Bathroom remodeling in Venice typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with small bathrooms landing between $5,000 and $12,000.

We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been doing this work since 1998. There’s a fair chance we’ve worked on a street within a mile of you in the 90291 or 90294 zip codes. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll look at your bathroom the way a neighbor would.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Venice’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Venice homeowners tend to ask the same question after getting burned by a fly-by-night crew: “Will the price actually match what you quoted on the phone?” We put every scope, allowance, and change in writing before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. If a change order adds cost, you’ll see it in writing before we proceed. That’s how we’ve kept our name in this community for over 29 years.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Venice
We’re a full Bathroom Remodeling contractor, so we handle the entire job from demo to final inspection. Here’s where most Venice homeowners start.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Full bathroom remodels in Venice run $9,000 to $28,000. Working on older beach bungalows near the Canals, we regularly find subfloor rot hidden under failing tile and cast-iron drains that have just about given up. We pull permits, open the walls, fix what’s behind them, and then build the bathroom you actually wanted. No surprises at the end, because anything we find gets documented and agreed to in writing before we move.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Venice typically costs $4,500 to $12,000. For aging-in-place remodels or anyone ready to ditch the tub, a curbless walk-in with a built-in seat and handheld sprayer is the most common request we hear from homeowners near South Venice and Venice Gardens. We also do frameless glass enclosures, which run higher because the glass is custom-cut on site. For any shower job, specify a proper moisture barrier behind the tile, because salt air finds its way indoors here.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Venice runs $3,500 to $10,000. It’s a smart, practical upgrade for the small 5×8 bathrooms common in older Mid-century builds across 90291. We pull the old tub, relocate or replace the drain to suit a shower base, patch the subfloor, and waterproof the surround before tile goes up. Most conversions take four to six working days.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
A bathroom vanity installation in Venice typically runs $800 to $3,000 for the cabinet alone, plus countertop and faucet if you’re replacing those too. We install the branded materials you can look up: Simonton and PGT for any window work, and solid plywood vanity boxes with soft-close hardware. Tile selection is where most budgets move. A simple ceramic surround costs less than floor-to-ceiling marble-look porcelain with a niche and pencil trim.

Trusted Brands We Service in Venice
We run Simonton and PGT windows and doors, and CGI for impact-rated openings when a bathroom faces the water. Sourcing these brands is easy for us because we also handle Windows & Doors in Venice, which means parts and warranty follow-ups don’t take weeks. When a client near the Venice Canals needs a porthole window replaced in a bathroom, we already know the right local distributors and the right spec for coastal exposure.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Venice Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on fixtures and framing. The onshore breeze off the bay carries salt that eats through cheap metal plumbing and cheap fasteners far faster than inland. We rough in with stainless or marine-grade hardware and brass supply stops by default, not as an upsell.
- Sand-fill settling around western Venice. Much of west Venice was low marsh and sandy fill. We’ve seen vanities out of plumb and cracked wall tile, and when we look underneath, the floor joists have twisted and settled. That’s why we check the floor framing before we quote tile.
- Undersized ventilation and persistent mildew. Older bungalows in the 1920s and 1930s stock often have no exhaust fan at all. We install a properly vented, right-sized fan on every full remodel, ducted to the exterior, not the attic. It’s code and it’s the only way to keep grout from graying out.
- Outdated plumbing that can’t handle modern fixtures. The moment we drop a new thermostatic valve into a 40-year-old galvanized supply line, we’re asking for pin-hole leaks. We assess the supply and drain lines on every quoted remodel, and if they’re shot, we replace them before tile goes in.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Venice
A bathroom remodel in Venice typically costs $9,000 to $28,000, while a small, 5×8 guest bath usually falls between $5,000 and $12,000. The exact price depends on the size of the room, the finishes you pick, the condition of the plumbing and framing, and whether you’re moving any walls or fixtures. Call (877) 610-1318 with the address and we’ll give you a written, line-item estimate.
Yes, but the process requires extra layers. The Venice Canals Historic District is an HPOZ, which means any exterior change visible from the street or canal must pass historic review on top of standard building permits and the California Coastal Commission’s Coastal Development Permit review for nearly every project in Venice. Interior-only bathroom work moves faster since there’s less exterior exposure, but on an older canal property, you’ll still need an engineer’s look at the foundation before we begin. We manage permits and inspections on every eligible job.
Yes. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible bathroom remodel in Venice. Beyond that, nearly all of Venice sits in the California Coastal Zone, which means a Coastal Development Permit may be required before construction starts. This adds time and planning, and it’s exactly why affordable bids from contractors who skip this step usually end in stop-work orders. We handle the full permitting sequence and we’ll tell you the timeline in writing.
For a small bathroom or a tub-to-shower conversion, expect four to seven working days of construction. A full renovation with plumbing relocations, custom tile, and a frameless glass enclosure typically runs three to five weeks. The thickest variable in Venice is the permitting runway: with Coastal Commission review, plan approval can add three to six months before we even schedule demolition. Interior-only remodels that don’t touch the footprint or building exterior often move faster.
Not unless you approve a written change order first. If we open a wall and find rotted framing or failed plumbing, we’ll write it up, walk you through the cost, and wait for your signature before we spend a dollar. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote and we’ll walk you through the numbers in person.

We’d rather walk your bathroom with you than give you a number over the phone without seeing it.
