AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Lauderdale Lakes
A full bathroom remodel in Lauderdale Lakes runs $9,000 to $28,000 on average, with a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000, and a walk-in shower installation at $4,500 to $12,000.

What drives the price isn’t the square footage nearly as much as what we find when the walls come open.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Lauderdale Lakes
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Lauderdale Lakes means more than swapping finishes. Most of the bathrooms in this city are original to 1960s and 1970s CBS homes, which means we’re frequently dealing with slab foundations, aging cast-iron drain lines, and walls that may hide rot behind old window openings. We scope every phase in writing before work begins, from demo to tile to fixture install.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Lauderdale Lakes runs $4,500 to $12,000. On slab foundations, which dominate the city, waterproofing matters more than anything else. Groundwater vapor can migrate up through the slab and debond tile if the shower pan is not properly sealed. We use a full waterproofing membrane system and verify it before a single tile goes up.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Replacing a bathtub with a shower in Lauderdale Lakes typically costs $3,500 to $10,000. This is one of the most popular remodels in the city because it opens up a small bathroom and gives you a safer, curbless entry. But it also means moving a drain line in a concrete slab, which on this side of Broward County usually requires dewatering. More on that below.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in Lauderdale Lakes. If the vanity sits near an original window, we’ll check the framing behind the stucco before we hang anything. Original 1970s jalousie windows leak behind the wall for years without anyone noticing, and by the time you see the damage, the wall needs repair. We’d rather catch that during a vanity swap than after a new mirror is hung.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes
We install brands you can look up: Simonton and PGT windows and doors, plus plumbing and tile lines from manufacturers that stand behind their products. For Lauderdale Lakes homes, we specify materials that hold up to the humidity and afternoon storms this part of Broward County gets. If a fixture arrives wrong or a pane gets cracked on the way in from Fort Lauderdale, we get replacements moving fast so your project does not stall.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes
- High water table under slab foundations. The water table in Lauderdale Lakes sits just two to three feet below grade. Any drain line relocation or curbless shower pan on a slab often requires continuous pumping during excavation, which is not something you’ll face three miles west.
- Rotted window bucks behind jalousie windows. Original 1970s jalousie windows are everywhere in this city. They leak behind the stucco and rot the pressure-treated framing, and you only discover it when a bathroom wall comes open.
- Spongy subfloor under tubs and showers. Decades of humidity and splash-out seep under the tile and rot the subfloor. Homeowners notice it when tile cracks or the floor feels soft underfoot.
- Efflorescence on slab bathroom floors. That white powdery residue on your tile is not dust. It is mineral vapor pushing up through an improperly sealed slab, and it means the shower pan waterproofing either failed or was never done to begin with.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes, FL
Here are the line-item ranges you will see from us for common bathroom work in Lauderdale Lakes:
| Project | Typical Cost Range |

| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 - $10,000 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 - $3,000 |
Where you land in the range depends on what we find when the walls open, whether we need to move drain lines through a slab (and pump groundwater while we do), and what condition the framing is in after fifty years of Florida humidity. What you will not get is a surprise invoice at the end. Every scope change comes to you as a written change order before work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a straight answer.
We also honor a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount, offer $40 off any repair over $200, and provide a free second opinion on any written estimate. No trip charge inside the county.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Lauderdale Lakes
The water table here is two to three feet below grade, which means groundwater vapor pushes up through the slab constantly. If your shower pan is not waterproofed with a full membrane system, that vapor causes efflorescence and tile debonding within a few years. We waterproof every slab shower like it’s sitting on wet ground, because it is. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through exactly what we use.
We find hidden water damage. On a 1972 CBS home off NW 36th Street, our crew opened a bathroom wall to rough-in a new walk-in shower and found the original jalousie window had been leaking behind the stucco for years, leaving the pressure-treated buck completely rotted. We replaced the framing, flashed the new impact-rated window to Broward County code, and re-stuccoed the opening before any tile went up. The inspection sign-off on the waterproofing happened before the walls closed. That is what we mean when we say a simple vanity swap can turn into structural repair.
Converting a tub to a shower usually means moving the drain location, which in a slab home means cutting concrete. In Lauderdale Lakes, the groundwater is shallow enough that excavation often requires continuous pumping while the plumber works. We plan for that in the scope so you’re not surprised by the dewatering cost later. Free estimates at (877) 610-1318 include this conversation.
Sometimes, but we’ll check what’s behind it first. If that vanity has been sitting against a wall with an original jalousie window, there’s a real chance the framing behind it is rotted from years of leaking. We’ll tell you straight whether the vanity can be saved or whether the wall repair takes priority. Either way, you get the written scope before we start.
If you’re only swapping fixtures and tile in the same location, a permit may not be required. The moment we move plumbing, alter a drain, or change structural framing, Broward County code requires a permit and inspection. On every eligible job, we pull the permit and get the inspection signed. The permit inspector works for you, and we want that signature on your job. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your specific project needs.
