Hills. We know the permitting differences between the flatlands and the hillside WUI zones, and we plan for them before we start.
Only if the scope changes, and only in writing. If we open a wall and find something that needs attention, like rotted framing or failing cast-iron pipe, we bring you a written change order before we spend a dollar on it. You sign it or you don’t. Nothing gets added to the final invoice that you didn’t approve on paper first.
We pull permits on every bathroom remodel where the City of Anaheim requires them, which includes plumbing changes, electrical changes, and any structural work. We schedule the inspections and we stay until they’re signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like having them on the job.
Every Barrett & Sons bathroom remodel in Anaheim includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written on the contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. We also honor manufacturer warranties on the materials we install, and we hand you the paperwork for every one.
