Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A bathroom remodeling contractor handles the demolition, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, and finishing work that turns an outdated bathroom into a functional, waterproof space. You need one when the work involves moving supply lines, replacing a shower pan, or rebuilding walls that have absorbed moisture over years of Palm Beach Bathroom Remodeling humidity. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach runs a full bathroom remodel in the $9,000 to $28,000 range, depending on square footage, material grades, and whether the footprint changes. Every crew member is background-checked and uniformed, so the person at your door is the person we said would be there.
Moisture and Mold Inspection
Before we touch a tile, we look behind the walls. In West Palm Beach, bathrooms built before modern waterproofing standards often hide moisture damage behind the tub surround or under the floor.
We document what we find, show it to you, and price any remediation in the written quote before work starts.
Licensed Trades Coordination
Plumbing and electrical work gets pulled into the schedule by our project lead, so you’re not calling separate subcontractors. The written price includes this coordination.
That means one schedule, one point of contact, and a permit pulled when the scope requires it.
Walk In Shower
A walk in shower replaces a traditional tub or shower enclosure with a curbless or low-threshold entry, typically built with a Schluter waterproofing system and finished with large-format tile or solid surface panels. In West Palm Beach, a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, with the higher end reflecting custom glass, built-in niches, and bench seating. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach builds walk-in showers that drain properly on concrete slabs, which is the standard foundation type in this region and demands a specific approach to slope and waterproofing.
Curbless Entry for Aging in Place
Homeowners planning to stay in their homes through retirement often choose a curbless shower for wheelchair and walker access. The floor slope has to be exact to keep water from pooling.
We lay the drain at the correct grade and test it before tile goes down.
Built-In Storage Without Grout Lines
Recessed niches with solid surface shelves from Corian or Schluter eliminate the mold-prone grout corners that standard shower shelves create. Fewer grout lines means less scrubbing in Florida’s humidity.
We frame and waterproof the niche before tiling, so water never reaches the studs.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom remodeling companies range from solo operators who sub out every trade to general contractors who hold the schedule, the permits, and the warranty in one place. You need a company rather than a handyman when the project involves moving plumbing, updating electrical, or waterproofing a wet area that will be inspected. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach is a Cedarwell company founded in 2005, and our bathroom remodels run $9,000 to $28,000 in West Palm Beach, with a written price delivered before any work starts. Compare that to companies that give a verbal estimate and then revise it after demolition.
Warranty That Outlasts the Job
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every completed project. If something isn’t done right after we leave, we make it right.
We put this in writing because a one-year promise is a stronger statement than a 30-day callback window.
Named Brands You Can Research
We install cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria and Silestone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. Each manufacturer has a warranty you can verify independently.
That’s the point: you shouldn’t have to take our word for the materials we use.
Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation in West Palm Beach typically means updating an existing bathroom without changing its footprint: new vanity, new toilet, new lighting, new tile, and often a new shower or tub surround. You need it when the bathroom functions but feels dated, or when small leaks behind the walls have started to show as staining or soft drywall. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach prices our Bathroom Remodeling in North Palm Beach renovations in the $9,000 to $28,000 range based on material grade and scope. We pull permits when the project requires it, and we pass every inspection before the final walkthrough.
Salt Air and Fixture Finish Selection
Coastal air in West Palm Beach accelerates corrosion on cheap chrome. We recommend brushed nickel or matte black finishes from Moen and Kohler because they hold their surface longer in this climate.
It’s a small selection that makes a visible difference two or three years down the road.
Working Around Family Routines
We schedule quiet work like tile cutting and demolition around your children’s sleep and school hours where possible. Drop cloths go down on every visit, and shoe covers stay on at the door.
If you have pets, we’ll use pet-safe adhesive and grout products where there’s a choice, and we’ll ask before we move a food bowl or a crate.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A small bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach, such as a guest bath or a condo bathroom under 50 square feet, runs $5,000 to $12,000. You need one when the room’s function is holding up but the surfaces and fixtures are tired: a new vanity, new floor tile, new lighting, and a resurfaced or replaced shower can be done within that range. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach treats a small bathroom with the same drop cloths, written price, and clean-up photo as a Bathroom Remodeling - Greenacres primary bath. The square footage doesn’t change how we treat your floors.
Condos and HOA Requirements
Many West Palm Beach condos require specific approvals before a bathroom remodel starts. We’ve worked inside HOA rules for years and can help you understand what the board needs before we submit anything.
That includes plumbing schematics and working-hour restrictions, which we fold into the schedule.
Space-Saving Layouts That Actually Work
A 40-square-foot bathroom doesn’t need to feel cramped. A wall-mounted vanity, a corner shower with a curved glass door, and a recessed medicine cabinet free up floor space without moving plumbing.
We’ll draw the layout in the estimate so you can see exactly what fits before you commit.
Shower Remodel
A shower remodel replaces the shower pan, wall substrate, tile, and fixtures inside the existing footprint, and in West Palm Beach it runs $3,000 to $8,500. You need one when the grout is failing, the pan is cracked, or water is getting behind the tile through failed caulk lines. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach strips the shower to the studs, rebuilds with a Schluter waterproofing system, and tiles over a properly sloped mortar bed. No shortcuts on the pan, because the pan is the part you can’t see when it fails.
Waterproofing Before Tile
Most shower failures in West Palm Beach homes start behind the tile, not on the surface. We use a full-membrane system that ties the pan, the walls, and the curb into one continuous waterproof layer.
We water-test the pan for 24 hours before any tile goes down, and we show you the test results.
Replacing Fixtures at the Same Time
A shower remodel is the cheapest time to upgrade the mixing valve and the showerhead, because the wall is already open. We install Moen Posi-Temp or Kohler pressure-balancing valves as standard.
That means no surprise pipe replacement later, and the new valve is covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A tub to shower conversion removes the existing bathtub and replaces it with a walk-in or low-threshold shower, typically running $3,500 to $10,000 in West Palm Beach. You need one when the tub sits unused, when a family member has trouble stepping over the tub wall, or when the tub’s drain and overflow have leaked into the floor sheathing. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach handles the full conversion: demo, drain relocation, new waterproofing, tile or solid surface walls, and a properly sloped shower floor.
Drain Relocation on Concrete Slabs
Most West Palm Beach homes sit on concrete slabs, which means moving a tub drain to a shower drain requires cutting the slab and re-routing the trap. This is standard work for our crew, but it’s the step that separates a real remodeler from a surface resurfacing job.
We cut, plumb, and re-pour the slab, then waterproof over the top.
Grab Bar Blocking While the Walls Are Open
If you’re converting a tub to a shower, adding blocking for grab bars now costs almost nothing. Adding them later means opening the wall again.
We frame the blocking at the right height and note it on the as-built plan so you can install bars whenever you need them.
One Day Bath Remodel
A one day bath remodel typically refers to a surface-level replacement of the shower or tub surround using prefabricated panels, and in West Palm Beach it runs $2,500 to $6,000 depending on the panel system and any plumbing updates. You need it when the existing shower is structurally sound but the surface is worn, stained, or leaking at the seams. Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach does not offer a literal one-day full remodel, because real waterproofing and proper tile work take longer than that, and we won’t cut those corners to hit a marketing claim.
What a One Day System Can and Cannot Do
Prefabricated panel systems can cover a failing surround quickly, but they don’t fix water damage behind the wall. If the studs or the subfloor are compromised, the panels go over a problem that will keep rotting.
We’ll inspect the cavity first and tell you honestly whether a panel system is appropriate or whether the wall needs to be opened.
Speed Without Sacrificing the Written Price
If a surface-level replacement is right for your bathroom, we can move fast. The written price still comes before any work starts, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise still applies.
Fast doesn’t mean undocumented, and it doesn’t mean skip the clean-up photo at the end.

AfterBrands We Service
We install and service fixtures and finishes from Kohler, Moen, Blanco, and Caesarstone. Kohler and Moen are our most common valve and fixture lines in West Palm Beach bathrooms; we stock their common replacement cartridges and trim kits so a warranty part doesn’t idle your shower for a week. Caesarstone quartz surfaces require specific fabrication and seam techniques, and we work with local fabricators who cut and polish to the manufacturer’s spec.
Blanco sinks appear more often in our home renovation kitchen work, but when a client wants a matching Blanco basin in the bathroom, we handle the install and the mounting hardware the same way. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can help you select and install a product with a verifiable warranty.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. This is a sign of a slow leak at the tub drain or the supply lines. Ignoring it lets mold grow in the joist cavity, and the repair cost climbs the longer it sits.
- Grout that stays dark after cleaning. Darkened grout in the shower floor or corners often means water has penetrated behind the tile and is trapped against the substrate. Re-caulking won’t fix it because the moisture is already behind the surface.
- A soft or spongy spot in the floor near the tub or toilet. Subfloor rot in West Palm Beach’s humid climate spreads quickly. The floor might hold your weight today and fail under the toilet flange in six months.
- A shower pan that holds water after the drain is clear. This indicates the pan’s slope has failed or the waterproofing has developed a low spot. Standing water accelerates grout failure and invites mold into the membrane.
- Visible cracking along the tub-to-wall joint. When the tub moves slightly and the caulk line splits, water gets behind the tub every shower. The fix is not more caulk; it’s opening the wall and checking the substrate.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Walkthrough and measurement. We start by looking at the bathroom, the access from outside, and any signs of moisture. We’ll ask about your family’s routines, kids’ nap schedules, and pets, because that shapes the work plan.
- 2
Written price, fixed before work starts. We deliver a line-item written price that covers the scope we discussed, including the drop cloths, the shoe covers, and the clean-up. Nothing about the price is verbal or open to revision once we start.
- 3
Demolition and moisture inspection. We protect the floors and the path from the door to the bathroom before any demo begins. Once the walls are open, we inspect the studs, the subfloor, and the plumbing, and we show you anything that changes the scope before we proceed.
- 4
Framing, plumbing, and waterproofing. This is where the watertight shell gets built: new valves, new drain, Schluter membrane, and a 24-hour flood test on the pan. We’ll show you the test results before tile goes down.
- 5
Finish work, clean-up photo, and walkthrough. Tile, grout, fixtures, vanity, lighting, and all the finishing touches go in. Before we leave, we photograph the cleaned-up space and send it to you, and we walk the finished bathroom together so you can point out anything that needs attention.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical full bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on the bathroom’s size, the material grade, and whether the floor plan changes. A small bathroom remodel in a guest bath or condo usually falls between $5,000 and $12,000. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, while a tub to shower conversion lands at $3,500 to $10,000. A shower remodel within the existing footprint typically runs $3,000 to $8,500, and a basic vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000.
The biggest cost drivers are waterproofing scope, tile selection, and whether plumbing moves. Moving a drain on a concrete slab costs more than keeping the existing plumbing location. Large-format tile or natural stone costs more than ceramic, and it also requires more careful substrate prep. The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written line-item price before work starts, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for and compare scope apples-to-apples. Our free estimates include the written price, the product selections, and a schedule, and they come with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Bathroom remodeling is the process of updating or rebuilding the wet space in your home, including the shower or tub, vanity, toilet, lighting, flooring, and waterproofing.

A full remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the project starts with a written price before any work begins.
A typical full bathroom remodel takes two to four weeks, depending on whether plumbing moves, whether the slab needs to be cut, and how much tile is involved.

We’ll put the schedule in your written estimate and keep you updated as the work progresses through your West Palm Beach project.

Yes, we install and service Kohler and Moen fixtures regularly, and we stock common replacement cartridges and trim kits for both brands in our West Palm Beach service area. We also install Caesarstone and Silestone countertops and Blanco sinks where the project calls for them. If your fixture has a manufacturer’s warranty claim, we can help you navigate it.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24/7 at (728) 203-3270, so if a supply line bursts or a drain backs up and starts flooding the bathroom, you’ll reach a human being, not a voicemail box. We’ll walk you through shutting off the water and get a crew scheduled. For non-emergency remodels, we’ll schedule a walkthrough at a time that works for your family.
Every completed project is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t done right after the job is complete, we make it right. That’s in addition to the manufacturer warranties on the materials we install, which you can verify directly with the brand. We put the promise in writing because a warranty you can’t read isn’t worth much.
Clear the path from the entry door to the bathroom, and move any personal items out of the bathroom itself. We’ll bring the drop cloths, shoe covers, and dust barriers, and we’ll ask before we move anything that belongs to your family. Let us know your kids’ nap and school hours and any pet concerns, and we’ll work the schedule around them where possible.
