Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Our most requested upgrade. We pull the old tub, rework the drain and waterproofing, and build a walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile — finished with a glass enclosure or clean open entry.
From Hyde Park bungalows to Bayshore condos, we remodel South Tampa bathrooms — tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in showers, and vanities that fit small footprints.

From hall-bath refreshes to master-bath transformations — every trade handled.
Our most requested upgrade. We pull the old tub, rework the drain and waterproofing, and build a walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile — finished with a glass enclosure or clean open entry.
Curbed or curbless, with proper slope, waterproofing behind every tile, and niches where you actually reach them. Built to drain right and never leak — that's the whole job.
Shower walls, tub surrounds, and bathroom floors in porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone — set straight, grouted clean, and sealed against Florida humidity.
New vanities with quartz or granite tops, proper plumbing connections, and storage that fits the room. Single or double sinks, sized to how you actually use the space.
Frameless and semi-frameless glass shower enclosures — measured after tile, installed plumb, and sealed so water stays where it belongs.
Comfort-height toilets, new faucets, shower valves and heads, towel bars, and hardware — quality fixtures installed right, with shutoffs you can reach.
Vanity lighting that actually lights your face, GFCI protection where code requires it, and bath fans sized to clear Florida humidity — vented outside, not into the attic.
Curbless showers, anchored grab bars, handheld wands, and comfort-height fixtures — safety upgrades that look like design choices, not hospital equipment.
South Tampa is bungalow country — 1920s to 1950s homes in Hyde Park, Palma Ceia, Bayshore Gardens, Virginia Park, and Sunset Park, many of them beautifully kept and many of them with bathrooms that were built for a different era: small, closed off, with a tub/shower combo and a vanity that fits one person at a time. The most common job we do here is turning those bathrooms into walk-in showers — taking the tub out, tiling floor to ceiling, and giving a small bathroom room to breathe.
At the other end of the neighborhood, South Tampa also has some of the area's most ambitious bathroom remodels — full master-bath guts with custom vanities, frameless glass, and stone throughout. Either way, the work is the same: careful demo around plaster and old framing, licensed trades for electrical and plumbing, and a finished bathroom that suits the house, not a showroom.
Bayshore Boulevard, the Palma Ceia golf course, the shops on South Howard — South Tampa is a tight-knit part of town, and most of our work here comes from neighbors seeing a finished bathroom down the street. We keep the job site clean and the schedule honest, because your neighbors are watching.
Real bathrooms we've built across Tampa Bay — including homes in South Tampa.
Freestanding tub, new white vanity, and modern fixtures — bright, clean, and built to last.
Marble-look tile, mosaic accent band, and a built-in niche — the everyday bathroom, done right.
White double vanity with quartz-look tops and LED mirrors — storage and light where you need them.
A straight process, no guesswork.
We come out, look at your bathroom, talk through what you want, and measure. You get a detailed written estimate — line by line, no vague allowances.
Tile, vanity, countertop, fixtures, paint — we narrow it to choices that work together and fit your budget, and tell you straight what holds up in a steamy Florida bathroom.
We pull the permits and sequence the trades — demo, plumbing, electrical, tile, finishes — with no dead days. If it's your only bathroom, we plan around that.
Waterproofing done right behind the tile, finishes installed clean, daily cleanup. We walk it with you at the end and fix anything that isn't perfect.

It depends on the size of the bathroom, the tile and fixture choices, and how much plumbing moves. A hall-bath refresh costs far less than a master bath gut with a walk-in shower and relocated plumbing. We work with a wide range of budgets — what matters is an honest, detailed written estimate for your South Tampa bathroom, not a guess off a website. Call us and we'll walk through it with you.
A standard full bathroom remodel takes 2 to 4 weeks from demo to done. Master baths with layout changes or custom glass can run a bit longer. We schedule trades back-to-back so there's no dead time — and if you only have one bathroom, we plan the schedule around keeping you functional.
If you have a second bathroom, the remodel barely touches your routine — we seal off the work area and keep the rest of the house clean. If it's your only bathroom, we plan the schedule around keeping you functional: the toilet stays working as long as possible, and we sequence the work so you're never without a bathroom overnight.
Yes. As a Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC 1535379), we pull all required permits and schedule inspections. South Tampa is inside the City of Tampa, in Hillsborough County, so most bathroom remodels go through the city's permitting office. Electrical, plumbing, and structural changes all get permitted properly.
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common projects. We remove the tub, rework the drain and waterproofing, tile the surround floor-to-ceiling, and finish with a glass enclosure or clean open entry. It's the single biggest upgrade for both daily use and resale in Tampa Bay homes.
Porcelain tile is the workhorse — it handles humidity, resists staining, and comes in every look from marble-look to wood-look. For shower floors, smaller mosaic tiles give better grip. We'll steer you toward tile that looks great and doesn't turn into a maintenance headache in Florida's climate.
Usually, yes. Most South Tampa bungalows have a closet or hallway wall next to the bathroom that can move, and a tub-to-shower conversion frees up real floor space. We check the framing and plumbing first, then design around what's structural. A walk-in shower, a floating vanity, and better lighting can make a 40-square-foot bathroom feel like a new room.
Yes. A lot of South Tampa projects call for custom vanities, quartz or natural stone, frameless glass, and high-end fixtures. We source through our suppliers, give you real prices before ordering, and coordinate the licensed trades so the finishes go in right the first time.
