Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Southlake
Bathroom remodeling in Southlake, TX typically costs between $9,000 and $28,000 for a full remodel, with smaller projects like a tub-to-shower conversion landing closer to $3,500 – $10,000. Southlake’s homes are large, custom-built, and frequently Mediterranean or French Eclectic in style, which means the work often involves more than swapping fixtures: there are stone facades, steep roof lines, and a city inspection process that most contractors don’t mention until it costs you money. We’re Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth, a Cedarwell company, and our Bathroom Remodeling crews work in Southlake every week, so we know which permits trigger, which HOA steps can’t be skipped, and how to keep dust out of a house where kids and pets are still living. If you’re ready to get a written price before any work starts, call (682) 708-9180.
Why Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth Is Southlake’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Southlake homeowners tend to ask the same three questions before they sign anything: what does the permit actually require, who is showing up at my door, and will the house be clean when they leave. We answer all three with a written price, a background-checked crew in uniform, and shoe covers and drop cloths on every visit, included on every job, never charged as an add-on. Graham Stein leads our Fort Worth team as your General Contractor in Southlake, and he’s the person accountable when something needs to be made right. Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right after the job is complete, we make it right, plain and simple. Our phones are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail box, so when a Southlake homeowner calls on a Saturday morning with a question about their permit sign-off, someone actually picks up.
Families in Bathroom Remodeling in Southlake aren’t shopping for the cheapest crew. They’re shopping for the contractor who will treat a Jack-and-Jill bath like it’s part of a lived-in home, not a job site. That means quiet tools during nap hours where possible, pet-safe product choices where available, and a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves, every single time. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Dallas-Fort Worth office; crews serve Southlake locally, and our teams know the streets from Continental Boulevard up to North Carroll Avenue without needing to guess the route.

Bathroom Renovation in Southlake
Bathroom Renovation in Southlake means working inside a city where the residential design standards are stricter than almost anywhere else in Tarrant County. A renovation here often involves moving plumbing lines through walls that were framed decades ago, matching new tile to a home’s original stone aesthetic, and coordinating with the city’s separate windstorm inspection sign-off when any exterior wall or roof penetration is modified. Southlake homeowners call us when a bathroom has stopped functioning for the way the family actually lives: a shower a teenager has outgrown, a tub that hasn’t been used in five years, a vanity that’s too low for someone who is six-foot-four. A full bathroom renovation in Southlake runs $9,000 – $28,000, and the written price we give before any work starts includes the permit, the wind-load calculations where they apply, the materials, the labor, and the clean-up. Nothing is left out of scope to make a quote look good.
Walk-In Showers and Shower Remodeling
A walk-in shower installation in Southlake runs $4,500 – $12,000. The most common reason we replace a tub with a walk-in shower is simple: the homeowner wants easier access without losing the look of the bathroom. In Southlake, that often means a frameless glass enclosure, a Schluter waterproofing system, and a bench built into the wall. We use Kohler fixtures where the design calls for them, and we can name every brand on the quote so the homeowner can verify the manufacturer’s warranty on their own.
Vanities, Tile, and Fixtures
Vanity replacement alone in Southlake costs $800 – $3,000, but most homeowners bundle it with a full tile and fixture update. The homes we work in tend to have generous bathroom footprints, so a double vanity with a Cambria or Silestone countertop is a common ask. When we replace a vanity, the old one is removed without damaging the baseboards, and the new one is installed level on floors that may have settled slightly over the years in North Texas clay soil.
Small Bathroom Remodel in Southlake
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Southlake typically runs $5,000 – $12,000, and it’s the job we do most often in powder rooms, secondary bathrooms, and the half-baths near the home’s back entry. These are usually 30 to 60 square feet, which means every inch of layout matters: where the door swings, how far the toilet sits from the shower glass, whether a pedestal sink or a compact vanity makes the room feel bigger. Southlake homes built since the 1980s often have secondary bathrooms tucked into a hallway or near a game room, and the original layout rarely matches how a family with children actually uses the space. We quote the full price before any work starts, and that price includes moving a wall if the plan calls for it, so a small remodel doesn’t become a surprise.
Powder Room Updates
The powder room is the bathroom Southlake guests actually see, so it’s the one where the homeowner cares most about details: the lighting, the mirror, the fixture finishes. We recommend Moen or Grohe faucets because their finishes hold up in the humid North Texas summers, and because their warranties are the kind a homeowner can actually call on.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
A tub-to-shower conversion in Southlake costs $3,500 – $10,000. When we do this work, the drain gets moved only if the slab allows it, and we check for the expansive clay soil movement that can shift the subfloor over time. The waterproofing goes in before the tile goes on, and the wall cap for the vent gets inspected before we close it up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Southlake
Southlake homeowners like to research what they’re paying for, so we don’t hide the names. Our bathroom projects use cabinets from KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertops from Cambria and Silestone, fixtures from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe, and waterproofing from Schluter. We keep a local stock of common trim pieces, cartridges, and sealing components for Southlake jobs, which means a missing flange or a wrong-color grout doesn’t stall your project for a week. When a manufacturer’s warranty travels with the finished project, we want the homeowner to have that paperwork on file with their mortgage and insurance documents. That’s the point of using named brands: you can verify them yourself.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Southlake Homes
- Wind-load sign-off gets skipped by a low-bid contractor. Southlake requires a separate windstorm inspection when an exterior wall, roof penetration, or load-bearing member is modified. A contractor who doesn’t include that $1,200 – $1,800 storm-rated exhaust and flashing package in the quote will hit the homeowner with a change order after the city rejects rough-in.
- Standard interior waterproofing fails on expansive clay soil. North Texas clay shrinks and swells with moisture variation, and if the shower pan or tile backer is installed on a substrate that has shifted even a quarter inch, the tile cracks and the manufacturer voids the warranty. We account for that before the first tile is set.
- The HOA architectural review gets ignored until it’s too late. An exterior vent change in a Southlake subdivision often requires HOA approval before the city will even process the permit. If the work is already done when the HOA asks to see the flashing, the homeowner is looking at a stop-work order, a fine, and a re-do.
- Quotes leave out the protection plan. We hear from Southlake families who paid for a remodel and spent the next month cleaning drywall dust out of the vents. Every Elmstead job includes shoe covers, drop cloths, quiet tools during rest hours where possible, and a photo of the clean-up before the crew leaves. It’s on the quote, not a favor.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Southlake
Only if the work modifies an exterior wall, roof penetration, or load-bearing member. Replacing a tub with a walk-in shower inside the existing footprint usually does not trigger the windstorm sign-off. However, if you’re relocating or adding an exhaust fan duct that penetrates an exterior wall, the city will require the separate windstorm inspection and the storm-rated wall cap and flashing. Call (682) 708-9180 and we’ll tell you exactly which step applies to your bathroom, before you spend a dollar.
Tarrant County code requires 110 mph wind-load uplift standards for any exterior wall penetration, including a bathroom exhaust fan termination. The wall cap needs a storm collar and a flashing rating that matches the exposure of your specific wall. If the original duct is standard 4-inch aluminum without the rated termination, it won’t pass Southlake inspection. We include the correct package in the written quote, so there’s no change order after rough-in.
Many Southlake subdivisions require architectural review before the city will process a permit for any exterior change, such as a new exhaust vent or a window in the shower wall. The review can add one to three weeks to the timeline, and doing the work before approval can trigger a stop-work order and a fine. We handle the HOA submission as part of the project, and we won’t schedule the rough-in until the review clears.
Because Southlake’s permit and inspection steps are different. The city requires a separate windstorm inspection sign-off when exterior walls or roof penetrations are modified, and that means a storm-rated exhaust and flashing package, plus the inspection scheduling, plus the time to keep the wall open until the inspector signs off. A quote from a neighboring city often leaves those steps out entirely, then charges for them later as a change order. Our price includes them from the start, so the quote you sign is the price you pay.
Your insurance carrier wants proof that any exterior modification was built to the wind-load standard your policy requires. If you move an exhaust vent and the flashing and storm collar aren’t rated correctly, a later hail or wind claim can be denied because the work wasn’t compliant. When we finish a Southlake bathroom remodel that touches an exterior wall, we hand you the inspection sign-off and product documentation for your file. That’s what documented compliance actually means, and it’s part of the job.
