AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Celina
Bathroom remodeling in Celina typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full gut-and-replace project, with smaller refreshes landing closer to $5,000. Most Celina homes are production-built 2015-and-newer, so the work we do here is less about fixing old pipes and more about swapping builder-grade vanities, shower surrounds, and fixtures for something you actually chose. We know the neighborhoods, we know the builders, and we know which shortcuts show up six months after closing. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on any bathroom project in 75009.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Celina’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and has spent the years since building a simple reputation: the name on the truck is the name on the contract, and the people swinging hammers are his sons and their crews, not strangers dispatched from some out-of-state call center. When you call us about a bathroom remodel in Celina, you talk to a person who knows what a Light Farms floor plan looks like, who has pulled permits in Collin County through inspection backlogs, and who can tell you whether that master bath layout is worth changing before the slab settles any further.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team has worked inside enough Celina production homes to know exactly where builders install cheap shower pans, which vanity drawers bind after one winter, and which Moen cartridges failed during Winter Storm Uri. We walk every job with a scope in writing. Every allowance, every change order, every single thing that moves the price is on paper before we touch a wall. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s how we’ve kept the phone ringing for 29 years.
Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look any of it up. We also publish our prices right here on this page, because the last thing a Celina homeowner needs is another contractor who quotes one number on the phone and slides a different one across the table after demo starts.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Celina
Most Celina bathrooms we walk share the same DNA: a 60-inch cultured marble shower surround, a builder-grade vanity with flat-pack drawers, a standard 6-inch recessed can or two, and tile laid on a slab that hasn’t finished moving. Here’s how we handle the work we do most in this city:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We strip the room to studs and subfloor, then rebuild with materials you can look up: named vanities, name-brand tile, properly waterproofed shower pans, and fixtures from manufacturers that stand behind their products. A full master bath remodel in Celina runs $9,000 to $28,000. That range reflects the difference between a guest bath refresh in a three-year-old Light Farms home and a complete master suite rework with a curbless shower and freestanding tub in Mustang Lakes.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Celina costs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on footprint, glass, and tile complexity. We replace builder alcoves with properly sloped mud beds and full-height waterproofing, then finish with frameless glass or a curbless entry. Our crew filed permits on a shower rework in Light Farms just last month where the original Moen cartridge had seized during the February 2021 freeze. We waited out Collin County’s framing inspection backup, kept the PEX runs in the original wet wall, and finished with a Kohler surround, no change order needed because we camera-scoped the rough-in before closing the wall.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the single most common first project in Celina’s newer homes. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000, and in production-built houses where the tub alcove is framed to standard dimensions, we usually avoid moving plumbing at all. That keeps the permit scope tight and saves you a week of inspection wait time. If the home is still under its builder plumbing warranty, get the pre-approval in writing before we cut into anything. We handle that paperwork on your behalf.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Celina runs $800 to $3,000 depending on size and whether we’re reworking plumbing centers. Tile work, whether it’s a new shower, a bathroom floor, or a backsplash behind a double vanity, gets quoted by the square foot after we measure. We carry premium lines across every trade, and for hardscape-adjacent finishes we stock and install brands like Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers when a project calls for it. If a fixture or finish is on backorder, we tell you before demo day, not after.

Trusted Brands We Service in Celina
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In the bathroom, that means we’re comfortable running Kohler and Delta plumbing packages, building showers with Schluter waterproofing systems, and hanging frameless glass from suppliers we have long-standing accounts with here in the DFW metro. We also have experience with hardscape-and-stone adjacency work when a bathroom project extends into a wet-area threshold or exterior entrance, using product lines like Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers. If we can’t get a part locally, we’ll tell you the timeline before we start, not after your shower is in pieces.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Celina Homes
Celina’s housing stock is overwhelmingly new construction on post-tension slabs over highly expansive Vertisol clay. That creates a specific set of problems repeat on job sites across Light Farms, Mustang Lakes, and every other subdivision going up east of Preston Road:
- Builder-grade shower surrounds with failed caulk joints. In homes less than five years old, the slab moves with the seasons, and mass-production shower surrounds separate at the seams. Homeowners see the first signs of this during year two or three, right after the one-year fit-and-finish warranty expires.
- Seized plumbing cartridges from the February 2021 freeze. Production builders upgraded pipe insulation standards after Winter Storm Uri, but thousands of Celina homes built before those upgrades have Moen or Delta cartridges that failed during the freeze and were quickly, not properly, replaced.
- Slab movement cracking tile and grout. The North Texas Black Land Prairie soil under Celina swells with spring rain and shrinks in summer drought. Tile floors set without an uncoupling membrane on a post-tension slab will telegraph those movements as cracked grout within a few seasons.
- Vanities with flat-pack drawers that bind. Builder-grade vanity cabinets are built to a price, not a standard. In a home that’s been through two North Texas summers and two wet winters, the drawers stick, the hinges sag, and the soft-close hardware stops closings softly.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Celina
If the home is under a builder plumbing or structural warranty, you need written pre-approval from the builder before any contractor cuts into a shower valve, drain, or wall cavity. Celina production builders like DR Horton and Lennar include warranty-exclusion language that can void plumbing coverage if an unauthorized contractor makes the first penetration. We handle the builder notification for you and keep the paper trail. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re unsure what your warranty covers.
We recommend waiting until after your one-year fit-and-finish warranty expires, because that’s the window when builders fix caulk failures, drywall cracks, and cabinet defects for free. After that year, the slab has settled enough through one full wet-dry cycle that tile and valve work won’t be undone by early movement. Waiting also means any builder defects that surface do so on their dime, not yours.
No. Celina homes sit on post-tension engineered slabs over expansive Vertisol clay, and the original engineer’s load-bearing spec was calculated for specific fixture placement. A freestanding tub, especially a stone or cast-iron one, adds point load the slab wasn’t engineered for. We pull the original plans and have a structural engineer sign off before we set anything. The last thing you want is a cracked post-tension cable you can’t see until the tub starts settling.
Generally no for interior-only work, but every Celina HOA has its own architectural review rules, and most master-planned communities here, including Light Farms and Mustang Lakes, require notification for any project that involves dumpsters, extended contractor parking, or water shut-off affecting shared walls. We notify your HOA management office as a courtesy before we start, so you never get a violation letter for something the HOA considers unreported construction activity.
Celina has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, adding more than 25,000 residents since 2010 almost entirely through new subdivision build-out. The city’s building department handles rough-in and framing inspections for dozens of active production-builder sites at once, so a simple shower-valve inspection can sit in queue for two weeks. Prosper and Frisco have more mature permitting departments. We schedule our Celina remodels around known inspection delays and have working relationships with the city’s inspectors, which means your project gets in the queue the same day it’s ready, not three business days later.
If you’re in Celina and tired of builder-grade bathrooms that looked fine during the walkthrough but peeled, stuck, and seized within three years, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll walk the room with you, put every line item in writing, and give you a price that stays the price. Tom and his sons are on-site most days, and when the job is done, you’ll have the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
