AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Celina
Bathroom remodeling in Celina, TX typically runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full gut-and-replace project, with smaller upgrades like vanities and walk-in showers starting around $3,500-$12,000. Most Celina homes are newer production builds, so the most common job we handle is swapping out builder-grade vanities, fiberglass tubs, and basic tile for finishes the homeowner actually chose. If you’re in a home that’s still under its 1-2 year builder warranty, the smart move is calling a contractor who knows how to protect that coverage while you upgrade. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk through what makes sense for your specific house.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Celina’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re Tom Barrett and his sons. We run our own crews, answer our own calls, and live close enough to Celina that Tom is on-site most days, not dialing in from a regional office. We’ve been at this since 1998, and our Bathroom Remodeling team knows the difference between a true remodel and a warranty-protection job better than most outfits do.
What matters in Celina specifically is that most remodel work happens inside houses still under the builder’s 1-2 year workmanship warranty. We coordinate with the original builder so your plumbing and structural coverage stays intact while we replace what you actually want replaced. Every price change is a written change order before work happens, every permit gets pulled, and every inspection gets signed. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: one call brings Tom back if something isn’t right.
Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. We background-check every crew member who carries the Barrett name, and a live person answers the phone 24/7. No voicemail boxes, no out-of-state call centers.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Celina
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We tear out the builder’s basic tile, fiberglass surround, and vanity, then rebuild the space with materials you select. In Celina’s newer homes, this often means working around post-tension slab floors, which requires a structural review before any floor work happens. We handle that before we make any cuts.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Replacing a basic tub or cramped shower with a walk-in shower is one of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades for Celina homeowners. We install Moen and Delta thermostatic systems, tile to your spec, and frameless glass enclosures. We’ve done enough of these in Celina to know how the local water pressure and calcium levels affect fixture choices, so we recommend finishes that hold up.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the single most requested bathroom project in Celina right now. The standard builder includes a fiberglass tub-shower combo, and homeowners quickly realize they never take baths. We recently completed a conversion in Mustang Lakes where the home was only 14 months old and still under the builder’s 2-year workmanship warranty. We pulled permits, coordinated the rough-in inspection with Celina’s building department, and documented a pre-existing hairline slab crack before any shoring work. Final inspection sign-off kept their structural warranty intact. That’s the difference between our approach and a contractor who just starts cutting.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones of the bathroom are fine and the finishes are the problem. Builder-grade vanities, beige tile, and basic chrome fixtures are the first things Celina homeowners want gone. We replace vanities from $800-$3,000 installed, retile floors and walls, and swap out fixtures with brands like Moen and Kohler that you can actually research.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Powder rooms and secondary bathrooms in Celina homes are typically 40-70 square feet. A small bathroom remodel runs $5,000-$12,000 depending on tile scope and whether you’re changing the footprint. These jobs typically take 5-8 working days from demo to final inspection.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
We install frameless glass enclosures as part of a larger remodel or as a standalone upgrade. The brands we carry are fabricated to spec, measured on-site, and installed by our own crew, not a third party.
Bathtub Replacement
For homeowners who do use the tub, we replace fiberglass builder tubs with cast iron or acrylic soaker tubs. It’s a straightforward job in most Celina homes, though we always verify the subfloor and any plumbing access before we quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Celina
We stock and install brands you can look up: Moen, Delta, Kohler, and Schluter waterproofing systems, among others. For Bathroom Remodeling in Celina, we keep commonly needed parts local so a fixture swap doesn’t stall while we wait on a distributor in Dallas. We also carry Techo-Bloc and Quikrete products for shower bases and bath prep work. What we won’t do is install a mystery brand off a van and tell you it’s “just as good.”
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Celina Homes
- Warranty-voiding repairs by unapproved contractors. Celina homes are mostly built by DR Horton, Lennar, and Perry Homes. Using a contractor not on the builder’s approved vendor list can void the home’s plumbing warranty on the very bathroom being remodeled. We coordinate with the builder before starting work.
- Celina’s municipal inspection backlog. With so many subdivisions under active build-out, a rough-in inspection that normally takes days can sit for two weeks. We build that into our schedule and maintain relationships with the city’s building department so your project doesn’t stall.
- Post-tension slab complications. Almost every Celina home sits on a post-tension engineered slab. Cutting into the floor without a structural review can damage the post-tension cables that keep the slab from moving on the expansive clay soil. We review before we cut, every time.
- Builder-grade waterproofing failures. Many production builders install fiberglass surrounds with minimal waterproofing behind them. When we open walls in Celina homes, we frequently find no moisture barrier. We install Schluter waterproofing as standard on every shower we build.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Celina
No, if the right steps are followed. You must use a contractor who is on the builder’s approved vendor list or who coordinates with the builder before any work begins, pulls permits, and gets inspections signed. We have done this for Celina homeowners in DR Horton, Lennar, and Perry Homes communities. The key is documentation: every permit, every inspection, every change order in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain exactly what to ask your builder before we touch anything.
The tub-to-shower conversion. Almost every production builder in Celina installs a fiberglass tub-shower combo in the primary bathroom, and most homeowners want a walk-in shower with a Moen or Delta thermostatic system and frameless glass instead. Expect to pay $3,500-$10,000 depending on tile and glass choices. Get a free estimate by calling (877) 610-1318.
Yes, if you’re changing plumbing, moving walls, or altering the footprint. Celina requires permits for most bathroom remodels beyond cosmetic finish swaps like paint and vanity replacement. We pull permits on every eligible job, and the inspection sign-off is part of what keeps your builder warranty intact. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, walk away. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer on your specific project.
Bathroom remodels are interior work, so HOA rules rarely apply unless you’re changing exterior walls, plumbing venting through the roof, or making structural changes. Some master-planned communities in Celina, including Light Farms and Mustang Lakes, have notification requirements for any work that touches shared walls or exterior penetrations. We handle the HOA paperwork when needed. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you figure out what your specific HOA requires.
Celina sits on the Black Land Prairie, where expansive Vertisol clay shrinks and swells with moisture changes. Your home’s post-tension slab is engineered for that movement. Any bathroom remodel that involves cutting into the slab, moving a drain, or adding a new shower pan needs a structural review first. We do that review before we cut, because damaging a post-tension cable is a five-figure mistake. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate and we’ll explain it in plain English.
