AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Stanton
Most bathroom remodels in Stanton run between $9,000 and $28,000, and the final number depends heavily on what’s hiding behind the walls of your 1950s or 1960s ranch. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been opening up Stanton bathrooms long enough to know exactly what’s back there. Call Tom at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk the job with you before a single fixture gets ordered.
Stanton’s housing stock is almost entirely post-WWII tract homes on lots under 6,000 square feet. That means small bathrooms, slab foundations, and original plumbing that’s seen sixty years of moderately hard Orange County water. We schedule around your life, not the other way around. Stanton is one of Orange County’s smallest cities, roughly three square miles, and we know the streets, the setbacks, and the building department counter like they’re our own neighborhood.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Stanton’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Stanton, where homeowners have been burned by outfits that quote one price on the phone and hand over a different bill at the door. Our Bathroom Remodeling team operates the same way on every job: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. If the price moves, you see it on paper and approve it before we touch anything.
We’re not dispatching strangers. Tom’s sons run the crews, and the crew members who show up at your Stanton home are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll see the same faces every day. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s how a family business works.
Every eligible Stanton job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him. And every completed job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Stanton
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Stanton usually means gutting a 5-by-8-foot space in a ranch home and rebuilding it to current code. We handle demolition, framing corrections, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish work. Because most Stanton homes sit on original minimally-reinforced slabs, we plan for what demo reveals: rotted subfloor, corroded galvanized supply lines, and wiring that predates GFCI requirements. Full remodels here typically run $9,000 to $28,000.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Stanton runs $4,500 to $12,000, and it’s one of the most common requests we get from homeowners planning to age in place. The original tubs in these 1950s and 1960s ranches are often cast iron, with shower pans that were just mortar beds. No modern waterproofing membrane. When we open one up, water damage is the rule, not the exception. We correct the subfloor, install a proper membrane system, and build a shower that actually drains.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a walk-in shower in Stanton runs $3,500 to $10,000. The cost depends on whether we can reuse the existing drain location or need to core the slab. On the older slabs in Stanton, moving a drain is more involved than it looks. Coring can crack a lightly-reinforced slab, and that triggers structural repair before tile work resumes. We’ll tell you upfront which scenario you’re in.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Bathroom vanity installation in Stanton runs $800 to $3,000 depending on size, plumbing changes, and whether we’re dealing with a wall-mount or freestanding unit. Tile work ranges widely based on material and layout. We carry and install premium brands you can look up, and we’ll help you pick materials that hold up to Stanton’s hard water and daily use.

Trusted Brands We Service in Stanton
We don’t install mystery brands off a van. In Stanton bathrooms, we work with manufacturers whose names you can verify: Kohler for fixtures and shower bases, Schluter for waterproofing systems, and Delta for valves and trim. We also use Quikrete products for slab patch and leveling when a Stanton bathroom floor needs correction before tile goes down. If a brand matters to you, tell us. We’ll price it and put it in writing.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Stanton Homes
- Original shower pans with no waterproofing membrane. These 1950s and 1960s ranch homes were built when a mortar bed was considered good enough. It wasn’t. Demolition exposes rotted subfloor and requires structural repair before any tile work begins.
- Aluminum branch circuits behind the vanity. Early-generation aluminum wiring is common throughout Stanton’s tract stock. When we open a wall and find it, we add GFCI/AFCI protection and often rewire the circuit to be panel-compatible. That’s a code upgrade a permit triggers, and we price it as a written allowance before work starts.
- Slab movement from expansive clay soil. The Orange County basin’s clay soils shift with moisture, and older lightly-reinforced slabs move. A bathroom floor that’s drifted even a half inch shows up in cracked tile and door frames that bind. We level before we tile.
- Galvanized supply lines corroded by hard water. Stanton’s water has enough mineral content to eat through galvanized pipe over six decades. When we open walls for a remodel, we routinely find supply lines that need replacing with copper or PEX.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Stanton
We write allowances into the contract before we start, covering the specific surprises Stanton’s slab-on-grade homes produce: rotted subfloor under an original shower pan, corroded galvanized supply lines, aluminum wiring behind the vanity. When demo reveals something, we price it as a written change order and get your approval before we touch it. That’s how the process works on every job. Call (877) 610-1318 to see what an allowance line actually looks like in writing.
Often, yes. If the existing tub drain is in the right place for the shower base you want, we can convert without coring the slab, which keeps costs lower and avoids structural risk. If the drain needs to move, we core the old slab carefully, and that’s where the cost moves. On a single-story ranch near the 90680 zip, our crew opened a 1962 bathroom to find rotted subfloor under the original cast-iron tub and aluminum branch circuits feeding the vanity. We wrote allowances for slab repair and a panel-compatible rewire into the scope, then ran new copper supply lines, replaced the tub with a Kohler walk-in shower base, and called inspection before closing the walls. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you which drain scenario you’re in after a site visit.
Yes. In Stanton, any remodel that opens walls, moves plumbing, or alters electrical requires a permit, and the inspection pulls in current California seismic and Title 24 energy code requirements. That means if you’re renovating a 1950s or 1960s bathroom, you’re likely looking at GFCI/AFCI protection, updated waterproofing, and possibly structural corrections. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Stanton lots are tight, often under 6,000 square feet, with minimal side-yard setbacks. We stage materials carefully, keep the work contained to the bathroom itself, and coordinate any exterior access with you in advance. The cramped lots don’t affect the quality of the framing or waterproofing. They affect how we schedule deliveries and where we stack materials. We plan for that before day one.
Before we call the job done, we walk the bathroom with you and write down every item that isn’t right. That list gets fixed before final sign-off. Then the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on your contract. If something’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. We live twenty minutes away. If something’s wrong, we want to know about it.
