AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Wellington
A full bathroom remodel in Wellington typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, with most jobs taking two to five weeks depending on scope and whether you’re working around the equestrian season. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s crew has remodeled bathrooms in Wellington’s newer planned communities and equestrian estates alike. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your bathroom with you, put every allowance in writing, and give you a fixed price before the first tile comes up.
Wellington isn’t like older Florida towns where every bathroom has settled into its quirks. Most homes here went up between the 1980s and early 2000s as CBS slab-on-grade construction, which means we know exactly what’s behind the drywall before we open it, and exactly what the water table 18 to 24 inches down means for any drain relocation. That local knowledge keeps your remodel moving instead of stalling on surprises.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wellington’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract, and he’s been doing it since 1998. That matters in Wellington, where homeowners have seen plenty of out-of-town crews roll in, quote one number, and hand over a different bill at the finish. Our change orders are written. Every one of them. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
We answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318. Not a call center, not a voicemail box. A live person, 24 hours a day. When you call about a master bath on Olympia or a guest bath near the polo grounds, you’ll talk to someone who knows Wellington’s permitting track through Palm Beach County and the HOA boards at developments like Grand Isles, Paddock Park, and Buena Vida.
Our crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name on the truck. Tom’s sons run the crews. That’s not a pitch, it’s the structure of the company. And every job, including Bathroom Remodeling work in Wellington, comes with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Wellington
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We gut and rebuild bathrooms in Wellington’s ranch homes and two-story estates, from the slab up. Most full remodels here involve moving past builder-grade fiberglass surrounds and laminate vanities into tile showers, moisture-rated drywall, and properly vented exhaust. We coordinate plumbing rough-ins, electrical, glass enclosure templating, and the final inspection sign-off so you’re not chasing trades yourself.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
CBS slab-on-grade homes in Wellington handle walk-in showers well when the drain placement is planned before any concrete is cut. On a 1990s ranch in Grand Isles, our crew converted a builder-grade tub/shower combo into a zero-threshold walk-in shower with a linear drain and frameless glass enclosure. Because that home sits low over the water table, we recessed the plumber’s rough-in into the slab without disturbing the subfloor, then scheduled final inspection for mid-October after the owner’s seasonal tenants departed. That’s the kind of sequencing Wellington demands.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversions are the most common bathroom job we do in Wellington’s original 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods. Homeowners want to stay in place as they age, and a low-threshold shower with a built-in bench does more for daily life than a tub nobody uses. We handle the waterproofing with Schluter systems, so the conversion won’t turn into a moisture problem in five years.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
If your bathroom just needs a refresh rather than a gut, we replace vanities, retile floors and shower walls, and upgrade fixtures from builder-grade chrome to Grohe or Sterling finishes that hold up under Wellington’s humidity and hard water. We’ll tell you what’s worth replacing and what’s fine as-is. Sometimes a good vanity and new tile beat a full remodel, and we’ll say so.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We install Schluter waterproofing systems, Grohe fixtures, and Sterling tubs and shower bases. These are brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. If a Grohe cartridge fails or a Schluter drain needs attention, we can get parts without a two-week wait, because we’re not guessing at the supply chain from three states away. We stock what Wellington bathrooms need.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Scheduling a master bath gut during the Winter Equestrian Festival. From January through April, Wellington fills with owners and guests who flew in for the season. Construction noise and staging equipment near a show barn or guest quarters creates friction. We front-load disruptive work into the May through November off-season whenever possible.
- Moving drains without accounting for the water table. Wellington sits on former Everglades flatlands. Groundwater is routinely 18 to 24 inches below grade. A below-grade drain relocation without proper dewatering planning causes standing groundwater and slab moisture that shows up as mold, tile failure, or worse.
- Ignoring wind-load requirements on exterior bathroom walls. Palm Beach County code requires 170+ mph design wind speeds on new construction and significant renovations, including engineered roof-to-wall strapping and impact-rated openings. Cutting corners here fails inspection and can void your insurance.
- Builder-grade waterproofing that was never meant to last thirty years. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have fiberglass surrounds and vinyl flooring over drywall that isn’t moisture-rated. Once water gets behind it, you’re looking at mold you can’t see until the tile comes up.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Wellington
It often does, especially if you’re changing an exterior wall, adding a window, or working on a property zoned under Wellington’s equestrian overlays. We review your HOA covenants and Palm Beach County permitting requirements before demolition, and we pull the permits ourselves. The permit inspector works for you, not me, and we treat that as a feature. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what applies to your lot.
Yes, when the waterproofing is treated as a system from the start, not as an afterthought. We use Schluter waterproofing membranes on the shower pan, walls, and seams, which means the conversion stays dry without requiring you to rebuild the entire bathroom. In Wellington’s humid climate and with groundwater sitting close under the slab, this matters more than most contractors admit. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your tub-to-shower conversion.
For clients who live in Wellington year-round, we phase dust-free work like vanities, fixtures, and tile into secondary baths between show weekends from January through April. Full master-bath gut renovations get scheduled for the May through November off-season, when the estate is quieter. If your calendar says February, we’ll be honest about what can and can’t be done without disrupting your season. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your timing.
A permit means your remodel gets inspected by Palm Beach County, which protects you when you sell, refinance, or file an insurance claim. Unpermitted bathroom work, especially plumbing and electrical changes inside CBS walls, returns to bite the homeowner at the worst possible time. We pull permits on every eligible job and we don’t treat them as optional. The inspector works for you, not for me.
If your remodel touches an exterior wall, adds a window, or changes the opening size, Palm Beach County’s 170+ mph wind-load requirements apply. That includes engineered roof-to-wall strapping and impact-rated windows or shutters. We factor those costs into your written estimate up front, so you’re not hit with a code compliance surprise at the final inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific remodel triggers.
