AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Wellington
Bathroom remodeling in Wellington typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with smaller jobs like a tub-to-shower conversion landing between $3,500 and $10,000. Most Wellington homes we work on are CBS slab-on-grade builds from the 1980s through early 2000s, which means the big decisions happen early: what stays, what gets cut into concrete, and how the drain moves. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and our crews have been working in Wellington long enough to know those answers before the first tile comes up. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a written line-item quote before anything gets demolished.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wellington’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’re the owner-operated crew that Wellington calls when a national outfit has already burned them once. Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in the Olympia, Palm Beach Point, and Binks Forest neighborhoods. When we quote a bathroom remodel in Wellington, the price you get on paper is the price you pay, unless you ask for a change, and then it comes as a written change order with its own line-item cost before we touch anything.
Wellington homeowners have a particular reason to be careful about who they hire. The village is a planned community, which means HOAs and architectural review boards are part of nearly every job. We’ve pulled permits and passed inspections for bathroom remodels across Wellington, and we know which communities require board sign-off before a vent stack or window opening changes. We show up with the right paperwork the first time. If something isn’t done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is on the contract, not buried in fine print: one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Wellington
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Wellington usually means taking a builder-grade bathroom down to the studs and rebuilding it with better waterproofing, better fixtures, and a layout that actually works. We handle everything from moving plumbing rough-ins in the slab to hanging drywall, setting tile, and installing the vanity, tub, shower, and trim. Expect $9,000 to $28,000 depending on size, finish level, and whether you’re changing the footprint.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in showers are the most common upgrade we do in Wellington, especially in homes built during the CBS construction boom of the 1990s and 2000s. Many of those original showers are fiberglass or acrylic units with no waterproofing behind them. We replace them with curbless or low-curb walk-in showers built on a Schluter waterproofing system, and we install Bathroom Remodeling fixtures from brands like Grohe and Kohler. A walk-in shower installation in Wellington runs $4,500 to $12,000.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If you have a cracked builder tub or you simply never use the tub, a tub-to-shower conversion is the fastest way to make your bathroom feel bigger and work better. In Wellington slab homes, we remove the tub, adjust the drain location in the concrete if needed, and rebuild the area as a walk-in shower with proper waterproofing and a frameless glass enclosure. Expect $3,500 to $10,000. This is the job we do most between May and November, when the equestrian season winds down and construction work is welcome.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Not every Wellington bathroom needs a full gut. If your vanity is dated, your tile is tired, or your fixtures are builder-grade brass from 2001, we can replace them individually. A vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000, and tile work is priced per square foot, with porcelain and ceramic as the most common choices for Wellington’s humidity. We’ll help you pick finishes that hold up in a climate where air conditioning runs nine months a year and humidity never really quits.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Builder-grade shower waterproofing failures. Many original showers in 1980s-to-2000s Wellington homes have fiberglass or acrylic surrounds with no moisture barrier behind them. By the time you see cracked grout or peeling trim, water has often been sitting against the framing for years. We open it up, replace the damaged wood, and rebuild with Schluter or equivalent waterproofing.
- Slab-on-grade drain relocations that hit groundwater. Wellington sits on former Everglades flatlands and the water table is routinely 18 to 24 inches below grade. When we cut into a slab to move a shower drain, we plan for dewatering before the saw comes out. A contractor who doesn’t can flood the excavation and turn a neat job into a mess.
- HOA and architectural review delays. Many Wellington communities require board sign-off before venting changes, window modifications, or exterior-facing work. We handle the paperwork and know which neighborhoods enforce what, so the job doesn’t stall after demolition starts.
- Equestrian-season scheduling conflicts. From January through April, Wellington fills with horse owners who don’t want construction noise or staging equipment near their property. We front-load bathroom remodels into the summer off-season whenever possible, and we’ll tell you honestly if a February start is a bad idea.

The two biggest cost drivers in Wellington are plumbing relocations in the slab and the finish package you choose. Moving a drain in concrete is expensive and that’s where groundwater planning matters. Finishes are where allowances matter: everything gets written down, and any change is a written change order before work proceeds. We don’t surprise you at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll walk through the numbers with you line by line.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Wellington
Yes, because the job involves plumbing changes and often slab work, and Wellington and Palm Beach County require permits and inspections for both. We pull the permits on every eligible job and the inspector signs off before we call it done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why I like having them involved.
Cutting into a slab in Wellington means working 18 to 24 inches above the water table, so we plan for dewatering before any concrete is cut. A curbless shower usually requires dropping the shower floor or relocating the drain, both of which involve excavation. We handle the groundwater management as part of the job, not as a surprise change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your specific bathroom.
Yes, many Wellington communities require architectural review board approval before a vent stack or window opening is altered. Unapproved work can trigger a stop-work order and force you to redo the change. We know which Wellington HOAs have these rules and we include the approval step in our timeline, not as an afterthought.
You can, but January through April is when Wellington fills with horse owners, and construction noise near occupied equestrian estates is a fast way to strain relationships. We recommend scheduling bathroom remodels between May and November, when the season is quiet, crews move faster, and inspections process more quickly. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll find a start date that fits your calendar.
For a master bath remodel in the $15,000 to $28,000 range, we typically guide homeowners to reserve $3,000 to $8,000 for tile, fixtures, vanity, and shower glass, depending on how far you want to go. That allowance gets written into the contract, and any change to it comes as a written change order before work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll help you build the numbers for your bathroom.
One More Thing About Wellington Bathrooms
Wellington’s newer planned-community homes often have builder-grade bathroom rough-ins installed during the initial CBS construction boom. Upgrading to a curbless walk-in shower on a slab-on-grade typically requires cutting into concrete with a water table only 18 to 24 inches below the surface. That’s a groundwater management job, not a simple tile swap. We remodeled a master bath in the Olympia neighborhood where the original 2004 builder tub had a cracked acrylic shell and no waterproofing behind the fiberglass surround. Our crew handled the tub-to-shower conversion, replaced the subfloor around the drain after finding moisture damage, and installed a Kohler Purist shower system with a frameless glass enclosure. Permits and inspection sign-off cleared before the Winter Equestrian Festival season started, so the homeowner’s visiting family had full use of the bath. That’s how we work in Wellington.
