AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across League City
A full bathroom remodel in League City, TX typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with walk-in shower installations landing between $4,500 and $12,000. Most projects we take on in League City are completed in four to six weeks once materials arrive. If you’re in 77573 or 77574 and want a real number instead of a vague range, call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate.
League City is not Houston. The flood-zone rules are stricter, the clay soil moves more, and the homes built in the 1990s and 2000s are now hitting the age where builder-grade bathrooms start failing at the same time. We’ve worked in South Shore Harbour, Mar Bella, Westover Park, and the older neighborhoods along FM 518. We know which remodels need a permit amendment and which ones skip the counter without a second thought. That local knowledge saves you money and headaches before they start.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is League City’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call our office, a live person answers the phone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. When we say we’re on our way to League City, the person who shows up is someone whose name is on the truck.
League City homeowners check us out before they sign. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look it up yourself. Ask anyone on your street, or better yet, ask the permit inspector they’ve dealt with. Our permit records in Galveston County are clean because we pull permits on every eligible job and get every inspection signed off. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
Every price change on a League City job arrives as a written change order before work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We put scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. And every completed job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s the whole promise.
What League City Customers Say
We’ve remodeled bathrooms in every major League City subdivision, from Tuscan Lakes to Westover Park to the older pier-and-beam cottages near the historic downtown core. The feedback we hear most is some version of “your crew showed up when they said they would and the bill matched the quote.” That shouldn’t be rare, but homeowners in League City who’ve been burned by national outfits know it is. We treat a $5,000 small bathroom remodel in Westover Park with the same written-pricing discipline as a $28,000 primary bath in South Shore Harbour.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in League City
We’re a full-service Bathroom Remodeling company. Most League City jobs fall into one of the four categories below. Each one starts with a walkthrough at your house, not a phone quote pulled from a spreadsheet.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full gut-and-replace bathroom remodel in League City runs $9,000 to $28,000. That range covers everything from a standard 5×8 hall bath with new tile, vanity, and tub to a primary bath with a custom walk-in shower, dual vanities, and heated floors. In League City’s master-planned communities, we’re often replacing builder-grade fiberglass tubs, stock vanities, and sheet vinyl flooring that were fine for fifteen years but are now showing their age.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in League City ranges from $4,500 to $12,000. The spread depends on whether you’re doing a simple acrylic pan with tile surround or a custom mud-set pan with frameless glass and multiple body sprays. We install Kohler and Delta fixtures because you can look them up. We don’t use mystery brands off a van.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in League City runs $3,500 to $10,000. This is the most common request we get in homes built between 1995 and 2015. Homeowners in their 50s and 60s are tired of stepping over a tub wall every morning, and the original builder tub is usually scratched, stained, or cracked. The conversion typically takes three to five days, and we handle the permit if the plumbing moves in any way.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in League City. Tile work is quoted per square foot after we see the space. Fixture swaps are the fastest job we do, often same-day for a single faucet or showerhead. For larger tile or vanity work in League City, we can usually start within two to three weeks of the signed contract.

Trusted Brands We Service in League City
We stock and install Kohler and Delta fixtures, American Standard tubs, and Schluter waterproofing systems. We also carry Quikrete and Oldcastle products for any floor prep or leveling work that League City’s clay soil demands. When a job calls for a slab correction before we set tile, we use the same brands the supply houses on I-45 carry, so if you need a matching part three years from now, you can find it locally. No proprietary parts, no phone-tree warranty claims.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in League City Homes
League City bathrooms fail in predictable ways. Here’s what we see most often across 77573 and 77574:
- Slab movement from Beaumont clay. League City sits on expanding clay that shrinks in summer drought and swells after Gulf rain. It causes slab-on-grade homes to shift, which cracks tile grout, breaks shower pans, and pulls vanity plumbing out of alignment. We check foundation movement before we set any tile or install any shower. Skipping that check is how you get a cracked shower pan two years after a remodel.
- Undersized exhaust fans in newer homes. A lot of master-planned builds in League City came with a cheap 50 CFM fan wired to a light switch. Add a walk-in shower and that fan can’t keep up. We replace them with properly sized units that run on humidistats, which prevents the mold on drywall that we see in bathrooms remodeled two years ago with the old fan left in place.
- Builder-grade waterproofing failures. The green board behind builder tub surrounds in 1990s and 2000s League City homes was never meant to last 25 years. By the time homeowners call us, the tile is usually loose around the bottom and there’s hidden moisture damage behind it. We replace everything with cement board and Schluter membrane, which carries its own warranty.
- Flood-zone elevation surprises. If your bathroom remodel in 77573 or 77574 changes the finished floor elevation, Galveston County starts asking questions. We’ve seen projects flagged mid-permit because a homeowner raised a floor two inches and suddenly the space didn’t meet Base Flood Elevation. We check elevation requirements before we submit anything.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in League City
Yes, in most cases the plumbing change triggers a permit requirement, even if the walls stay put. In League City, a tub-to-shower conversion that modifies the drain assembly or water supply lines falls under Galveston County’s plumbing permit requirements. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure it’s signed before we call the job done. If the job stays under the substantial-improvement threshold, you won’t be forced into flood-zone upgrades. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific project needs.
Start with the things that leak or fail: the shower pan, the tub surround waterproofing, and the exhaust fan. Builder vanities in Mar Bella homes are usually flat-pack particleboard with a cultured marble top. They hold up fine, but they’re often the first cosmetic replacement after the shower gets fixed. We tell homeowners to invest in waterproofing and fixtures first, and upgrade the vanity when the budget allows. A common sequence in Mar Bella is tub-to-shower conversion with new waterproofing, then a vanity swap six months later.
You can, but we’d strongly recommend against waterproofing your own shower pan. Schluter and other modern waterproofing systems work when installed correctly, and they fail catastrophically when they aren’t. A failed shower pan in a League City slab-on-grade home means water under the tile, mold behind the walls, and a fix that costs three times the original tile job. This is one area where the stakes are high enough that a trained professional is worth the money. We handle the waterproofing so you never have to wonder if the pan is sealed.
Get everything in writing before the first nail moves. The most common change-order trigger in Westover Park is hidden water damage behind the existing tub or shower. Once we open the wall, the scope grows. We handle that by writing allowances into the contract upfront: if we find water damage, the contract already specifies what the repair costs per linear foot of affected wall. No surprises, no handshake pricing. Every change comes as a written change order before the work happens. For an exact scope, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your Westover Park bathroom together.
Yes, in some cases. Galveston County enforces the substantial-improvement rule: if your permitted renovation exceeds 50% of your home’s pre-damage market value, the entire structure has to be brought up to current flood-zone requirements, including elevation or flood vents. A $28,000 primary bath remodel in a $450,000 home won’t trigger it. A $30,000 remodel in a $55,000 pier-and-beam cottage near FM 518 might. We scope projects carefully to stay under that threshold when trigger costs don’t make sense for the homeowner. This is a calculation most contractors north of Houston never have to make. We do it on every League City quote.
If you’re ready to talk numbers, call Tom Barrett at (877) 610-1318. He’ll answer, he’ll listen, and he’ll give you a straight answer. Free estimates, written line-item quotes, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. That’s how we’ve worked since 1998.
