Bathroom remodeling in Round Rock typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full renovation, with tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500 and walk-in shower installations ranging from $4,500 to $12,000. We’ve been building and remodeling in Williamson County for over 29 years, and we answer our own phone.

Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and Tom Barrett will walk your bathroom with you before anyone writes a number down.
Key Takeaways:
- Full bathroom remodels in Round Rock run $9,000-$28,000; small baths $5,000-$12,000.
- Round Rock’s expansive clay soil can shift slabs, so we check for movement before setting any tile, pan, or glass.
- Every permit is pulled and every inspection signed. The inspector works for you, not for me.
- Every scope and allowance is in writing, and every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Round Rock’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to your door. Barrett & Sons is Tom Barrett, his sons, and a crew that carries the family name on the truck. When you call, you talk to a live person, and when Tom says he’ll be at your house, he’s the one who shows up. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has worked on hundreds of homes across Round Rock, and we know what hides behind the original surrounds in a 1999 D.R. Horton build because we’ve opened those walls before.
Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up. Ask anyone on your street about us. The strongest thing we can say is that we’ve been answering to the same name since 1998, and we live twenty minutes from most Round Rock job sites. If something’s not right, we want to know about it, and we’ll come back.
Every completed job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. One call brings Tom back to make it right.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Round Rock
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Round Rock means more than swapping fixtures. In the east-side subdivisions of 78664 and 78665 especially, it means checking the slab before we build on it. We handle the whole job: demo, rough-in, waterproofing, tile, glass, trim, and final inspection. We use brands like Kohler, Schluter, and James Hardie because they hold up under Central Texas conditions and because you can look them up yourself.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Round Rock runs $4,500 to $12,000, and that range changes based on whether we’re working over a stable slab or correcting drainage first. In Teravista and Stone Canyon, we’ve seen original shower pans fail due to clay-soil movement under the slab. We use flexible waterproofing membranes so the shower can move with the soil without cracking tile or leaking into the framing.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
This is the most common request we get from Round Rock homeowners in their 50s and 60s. A tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000 here. The job starts with pulling the fiberglass surround, and that’s when we usually find what the builder left behind: undersized studs, dry rot at the bottom plate, or a shower pan set over a hairline slab crack. We fix what we find and put it in writing before we spend a dollar of your money.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Round Rock runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work is priced per square foot after we look at the substrate. We don’t give a tile price over the phone for a house we haven’t seen, because a floor in 78665 might need a crack-isolation membrane before any tile can be set. That’s not an upsell; it’s what keeps your grout from splitting in year two.

Trusted Brands We Service in Round Rock
We install products from manufacturers you can research, not mystery brands off a van. On bathroom jobs in Round Rock, you’ll see Kohler, Schluter, and James Hardie most often. We also work with Quikrete products for any slab or drainage work, and Techo-Bloc pavers when a bathroom remodel turns into an exterior drainage correction, which happens more often in 78664 than most homeowners expect. Parts are sourced locally when we can, which keeps turnaround faster and means we’re not waiting on a truck from Dallas mid-project.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Round Rock Homes
- Slab movement from expansive clay soil. Round Rock sits on Blackland Prairie montmorillonite clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought. A slab that’s moved even half an inch will crack new tile and break a new shower pan unless we stabilize and waterproof for it.
- Negative lot drainage toward the foundation. In east-side subdivisions built on former Williamson County farmland, original builder grading often directed water toward the slab. After 15 to 20 years of clay cycling, that means the new bathroom fails from the outside in unless we correct the drainage first.
- Water damage hidden behind original fiberglass surrounds. Those 1990s and 2000s tract homes were built fast. We regularly find rotted bottom plates and blackened studs behind original surrounds, which means a quote that doesn’t include opening the wall is a quote that’ll change later.
- Builder-grade framing that becomes a load-bearing surprise. Undersized or water-damaged studs behind an original surround can mean the wall we’re tiling isn’t structurally sound. That’s a written change order before any new work proceeds, not a surprise at final invoice.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Round Rock
Yes, every eligible bathroom remodel in Round Rock requires a permit, and the inspector checks the rough-in before any wall closes up: plumbing, electrical, venting, waterproofing, and the shower pan if we’re installing one. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and don’t cover anything until the inspector signs off. The inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s the whole point. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project requires.
Montmorillonite clay expands when wet and shrinks in drought, which means the slab under your bathroom can move enough to crack a rigid shower pan or tile installation within a few seasons. We check for slab movement before we set anything, and we use flexible membranes like Schluter under tile and pans that can tolerate minor movement. In Forest Creek (78664), our crew opened a 1999 tract home for a tub-to-shower conversion and found the slab under the original shower pan had shifted nearly half an inch. We regraded the exterior perimeter, extended the downspout drainage, and used a Kohler acrylic pan with a flexible Schluter membrane before any tile was set. The inspection sign-off cleared the rough-in only after the drainage correction. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that includes checking your slab.
In many east-side Round Rock subdivisions, yes. Original builder grading on former farmland often directed water toward the foundation, and after decades of clay-soil cycling, that water pressure undermines any new bathroom work from the outside. We check the lot during the estimate, and if drainage needs correction, it goes into the written quote before work starts. With Senior & Veteran discounts of 10% and no trip charge inside the county, getting us out to check costs you nothing. Call (877) 610-1318.
You need the permit, the inspection sign-off, and written change orders showing any scope changes during the job. Insurance carriers want proof the work was permitted and inspected before a water-loss claim gets approved, especially on slab and drainage work in Williamson County. We provide all of that on every eligible job, and every price change is in writing before it happens. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you what a documented, permit-pulled remodel looks like.
Because high-volume builders like D.R. Horton, KB Home, Lennar, and Centex built those subdivisions fast, and original fiberglass surrounds were installed over framing that wasn’t always properly sealed or flashed. A small leak that started the year the house was built could sit behind that surround for two decades, rotting the bottom plate every time someone showered. We open the wall during demo, and if we find rot, it goes on a written change order before we spend another dollar. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that doesn’t gloss over what’s behind that surround.
