Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Midlothian’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews in Midlothian every week. That’s not a marketing line. When you call, a live person answers, and when Tom says he’ll be at your house near the Holcim plant or over in the Kensington Park area on Tuesday morning, that’s where he’ll be. We answer our own phones, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Midlothian homeowners keep calling us back because we put every scope, every allowance, and every price change in writing before a single nail moves. The last contractor most of our customers used told them permits were optional. We pull every eligible permit, and we’re there when the inspector signs off. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. We want you to.
Our reputation in Ellis County is built on the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. No fine print, no exclusions buried in an appendix.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Midlothian
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full remodel in Midlothian means more than swapping tile and fixtures. Because nearly every home here sits on Blackland Prairie Vertisol clay that moves 2 to 4 inches between wet springs and dry summers, we verify your slab condition and specify substrate materials rated for expansive soil before the first tile goes down. That’s the difference between a bathroom that still looks new in ten years and one with hairline grout cracks up the walls by year three.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Midlothian runs $4,500 to $12,000, and the single biggest variable is waterproofing. A curbless or low-threshold shower on slab-on-grade has to be detailed for seasonal slab heave. We use membranes and pans engineered for Ellis County clay movement, not whatever mix the big national outfit grabs off the shelf. For homeowners in the new builds along Sh 34 or the subdivisions off Plain Dealing Road, this matters more than any fixture you’ll pick out.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions in Midlothian typically cost $3,500 to $10,000. This is the most common project we do for homeowners who bought a 2010s builder home and never use the garden tub. The work almost always requires a rough-in inspection, and we handle the permit and the inspector. We also run the drainage and venting calculations for the new shower configuration, because getting that wrong on a slab home is a costly fix that shows up months later.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000 in Midlothian. We carry premium brands you can look up: KraftMaid vanities, Cambria quartz, and name-brand plumbing fixtures, not off-brand stock off a van. If you’re replacing a vanity in an older home near downtown or updating a builder-grade bathroom in a 2015 build near Mockingbird Nature Park, we’ll match your existing drains and supply lines or relocate them properly, with a written change order before any scope shifts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Midlothian
We install Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT windows and enclosures, including frameless glass shower enclosures that meet the wind-load ratings Midlothian’s storm corridor demands. Many Midlothian homeowners ask whether a glass enclosure is safe in a high-wind event. The answer depends on the rating, and we spec enclosures that are engineered for Ellis County conditions rather than whatever’s cheapest in the supplier’s warehouse. If you already have a brand you prefer, we’ll work with it and stock the local parts needed for fast turnaround.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Midlothian Homes
- Slab movement cracking tile and grout. The Vertisol clay under Midlothian expands and contracts dramatically. Grout lines crack, shower pans pull away from walls, and water finds its way behind waterproofing that was never rated for that kind of movement. We see this most often in builder homes from the 2010s where the original shower pan was installed directly on an unmodified slab.
- Failed rough-in inspections. The city requires plumbing and moisture-barrier inspections before walls close. Some contractors skip them to move faster. When the inspector gets called later, panels have to come back off, and the homeowner pays twice. We pull every required permit and coordinate the inspection as part of the job.
- Curbless shower pans separating from substrate. On a punch-list callback for a 2018 builder home near the Holcim plant, our crew found a walk-in shower pan that had separated from the wall due to slab movement, letting water wick into the subfloor. We pulled the failed pan, corrected the slope with a self-leveling underlayment rated for sulfate-bearing clay, and reinstalled a Schluter membrane before retiling. Then we documented the repair for the homeowner’s insurance file.
- Frameless glass enclosures failing wind-load review. Midlothian sits in a high-tornado-risk corridor. Cheap enclosures without the right structural rating can flex, crack, or even fail completely in a severe storm. We specify impact-rated hardware and tempered glass that meets local code, and we include the documentation in your file for insurance purposes.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Midlothian
Yes. Midlothian requires a permit for any plumbing or moisture-barrier work, including tub-to-shower conversions, and the inspector checks the rough-in before walls close. They’ll verify drain slope, venting, shower pan liner or membrane installation, and water supply lines. Skipping this step voids manufacturer warranties and leaves hidden leaks undiscovered until mold shows up. We pull every eligible permit and schedule the inspection as part of your project. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that includes permit costs.
You start with a substrate rated for movement, like a self-leveling underlayment formulated for sulfate-bearing clay, then add a flexible membrane that can absorb seasonal slab heave without tearing. The full answer depends on your home’s foundation type, the shower configuration, and whether you’re on a post-tension slab. We’ll assess your slab and write the waterproofing spec in the quote. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us to come look.
For interior enclosures, wind-load rating isn’t a code trigger the way it is for exterior windows, but the glass and hardware should still be tempered and structurally rated for Midlothian’s storm corridor conditions, especially for large panels or enclosures near exterior walls. We specify tempered panels and heavy-gauge hardware, and we document the ratings for your insurance file. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want us to check what you currently have.
Yes. If the work is permitted, inspected, and documented, your insurer has a record that reduces the chance of a denied claim later. Unpermitted bathroom work is a common reason insurance companies deny water-damage claims in Ellis County. We document everything and give you the paperwork for your file. Call (877) 610-1318 for a remodel that’s built for the scrutiny.
The most common reason is that the original contractor used standard DFW mix designs or generic waterproofing that doesn’t account for Midlothian’s Blackland Prairie clay. Slab movement cracks grout, separates shower pans, and lets water bypass the membrane. The second reason is skipped rough-in inspections, which hide plumbing mistakes until they become expensive leaks. The third is inadequate documentation, which makes insurance claims harder. We address all three in the written contract. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
