AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Delray Beach
Bathroom remodeling in Delray Beach typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut renovation, with walk-in showers starting around $4,500 and tub-to-shower conversions beginning near $3,500. Most projects take two to four weeks once permits clear, though barrier-island work in the 33483 ZIP can add time for coastal review. If you’re weighing a remodel in Century Village, along Atlantic Avenue, or anywhere in the 33444, 33446, or 33484 ZIP codes, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We’re the owner-operated crew that shows up, pulls the permits, and puts every change in writing before a single wall opens.
We know Delray Beach’s housing stock because we’ve worked in it for decades: CBS block homes from the 1980s and 1990s west of I-95, mid-century ranches on the barrier island, and tight condo units in active-adult communities where accessibility is now the first question, not an afterthought. Our Bathroom Remodeling team handles the full scope, from moving a drain in a slab to hanging a frameless glass enclosure, and we coordinate every permit with Delray’s building department before we show up with tools.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Delray Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a city where plenty of homeowners have been burned by outfits that quote one number on the phone and hand over a different bill at the door. Our name is on every truck, our address and license number are published where you can look them up, and Tom’s sons run the crews in Delray Beach most days. You won’t get a dispatcher sending strangers to your house.
Every job we take in Delray Beach includes permits pulled and inspections signed, written change orders before any scope change touches the work, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise on the contract itself. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. We also answer live 24/7, not a voicemail box in another state. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our customers in the western ZIPs, Kings Point, and Century Village consistently mention two things: we show up when we say we will, and we explain what a change order is before it becomes one. For a city where the water table sits 18 to 24 inches below grade in many areas, that local knowledge keeps surprises off your invoice.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Delray Beach
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Delray Beach means gutting to the studs, moving or replacing the shower pan, re-plumbing the supply lines, rewiring, and rebuilding with materials that hold up to Florida humidity. In 1980s CBS homes around Hagen Ranch Road and the 33446 ZIP, we often find settled subfloors and slab work that inland contractors don’t plan for. We price for what’s actually under the tile, not what we hope is under it. Typical range: $9,000 to $28,000.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Delray Beach usually runs $4,500 to $12,000. For the 55+ communities like Century Village and the active-adult developments west of Jog Road, we recommend zero-threshold entries, slip-rated tile, and blocking for future grab bars. A zero-threshold shower on a concrete slab often requires cutting the slab and adjusting the drain, which is exactly where the high water table matters. We handle the dewatering and drainage correctly the first time.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Delray Beach starts around $3,500 and goes to about $10,000, depending on whether we’re cutting into the slab and how far the drain moves. In the western ZIPs where groundwater sits close to grade, moving a drain is not a simple trench. We plan for that before we open walls, not after. We also pre-block walls for grab bars as standard practice on these conversions, because someone asking for a walk-in shower is usually thinking about the next ten years, not just the next six months.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in Delray Beach. We stock and install named brands you can look up before you sign: Grohe fixtures, Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling shower bases. On barrier-island condos and homes in the 33483 ZIP, we pay attention to fixture anchoring and wall backing that meets Palm Beach County wind codes, which a lot of countertop crews never think about.

Trusted Brands We Service in Delray Beach
We install what we’d put in our own homes, and we tell you the brand before the job starts. In Delray Beach, that often means Schluter waterproofing under tile, Grohe fixtures at the wall, and Sterling bases where the customer wants a proven composite rather than a custom mud pan. We keep common parts and trim in local stock for faster turnaround on small repairs and punch-list fixes. No mystery brands off a van. If you can’t look it up, we didn’t install it.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Delray Beach Homes
- Water table surprises in the western ZIPs. In 33446 and 33484, groundwater sits 18 to 24 inches below grade across large areas. Any drain relocation or subfloor repair can hit it, which means dewatering and drainage work that out-of-town contractors price wrong or skip entirely.
- Slab cutting without drainage planning. Tub-to-shower conversions in CBS homes often require cutting the slab. If nobody checks the water table or plans for proper slope, the new shower puddles and the drain backs up within a year. We coordinate drainage before we cut.
- Missing grab-bar blocking. In Delray Beach’s 55+ communities, we regularly see remodels done elsewhere with no blocking behind the drywall. Then the homeowner wants grab bars, and the fix means opening tile. We pre-block walls on every walk-in shower and tub conversion as standard practice.
- Impact and wind-code misses in condos. On the barrier island and in high-rise buildings along the coast, a bathroom remodel that touches exterior windows or structural walls can fail inspection if impact-rated fixtures and hurricane tie-downs aren’t accounted for. We pre-coordinate with a wind-load engineer when the scope calls for it, so the structural plan review doesn’t bounce your permit back.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Delray Beach
Yes, if the conversion touches plumbing, electrical, or structural framing, Delray Beach requires a permit, and we pull it on every eligible job. A straight cosmetic swap of the shower base with no drain movement may not need one, but moving the drain in a slab absolutely does. We handle the permit, the inspection, and the sign-off before you write the final check. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your scope requires.
Yes, and we do it as standard practice on every walk-in shower and tub-to-shower conversion in Delray Beach, not just when someone asks. In CBS homes where drywall is fastened directly to block, we add solid backing between the studs before the tile goes up. That way, when you decide you want grab bars later, nobody has to open the wall. It’s a small line item and it should be in every quote for a 55+ household.
In much of the 33446 and 33484 ZIPs, groundwater sits 18 to 24 inches below grade, so any slab cut for a drain relocation can fill with water during the work. That means dewatering equipment, proper drainage slope, and a plan for the sub-slab base before the new tile goes down. Contractors from inland markets routinely miss this and either overcharge as a surprise later or install a pan that puddles. We price for it in the original quote.
A tub-to-shower conversion in Delray Beach runs $3,500 to $10,000, while a full walk-in shower remodel ranges $4,500 to $12,000. The conversion is usually cheaper because the footprint already exists, but if you’re moving the drain or upgrading to a zero-threshold entry, the numbers climb toward the top of that range fast. We’ll show you both scopes in writing before you choose. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
If your remodel touches exterior windows, sliding doors, or structural walls in a coastal Delray Beach condo, you’ll likely need impact-rated glazing and hurricane tie-downs to pass Palm Beach County inspection. For interior-only bathroom remodels that don’t affect the building envelope, you usually don’t. We check the scope against wind code requirements before we pull the permit, so the structural plan review doesn’t bounce your project back and delay the rough-in.
If you’re in Delray Beach and ready to price a bathroom remodel, call (877) 610-1318. Tom or one of his sons will answer. You’ll get a written estimate, a straight answer on what your house actually needs, and a name you can look up before you sign anything.
