Bathroom Remodeling in Plantation - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Plantation

A full bathroom remodel in Plantation, FL typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the age of the home, the condition of the plumbing and framing, and how far you want to take the finishes. Most of the bathrooms we tear into here sit inside 1960s and 1970s CBS ranch houses, which means we’re often fixing slab leaks, replacing corroded cast iron drain lines, and squaring walls that haven’t been plumb since the Nixon administration before we ever think about tile. If you live west of University Drive or back in the neighborhoods off Broward Boulevard, you already know what we’re talking about. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come take a look for free.

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

Barrett & Sons Construction has been running crews in South Florida since 1998, and the way we run a bathroom remodel in Plantation hasn’t changed much in all that time. Tom Barrett’s sons are on-site most days, every permit gets pulled and signed, and every change order lands in writing before the work happens. The homeowner who calls us from a 1972 ranch near Plantation Central Park gets the same treatment as the one calling from a newer place out by Jacaranda: a real quote, a real schedule, and a phone number that a real person answers.

Our customers in Plantation keep calling us back because we price the job honestly at the start and we don’t invent surprises at the end. If your bathroom has original cast iron under the slab, we’ll tell you what that means for your budget before we open the floor, not after. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into every contract we sign in Plantation, and if something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Plantation

We handle the whole bathroom from the studs out. Here’s how that breaks down when we’re working in Plantation’s older housing stock, where the existing conditions are rarely what the homeowner expects.

Full Bathroom Remodeling

This is the most common project we take on in Plantation and it’s not unusual for it to involve updating plumbing, relocating a wall, leveling a floor, and replacing a water-damaged subfloor before any finish work begins. A gut renovation in these 1960s and 1970s homes often means discovering that the original water supply lines are galvanized and the shower valve is no longer code. We handle all of that, pull the Broward County permit, and bring the room up to current Florida Building Code.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

When we convert a cramped tub alcove into a walk-in shower in a Plantation ranch, the first thing we check is whether the floor joists under that footprint still have good bearing. A lot of the slabs out here have settled over 50 years on former Everglades flatland, and a shower needs a flat, well-draining base. We use Schluter waterproofing systems on almost every one of these so you’re not fighting mold between the tile and the backer board five years down the road.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

This is one of the most requested services in Plantation, and for good reason. Those original cast iron tubs in homes near Plantation Acres and Jacaranda are heavy, the surrounding walls are usually water-damaged, and the existing drain often needs to be relocated. A tub-to-shower conversion in Plantation typically runs between $3,500 and $10,000 depending on whether we’re reusing the existing plumbing location or moving the drain.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Not every Plantation bathroom needs a full gut. Sometimes the layout works and what you need is a new vanity, proper tile, and fixtures that don’t date back to the original build. We install vanities in the $800 to $3,000 range for the box and top, and we’ll work with you on tile choices that make sense for a humid climate where grout lines take a lot of abuse. Grohe and Sterling fixtures are common choices we stock and install for Plantation customers.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation

We install materials you can look up, not mystery boxes off a van. That includes Schluter waterproofing and uncoupling systems beneath the tile, Grohe and Sterling plumbing fixtures, and tile and stone sourced from suppliers who have been serving Plantation for decades. Because we live close and our crews are in Plantation every week, we can usually have the specific trim, valves, and grout colors you want within a few days, not a few weeks. No substitution games, no “the supplier was out so we grabbed something similar.”

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Plantation Homes

Plantation homes were largely built out between the 1950s and 1970s, and the bathrooms in those houses are hitting the point where the original materials have simply expired. This is what we run into most often:

• Corroded cast iron drain lines under the slab. Most of Plantation sits on former Everglades flatland with a very high water table, and the moisture accelerates corrosion in the old cast iron beneath these 1960s and 1970s slabs. We regularly find the drain line rotted out when we open a bathroom floor. This is a plumbing repair that has to happen before any remodel can proceed.
• Water-damaged walls around original tub alcoves. These homes were built with standard drywall and green board behind the tile, not true waterproofing. Fifty years of South Florida humidity takes its toll. We frame out the rotten sections and replace with proper waterproofing before new tile goes up.
• Settled slabs and out-of-level floors. Built on drained Everglades muck, many Plantation slabs have settled unevenly over the decades. A bathroom floor that looked flat to the homeowner turns out to be a half-inch out of level when checked with a laser. We level it as part of the prep, because tile won’t hide a bad slab.
• Undersized electrical and no GFCI protection. Older Plantation bathrooms frequently don’t have a dedicated circuit, and many still lack GFCI protection for outlets near water sources. Upgrading the electrical is a common part of our remodel scope here, and the permit inspector will be looking for it.
