AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Anthony
A full bathroom remodel in Anthony, TX typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000, with tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500. Most projects take two to five weeks once we open the walls. If you live in Anthony and you’re tired of looking at a bathroom that was last updated during the Carter administration, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the job with you before anything gets priced.
Anthony sits in a strange spot, literally. Half our jobs here are on the Texas side of the line, half are steps away from the New Mexico border. That changes how a remodel gets permitted, inspected, and priced. We deal with it every week, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Anthony’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews on the ground in Anthony. That’s not a marketing line. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. If you want to look him up before signing anything, do it. He’d tell you the same thing over coffee.
Homeowners in Anthony have dealt with out-of-town outfits that send a salesman in a rented van, promise a number, then hand over a different bill when the tile’s already off the wall. We don’t work that way. Every scope change in Anthony gets a written change order before the work happens. Every allowance is on paper. If it’s not on paper, as Tom says, it’s a surprise waiting for a date.
Our crews know Anthony’s housing stock because they’ve crawled through enough of it. Slab-on-grade 1970s ranchers off Wildcat Drive. Newer tract homes on the edges pushing out from El Paso. Older adobe and masonry places that need a different touch entirely. The same crew that measures your bathroom will be the one swinging the hammer. If something’s wrong after we leave, one call brings Tom back. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, not whispered in the driveway.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Anthony
We cover every part of a bathroom remodel, but these are the jobs Anthony homeowners ask us about most. If yours is different, call anyway. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth doing.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut and rebuild in Anthony means new waterproofing, new subfloor where it’s rotted, new supply lines, new fixtures, new everything. On older Anthony homes, that also means bringing wiring and plumbing up to current code. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the inspector signs off before any wall gets closed back up. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most common upgrade we do in Anthony, especially for homeowners who want to stay in their house as long as possible. A curbless entry means no step to trip over. We frame for proper slope, install the pan correctly, and waterproof before a single tile goes up. Most walk-in shower installations in Anthony run $4,500 to $12,000 depending on glass, tile, and whether we’re moving drain lines through slab.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Taking out an old cast-iron tub and putting in a shower is the fastest way to make a small Anthony bathroom feel twice as big. The trick in Anthony is the slab. Most homes here sit on slab-on-grade foundations, so moving a drain isn’t just cutting a hole. It means breaking concrete and often hitting caliche, the rock-hard calcium carbonate layer just below the desert surface. We plan for it. A tub-to-shower conversion in Anthony usually runs $3,500 to $10,000.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Not every job needs a sledgehammer. If your vanity’s falling apart or the tile’s shot but the layout still works, we can replace what’s worn without touching what isn’t. Bathroom vanity installation in Anthony runs $800 to $3,000. We’ll show you good options and tell you which ones aren’t worth the money. Same goes for tile. The Chihuahuan Desert sun does a number on caulking and grout, but inside the house it’s mostly water damage and time we’re fighting.

Trusted Brands We Service in Anthony
We install fixtures and materials we can stand behind. For windows and glazing in Anthony bathrooms we’re seeing a lot of demand for, we carry Simonton and Ply Gem, both of which hold up well under the intense UV this part of Texas gets. For glasswork and enclosures, we’re comfortable working with CGI and PGT products. If a brand’s worth installing in an Anthony home, we’ll tell you. If it’s a mystery brand off a van, we won’t touch it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Anthony Homes
- State line permit confusion: Anthony’s two sides, Texas and New Mexico, sit within steps of each other. If your parcel is actually on the New Mexico side, a Texas permit is worthless. We confirm the parcel’s state jurisdiction before pulling anything. Contractors who skip that step can get hit with stop-work orders and voided permits.
- Brittle original wiring: Houses built in Anthony in the 70s and 80s often have original wiring with insulation that crumbles when you touch it. Once we open a wall, we’re not putting that back and covering it up. We write the electrical upgrade into a change order and get approval before moving forward.
- Failed waterproofing behind old tile: We open up Anthony bathrooms and regularly find water damage behind tile that looked fine from the front. Greenboard and mastic were common back then, and they don’t hold up in a humid bathroom. We rebuild with proper backer board and modern waterproofing membrane.
- Slab-on-grade drain relocation: Want to move the toilet or the shower drain? In Anthony, that usually means breaking through your foundation slab and hitting caliche. If the quote doesn’t include an excavation allowance for that, the price is going to change once they start digging. Ours includes it from day one.
On a 1970s slab-on-grade home off Wildcat Drive, our crew opened a bathroom wall and found original wiring with brittle insulation, undersized framing around the tub alcove, and failed waterproofing behind the tile. We wrote the electrical upgrade and load-bearing header into a change order before touching anything. Then we had the El Paso County inspector sign off on the rough-in before closing the wall. The homeowner saw every line item before paying a dollar more. That’s the only way we work in Anthony.

What moves the number? Moving plumbing through slab is the big one. Relocating a toilet or shower drain in Anthony means breaking concrete and possibly fighting caliche, which needs specialized excavation equipment. Custom glass for a walk-in shower adds cost. So does bringing 40-year-old wiring up to code. We write every allowance into the contract up front, and if something changes once walls are open, you get a line-item change order before we keep going. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Anthony
It depends entirely on which side of the state line your parcel sits. Anthony, TX is in El Paso County and needs a Texas permit, but some homes in the Anthony area are actually on the New Mexico side under Doña Ana County jurisdiction. We verify parcel-level state location before pulling any permit. If your contractor hasn’t done that, don’t sign anything yet. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check it for you before you spend a dollar.
Because in Anthony, the ground under your slab is often caliche, rock-hard calcium carbonate that laughs at a standard shovel. If the tub drain moves even a few inches, we’re breaking concrete and digging through it. We include the allowance in the quote so you’re not surprised. A quote without it is a quote that’s going to grow. Call (877) 610-1318 and bring us any written estimate. We’ll do a free second opinion and show you what’s missing.
We stop and write it up. Outdated wiring behind a bathroom wall is a code issue and a safety issue. We’ll put the required electrical work into a written change order with a price, and we won’t proceed until you approve it. We don’t bury old brittle wiring behind new tile and call it done. The El Paso County inspector will see the rough-in before we close anything up. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to talk through what a remodel might uncover in your specific home.
Yes, and we do them regularly across Anthony. The slab doesn’t stop the conversion, it just changes how the drain gets routed. We break out only the concrete we need, move the drain, set the new shower pan, and patch the slab properly. Most tub-to-shower conversions in Anthony run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on drain location and glass enclosure. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll measure your bathroom and give you a written number.
It’s absolutely possible, and honestly it’s one of our favorite kinds of jobs. Small bathrooms in Anthony’s older homes respond well to smart layout decisions, a corner shower instead of a tub, a wall-hung vanity, and lighter tile to bounce what little light there is. We’ve done dozens of small bathroom remodels here in the $5,000 to $12,000 range. Bring us the measurements or let us come out and see it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what’s realistic.
