Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across New Braunfels
A full bathroom remodel in New Braunfels typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, while a smaller guest bath or powder room usually lands between $5,000 and $12,000. The spread comes down to what’s hiding behind those walls once demo starts: the slab-on-grade foundations common across 78130 and 78132 don’t forgive plumbing moves the way pier-and-beam would, and older homes in the historic district bring their own surprises. If you’ve been putting this off because the last quote you got felt vague, we do written line-item pricing before anything gets torn out, so you know exactly where your money goes. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is New Braunfels’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in New Braunfels. That’s not marketing language; that’s the actual structure. When you call, a live person answers. When work starts, the name on the van matches the name on the contract. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has pulled permits and passed inspections on jobs from Gruene to Vintage Oaks, and the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.
A lot of our New Braunfels customers came to us after a national outfit quoted one number over the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t operate that way. Every allowance and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single tile gets set. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We’ve been owner-operated from day one, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published. Look it up yourself before you sign anything.
We also offer a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate. If you’ve got a bid from another contractor for a New Braunfels bathroom remodel, bring it to us. We’ll go through it line by line and tell you what’s reasonable, what’s missing, and what’s likely to change once they open the walls. No charge, no obligation.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in New Braunfels
We handle the full range of bathroom work, from a dated hall bath in 78131 to a full master suite reconfiguration in a Veramendi home. Here’s what we do most often in this area:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Complete gut and rebuild: framing, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, glass, paint. We pull permits on every eligible job, and inspections get signed before we call it done. For New Braunfels homes built after 2010, we also watch for the slab settlement issues that show up as cracked tile and failing shower pans; fixing it right the first time saves you a redo in five years.

Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
A walk-in shower in New Braunfels runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on size, tile choices, and whether we’re converting a tub or building new. Curbless entries are popular with the 50-to-70 crowd here, especially in the single-story homes around the 78132 corridor. We handle the waterproofing membrane, the slope, and the drain the right way so water has nowhere to go but down the pipe.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you’re tired of stepping over a tub wall, a tub-to-shower conversion in New Braunfels typically costs $3,500 to $10,000. We remove the old tub, reconfigure the drain, build the new shower pan, and finish with the tile and glass of your choice. This is one of the fastest ways to make an older home in the 78130 area feel brand new.

Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones are fine and the bathroom just looks tired. Vanity installation in New Braunfels runs $800 to $3,000, and we handle everything from a simple single-sink swap in a Schertz-adjacent subdivision to a full double-vanity retrofit with new countertops. Tile work runs the same range per project as anywhere in Central Texas, but we price it in writing so that section of the invoice doesn’t move.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes
Here’s what actually comes up when we open walls in this area:
- Slab leaks and shower pan failures in post-2010 tract builds. The expansive clay-over-limestone soil under much of New Braunfels moves enough to crack slab foundation plumbing. We find shower pan leaks that homeowner’s insurance won’t fully cover and the original builder’s warranty has already expired.
- Rock-hard excavation surprises. In the 78132 corridor toward Canyon Lake, contractors regularly hit caliche hardpan when moving drain lines for a new shower layout. If you’ve ever watched a crew bring in a hydraulic breaker just to move a toilet drain twelve inches, you know why local experience matters on the bid.
- Historic limestone bathroom remodels in the downtown and Gruene districts. Mid-1800s German limestone masonry doesn’t behave like a modern stud wall. Anchoring grab bars, running vent stacks, and keeping moisture out of stone walls requires a different approach, and we’ve done enough of these to know what the building will tolerate.
- Flood-zone framing requirements in parts of 78130 and low-lying 78132 parcels. If your property sits inside a FEMA flood zone along the Guadalupe or Comal, a bathroom remodel can trigger required elevation and flood-vents. We price that into the estimate from the start so there’s no “oh, by the way” the week the inspector shows up.
