AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Cleburne
Most bathroom remodels in Cleburne fall between $9,000 and $28,000, depending on whether you’re refreshing a powder room or gutting a 1960s bath down to the studs. We’ve worked on homes near the historic courthouse square, out past Nolan River Road, and in the newer subdivisions off Old Highway 67, so we know what Cleburne houses actually look like behind the drywall. If you want a straight answer about what your project will cost and how long it takes, call (877) 610-1318. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons are on the job sites most days, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cleburne’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Homeowners in Cleburne don’t have to gamble on a contractor they found in a Facebook ad. We’ve been building our reputation one bathroom at a time since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published where anyone can look them up before signing anything. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how we’ve always operated.
Cleburne customers regularly tell us the same thing: the national outfit they called first quoted one number on the phone and showed up with a different one at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope item, every allowance, every single price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. If something’s not right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. One call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Cleburne
We handle the full range of bathroom work here in Cleburne, from small powder room updates in 76033 to complete gut-and-rebuild projects in 76031. Here’s what most customers ask about:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Cleburne typically means taking an aging bathroom down to the framing and rebuilding it with proper waterproofing, new plumbing rough-ins, and a layout that actually works for how your family lives. In the older Craftsman and Victorian homes around the courthouse square, we commonly find cast-iron drain lines from the 1920s and 1930s that need replacement, plus floor joists that have sagged under decades of weight. We plan for those discoveries before we open the wall, not after.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested feature in Cleburne bathroom remodels right now, especially for homeowners who want to age in place. We build curbless entries, install proper Schluter or equivalent waterproofing systems, and frame benches directly into the wall rather than bolting on a flimsy afterthought. Frameless glass enclosures come in standard sizes and custom layouts, and we measure precisely so there’s no gap-fill nonsense at installation.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Cleburne usually runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether we’re reusing the existing footprint or moving drain lines. This is the single best return on investment for a bathroom you actually use daily. In many mid-century ranch houses along West Henderson and Colonial Drive, the existing tub is 54 inches wide and the shower pan goes right back into the same space with minimal tile demolition.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities from $800 to $3,000, which covers everything from a simple 24-inch single-sink cabinet to a double-sink setup with stone top. Tile work in Cleburne homes often reveals what we call the Johnson County double-whammy: houses that have shifted over decades from expansive clay soil movement, which means we spend extra time on leveling and crack-isolation membrane before the first tile goes down. Fixtures are sourced from supply houses in the Metroplex, and we’ll tell you exactly which brands we trust and why before you spend a dollar.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cleburne
We believe in installing materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In bathrooms, that means Kohler fixtures, Delta or Moen valves, and Schluter waterproofing systems, though we also work with whatever specifications your designer has drawn. For Cleburne homes specifically, we keep common replacement parts stocked at our Dallas-Fort Worth office, so a fixture issue during a remodel doesn’t stall the job for a week waiting on a backordered cartridge. Simonton and PGT windows come up when we’re replacing a bathroom window, since those brands hold up well to North Central Texas heat and the occasional hail event our area gets.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Cleburne Homes
Every city has its own quirks, and Cleburne’s housing stock is no exception. Here are the issues we run into regularly:
- Diagonal cracks that aren’t just settling. Cleburne sits on some of the most expansive black-clay soil in Johnson County, and after the 2008-2009 earthquake swarms, local contractors learned to treat fresh diagonal drywall cracks more seriously than typical settling. If your bathroom walls show new cracks forming over a few months, the cause might not be a bad drywall job. We investigate before we tile over it.
- Sagging floors from 60-year-old joists. The mid-century brick ranches that make up much of Cleburne’s established neighborhoods were framed with lumber that’s now six or seven decades old. In bathrooms, decades of moisture and shifting foundations often leave floors out of level by half an inch or more. That has to be corrected before new tile goes down, or you’ll have cracked grout within a year.
- Cast-iron drain lines at the end of their life. Victorian and Craftsman homes near the courthouse square frequently still have original cast-iron plumbing. It worked for 100 years, but when it fails, it fails suddenly. A bathroom remodel is the right time to replace it, since opening walls and floors once costs less than doing it twice.
- Shower waterproofing failures from past shortcuts. Unfortunately, we see this a lot in Cleburne homes where a previous contractor skipped a proper waterproofing membrane. Water leaks behind the tile, mold grows, and the first sign is usually a musty smell or swollen baseboard. Our Bathroom Remodeling team rebuilds these showers with full waterproofing systems, not just new tile over old problems.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Cleburne, TX
A full bathroom remodel in Cleburne runs $9,000 to $28,000. Smaller powder rooms and guest baths land between $5,000 and $12,000. Walk-in shower installations are $4,500 to $12,000, and tub-to-shower conversions are $3,500 to $10,000. Shower replacements alone are $3,000 to $8,500, and vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. What changes the number most is whether you’re moving plumbing, the age of the house (older Cleburne homes often need subfloor and framing correction before finishes), and your material selections. KraftMaid vanities cost more than stock cabinets from a big-box store, and that’s a choice you get to make with full pricing transparency. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a written line-item quote, not a handshake and a vague number.
Will the price change once work starts?
Only if you change the scope, and even then, the change comes as a written change order before work proceeds. We don’t do surprise invoices. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we’ve been burned as customers ourselves. You’ll see every number in writing before a single nail moves.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Cleburne
Scheduling typically begins with a free estimate at your home, and most Cleburne projects can be started within two to six weeks depending on our current job board and material lead times. Custom vanities and specialty tile can add a few weeks. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic start date, not a vague “soon.”
Yes. We work across both 76031 and 76033, including homes around the historic courthouse square, the established neighborhoods off West Henderson and Colonial Drive, the Ranch View and Summit Ridge areas, and the newer subdivisions on the city’s north and east outskirts. If you’re in Cleburne city limits or just outside, we’re local to you.
Cleburne pricing runs about the same as Burleson and slightly below central Fort Worth, mostly due to land and overhead differences rather than labor quality. You’ll see a full Bathroom Remodeling project at $9,000 to $28,000 here, and the same choices in materials and layout will track within a few thousand dollars of neighboring cities. We give the same written pricing to every customer regardless of zip code.
Every job includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. That applies to work done in Cleburne the same as anywhere else we serve. We also pass through manufacturer warranties on every material we install, from fixtures to tile to waterproofing systems.
The expansive clay under much of Cleburne shrinks in summer drought and heaves after heavy rain, which over decades has left many homes with floors that are no longer level. In a bathroom remodel, that means we often have to correct subfloor slope and add crack-isolation membrane before tiling, especially in the older ranch houses. Contractors who relocate here from other parts of the Metroplex sometimes miss this, but we’ve been working with these conditions long enough to plan for them from day one.
