AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Colton
A full bathroom remodel in Colton typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller guest baths landing closer to $5,000 to $12,000. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling bathrooms in the Inland Empire since 1998. If you live near the Colton Crossing or off La Cadena Drive, you already know this city presents a particular set of challenges for any remodel, and we’ve worked through most of them. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight answer about your project, no runaround.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Colton’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a city like Colton, where homeowners have watched the warehouse boom absorb every available subcontractor and string residential work out for months. Our Bathroom Remodeling crews are Tom’s sons and their teams, not subcontractors we met last Tuesday. When we schedule a job near Cooley Ranch or the blocks around Mt. Slover, the people who show up carry the Barrett name on their shirts and know they’ll see you again at the Stater Bros. on Washington Street.
Colton homeowners regularly tell us the same story: a bigger outfit quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a change order for thousands more before the tub was even out. We don’t work that way. Every scope goes in writing. Every allowance goes in writing. If a price moves, you get a written change order before a single nail moves, because as Tom puts it, an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
And the permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him. Every eligible job in Colton gets permits pulled and inspections signed. No exceptions, no “permits are optional” talk.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Colton
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Most Colton homes we work in were built between the 1940s and 1960s, and their bathrooms show it: original cast-iron tubs, single vanity cabinets, and floor tile bonded to mud beds that have long since stopped being level. A full remodel lets us correct the water damage hiding underneath, level the floor, and rebuild the room so it actually works for how you live now. We handle everything from demolition to the final caulk line, and you get Tom’s 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we start.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
A walk-in shower installation in Colton typically runs $4,500 to $12,000. We build a lot of these for homeowners staying in their homes into retirement, removing the climbing-over-the-tub-edge problem entirely. Given Colton’s age of housing stock, we almost always find some rot or subfloor movement once the old pan comes out, and we address it rather than tile over it.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Colton run $3,500 to $10,000. For a lot of the smaller homes near the I-10 and I-215 interchange, this is the single highest-return bathroom change you can make. You gain usable floor space, and we can usually keep the footprint of the original tub so you’re not chasing plumbing through a foundation that’s already had seventy years of clay-soil movement.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Whether it’s a full vanity replacement or just new tile and fixtures throughout the room, we often see Colton homeowners who want to refresh without gutting. A bathroom vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000, and we’re happy to work with the materials you’ve already picked or help you choose from brands you can look up yourself. No mystery stuff off the back of a van.

Trusted Brands We Service in Colton
We install materials from manufacturers you’ve actually heard of, because you should be able to look up what’s going into your bathroom. That list includes Simonton and PGT for windows that sometimes wrap into a bathroom remodels, and we work with premium plumbing and tile lines that hold up to Colton’s hard water, which is brutal on cheap fixtures. If you’ve looked at a brand and want a second opinion before you spend, we’ll tell you what we’ve seen hold up and what we’d avoid.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Colton Homes
- Foundation movement from expansive adobe clay. Colton sits on heavy clay soils that swell in the wet season and shrink hard through the summer. That movement shows up as cracked tile, door frames that bind, and shower pans that lose their slope over time. We inspect for it on every bathroom job and factor it into the scope instead of ignoring it.
- Rot and water damage behind original 1940s-1960s wet walls. Most of these homes have had decades of slow leaks around tubs and shower enclosures. By the time the old surround comes off, the framing behind it often needs repair before new backer board goes on.
- Vibration stress near the BNSF Colton Crossing. Homes within about a half-mile of the rail yard absorb constant low-frequency vibration from freight trains running 24/7. Over years, that accelerates grout failure, loose tile, and cracks at the drywall-to-tile transition. We’ve repaired enough of these to know the pattern and plan for it.
- Hard water scaling on fixtures and glass. Colton’s water leaves heavy mineral deposits that shorten the life of cheap cartridges and shower heads. If you’ve been replacing fixtures every few years, the brand and finish matter more than you’d think. We’ll spec materials that can take it.

Colton’s pricing runs close to the rest of the central Inland Empire, typically $9,000 to $28,000 for a full remodel. What’s different here is the amount of competition from massive warehouse construction along the I-10/I-215 corridor, which pulls labor and materials away from residential work. That’s why we keep our material lead times realistic and tell you the truth up front.
