West Perrine’s homes hide things behind those original tile walls. We know this because we open them regularly. Cast-iron drains rusted through at the bend, galvanized supply lines corroded to a trickle, subfloor rot under a tub pan nobody has seen since Lyndon Johnson was in office. Our crews schedule work in West Perrine every week, and we show up with a written scope, a live arrival time, and photos of what we find before we touch a fitting.
Why Sawyer Remodeling Is West Perrine’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Luca Romano runs our Bathroom Remodeling work, and he’s the one who insists every West Perrine job starts with a rough-in inspection of what’s behind the tile. No assumptions. Most contractors quote the pretty stuff. We quote the plumbing, the pan, the valve, and the permit, because in West Perrine the rough-in is usually where the real money goes.
That’s why homeowners around Palmetto Golf Course, along US-1, and up toward Perrine call us back when they do a second bathroom. The written price covers what we can see. The written change order covers what we find. You approve the number before we spend it. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every install for a full year after we close the job.
Styles & brands we work with
Tub to Shower Conversion in West Perrine
A tub to shower conversion in West Perrine means pulling a 1950s or 60s built-in tub, inspecting the drain and supply lines behind it, and setting a walk-in shower base with a new valve and drain rough-in, typically $3,500 – $10,000 depending on what’s hiding in the wall. We’ve done enough of these in concrete-block ranch homes to know that the original cast-iron closet bend is often the first thing to fail. The conversion isn’t just a swap. It’s a chance to bring the rough-in up to current code with a permit and inspection sign-off.
Permitted Rough-In Inspection
Most West Perrine tub-to-shower jobs need a plumbing permit for the new shower valve and drain. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and pass it before the tile goes up. Skipping this step saves a few hundred dollars now and creates a headache at resale when an inspector flags unpermitted work.
Low-Threshold Entry and Grab Bars
If you’re planning to age in place or just want a shower you can walk into without stepping over a tub wall, we build low-threshold bases and block the walls for grab bars. In West Perrine’s ranch homes, where a hallway bath is the only full bath, this conversion is often the highest-return remodel per dollar.
One Day Bath Remodel in West Perrine
A one day bath remodel in West Perrine is a scoped, pre-built renovation focused on the tub or shower surround, valve, and trim, not a full gut, and it runs on the lower end of the $3,500 – $10,000 tub-to-shower range when the existing drain and supply are sound. We pre-cut, pre-fit, and stage everything before the crew arrives. The day starts with drop cloths and a written sequence. It ends with a functioning shower and a photo update in your inbox.
What Gets Replaced
The old tub or shower pan, the surround, the valve trim, and usually the shower head and drain cover. The tile or acrylic surround goes up the same day. What doesn’t happen in one day: moving walls, relocating the drain, or repairing structural rot. If we find that, the one day becomes a scoped change order, not a surprise.
Sakrete Bedding and Base Prep
When a West Perrine slab or wood subfloor under an old tub pan needs leveling, we use Sakrete bedding mix to set the new base properly. A shower base that shifts or squeaks is usually a sign someone skipped this step. We don’t skip it. The base gets set, bedded, and checked before the surround goes in.
Trusted Brands We Service in West Perrine
We stock trim kits, valves, and common replacement parts from Kohler, Moen, and Signature Hardware in our local supply chain, which means West Perrine customers aren’t waiting two weeks for a valve cartridge when a remodel is mid-flight. Countertop choices for West Perrine vanities include Silestone and Caesarstone, and we work with Dvele and Cover on prefab shower and bath components when a homeowner wants faster install and tighter tolerances. The point is this: you pick from brands with manufacturer backing, not whatever is on clearance at the supply house.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in West Perrine Homes
- Rusted cast-iron drains behind original tile. The 1950s and 60s closets, bends, and traps common in West Perrine’s concrete-block ranches are past their service life. A remodel that doesn’t plan for drain replacement is quoting the wrong job.
- Galvanized supply lines corroded inside the wall. The pipes may look fine at the shut-off valve, but inside they can be choked to a pencil-width opening. Replacing them is often the difference between a shower that dribbles and one that rinses.
- Unpermitted prior work. We see plenty of West Perrine bathrooms where someone swapped a tub for a shower without pulling a permit. The next remodel then has to bring the whole rough-in to code before anything else can happen.
- Rotted subfloor under the tub pan. Slow leaks over decades rot the plywood or flooring under the tub. If your tile grout is cracking along the tub line, that’s usually the cause. The fix is scoped, photographed, and priced before we proceed.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in West Perrine, FL
A full bathroom remodel in West Perrine runs $9,000 – $28,000. A small bathroom remodel lands between $5,000 and $12,000. A walk-in shower installation is $4,500 – $12,000, and a vanity replacement alone runs $800 – $3,000. The spread comes down to what’s behind the tile: cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines cost more to replace than modern PEX and PVC. Tile, fixture, and vanity allowances are the second driver.
