Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across West Palm Beach
A full bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on scope, materials, and whether your home sits on the Intracoastal side where salt air dictates different specifications. For smaller bathrooms, expect $5,000 to $12,000; a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000. If you live in a historic district like Flamingo Park or El Cid, the number may include drainage work your neighbors never mention until the floor is open. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll walk your job with a written price before any work starts.
We work throughout West Palm Beach weekly, from the 1950s ranches in Northwood Hills to the new concrete-block infill along the Intracoastal. Our crews know what opens up when a 1920s bathroom comes apart, and we plan for it before the first tile is set, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
Why Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We are a Bathroom Remodeling team that works in West Palm Beach homes every week, which means we have seen the inside of enough 1950s slabs and 1920s plaster walls to know what the next one holds. That local experience is how we write a real price instead of an estimate that grows after the crew arrives. Graham Stein leads our West Palm Beach work, and he walks every project before we commit to a number.
Families in West Palm Beach keep calling us for three reasons. First, the price is written before any work starts, not after the subfloor comes up. Second, the crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, with shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit. Third, we answer the phone when you call, 24/7, with a live person, not a voicemail box. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every project we complete in West Palm Beach: if it is not done right, we make it right.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in West Palm Beach
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in West Palm Beach range from national franchises to two-person crews working out of a truck. The difference is not always visible in the bid. What matters is whether the company carries the cost of the unknowns inside your walls, or whether you do. In a city where 1920s El Cid homes hide rotted framing behind old jalousie windows and 1950s Northwood Hills slabs conceal failing cast-iron drains, the wrong bid is the one that assumes a perfect rough-in. A full bathroom remodel here runs $9,000 to $28,000, and a small bathroom remodel runs $5,000 to $12,000.
Written Price Before Work Starts
We price the job before the crew arrives, and that number includes the things other companies add later: shoe covers, drop cloths, the photo of the clean-up before we leave. If the drain line under your Northwood Hills slab is shot, we scope it during the walkthrough and include the re-pipe in the number you approve, not in a change order you sign at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday.
Clean-Up That Meets a Higher Standard
You have kids and pets. So do many of our West Palm Beach customers. That is why quiet tools during sleep hours, pet-safe products where there is a choice, and a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves are part of every job, not add-ons. We ask before we move anything. We explain the price before we touch anything. That is the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it is how we work in every West Palm Beach home.
Bathroom Renovation in West Palm Beach
Bathroom Renovation in West Palm Beach often means working with what the 1950s or 1920s left behind. A renovation may keep the footprint and the plumbing location but replace the tub, the tile, the vanity, and the fixtures, or it may be a larger gut-and-rebuild in the same room. A renovation typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full job, with a tub-to-shower conversion at $3,500 to $10,000 and a shower replacement at $3,000 to $8,500. The exact number depends on what is behind the walls when we open them, which is why our walkthrough and written price matter so much in older West Palm Beach housing stock.
Walk-In Showers and Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Most West Palm Beach families want the cast-iron tub gone and a walk-in shower in its place. We handle the full conversion: removing the tub, re-setting the drain, waterproofing with Schluter systems, and setting a tile or solid-surface shower pan. In a 1950s home, this often means addressing the cast-iron waste line while the floor is open, which is the right time to do it, not after the new tile is set.
Vanities, Tile, and Fixtures
We install vanities from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria and Silestone, and fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. These are brands with manufacturer warranties you can verify by name, and they hold up better in coastal humidity than off-brand alternatives. A bathroom vanity installation runs $800 to $3,000, and we will help you pick a finish that resists the salt air instead of fighting it.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Palm Beach
Because we are in West Palm Beach every week, we keep inventory from Tremron, Techo-Bloc, and Cambridge Pavers close by for the outdoor connections that often accompany a bathroom project on a waterfront lot. If you need paver work outside the bathroom window or a new walkway to the pool bath, we can price it the same week instead of waiting on a distributor. Our bathroom work uses Schluter waterproofing, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry. When we need a paver or a drain grate to match the rest of the property, we source it locally from brands we trust, not whatever is left in the supply house.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Salt-air rust on standard fasteners: In bathrooms within a mile of the Intracoastal, standard drywall screws and untreated steel studs rust and pop tiles within two years. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware and marine-grade caulk instead, and the price difference is small next to tearing out a tub surround.
- Hidden rot behind old jalousie windows: In historic districts like El Cid, failed jalousie windows let decades of humidity into exterior bathroom walls. We check those walls with a moisture meter before tiling, because setting tile over rotted 1920s framing guarantees mold behind a brand-new shower.
- Cast-iron drains under slab in Northwood Hills: Many 1950s homes still have original cast-iron waste lines that have rusted through. A bathroom remodel often begins with tunneling or re-piping before any tile is set, and we pull a permit so the inspection verifies the underground work before the floor closes.
- Acrylic caulk failure in humid air: Cheap acrylic caulk mildews and loses bond in less than a season in West Palm Beach’s humidity. We use marine-grade, mold-resistant sealant in every wet area, and we price it into the job instead of leaving you to redo it next spring.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach
Because many 1920s and 1950s homes in Flamingo Park, El Cid, and Northwood Hills still have original cast-iron waste lines under the slab, and those lines have a lifespan of roughly 60 to 80 years. In Northwood Hills, we regularly find rusted-through cast iron when we open a bathroom floor. That is why the line item exists: replacing the drain to the main stack with PVC while the floor is open costs far less than tunneling again after the tile is set. If you live in one of these districts, expect the drain scope to be part of a real bid, not a surprise. Call (728) 203-3270 for a written price that includes it up front.
Specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners, marine-grade caulk, sealed grout joints, and a waterproofing membrane like Schluter behind every wet surface. Standard drywall screws and untreated steel studs rust within two years in the salt air that moves off the Intracoastal, and that rust is what pops tiles off a tub surround. We also check exterior bathroom walls with a moisture meter before tiling, because old jalousie windows in West Palm Beach let decades of humidity into the framing. The upgrade costs a few hundred dollars in materials; the cheap spec can cost a full tear-out within a decade.
Yes, in most cases. West Palm Beach requires permits for plumbing changes, including moving a drain, replacing a tub with a shower, or altering the waste line, even when the wall locations stay the same. If you open the wall and find rot, and you will, the permit protects you when the work is inspected. We pull every permit on our West Palm Beach jobs, and the inspection sign-off is part of the written price. Skipping the permit saves money on day one and creates a problem when you sell the house.
Budget roughly $1,200 to $2,500 more for a coastal-spec bathroom, depending on the size of the room and the number of wet surfaces. That covers stainless or hot-dip hardware, marine-grade caulk and sealants, a moisture check on exterior walls, and a higher-spec waterproofing membrane. It is a fraction of the cost of replacing rusted fasteners, popping tiles, or remediating mold in a bathroom built with inland-spec materials near the water. We include the coastal-spec number in your written price so you can compare it side by side with the cheaper option and decide with your eyes open.
Yes, if the tub is still sound and the drain line beneath it is not. Many original cast-iron tubs in Northwood Hills are in fine shape; the problem is the cast-iron drain under the slab, which rusts from the inside. We can keep the tub, re-glaze it if needed, and replace the waste line to the main stack while the floor is open. That approach preserves the character of the 1950s bathroom and gives you another 50 years on the plumbing. Call (728) 203-3270 and we will tell you, honestly, whether your tub is worth keeping.
Get Your Written Price for Bathroom Remodeling in West Palm Beach
You should not have to wonder what the job will cost after the crew is already in your bathroom. You should know before the first shoe cover goes on. Call (728) 203-3270 and ask for a free estimate on your West Palm Beach bathroom remodel. We will walk the room, check the walls, price the drain work if your home needs it, and put the number in writing. Graham Stein leads our West Palm Beach work, and he will make sure the price is real before you approve anything. On a 1958 ranch in Northwood Hills, our crew opened the bathroom subfloor to find the cast-iron waste line rusted through under the slab. We scoped the rough-in to include replacing the drain to the main stack with PVC before waterproofing and setting the new Kohler shower pan, and we pulled a permit so the inspection sign-off verified the underground work before we closed the floor. That is how we work. That is the Cedarwell Care Promise.
