Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Elgin

A full bathroom remodel in Elgin, TX typically runs between $9,000 and $28,000, with most projects landing in the $12,000 to $18,000 range depending on the footprint and what we find behind the walls. If you’re in an older home near downtown Elgin or a newer build off FM 1704, the conditions we encounter differ, and so does the scope of work. Barrett & Sons Construction has been remodeling bathrooms across the Austin metro since 1998, and we handle Elgin’s split housing stock the same way we handle our own homes: with the scope in writing before a single nail moves.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Elgin’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Elgin homeowners tend to be particular about who they let through the door, and for good reason. This town grew up around brick manufacturing, and the families who’ve lived here for generations know what solid work looks like. We’ve found that the same scrutiny applies to modern projects, including bathroom remodels in the older homes off Main Street and the newer subdivisions spreading east toward the US-290 corridor.

Our reputation in Elgin rests on a few things that don’t show up in a national franchise pitch. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job. And our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.

The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Elgin

We don’t do one-size-fits-all bathrooms. An early-1900s wood-frame home near downtown Elgin needs a different approach than a 2018 tract house near Hornsby Bend. Here’s what we handle most often in Elgin, including our Driveway & Pavers in Elgin, and how each one plays out in this city’s specific housing stock.

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in Elgin means pulling everything down to the studs and rebuilding it properly. In older downtown Elgin homes, that often includes correcting framing issues from a century of settling and occasionally addressing moisture damage that’s been hidden behind tile for decades. In newer builds, it’s more about fixing rushed original work and upgrading to materials that hold up to Central Texas humidity swings. The range for a full bathroom remodel in Elgin runs $9,000 to $28,000, and we detail every line item before we start.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

A walk-in shower remodel in Elgin typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 for installation, and it’s one of the smartest upgrades for older Elgin homes where the original tub-and-shower combo has seen better days. We build with Schluter waterproofing systems under the tile, which matters in a climate where humidity and clay-soil movement put real stress on bathroom structures. Frameless glass enclosures are a frequent add-on, and we install them precisely so they don’t leak at the curb.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Converting a tub to a shower in Elgin runs between $3,500 and $10,000, and it’s the most common request we hear from homeowners in the post-2015 subdivisions off SH 95 who bought entry-level homes and are ready for an upgrade. We handle the drain relocation, waterproofing, and tile work correctly, with permits pulled and inspections signed. If you need a Sterling or Grohe fixture package, we carry premium brands you can look up, not mystery product off a van.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Maybe you don’t need a full gut. Vanity installation in Elgin runs $800 to $3,000, and we regularly combine it with tile work and fixture swaps for bathrooms that need a refresh but not a rebuild. In older Elgin homes, we check the existing cabinet framing for moisture damage before setting anything new. A bathroom that looks fine can hide soft floorboards behind the vanity, and we’d rather find it before your new tile goes down.

Trusted Brands We Service in Elgin

We stock and install the same premium brands we’d put in our own homes, which means you get fixtures and waterproofing you can actually research. For shower systems and waterproofing, we use Schluter because it’s the standard for a reason. For bath fixtures, we frequently install Sterling and Grohe, both of which hold up well to Elgin’s hard water and humidity cycles. When you call us about your Elgin bathroom, we’ll specify exact model numbers and material names on the written scope, so there’s no mystery about what you’re paying for.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Elgin Homes

• Clay-soil movement cracking older plaster and tile: The Blackland Prairie clay under much of western Elgin heaves in wet winters and shrinks in drought. That movement shows up as cracked grout lines, failed caulk, and doors that won’t latch. A proper remodel accounts for it with the right materials and joints.
• Hidden moisture damage behind original tile in pre-1960 downtown homes: Elgin’s early-1900s wood-frame and brick houses often have decades-old sheetrock or cement board behind the tile that’s been wicking moisture from the shower pan since the Reagan administration. We open that wall and check before we quote anything final.
• Rushed original work in post-2015 tract builds: The wave of entry-level construction along the US-290 corridor wasn’t always built with Central Texas humidity in mind. We see cracked shower pans, poorly sealed tub surrounds, and builder-grade fixtures that fail years earlier than they should.
• Ventilation problems in remodeled older homes: Elgin’s older bathrooms often lack exhaust fans sized for the space or vent into the attic instead of outside. We address venting as part of any remodel so your new shower doesn’t grow mildew in the first winter.
