Trusted Bathroom Remodeling for Miami Homeowners
Bathroom remodeling in Miami typically runs between $10,620 and $33,040, depending on the size of the space, the fixtures you choose, and whether you’re moving plumbing or keeping the existing layout. Most full bathroom remodels in the Miami area take two to four weeks once we start, with smaller showers and tub-to-shower conversions finishing faster. Penhallow Remodeling Miami, led by Trevor Nash, puts a written price in your hand before any tile comes up, and every job carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Call (850) 988-7559 for a free estimate and a number you can hold us to.
We work in Dade County houses where humidity is the quiet enemy: mold behind old drywall, grout that never fully dries, vanities swelling at the base. A bathroom built for Michigan winters fails differently than one built for Miami summers, and we plan for that. From our home page you can see the full scope of what we handle, but if you’re in the middle of planning, the details below will tell you exactly what a remodel costs and what we do before, during, and after the work.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor is the licensed general contractor who pulls permits, coordinates the plumber and electrician, orders materials, and is responsible for the final result, not just a piece of it. You need one when the job involves anything beyond swapping a faucet: moving a wall, relocating a toilet, replacing a shower pan, or reworking wiring for new lighting. Penhallow Remodeling Miami handles the whole job as one contract, one schedule, and one written price, with Trevor Nash on site or on the phone at every phase.
Scope We Handle
We do full gut-and-rebuild bathrooms, which means demo to the studs, new cement board substrate behind all wet walls, new plumbing rough-in, new electrical, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finish trim. We also do partial remodels where the layout stays and you’re replacing the shower, vanity, toilet, and flooring. Either way, you get one price for the whole job before we start.
What It Costs
A full bathroom remodel with Penhallow Remodeling Miami runs $10,620 to $33,040. The number moves with square footage, whether we’re moving the toilet or shower drain, and the fixture line you pick. A small bathroom remodel typically lands between $5,900 and $14,160.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower
A Walk In Shower is a curbless or low-curb shower without a tub, designed so you step directly onto the shower floor without lifting your feet over a high threshold. It’s the right choice when you want easier access, a more open feel in a small bathroom, or you’re planning to age in place. Penhallow Remodeling Miami builds walk-in showers with Schluter waterproofing membrane under the tile, a properly sloped mud bed, and glass or tile walls depending on your preference.
Waterproofing That Holds Up
In Miami’s humidity, an improperly waterproofed walk-in shower will fail within a year or two. We use Schluter Kerdi membrane on the walls and floor before any tile is set, which means water never reaches the wood framing. That’s the difference between a shower that lasts twenty years and one that rots from the inside.
Pricing and Timeline
Walk-in shower installation runs $5,310 to $14,160, depending on the size, glass enclosure, and whether we’re moving the drain. A standard walk-in shower with a Schluter pan and tile walls typically takes five to seven working days, with the curbless versions running a day or two longer because of the floor prep.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Miami range from one-truck operations to national franchises, and they do not all answer to the same standard. What separates them is whether the price you’re quoted on day one is the price you pay on the final invoice, and whether the company will come back six months later if something fails. Penhallow Remodeling Miami operates under The Kingswell Way, which has required a written price before work starts and a written guarantee on every job since 2004.
How We’re Different
Every project from Penhallow Remodeling Miami includes a written price before demo day, a defined arrival window, and background-checked, uniformed technicians who show up when they said they would. The 365-Day Done Right Promise says if anything fails inside a year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Bathroom Renovation vs. Remodel
People use Bathroom Remodeling in Miami and bathroom renovation interchangeably, but a renovation usually means updating the finishes while a remodel changes the structure or layout. Whatever you call it, the cost range here is the same: $10,620 to $33,040 for a typical full bathroom. We’ll write you a line-item quote so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
Bathroom Renovation
Bathroom Renovation means refreshing an existing bathroom without necessarily moving walls: new tile, new vanity, new fixtures, new lighting, new paint, and often a new shower or tub. You need it when the room works functionally but looks worn, or when you’re selling and the old bathroom is dragging down the value. Penhallow Remodeling Miami handles renovations from cosmetic updates to full interior rebuilds, and in Brownsville we see a steady mix of both.
What We Replace Most Often
The most common items in a Miami bathroom renovation are the vanity, the shower surround, the toilet, and the floor tile. We usually recommend replacing the exhaust fan at the same time, because older Miami bathrooms are chronically under-ventilated and that’s what feeds the mold problem.
Cost Drivers
A bathroom renovation runs $10,620 to $33,040, with the big swings coming from tile choice, vanity construction, and whether the existing plumbing is sound or needs replacement. In older Miami homes, galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drain pipes often need to come out, which adds cost but prevents a leak six months after you finish.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A Small Bathroom Remodel is a full remodel of a bathroom typically under 50 square feet, like a guest bath, a condo bathroom, or a hall bath in a 1950s Miami ranch. The challenge is fitting everything you need into a tight space, and the upside is the price. Small bathroom remodels in Miami run $5,900 to $14,160 with Penhallow Remodeling Miami, and most wrap up in one to two weeks.
Space-Saving Fixtures
For small bathrooms we recommend compact toilets like the Toto Drake or American Standard Cadet, which have a shorter projection from the wall and free up precious inches. A walk-in shower with a Schluter linear drain can eliminate the curb entirely, which makes a 40-square-foot bathroom feel noticeably larger.
What We See in Older Miami Homes
In neighborhoods like Hialeah and Westchester, small bathrooms often were built with the toilet facing the door and the sink outside the room. Moving just one fixture can transform the usability of the space. We’ll tell you honestly if a layout change is worth the plumbing cost or if you’re better off keeping the footprint and spending on better finishes.
Shower Remodel
A Shower Remodel is a replacement of the existing shower without touching the rest of the bathroom: new pan, new tile, new valve, new showerhead, and often a new glass enclosure. You need it when the tile is cracked, the grout is failing, the pan leaks into the ceiling below, or you’re just tired of looking at the old alcove. Shower replacement with Penhallow Remodeling Miami runs $3,540 to $10,030, and a shower remodel usually takes three to five working days.
Behind the Tile
The most common failure we fix in Miami showers is rotten drywall or green board behind the original tile. Builders used it for decades, and it turns to mush in a humid climate. We strip to the studs and rebuild with cement board and a Schluter waterproofing membrane, which carries its own warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Valve and Fixture Upgrades
While the wall is open, we recommend replacing the shower valve even if it still works. Delta and Moen pressure-balancing valves are inexpensive insurance against a scalding surprise when someone flushes a toilet. We install Delta, Moen, Kohler, and Toto fixtures, and we stock most common parts.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A Tub to Shower Conversion is the removal of an existing bathtub and the construction of a walk-in shower in the same footprint. It’s the right move when nobody in the house uses the tub, when climbing over the tub wall is getting difficult, or when you want a more modern look without expanding the bathroom. Penhallow Remodeling Miami does tub-to-shower conversions for $4,130 to $11,800, depending on the tile, glass, and whether the drain needs to be moved from a tub position to a shower position.
Drain and Slope Work
The crux of a tub-to-shower conversion is the drain. A tub drain is usually 1 1/2 inches, and a shower needs a 2-inch drain by code in Miami-Dade. We cut into the slab or subfloor, replace the trap and riser, and repitch the floor to drain properly. Skip that step and the shower will pool water and smell like a drain forever.
What You Gain
Beyond easier access, a tub-to-shower conversion typically frees up eight to twelve inches of visual floor space because there’s no tub wall. In a small Miami condo bathroom, that’s the difference between a room that feels cramped and one that feels open. We install American Standard and Toto shower bases when a tile pan isn’t in the budget.
One Day Bath Remodel
A One Day Bath Remodel through Penhallow Remodeling Miami means a surface-level refresh that can be completed in a single day: a new acrylic or solid-surface shower surround installed over a sound substrate, a new vanity top, a new toilet, new hardware, and new trim. It’s not a full gut remodel. Full bathroom remodels in Miami take two to four weeks because of waterproofing, plumbing, and tile setting time. But if your bathroom is structurally sound and you want a quick update, a one day bath remodel runs $4,130 to $11,800 depending on the suite you choose.
When It Works
A one day bath remodel works when the framing, plumbing, and floor structure are in good shape and you’re updating surfaces, not fixing water damage. We won’t sell you a one day surround if there’s rot behind the wall. We’ll open a small inspection hole first and show you what’s back there before we quote anything.
When You Need More Time
If the substrate is compromised, the drain is leaking, or you want tile instead of a solid surround, the one day timeline doesn’t apply and you’re looking at a full shower remodel or bathroom remodel. We’d rather tell you that on the front end than have a one day job turn into a three week surprise.

AfterBrands We Service
We install Delta shower valves, trim, and rainfall heads on most of our shower remodels in Miami because they’re reliable, parts are widely available, and the pressure-balancing cartridges hold up to hard water. Delta’s rough-in valves also make future trim changes easy without opening the wall again. For toilets, we recommend Toto and American Standard, and we’ve installed hundreds of both across Dade County, including the Toto Drake in small bathrooms where space is tight and the American Standard Cadet in older homes with rougher water conditions.
For waterproofing, we use Schluter Systems products almost exclusively on tiled showers. The Kerdi membrane and drain assemblies are the standard for a reason: they handle Miami humidity without trapping moisture, and Schluter stands behind them with a written warranty. Whether you have a brand preference or you want us to spec the fixtures based on what lasts in Miami’s climate, we can help. We don’t push one brand over another; we push what we’d put in our own homes.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. This means the shower pan or drain is leaking and water has already traveled through the floor assembly. The longer it goes, the more framing gets damaged, and what starts as a $4,000 shower repair becomes a $15,000 structural fix.
- Musty smell that doesn’t go away. A persistent musty odor in a Miami bathroom almost always means mold is growing inside the wall cavity or under the floor. Fresh paint and caulk won’t fix it; the wet material has to come out and the waterproofing has to be redone.
- Tiles that sound hollow when tapped. Hollow-sounding tile means the thinset bond has failed and water is getting behind the tile. In a humid climate, this accelerates quickly, and the eventual tile pop is just the visible symptom of a bigger moisture problem.
- Grout that keeps cracking or falling out. Grout cracking along the shower floor or wall intersections means the substrate is moving or water is getting behind the tile. Re-caulking over the top just traps the moisture inside and makes the damage worse.
- Floor feels soft or spongy near the toilet or tub. A soft spot in the subfloor means water has been soaking the plywood for months or years. This is a safety issue as much as a cosmetic one, and it will not dry out on its own. The affected section needs to be cut out and replaced before new flooring goes down.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Written estimate, in person. Trevor Nash or one of our project leads walks the bathroom with you, checks the subfloor, the plumbing, the electrical, and the venting. You get a written, line-item price before any work starts, not a verbal ballpark that changes later.
- 2
Permits and ordering. We pull the permits in Miami-Dade, schedule inspections, and order all materials from the fixture brands you chose. A defined arrival window is set for demo day, and we show up inside it.
- 3
Demo and rough-in. We protect the rest of your house, remove the old surfaces to the studs, and rough in the plumbing and electrical. Any hidden damage we find affects the price only if it’s outside the original scope, and we show you photos before we do anything extra.
- 4
Waterproofing and tile. Cement board and Schluter membrane go in, then the tile. This is the phase where shortcuts happen on cheap jobs; we let the waterproofing cure properly before tile is set, which is why our timelines are honest and our showers don’t leak.
- 5
Finish and walkthrough. Fixtures, vanity, glass, paint, and trim. We clean the job site daily and leave it cleaner than we found it. Then we walk through the finished bathroom with you, explain the written guarantee, and hand you the paperwork. If anything fails inside a year, the 365-Day Done Right Promise brings us back at no charge.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Miami?
A typical bathroom remodel in Miami runs $10,620 to $33,040, and the spread is driven by a handful of factors. A small guest bath with a stock vanity, basic tile, and a standard shower usually lands between $5,900 and $14,160. A walk-in shower alone runs $5,310 to $14,160 when it’s built with Schluter waterproofing and a tile pan. A tub to shower conversion runs $4,130 to $11,800, and a shower replacement runs $3,540 to $10,030 when the surrounding structure is sound.
The biggest cost drivers are whether we’re moving plumbing, the tile and countertop material you select, and the condition of the existing subfloor and framing. In Miami’s older neighborhoods like Westchester, Kendale Lakes, and The Crossings, we regularly find cast-iron drain lines and rotten subfloors that have to be addressed before the new bathroom goes in. That’s not a surprise change order; that’s what the written estimate accounts for once we’ve inspected. A free estimate includes the inspection, the measurements, the material options, and a written number you can hold us to. The best way to avoid overpaying is to work with a contractor who won’t bury unknowns in a vague “allowance” line. We don’t use allowances. We give you real numbers from real material pricing.
