No surprises once the crew arrives on Bluebonnet Circle or over in Wedgwood. Graham Stein leads our Fort Worth team, and every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right after the job is complete, we make it right.

We’re a Cedarwell company, which means every job follows the Cedarwell Care Promise. Shoe covers at the door. Drop cloths on the floors. Quiet tools during nap hours where we can. Pet-safe product choices where there’s a choice. And a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, every time. If you’re planning a Fort Worth Bathroom Remodeling project with kids and a dog underfoot, those details aren’t extras. They’re the job.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor is the licensed professional who manages the entire renovation, from demolition and plumbing rough-in to tile, fixtures, and finish work. You need one when the job involves moving supply lines, adding a vent, waterproofing a shower pan, or anything that touches your home’s framing and electrical. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth handles full bathroom remodels in Fort Worth, Bathroom Remodeling in Arlington, Benbrook, and surrounding Tarrant County neighborhoods. A full bathroom remodel with us runs $9,000 to $28,000, depending on size and material selections.
What a Contractor Actually Manages
We coordinate the sequencing, the inspections, and the trades. That means plumbing gets roughed in before the Schluter waterproofing goes down, and the tile isn’t set until the pan passes a flood test. You get one point of contact who knows where your job stands every day.
Written Price Before We Begin
Before any work starts, you’ll have a line-item written price on paper. It includes the materials, the labor, and the clean-up. Families in Fort Worth tell us that single document is why they chose us over the other three bids.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower
A Walk In Shower is a curbless or low-curb shower without a swinging door or bathtub, designed for easy entry and easier cleaning. It’s the right choice in Fort Worth when a family member has limited mobility, when you want a more open feel in a small bathroom, or when you’re simply done scrubbing grout behind a tub that never gets used. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth builds walk-in showers with Schluter waterproofing systems and fixtures from Kohler or Moen as part of our Arlington Bathroom Remodeling and Fort Worth services. A walk-in shower installation typically runs $4,500 to $12,000 as part of a larger remodel or as a standalone project.
Curbless Designs and Aging in Place
A true curbless entry means the shower floor slopes subtly into the drain without a lip to step over. That’s not just a style preference in Fort Worth. For homeowners planning to stay in the house for twenty more years, it means the bathroom still works when knees don’t. We set the slope precisely and waterproof the entire wet area, not just the pan.
Materials That Handle Texas Humidity
Fort Worth summers throw real humidity at a bathroom. We recommend large-format porcelain tile for walk-in shower walls, which means fewer grout lines and less scrubbing. Cambria and Silestone quartz make solid threshold and bench options that won’t warp or hold moisture like wood trim will.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom Remodeling - Haltom City and Fort Worth companies range from solo carpenters who handle everything themselves to full-service contractors like Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth that manage design, permitting, materials, and labor under one written price. You need a full company rather than a handyman when your project involves moving plumbing, changing the footprint, or installing a tile shower that has to hold water for decades. Our full bathroom remodels run $9,000 to $28,000, and we give you that number in writing before demolition starts.
Why Company Size Matters
A company with real structure can pull a permit, schedule an inspector, and stand behind the work a year later. A solo carpenter who’s on a different job when your drain leaks isn’t a warranty. We answer our phone with a live person 24/7. If something goes wrong on a Tuesday night, you talk to a human, not a voicemail box.
How We Compare in Fort Worth
Families in Tanglewood, Ryan Place, and Bathroom Remodeling in Benbrook hire us because we spell out the clean-up before we start. Drop cloths on every floor we walk, shoe covers at every door, and a photo of the finished clean-up before we leave. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s on every project we do.
Bathroom Renovation
A Bathroom Renovation is a cosmetic and structural update to an existing bathroom, often keeping the same footprint while replacing surfaces, fixtures, lighting, and ventilation. It’s the right move in Fort Worth when the bones of the bathroom are fine but the tile is tired, the vanity is peeling, and the exhaust fan sounds like a lawnmower. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth renovates bathrooms across Tarrant County, including Bathroom Remodeling in Kennedale, with typical projects landing between $9,000 and $28,000 depending on whether we’re moving the toilet or simply swapping everything in place.
Renovation vs. Remodel: The Practical Difference
Renovation usually keeps the plumbing where it is. You get new tile, a new vanity, new fixtures, fresh paint, and better lighting without moving the drain lines. That’s often the smartest spend in a Fort Worth home built in the 1970s or 1980s, where the layout is fine but the finishes are forty years old.
What We Refresh Most Often
The three things that date a bathroom fastest are the vanity, the shower surround, and the light fixture. We replace those with KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinets, large-format tile, and fixtures from Moen or Kohler. The result feels like a new bathroom without the cost of relocating plumbing.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A Small Bathroom Remodel is a full update of a powder room, hall bath, or secondary bathroom, typically under 50 square feet. These are often the highest-impact projects in Fort Worth because the guest bathroom is what visitors actually see. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth remodels small bathrooms for $5,000 to $12,000, with a written price given before work begins so you know exactly what the half-bath will cost.
What a Powder Room Remodel Includes
A powder room remodel usually includes a new vanity, toilet, sink fixture, light fixture, mirror, and flooring. Because there’s no shower or tub, it’s a faster project. Many of these finish in a week or less, which matters when it’s the only bathroom guests can use.
Maximizing a Tight Footprint
In older Fort Worth homes, a 5-by-7 bathroom can feel cramped fast. We use narrower vanities, wall-mount fixtures, and lighter tile layouts to make the room feel bigger without touching the walls. A pocket door swap is another common request, and it’s a small change that reclaims real floor space.
Shower Remodel
A Shower Remodel replaces the existing shower pan, walls, valve, and trim without changing the rest of the bathroom. You need one in Fort Worth when grout is cracking, water is getting behind the tile, or the original fiberglass surround from 1998 has finally failed. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth remodels showers for $3,000 to $8,500 depending on tile selection, valve work, and whether we’re adding a niche or bench. Every shower we rebuild gets Schluter waterproofing behind the tile, not just cement board and hope.
When a Shower Fails
The first sign is usually a soft spot in the drywall on the other side of the shower wall, or grout that stays dark long after the water stops. In Fort Worth’s clay-heavy soil, even small slab shifts can crack a shower pan over time. We remove the old pan, inspect the subfloor, and rebuild the slope so water actually drains.
Small Upgrades That Change Everything
A built-in shampoo niche means no more rusted wire caddy. A hand-shower with a slide bar makes bathing a dog or rinsing a toddler infinitely easier. We discuss these options during the estimate and price them in writing, so there’s no change-order surprise at the end.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A Tub to Shower Conversion removes the existing bathtub and replaces it with a walk-in shower that fits the same footprint. It’s the most common bathroom project we do in Fort Worth, because families with growing kids and aging parents keep deciding they’d rather have a safe, easy shower than a tub nobody soaks in. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth converts tubs to showers for $3,500 to $10,000, including waterproofing, tile, glass, and fixture replacement.
Works With the Existing Drain Location
Most tub-to-shower conversions keep the drain where it already is, which saves thousands compared to moving the plumbing. We remove the tub, extend or replace the valve to shower height, build the new pan with proper slope, and tile the surround. The footprint doesn’t change, but the room opens up immediately.
What We Do With the Old Tub
We remove the old tub, cut it or carry it out through the house with drop cloths laid down first, and haul it away. That’s part of the written price. You don’t get a surprise haul-away fee, and you don’t find the old tub leaning against your fence the next week.
One Day Bath Remodel
A One Day Bath Remodel is a marketing term in the remodeling industry that describes replacing a tub or shower surround with a manufactured acrylic or composite system, not a full tile renovation. In Fort Worth, these systems can go in quickly because the panels are fabricated off-site to fit the existing space. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth does not sell one-day acrylic shells; our tile showers take longer because the waterproofing, tile setting, and grouting have to cure properly. What we do offer is a written schedule before we start, so you know exactly how many days the bathroom will be out of commission. A shower replacement with us runs $3,000 to $8,500, not because it’s rushed, but because it’s priced honestly.
Why We Skip the One-Day Shells
An acrylic panel system covers the old wall but doesn’t fix the water damage behind it. We’ve opened up Fort Worth bathrooms where water had been leaking behind a one-day surround for years. A tile shower with real waterproofing under it lasts decades, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we fix it.
What “Fast” Actually Costs
silicone seams that separate from movement, grout lines that crack, and a one-year warranty against a problem that returns. We’d rather take the time to do it right and give you a real warranty in writing. Call us if you’re comparing one-day options. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs honestly.

AfterBrands We Service
We work with cabinet lines from KraftMaid and Wellborn, and countertop materials from Cambria. KraftMaid cabinets are built in Ohio and offer a wide range of door styles and finishes for Fort Worth bathrooms, from powder rooms to master suites. We install what KraftMaid ships, and if a door arrives with a ding, KraftMaid replaces it under their warranty. Wellborn cabinets come out of Alabama and give us solid construction at a mid-range price point, which fits a lot of family bathrooms.
Cambria is American-made quartz with a transferable warranty, and we use it for vanities, shower benches, and curbs where engineered stone outperforms natural marble in a wet Texas bathroom. Whether you have KraftMaid, Wellborn, or Cambria on your list, or you’re not sure yet, we can help you compare them by what each one actually costs in your layout.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. This means water is getting past the shower pan or the toilet wax ring, and it will only get worse. In a two-story Fort Worth home, that ceiling stains the room below the bathroom. Call us before the drywall fails.
- Grout that stays dark long after the shower is dry. Dark, always-wet grout means water is living in the walls. It’s not a cleaning problem. It’s a waterproofing failure, and the fix is behind the tile, not on top of it.
- A soft or spongy spot in the floor near the tub or toilet. That’s wood rot from a slow leak, and it’s structural. The faster it’s opened up and dried out, the less subfloor has to be replaced.
- A musty smell that won’t go away in the bathroom. That smell is mold feeding on moisture you can’t see. Bathroom exhaust fans help, but if the smell persists with the fan running, the moisture source is inside the walls.
- A toilet that rocks or a tub that flexes when you step in. A rocking toilet means the flange is broken or the subfloor has rotted around it. A flexing tub means the subfloor underneath is compromised. Both are repair jobs now, not later.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Sit down and talk it through. We start with a phone call and an in-home visit in Fort Worth. We ask about who uses the bathroom, what’s failing, and what you actually want changed, not what a showroom thinks you want. This is where the written price starts taking shape.
- 2
Get the written price. Before any work begins, you get a line-item written price covering materials, labor, fixtures, and clean-up. It’s not an estimate that grows when the crew finds surprises. It’s a price.
- 3
Demolition with care. We cover the floors with drop cloths, put shoe covers on at the door, and ask before we move anything. We cut the water to the bathroom, remove the old fixtures and tile, and haul everything away. The rest of your home stays clean.
- 4
Rough-in and waterproofing. This is the stage that matters most and the one nobody sees. We check the framing, replace anything rotted, run the new supply lines and drain, and apply waterproofing to the entire wet area, not just the pan. Then we test it before tile goes up.
- 5
Tile, fixtures, and finish. We set the tile, install the vanity and top, hang the mirror and lighting, mount the fixtures, and make the final connections. Then we clean up, take a photo of the clean-up, and walk the bathroom with you to confirm every detail is right. Your job isn’t done until you say it is.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Fort Worth?
A typical full bathroom remodel in Fort Worth runs $9,000 to $28,000. A small bathroom or powder room remodel lands between $5,000 and $12,000. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 when it’s a standalone project of new construction inside an existing footprint, and a tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000. Shower replacement alone runs $3,000 to $8,500. These ranges reflect what we see across Fort Worth neighborhoods like Arlington Heights, Ridglea, and TCU-West Cliff.
What moves the price is the size of the bathroom, what’s behind the walls, and what materials you choose. A 5-by-8 hall bath with a tub and builder-grade tile is on the lower end. A master bathroom with a curbless walk-in shower, KraftMaid double vanity, Cambria quartz top, and heated floor is on the higher end. What’s behind the walls matters, too. If you’ve got a wet subfloor from a failed shower pan, the repair comes before the remodel. The free estimate we give you includes opening a discussion about those unknowns, so you’re not surprised later.
To avoid overpaying, know what you’re getting. A low bid that doesn’t include waterproofing behind the tile isn’t cheaper, it’s just deferred. We include waterproofing, drop cloths, shoe covers, haul-away, and clean-up in the written price, every time. No change orders at the end because the disposal fee wasn’t in the quote.
