AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Slaton
A full bathroom remodel in Slaton typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller projects like tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most of the work we take on here involves older homes that need real structural attention before the tile ever goes up. If you’re weighing the cost against what your bathroom could be, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what we’re seeing in Slaton homes like yours.
Slaton isn’t Lubbock. The housing stock is older, the foundations move differently, and the homes carry a century of history in their walls. When we remodel a bathroom in zip code 79364, we’re usually working inside a wood-frame house built for Santa Fe Railway workers, not a post-1990s suburban box. That matters, and we’ll get into why below.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Slaton’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language; it’s just how we work. When you call about Bathroom Remodeling in Slaton, you’re talking to someone who will have a hand in the work, not a phone bank reading a script. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look them up before you sign anything. We’d rather you did.
What does that mean for a bathroom job in Slaton? It means the person who shakes your hand at the estimate is the same person you’ll see on-site most days. It means every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s how we’ve done it for 29 years, and it’s why homeowners across Slaton keep our number posted.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. If something comes up mid-project, you’ll reach a human who knows your job. And when we finish, the work is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Slaton
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bath remodel in Slaton means pulling everything back to the studs and starting fresh. In these older homes, that often reveals surprises: rotted subfloor around a 1940s tub, plumbing that hasn’t been touched since Truman was in office, or a window framed with lumber that’s seen better decades. We handle it all, from structural correction to the final fixture. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, so we make sure he’s welcome.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the single most-requested upgrade in Slaton bathrooms, especially for homeowners planning to stay in their homes through their 70s and 80s. We build them with Schluter waterproofing systems underneath, which matters in a region where humidity swings between dry winters and heavy summer storms. A walk-in shower installation in Slaton typically runs $4,500 to $12,000, depending on how much structural work the old alcove requires.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Many Slaton homes from the 1920s through the 1950s have cast-iron tubs that are original to the house. They’re heavy, they’re cramped, and they’re often sitting on floors that have shifted over decades of caliche-clay movement. Converting that tub to a curbless or low-threshold shower changes the whole room, but it demands someone who understands the framing underneath. We’ve done enough of these in Slaton to know what’s hiding behind the tile, and we’ll show you the cost before we open the wall.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If the bones of your bathroom are sound, you may only need new vanities, tile, and fixtures. We install premium brands like Grohe and Sterling, materials you can look up rather than mystery brands off a van. A bathroom vanity installation in Slaton runs $800 to $3,000. Tile work depends on square footage and what’s beneath it, but we quote everything in writing before the saw comes out.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Slaton Homes
- Pier-and-beam foundation movement: Slaton’s expansive clay and caliche soils heave with every wet-dry seasonal cycle, which shifts the framing under bathrooms in homes built between 1910 and 1950. We routinely find floors that slope toward the tub and need leveling before new tile can go down.
- Original cast-iron plumbing: The Santa Fe Railway worker cottages across Slaton often still have their first-generation drain lines. By the time a bathroom remodel starts, those lines are usually past their useful life and need replacement before the walls close back up.
- Moisture damage from wind-driven rain: With sustained winds of 20 to 35 mph being routine here at 3,000 feet on the Llano Estacado, water gets pushed through aging window frames and wall penetrations. We see more moisture intrusion behind bathroom walls in Slaton than in Lubbock’s newer suburbs.
- Balloon-frame construction surprises: Many older Slaton homes are true balloon-frame structures, meaning wall cavities run continuously from foundation to attic. A bathroom remodel in that kind of house requires careful fire-blocking and insulation work, and we handle it the same way we do on the old roundhouse corridor adaptive-reuse projects on the west side.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Slaton
A full bathroom remodel in Slaton generally takes two to four weeks, depending on the structural condition of the home and the size of the space. Older pier-and-beam houses can run longer if the subfloor needs correction. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before the job starts.
Yes. Every eligible bathroom remodel includes permits pulled and inspections signed. We don’t treat permits as optional, because the last contractor most Slaton customers used told them they were. The inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly how we want it.
It can, but only with a written change order that you approve before any additional work happens. If we find rotted framing or failing cast-iron plumbing behind the tile, we’ll show you what we found, tell you what it costs, and wait for your signature. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprises.
Not necessarily on the finish side, but Slaton’s older housing stock often adds structural and plumbing costs that a newer Lubbock tract home wouldn’t carry. A full bath remodel in Slaton runs $9,000 to $28,000, while the same job in a newer Lubbock home might land at the lower end of that range - just as Slaton Driveway & Pavers projects differ from newer builds too. The honest answer depends on what’s behind your walls, and that’s why we do a free on-site estimate before quoting.
We offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans, plus $40 off any repair over $200. There’s no trip charge inside the county, and we’re glad to give a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will answer.
