Bathroom Remodeling in Venice - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Venice

Bathroom remodeling in Venice costs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like tub-to-shower conversions running $3,500 to $10,000. What makes Venice different from everywhere else we work is the permitting path: nearly every project here requires a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission on top of standard LADBS building permits, which can add three to six months before demo starts. If you live between Abbot Kinney and the canals, or anywhere in the 90291 zip code, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project actually needs.

Call (877) 610-1318

Our team knows the duplexes off Lincoln, the walk streets, the historic bungalows near the Venice Canals, and the newer builds popping up where Silicon Beach money has moved in. That local knowledge changes how we price, how we schedule, and how we avoid the stop-work orders that plague homeowners who hire contractors without coastal permitting experience.

Key Takeaways:

• Full bathroom remodel in Venice: $9,000-$28,000
• Most Venice projects need a Coastal Development Permit before work begins
• Canal-adjacent homes face material-staging logistics that affect the budget
• Salt air means marine-grade stainless fasteners are standard, not an upgrade
• Free estimates with written, line-item pricing: call (877) 610-1318

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

Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons run the crews that work in Venice and across the Westside. When you call, a live person picks up, not an answering service. When you have a question mid-project, you get Tom or one of his sons on the phone, not a callback from a project manager you’ve never met. That matters on a bathroom remodel where the difference between a smooth job and a nightmare is whether someone answers the phone when the inspector flags a venting issue.

Venice homeowners consistently tell us the same thing: they were quoted one price by a national outfit, then handed a different bill once the walls were open. We don’t work that way. Every scope of work, every allowance, every change order arrives in writing before the work happens. If something costs more, you know before we proceed, not after we invoice. And our Bathroom Remodeling team backs every completed job with the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call.

Crew members are background-checked and carry the Barrett & Sons name. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job because the inspector works for you, not for us, and we want them looking at our work.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Venice

Full Bathroom Remodeling

A full bathroom remodel in Venice means gutting the space and rebuilding it, usually on a poured concrete base in these older houses. Expect to address everything from the subfloor and waterproofing to the vanity, shower, and tile. In parts of Venice where houses date to the 1920s and 1930s, we often uncover plumbing that hasn’t been touched in eighty years and needs a full re-pipe, which is exactly why our quotes include line items for what we can see and clear written change orders for what we discover. A full remodel here typically falls between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on size, finishes, and what’s hiding in the walls.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling

Walk-in shower installation in Venice runs $4,500 to $12,000. We’re installing more of these every year because homeowners in the 90291 zip code want a curbless entry with tile that’s easy to clean and fixtures that hold up to the salt air. For shower work near the canals or west of Pacific Avenue, we spec marine-grade stainless hardware and we waterproof past the code minimum because the marine layer pushes moisture into gaps that would stay dry inland.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000 in Venice and it’s one of the most common projects we do in the older beach bungalows. Many of these homes still have their original cast-iron tubs, which weigh enough to matter when you’re carrying them out of a house with no street access on one side. We’ve done these conversions everywhere from the walk streets to the Canals Historic District, and we always check the HPOZ and Coastal Development Permit requirements before we quote, because a conversion that changes plumbing behind a wall can trigger both review layers in this city.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures

Bathroom vanity installation in Venice runs $800 to $3,000, plus tile and fixtures. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Homeowners here who’ve been through a bad remodel before understand that the vanity you buy online isn’t built to survive the humidity and salt content that Venice air carries. We source fixtures from brands we trust and stand behind, and we install them so they drain right, vent right, and don’t leak. The last thing you want in a 1920s bungalow is a vanity with no ventilation behind it, because mold shows up faster here than it does in Culver City or Century City.

Trusted Brands We Service in Venice

We install and stand behind products from Simonton, PGT, and CGI, including impact-rated window and glass products that hold up against the coastal conditions. When we quote a bathroom remodel in Venice that includes new windows or a skylight, we specify brands whose engineering documentation we can hand you, because if you ever sell the house or file an insurance claim, the brand name on the glass matters. We don’t install mystery materials off a van, and we don’t ask you to trust a brand we wouldn’t put in our own homes.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Venice Homes

Here’s what we run into over and over in Venice bathrooms, based on the homes we’ve opened up between Abbot Kinney and the beach:

• Corroded hardware and flashing: The salt-laden onshore breeze off Santa Monica Bay eats standard zinc and galvanized fasteners within two years. We spec marine-grade stainless as standard on any Venice job, and we write it into the quote as a line item so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and why.
• Permit surprises after demo starts: We’ve had homeowners call us in a panic after another contractor opened the walls, the city found out, and a stop-work order went up. In Venice, skipping the Coastal Development Permit is the single most expensive mistake you can make, and it’s the one we see most often.
• Canal-adjacent staging problems: If your home faces a pedestrian-only walkway along the canals, there’s no place to put a dumpster and no way to back a truck up to the house. Lumber, drywall, and the old cast-iron tub have to be hand-carried. Any quote that doesn’t account for that logistics burden is underpriced, and you’ll feel it in the change orders later.
• Moisture and mold in older bungalows: The marine layer sits over western Venice most mornings for much of the year. In a 1930s house with no exhaust fan and old plaster walls, that moisture finds its way into the wall cavity. We pull permits for the venting work because it matters for the building’s integrity and for your family’s health.
