Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Cleburne
Bathroom remodeling in Cleburne typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with smaller refreshes starting around $5,000 and walk-in shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $12,000. If you live near the historic courthouse square or out toward Keene, you already know the older homes here hide surprises behind the walls: cracked cast-iron plumbing, uneven floors from decades of clay-soil movement, and stud spacing that predates modern codes. Our Bathroom Remodeling team works on Cleburne homes every week, so none of that slows us down. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate and have Tom Barrett walk the job with you personally.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cleburne’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and he still meets homeowners face-to-face before any contract gets written. That matters in Cleburne, where word travels fast and a contractor’s reputation sticks for a generation - the same reason homeowners trust our Fence Installation in Cleburne team. The crews working your bathroom are Tom’s sons and the men they’ve trained, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Every job includes pulled permits and signed inspections, every price change arrives as a written change order before work starts, and every finished bathroom carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
We understand Cleburne’s housing stock because we’ve worked on all of it: the late-1800s Victorians around the courthouse, the 1950s brick ranch houses off Nolan River Road, and the newer tract builds near the 76031 and 76033 zip codes. Older foundation movement and outdated framing require bathroom remodels that do more than swap a vanity. You need plumbing that won’t leak through your original subfloor and waterproofing that holds up through our drought-and-deluge cycle. That’s the standard we build to, and you can verify Tom’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Cleburne
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A complete Cleburne bathroom remodel means gutting to the studs, correcting any framing or subfloor issues we find, and rebuilding with plumbing that meets current Texas Residential Construction Code. Homes near downtown that still have original galvanized piping and cast-iron drain lines almost always need partial repiping, and we handle that in-house. Expect a full tear-out and rebuild in Cleburne to run $9,000 to $28,000 depending on footprint, finishes, and what’s hiding in the walls.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Cleburne, especially in ranch houses where the original tub-shower combo wastes half the room. We install curbless entries where the framing allows, reinforced wall backing for grab bars, and tile systems designed for clay-soil movement so you won’t see diagonal cracks reappearing after a dry summer. Walk-in shower installation in Cleburne runs $4,500 to $12,000, and shower replacements alone start around $3,000.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Those original cast-iron tubs in mid-century Cleburne homes are heavy, chipped, and often sitting on floors that have shifted for sixty years. Converting to a step-in shower opens up the space and eliminates the climb-over-the-tub barrier that eventually becomes unsafe. In Cleburne, tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the condition of the existing drain location and whether we need to re-slope the subfloor for proper drainage.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Some Cleburne bathrooms don’t need a full gut, they need the vanity pulled, the original 4×4 tile borders pried off, and modern fixtures installed on properly reinforced walls. We build custom vanity bases to fit the odd dimensions you find in older Craftsmans, where nothing is square. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000, and we’ll help you choose materials from brands you can actually look up, not whatever is on the truck that morning.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cleburne
We install materials we’d put in our own homes, which is why we run Andersen and Marvin windows on bathroom exterior walls and specify plumbing fixtures and tile from manufacturers with real warranties and local distribution. If you’re remodeling near Keene or Joshua and want to verify a brand before it goes in, you can. We’ll bring samples to your Cleburne home and write every brand, model, and material grade into the contract before work begins. No mystery materials, no allowance games.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Cleburne Homes
- Foundation-shift wall cracks and out-of-level floors. Cleburne’s Blackland Prairie clay shrinks in summer and heaves after rain. Diagonal cracks above door frames and gaps between the tub skirt and floor are the telltale signs. Our tile backer systems and flexible caulk joints are designed for this movement, because rigid installations here always fail.
- Cast-iron and galvanized plumbing at end of life. Pre-1960 Cleburne homes near the courthouse square still carry original drain lines that are rusted from the inside out. A bathroom remodel is the right time to replace them, before the finished tile goes up and a slow leak starts soaking your new subfloor.
- Improper waterproofing from previous flips. The seismic swarms Cleburne experienced in 2008 and 2009 left a lot of homes with fresh diagonal cracks behind shower surrounds. Crews from outside Johnson County often tile right over them without addressing the movement that caused them. We treat diagonal drywall cracks in bathrooms as something to investigate, not cover with patch and paint.
- Undersized bathroom exhaust ventilation. Cleburne’s humid spring and fall seasons make mold a real issue in bathrooms that only have a small ceiling fan or, in some older homes, just a window. We size and install ventilation rated for the square footage so your new shower doesn’t start growing mildew within two years.

That’s why we never give a hard price over the phone. We walk the job, open the access panel if there is one, and write you a line-item estimate. You’ll also want to factor in any finish upgrades like frameless glass surrounds, heated flooring, or custom tile work. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free, and we’ll honor our published offers: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Cleburne
Most full bathroom remodels in Cleburne take 3 to 6 weeks from demo to final inspection, with the range depending on whether we’re replacing framing, repiping, or correcting subfloor damage. Older homes near the courthouse tend to run longer because of what we find once the walls are open. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific house after the walkthrough.
Only if something changes, and you’ll get it in writing before we proceed.

An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprise invoices.

Cleburne pricing is generally the same as surrounding areas for materials and labor, but two local factors add cost you won’t see quoted by out-of-town crews: foundation-related subfloor corrections on expansive clay, and the extra plumbing replacement older homes frequently require.
