AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lake Worth
A full bathroom remodel in Lake Worth typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and most projects take three to six weeks depending on scope and what the building department flags during inspection. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve worked in homes from the 1920s bungalows east of I-95 to the 1990s CBS subdivisions west of the Turnpike, so we know what’s behind these walls before the first hammer swings. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk your bathroom, pull the permit path, and put every allowance in writing before you sign anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lake Worth’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Lake Worth, where a bathroom remodel can get tangled in two separate building departments depending on your ZIP code. We don’t hand your job to a different crew every week. Tom’s sons run the teams, and someone who knows your name shows up on-site most days.
Lake Worth homeowners keep hiring us because we quote what we’ll actually do, not what sounds good on the phone. Every scope item, every allowance, every change comes as a written change order before work happens. So when the city of Lake Worth Beach’s building department tells you your 1940s CBS home needs roof-to-wall clips before we can close up the walls, you’re not staring at a surprise invoice. You’re looking at a contingency allowance we already discussed at the kitchen table.
We carry the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. If something isn’t right after we finish, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s the whole promise. We also pull permits on every eligible job and stand with you through every inspection, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lake Worth
We’re a Bathroom Remodeling company that works on the full range of bathrooms you find across Lake Worth: small hall baths in 33460 bungalows, dated master baths in 33467 tract homes, and guest baths in Palm Springs-adjacent neighborhoods. Here’s where we spend most of our time.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Lake Worth means we’re pulling everything down to the studs, fixing what the city requires, and rebuilding it to current code. In older Lake Worth Beach homes, that often includes replacing rotted subfloor under a 60-year-old cast-iron tub, bringing the plumbing up to code, and sometimes adding hurricane clips before the drywall goes back up. We scope all of it before we quote, so the price you see is the price you’re hiring.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade we see in Lake Worth, especially from homeowners in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who want to skip stepping over a tub ledge. We install Schluter waterproofing systems under the tile, which matters here because the salt air near the Lake Worth Lagoon pushes humidity into bathrooms and rots green board faster than you’d think. A walk-in shower installation in Lake Worth generally runs $4,500 to $12,000.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a bathtub to a shower in Lake Worth costs $3,500 to $10,000, and it’s a solid move if you’re staying in the home and want easier access. One thing we check before quoting: whether your property is on septic and well. Moving the drain location even a few feet in a western Lake Worth septic-system home can trigger a Palm Beach County drainfield setback review, which adds time and possibly scope. We’ll tell you upfront if that’s coming.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
We install vanities from $800 to $3,000, tile from floor to ceiling, and fixtures from brands like Grohe and Sterling that you can look up before we install them. We don’t stock mystery brands off a van. If you want a floating vanity, a double-sink setup, or a custom tile niche in the shower wall, we’ll spec it, price it, and put it on paper.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Worth
We install materials we’re willing to put our name on, because Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck and the contract. In Lake Worth bathrooms, we regularly work with Schluter waterproofing systems under tile, Sterling tubs and shower bases, and Grohe fixtures. We also stock common replacement parts for these brands so a follow-up repair doesn’t mean waiting a week on a distributor. If you want something specific, tell us, and we’ll price it into the written scope before work starts.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lake Worth Homes
- Missing anchor bolts and hurricane clips in pre-1990s CBS homes. In the older blocks of 33460 east of I-95, it’s common to open a wall and find no bolts connecting the block to the slab and no roof-to-wall clips. Lake Worth Beach’s building department can flag that during a routine bathroom rough-in inspection, and suddenly your remodel includes structural retrofit work. We include a written contingency allowance for exactly this in every eastern Lake Worth contract.
- Rotted subfloor under cast-iron tubs in 1920s-1940s wood-frame homes. Decades of salt-air humidity seeping through old window vents and unsealed grout eats the wood under the tub. You don’t know it’s there until the tub comes out, and then you’re replacing floor joists before you can lay tile. We scope for this on older Lake Worth stock and tell you what we’ll do if we find it.
- Septic and well setbacks that limit layout changes. If your home is in the unincorporated Palm Beach County side of Lake Worth and you’re on septic, moving a toilet or vanity more than a few feet can trigger a drainfield setback review. That’s a county requirement, not a contractor preference. We check the property records before we quote a layout change.
- Two different permit queues across the Lake Worth market. Work in 33460 goes through Lake Worth Beach’s municipal building department. The surrounding areas route through Palm Beach County. Different inspectors, different schedules, different plan-review standards. We file in both jurisdictions regularly, so we know which one moves faster and how to sequence your job without stalling your punch list.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lake Worth
It can. If your home is pre-1990 CBS or wood-frame and the building department finds no hurricane clips or anchor bolts during the rough-in inspection, they can order a structural retrofit before we close up the walls. That’s not a contractor scare tactic; it’s the municipal building department applying today’s Florida Building Code to a structure that predates it. We include a written contingency allowance for this discovery in every eastern Lake Worth contract so you’re not blindsided. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for it.
33460 goes through Lake Worth Beach’s municipal building department. 33467 and the surrounding unincorporated tracts go through Palm Beach County’s department. Different plan reviewers, different inspection schedules, different correction letters. We file in both jurisdictions weekly, so we know how to sequence your work to avoid stalls. The permit fee itself isn’t dramatically different, but the timeline can be, and that affects when your bathroom is usable again.
Sometimes. If your home in the western Lake Worth area is on septic, moving a toilet or vanity more than a few feet can trigger a Palm Beach County drainfield setback review. That means the county checks whether the new plumbing location infringes on the setback from your drainfield. If it does, you may need a new drainfield or a revised design before sign-off. We check the property records before we quote a layout change, so you’ll know upfront if this applies to you.
Homes within a mile of the Lake Worth Lagoon get accelerated corrosion on metal fixtures, fasteners, and even the plumbing vents in the wall. We spec salt-resistant materials where it matters: better waterproofing under tile, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and ventilation that actually moves humid air out. If your studs or subfloor are already compromised, we’ll show you what we found and price the repair before proceeding. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll take a look.
If you’re changing tile and swapping a vanity, you might not. But if you’re moving plumbing, opening walls, or doing anything that pulls a permit in Lake Worth, you need a licensed contractor who can file with the right building department and stand next to you during inspections. We do small bathroom remodels in Lake Worth from $5,000 to $12,000, and we handle the permit, the inspections, and the written change orders. That’s the whole job, not just part of it.
