Trusted Bathroom Remodeling for Houston Homeowners
Our Bathroom Remodeling in Houston typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the final number depends on square footage, whether you move plumbing, and the materials you choose. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Houston, led by Trevor Nash, and we’ve spent years fixing the kind of bathroom problems Houston homeowners know too well: water behind the tile, showers that drain into the living room below, and “finished” remodels that look good until the first humid August. We put the price and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing before we pick up a tool. Call (254) 527-5340 and you’ll get a real person, a clear explanation of what your bathroom needs, and a number on paper.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor is a general contractor who manages the whole job: demolition, plumbing, electric, tile, fixtures, and trim. You need one when the scope goes beyond a cosmetic update, especially in Houston where the local humidity and clay soil create real issues behind the walls. Penhallow Remodeling Houston handles the entire remodel from the first measurement to the final grout line. A full bathroom renovation in Houston runs $9,000 to $28,000, and before we start, you receive a written price, a defined arrival window, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Written Price, Written Guarantee
Before any demo begins, we hand you a written number. Not a range, not a ballpark. That number stays the number through punch list and final walkthrough. The same document includes the guarantee covering our work for a full year after installation.
What “Full Service” Actually Means
We don’t sub out the hard parts to someone you’ve never met. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians handle the plumbing reroutes, the cement board, the waterproofing, and the tile setting. You know exactly who is in your home and they answer to us.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower
A Walk In Shower replaces the traditional tub or low curb with a barrier-free or low-threshold shower floor, often with a frameless glass surround. Homeowners in Houston choose this when mobility becomes a factor, or when the old tub simply takes up space that a generous shower could use better. Walk-in shower installation typically costs $4,500 to $12,000 in Houston depending on tile choices, glass, and whether we move the drain. Penhallow Remodeling Houston installs walk-in showers with proper waterproofing underneath: cement board substrate, membrane, and sloped pan so water never finds its way into your slab.
Kohler and Moen Fixtures
We install Kohler and Moen valves and showerheads as standard, not as an upgrade. These brands carry their own manufacturer warranties that sit alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. You get layered protection on the parts most likely to fail.
Slab-On-Grade Considerations
Houston’s slab foundations mean drain locations matter more than you might think. We inspect the existing plumbing before quoting, so the price reflects what the slab actually requires. No surprises after the tile comes up.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom Remodeling Companies range from one-man operations to large general contractors, and the difference comes down to process, accountability, and what happens when something goes wrong. Penhallow Remodeling Houston operates under the Kingswell standard established in 2004, which requires a written price before any work starts, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every project. When you compare us to other bathroom remodelers in Houston, ask one question: will they put the guarantee in writing before you sign? We will. Every time.
How We Compare
Most contractors hand over a verbal estimate and hope you don’t ask too many questions. We hand over a written price, a written guarantee, and a real phone number that a real person answers 24/7. The difference shows up on the first call.
The Kingswell Way
The Kingswell Way is simple: say the price before the work. Show up in the window we gave. Leave the place cleaner than we found it. Those three rules have guided every Kingswell-family contractor since 2004, including us here in Houston.
Bathroom Renovation
A Bathroom Renovation may keep the existing layout while replacing finishes, fixtures, and surfaces, or it may open walls and reconfigure the space. Houston homes range from 1950s ranch builds in Garden Oaks to newer construction in Katy and our Bathroom Remodeling in South Houston covers each, with every project presenting different renovation realities. A full bathroom renovation in Houston typically runs $9,000 to $28,000. Penhallow Remodeling Houston approaches every renovation the same way: inspect first, quote in writing, and never start until you understand exactly what is behind the walls and under the tile.
Water Damage Discovery
In Houston, a renovation often reveals water damage that the previous remodel papered over. We inspect subfloors and wall cavities before we finalize the scope. If we find rot, you hear about it with photos and a revised written number before we proceed, not after.
Materials That Handle Houston Humidity
We recommend materials suited to our climate: solid plywood substrates, sealed cement board, and properly vented exhaust systems. Silestone and Caesarstone countertops, Cambria quartz, and James Hardie backer materials all perform well in high-humidity environments.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A Small Bathroom Remodel targets the half-bath, the guest bath, or the compact hall bath, usually under 40 square feet. These projects cost $5,000 to $12,000 in Houston and typically include a new vanity, toilet, flooring, lighting, and fresh paint. Penhallow Remodeling Houston handles small bathrooms with the same written-price, written-guarantee standard as a full primary bath. Small does not mean simple, and we treat the plumbing access, ventilation, and waterproofing with the same care.
What You Can Do in a Small Bath
A small bathroom can gain significant usable space with a floating vanity, a corner shower, or a pocket door. We’ll show you drawings before we swing a hammer. The price on paper includes every change you approve, so the small bath stays small in cost, too.
Guest Bath Priorities
For guest baths in Katy and The Woodlands, homeowners often prioritize durability over trends. We stock KraftMaid and Wellborn vanities with finishes that hold up to frequent use and humid air. The result is a bath that looks good in year five, not just week one.
Shower Remodel
A Shower Remodel replaces or upgrades the shower itself: the pan, the tile, the glass, the valve, or all of it. Houston shower remodels commonly run $3,000 to $8,500 for a full replacement, with higher-end tile and frameless glass pushing toward the top of that range. Penhallow Remodeling Houston starts every shower remodel by looking for the problem that prompted the call in the first place: cracked grout, leaking pan, mold behind the tile, or a valve that no longer holds temperature.
Shower Pan vs. Tile Floor
We recommend a pre-sloped, waterproof shower pan under tile rather than a tiled floor over a poorly sealed bed. That detail is where Houston showers fail most often. Our method includes a membrane and flood test before tile goes down.
Frameless Glass Options
Frameless glass changes the look of a shower, but it also changes the waterproofing requirements. We use certified glass installers and ensure the curb and threshold are built to support it. Every decision is in the written quote before work begins.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A Tub to Shower Conversion removes the existing bathtub and replaces it with a walk-in or step-in shower in the same footprint. In Houston, this conversion typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether the drain moves and what waterproofing the old tub area requires. Penhallow Remodeling Houston handles these conversions frequently in older homes across Richmond, Tomball, and Baytown, where Bathroom Remodeling in Deer Park also addresses original cast iron tubs sitting over slab foundations with surrounding soffits hiding aging plumbing.
What the Slab Tells Us
Before we quote a tub to shower conversion, we inspect the drain location and existing pipe condition. Moving a drain in a slab costs more than reusing it. You’ll see that difference in the written price, explained in plain English.
Aging-in-Place Design
Many Houston homeowners convert tubs because stepping over the side has become a fall risk. We build low-threshold entries, grab-bar backing behind the walls, and anti-slip flooring. The shower looks clean and modern, and it works for every stage of life.
One Day Bath Remodel
A One Day Bath Remodel is a fast-track scope that replaces the existing tub or shower, valve, and trim without the weeks-long full renovation. It’s a good fit when the structure is sound and the goal is a clean, functional update. One-day bath remodels in Houston run from $3,000 for a basic shower swap up to $10,000 when we include premium slabs, fixtures, and waterproofing. Penhallow Remodeling Houston does these projects for homeowners who want the finish refreshed without the full remodel commitment.
What One Day Includes
The one-day scope covers demolition of the old tub or shower, plumbing inspection and fixture replacement, wall substrate, waterproofing, and installation of the new unit or tile surround. You get the same written price and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Where One Day Is Not Enough
If the bathroom shows signs of subfloor rot, water intrusion, or out-of-code plumbing, a one-day remodel is the wrong move. We’ll tell you that plainly, with photos and a written explanation, and we’ll propose the full bathroom remodel instead. Honest first, price second.

AfterBrands We Service
We install and stand behind KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and we’ve worked with these lines long enough to know their specs, lead times, and hardware. When a vanity arrives from KraftMaid, it comes with frame construction and finished interiors that hold up to Houston humidity, and our installation is covered by the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as every other Penhallow Remodeling Houston project.
We also install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and we understand the differences between quartz and natural stone in a wet room. Whether you’re drawn to a Silestone vanity top or a Cambria slab in the primary bath, the stone carries its own manufacturer warranty alongside ours. If you’re looking at James Hardie backer or any other make, we can help: the brand matters less than the install, and the install is what we guarantee in writing.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. That’s usually a leaking shower pan, a failed toilet seal, or a slow pipe drip. By the time the stain shows, the water has been running inside the floor assembly for weeks or months.
- Grout that stays dark or cracks repeatedly. Cracked or missing grout lets water behind the tile and into the substrate. In Houston’s humidity, that moisture becomes mold inside the wall cavity fast, even if the tile face looks fine.
- Soft spots around the toilet or tub. If the floor flexes near the toilet base or tub edge, subfloor rot has already begun. This is not a caulk-and-paint situation, and delaying it only expands the repair area and the price.
- A shower that drains slowly or backs up. Slow drainage in a slab home can point to a broken or sagging drain line. We inspect before we quote, and if the problem is structural, you’ll see it in the written scope and the written price.
- Mold returns after cleaning. Recurring mold on the ceiling, wall, or silicone means moisture is trapped where you can’t see it. Treating the stain doesn’t fix the source. A professional inspection finds the leak behind the surface.
Our Process, Step by Step
We follow the same process on every bathroom remodel in Houston, whether it’s a $5,000 guest bath or a $28,000 primary suite. The Kingswell Way says say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, and leave the place cleaner than we found it. Here’s how that looks on your job:
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (254) 527-5340 and a live person answers, any hour. We ask what’s going on, set a visit window, and write down the details you give us. No voicemail maze, no callback roulette.
- 2
On-site inspection and measurements. Trevor Nash or one of our uniformed technicians walks the bathroom, checks the walls, floor, plumbing access, and ventilation. We look for what’s behind the surfaces, not just what’s on them.
- 3
Written price and scope. You receive a written number covering the entire scope we discussed. This is the price. If we find something later, you approve the change in writing before any work proceeds. No change orders at the door.
- 4
Remodel and progress walkthroughs. We protect your floors, run dust barriers, and keep the work site swept. You get progress updates and a walkthrough at the critical points, including waterproofing before tile and shower pan before glass.
- 5
Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the finished bathroom together, test the fixtures, and hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Houston?
A typical bathroom remodel in Houston runs $9,000 to $28,000. Here’s what that looks like in real scopes: a small guest bath with new vanity, toilet, flooring, and paint lands around $5,000 to $12,000. A primary bath with a walk-in shower, frameless glass, tile to the ceiling, and a custom vanity runs $15,000 to $28,000. A tub to shower conversion in the existing footprint falls between $3,500 and $10,000, and a stand-alone shower replacement starts around $3,000 and tops out near $8,500.
What drives the price up or down? The big three are plumbing moves, waterproofing scope, and material grade. Moving a drain or a toilet in a Houston slab home costs more than reusing existing locations. Waterproofing done correctly (cement board, membrane, flood test) adds labor but prevents the $8,000 repair two years later. And the materials: a builder-grade vanity costs a fraction of a KraftMaid or Wellborn unit, just as a Moen valve is money well spent over an off-brand that fails in 18 months.
How to avoid overpaying: get a written price, not a verbal range. Ask what happens if the crew finds water damage mid-job, who pulls the permit, and what the warranty covers in writing. Our free estimate includes the full scope, the written price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise on paper. You compare apples to apples, and you know the number before you sign anything.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Remodeling in Houston
Bathroom remodeling is the process of updating or replacing the surfaces, fixtures, plumbing, and layout of a bathroom to improve function, safety, or appearance.
