AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Seabrook
A full bathroom remodel in Seabrook typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion starting around $3,500. Most jobs take two to six weeks depending on whether you’re updating fixtures or gutting the room down to studs. If you live off Todville Road or in the older sections near Old Seabrook, you already know what salt air and bay humidity do to a bathroom: rusted fasteners, swollen baseboards, tile that pops loose after a few muggy summers. That’s the work we see all over 77586. Call Tom at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your remodel will actually cost before you sign anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Seabrook’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Team
We’re an owner-operated company founded in 1998. Tom Barrett’s sons run the crews, and most days one of them is on the job site in Seabrook, not calling in from a regional office. When you call, a live person answers. When something goes wrong after the job, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one phone call brings Tom back out – it’s written on every contract, not buried in fine print.
Seabrook homeowners have already been through enough with out-of-town contractors after Harvey. They remember quotes that changed at the door. That’s why every allowance, every change order, every price adjustment from us arrives on paper before work starts. The permit inspector works for you, not for me – that’s why I like him. And Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. You can look it up before you sign anything.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Seabrook
We handle the full range of bath work, from a simple vanity swap in a raised post-Harvey home to a complete gut-and-rebuild on Shady Lane. Here’s how the most common Seabrook projects break down:
Full Bathroom Remodeling
This is the whole room: demolition to the studs, new waterproofing, new shower or tub, flooring, vanity, lighting, and paint. In Seabrook’s 1970s and 1980s waterfront ranches, we often find original copper supply lines that have started to fail from salt exposure. We replace them as part of the job rather than leaving a pinhole leak waiting for next season. Full remodels in Seabrook run $9,000 to $28,000.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Plenty of Seabrook homeowners are pulling out old garden tubs and putting in low-threshold walk-in showers. It’s easier on aging knees and it suits the single-floor ranches that dominate the city’s residential core. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. We use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners as standard practice here because bay air will rust zinc-plated hardware inside three years.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower is one of the most requested projects we do in Seabrook’s older split-level homes, where the original fiberglass tub units were never built for decades of salt and humidity. Expect $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether we’re keeping the existing drain location or moving it. We handle the plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, and tile or surround, and the whole job usually takes less than a week.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Sometimes the bones of the bathroom are fine and you just want new materials. A vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000. Tile work is quoted by the square foot after we measure your specific space. Fixtures and hardware we carry include the brands you can look up, not mystery off-the-van stock. For Seabrook homes we recommend marine-grade or solid brass fixtures where they’ll be exposed to humid air most of the year.

Trusted Brands We Service in Seabrook
If you already bought a vanity, fixture set, or tile and just need it installed, we’re happy to work with it. If you’d rather have us supply materials, we work with brands you can verify. For bathroom remodels in Seabrook we regularly install KraftMaid vanities and Cambria quartz tops. Many Seabrook homeowners ask whether our countertop materials handle our Bathroom Remodeling climate. Cambria’s non-porous surface holds up well to the humidity, and it doesn’t require sealing the way some natural stone does. Techo-Bloc and Cambridge hardscape lines are available for any outdoor shower or patio work connected to the bath. We stock common replacement parts locally so a swapped-out valve or a missing escutcheon doesn’t stall the job for a week waiting on a truck.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Seabrook Homes
- Rusted framing connectors and cabinet hardware from bay air. Salt in the air off Galveston Bay gets into everything. We’ve pulled drywall in Seabrook baths and found the steel corner beads completely rusted through. That’s why we spec stainless or hot-dip galvanized where it counts.
- Post-Harvey renovations done fast, not done right. After 2017, a lot of Seabrook homes got quick bathroom rebuilds using whatever contractor was available. We routinely find shower pans with no proper slope, unsealed window openings, and tile set over moisture-swollen backer board. Those need to be corrected before any cosmetic work makes sense.
- Homes elevated on pilings with awkward utility runs. Many bayfront and near-bay homes in Seabrook now sit 8 to 12 feet up on concrete or steel pilings. That means water supply and drain lines run through the elevated floor system in ways a standard slab home never deals with. Moving a toilet or shower drain in one of these houses requires working carefully around structural beams, not just punching through a slab.
- Original bathrooms from the 70s and 80s with failing waterproofing. Before current flood maps and modern building codes, many Seabrook bathrooms were built with green board behind tile and no waterproof membrane. Add 40 years of humidity and the studs behind the shower are often soft. We find this all over the Toddville Road corridor and older streets off Red Bluff.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Seabrook, TX
Here are the numbers we quote most often in Seabrook. A full bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. A small bathroom remodel, like a powder room or a compact hall bath, runs $5,000 to $12,000. Roofing in Seabrook work doesn’t affect your bath, but if you’re doing both at once we’re glad to coordinate. Walk-in showers run $4,500 to $12,000. Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 to $10,000. Vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000.
What moves the price: whether you’re gutting to studs or keeping the existing layout, the condition of the subfloor and studs, whether your home is elevated and needs special drain routing, and what materials you choose. A small vanity swap at market rate is a few thousand. A full custom bath with a curbless shower, quartz tops, and a new tile floor will land at the higher end.
We give free estimates. And every number on our bid is a number we’ll honor unless you change the scope – and if you change it, the change comes to you in writing as a change order before we touch anything.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Seabrook
We can usually be on-site for an estimate within a few business days, and once we have a signed scope, we schedule start dates that week. A live person answers the phone 24/7, so you’re never leaving a message with a call center. Call (877) 610-1318 to get on the schedule.
Yes. We work throughout 77586, from the older streets off Main and Anders to the canal-front homes around Todville and the bayfront areas near Pine Gully Park. We carry no trip charge inside the county, and we’re familiar with the elevation and flood-zone requirements that apply to elevated pier homes.
We’re not an emergency plumbing contractor, but if a failed shower pan, a blown supply line, or a collapsed vanity is leaving you without a working bath, call us and we’ll tell you straight whether we can help that day or whether you need a plumber first. A live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318. For an exact quote on an urgent bath problem, we’ll fit the estimate in as fast as possible.
In Seabrook, a full bath remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. That’s a bit higher than what similar work might cost further inland because of the salt-air hardware upgrades, the frequency of rotted framing behind old tile, and the extra work on elevated homes. The range is honest: a small bath on a slab might come in at the lower end, a raised bayfront master bath will likely land higher.

That applies to every bath remodel and related job we do in Seabrook and the surrounding cities. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number – you’ll always know who you hired.
