Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Aransas Pass
Bathroom remodeling in Aransas Pass typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with smaller jobs like tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500. Most projects take two to four weeks once we start, and no work begins until you’ve seen every number in writing. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews here, not a franchise dispatching strangers. When you call (877) 610-1318, you get a live person on our end, day or night.
Aransas Pass is a town that knows what a contractor is supposed to be, because this town rebuilt itself after Harvey. The houses along South Houston Street, the streets behind Conn Brown Harbor, the neighborhoods east of Commercial Street that got hammered in 2017: we’ve worked on enough of those bungalows to know exactly what hides behind the walls. Salt air, wind-driven rain, elevated foundations, TWIA inspections. Local crews who don’t know this ground get chewed up by it. We’ve been at it since 1998, and we answer our own phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Aransas Pass’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published for anyone to look up. That’s how we do business in Aransas Pass. You will not get a phone quote from a call center and a different number at the door from us. You’ll get a written scope, written allowances, and a written change order before any price moves. That’s what owners here tell us matters most, especially in a town where the rebuild money from 2017 taught everyone a hard lesson about what “pulling a permit” really means.
Our crews work the 78335 and 78336 ZIP codes regularly. We know the difference between a 1960s pier-and-beam cottage over by the ship channel and the elevated concrete-pier homes built after the FEMA maps changed. That matters when you’re moving a drain line or relocating a shower valve. It matters when the inspector walks in. And every eligible bathroom we remodel in Aransas Pass gets permits pulled and inspections signed, because the inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Every finished job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. One call brings Tom back. We’ve been doing this for over 29 years, and we live about twenty minutes away. If something’s not right, we want to know about it.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Aransas Pass
We’re the Bathroom Remodeling crew that shows up with a plan and a name on the truck. Here’s what Aransas Pass homeowners hire us for most.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Aransas Pass means gutting down to studs, correcting whatever the salt air has been eating for the last thirty years, and rebuilding to current code. We frame, plumb, tile, and finish. A full job here typically lands between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on size, layout changes, and whether we’re moving plumbing in a 1950s bungalow or a post-Harvey elevated home. Homes near the channel see more corroded pipe straps and rusted fasteners than inland houses, so we budget honest time for repairs before finish work starts.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Aransas Pass runs about $4,500 to $12,000. Homeowners in their 50s and 60s ask for these constantly: curbless entries, grab bars hidden in the tile layout, benches built in, and frameless glass enclosures that survive the coastal wind without rattling. We install marine-grade hardware as standard here, because the onshore breeze off the Corpus Christi ship channel corrodes cheap chrome in two or three years.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Aransas Pass run $3,500 to $10,000. It’s the most common job we do for older bungalows that still have original cast-iron tubs from the Eisenhower years. We handle the drain relocation, the valve replacement, the waterproofing, and the finish tile. Many of these older homes have cast-iron waste lines we need to transition to PVC, which is exactly the kind of thing a crew unfamiliar with Aransas Pass housing stock will botch or hide in the estimate.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation alone runs $800 to $3,000 in Aransas Pass, including the sink hookup and any valve stops that need replacing. Tile work at the wet wall, shower surround, and floor is priced per square foot and written into the line-item scope. We install brands you can look up, and we’ll help you pick fixtures that hold up in this climate. Nothing off a mystery van, nothing that rusts by the second summer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Aransas Pass
We stock and install plumbing fixtures, hardware, and finish materials from brands with coastal-grade options that hold up in Aransas Pass. Homeowners here lean on Simonton for windows that don’t sweat against the salt air, and we keep those same standards in the bathroom with high-quality trim packages and marine-grade hardware throughout. Bathtubs, shower pans, and enclosures come from manufacturers we’ve trusted for years, not whatever the supply house had on clearance. We keep common parts available for Aransas Pass jobs so a replacement valve or a missing flange doesn’t stall a remodel for a week.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Aransas Pass Homes
- Salt-corroded valve stops and supply lines. The onshore wind here carries enough salt to pit brass and eat chrome. A shutoff valve that hasn’t been touched since the 1980s will usually snap off at the stud when we try to close it. We replace every exposed stop we touch and use marine-grade or stainless hardware behind the wall.
- Rusted cast-iron waste lines in pre-Harvey bungalows. The older pier-and-beam homes near the harbor, especially around 1st Street and the neighborhoods off Nelson, sit close enough to the water that the cast iron under the slab or below the beams is often thinned and weeping. We inspect and replace transitions to PVC when we’re in the floor anyway.
- TWIA-flagged shear transfer and anchor details on elevated homes. A lot of rebuilt bathrooms in Aransas Pass sit 8 to 10 feet up on concrete piers. When we move a wall or add a curb, the inspector checks the framing connections at those pier tops hard. Get the anchor-bolt placement wrong, and the whole close-out stalls. We’ve done enough of these to get it right the first time.
- Poorly sealed shower surrounds from cheap post-storm rebuilds. The bounce-back work after Harvey was fast and sometimes sloppy. Homeowners find soft sheetrock behind tile that was never properly waterproofed. Before we hang a single tile, we pull the wet wall to inspect what’s actually back there.
