Wellborn Bathroom Remodeling: The West Palm Beach Owner’s Guide
If you have a Wellborn bathroom vanity, cabinet, or cabinet part that’s failing, we can source the replacement and install it. A full Wellborn bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach typically runs $9,000 – $28,000 depending on scope, while replacing a single Wellborn vanity or cabinet component is usually far less. Most owners discover the problem the same way: a drawer that no longer closes flush, a door hinge that sags, a finish that’s started to lift near the shower, or water damage creeping up from the base.
We’re Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach, a Cedarwell company. We’re an independent contractor, not affiliated with Wellborn, but we work with Wellborn cabinet lines regularly and know which parts match which series. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll help you identify what you have and what it needs.

Which Wellborn Models This Applies To
Wellborn has built bathroom cabinetry under several lines over the years, including Wellborn Premier, Wellborn Estate, and the semi-custom Wellborn Select series. The hinges, drawer slides, and door profiles differ between them, so the first step is always identifying what you actually have. That’s the part people get wrong most often: Wellborn changed hinge cup sizes and overlay specs between production years, and a hinge that fits a 2016 Estate door will not sit correctly on a 2022 Premier door even though both say Wellborn on the box.
You’ll find a small paper label on the inside of a drawer box or the back of a door with the series name and a date code. If that label is gone, the drawer slide brand is usually your next clue. Wellborn has used several slide suppliers over the years, and the slide profile itself tells us which hardware batch your cabinet came from. For OEM Wellborn parts, we order directly through Wellborn’s dealer network and match the finish code to your original. In many cases a quality aftermarket equivalent works just as well and costs less, but we’ll tell you plainly which one makes sense for your cabinet instead of defaulting to one or the other.
In West Palm Beach humidity, we see the same failure pattern over and over: the finish on the lower cabinet doors near the shower starts to micro-crack, and the drawer slides closest to the vanity sink develop rust spots at the attachment points. That’s a climate reality, not a manufacturing defect, and it changes which replacement parts we recommend.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your Wellborn Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Drawer slides grinding or sticking. The ball bearings inside the slide have started to corrode, usually from years of bathroom humidity. The slide still moves, but it’s throwing resistance back at you. Replacement is a direct slide swap for the same length and profile.
- Hinge sag or loose door. The hinge cup or mounting plate has worn at the screw points, which means the door no longer sits square against the cabinet face. Tightening the screw rarely fixes it permanently because the screw hole itself has wallowed out.
- Finish lifting or clouding near the shower. Moisture has worked its way under the conversion varnish Wellborn uses, and the finish is separating from the wood substrate. Touch-up won’t hold; the door or drawer front needs refinishing or replacement.
- Base swelling or water staining at the vanity bottom. Water has been sitting against the cabinet toe kick or side panel, often from a slow vanity sink leak or splash accumulation. The particle board core is absorbing it and expanding.
- Soft-close mechanism failing on one drawer. The damper cartridge inside the slide or hinge has lost its fluid, so the drawer slams instead of gliding. It’s a small part, but it makes the whole bathroom feel off.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
A full Wellborn bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach ranges from $9,000 to $28,000 installed. A partial refresh, like replacing the vanity cabinet and one or two doors, lands well below that. Where your project falls depends on scope: are we replacing one damaged cabinet, the entire vanity row, or the full bathroom including shower, tile, and fixtures?
Here’s the breakdown we give every homeowner before work starts:
| Scope | Installed Price Range (West Palm Beach) |
|---|---|
| Single Wellborn drawer slide or hinge replacement | $150 – $400 |
| Single Wellborn door or drawer front replacement | $400 – $900 |
| Wellborn vanity cabinet replacement | $3,000 – $8,000 |
| Full Wellborn bathroom remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
Every price is written down before any work starts, with itemized labor, materials listed by brand and quantity, and a firm start and end window. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. The work itself is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right after we finish, we make it right.
DIY or Call Us?
Some things you can check yourself. If a drawer slide is sticking, pull the drawer out and look for an obvious obstruction or a loose mounting screw. If a hinge is sagging, see whether the hinge plate is still tight against the cabinet face. Those are safe inspections, and sometimes they solve the problem without a service call.
What we don’t recommend is replacing Wellborn hardware yourself if you don’t know the series and date code. The hinge cup sizes, overlay measurements, and slide lengths differ between Wellborn’s lines, and guessing means spending money on parts that don’t fit or drilling new holes into a cabinet face that isn’t plug-and-play. Water-damaged cabinets are another one to leave alone: once the particle board core has absorbed moisture, structural repair requires knowing whether the cabinet box itself is compromised. Call (728) 203-3270 and we’ll walk through what you’re seeing. The estimate is free, and we’ll tell you honestly if it’s something you can handle on your own.
FAQs
A Wellborn vanity installed in a properly ventilated West Palm Beach bathroom can last 20 – 30 years, but the hardware, hinges, and slides typically need replacement once during that span. High humidity near the shower shortens the lifespan of the finish and the metal hardware on the cabinet’s lower section. We recommend checking the lower door finish and drawer slides every few years.
Yes, in most cases. A damaged door, drawer front, hinge, or slide is a component-level fix that keeps the original cabinet box intact. Even water swelling at the base can sometimes be repaired by a cabinet craftsperson if the damage has not reached the structural core. We’ll tell you the truth either way, and the written price includes exactly what the repair will take.
Swapping a hinge, drawer slide, or door front usually takes one visit, often a few hours on site. A full vanity cabinet replacement is typically a two-to-three-day job including removal, fitting, and finishing. A complete Wellborn bathroom remodel in West Palm Beach runs longer depending on the scope, and we put the start and end window in writing before any work starts.
We keep common Wellborn-compatible hinges, slides, and soft-close dampers on hand for immediate repairs. For finish-matched door fronts, drawer boxes, and series-specific cabinet components, we order through Wellborn’s dealer network, which usually lands parts in West Palm Beach within one to two weeks. If you’re also considering updates from KraftMaid, Cambria, or Silestone, we can source those through the same written-price process.
If your Wellborn bathroom cabinet is failing, don’t let it keep nagging at you. Call (728) 203-3270 for a free estimate. We’ll put the scope and the price in writing before anything is ordered or installed, and we’ll leave your bathroom cleaner than we found it. That’s how Graham Stein, the owner of Elmstead Remodeling West Palm Beach, runs every job: put it in writing, then do exactly that.
