Bathroom Remodeling Los Angeles
Your Daily Routine, Completely Reimagined.
The best bathrooms in Los Angeles don't announce themselves. Floor to ceiling marble, a frameless glass shower with no curb to step over, heated stone underfoot on a cold morning, a backlit vanity that gives off soft light instead of glare. You feel the room before you can name what's working. That's the whole point: a space that resets you at the start and end of every day. Here's what most homeowners never get told. A bathroom lives or dies behind the tile, not on it. Waterproofing is the one place cheap bids quietly cut corners, because nobody sees it once the walls close up. Rush it and you get mold, rot, and a shower pan that fails early. Do it properly and the room still looks new years later. Our tile and waterproofing crew is in-house. Depending on the shower, we build the pan with a traditional hot-mop or a Schluter Kerdi membrane, we flood-test it before a single tile goes down, and only then do we set large-format porcelain, natural marble slab, handmade tile, or mosaic over a substrate that's actually sealed. Linear drains, curbless entries, integrated niches, and bench seating are standard the way we build them. Most of the homes we work in on the Westside and over the hill were put up long before current plumbing code, and it shows behind the walls: galvanized supply lines narrowed down to a straw, cast iron waste lines near the end of their life. When we have a wall open, we replace that old pipe while it's easy to reach, instead of tiling over a problem that would cost far more to get to later. That's the honest call, and we make it every time. From there it's finish work. Electric radiant heat under the stone floor on a programmable thermostat. Custom vanities in painted wood, walnut, or stone with the outlets and drawer inserts built in. When a room calls for it, Leo's finish crew hand-applies a Roman clay ceiling. Every fixture, every mitered corner, every grout line gets checked before we call it done. All of it runs under one project manager, from the first design conversation to the final walkthrough. Our plumbing, tile, electrical, waterproofing, and finish work are in-house crews and trusted trade partners held to a single standard, not a rotating cast of strangers you've never met. Take a primary bath in an older Westside home, floor to ceiling marble slab and a curbless glass shower. The minute we open the wet wall we usually find corroded galvanized supply and a cast iron drain, both of which we swap out on the spot. Schluter membrane, flood-tested, marble slab walls with the veining matched at the corners, heated floor, backlit vanity. It reads like a spa, and it's built to stay one. We handle bathroom remodeling in Los Angeles the way it should be done, from Beverly Hills and Brentwood to Bel Air, Santa Monica, Los Feliz, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and the greater LA area. Come walk us through the room you have. We'll tell you straight what it needs behind the walls and what it will take to turn it into the one you look forward to.

What makes Los Angeles bathroom remodels different
Bathroom remodels in Los Angeles aren't generic. The Westside is full of homes built between the 1940s and 1970s with copper or galvanized supply lines, lead drains, and tile assemblies set straight on plywood. Once we open a wall in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, or Hancock Park, we're routinely repairing rough-in plumbing that hasn't been touched in fifty years and bringing the assembly up to current code.
Hillside properties in the Palisades, the Hollywood Hills, Bel Air, and Studio City add a second layer: drainage, vapor handling, and waterproofing matter more than they would on flat lots. We treat substrate, slope to drain, and curbless transitions as engineering decisions, not finish decisions.
Permits are their own variable. LADBS over-the-counter approvals are fast for like-for-like fixture replacement, but layout changes, structural modifications, or work in HPOZ neighborhoods (Hancock Park, Carthay, Country Club Park) can extend plan-check by weeks. We sequence submittals, plumbing rough-in, and finish trades around that timeline so a homeowner is not paying skilled labor to wait for a sticker.
Material lead times are the last LA-specific issue. Imported stone slabs, custom glass, and made-to-order vanities frequently run 8 – 14 weeks. We lock selections before demo so the project does not lose momentum at the finish stage.

What We Build Into Every Bathroom Remodel
A proven approach that keeps your project on track.
Master Bathroom Renovations
The primary bath is the one you use every day, so it's the one worth getting right. We lay it out around how you actually move through the room, then build it with large-format stone, a heated floor, a custom double vanity, and either a steam shower or a soaking tub depending on what you want out of the space. No template. We tune the plan to the real proportions of your bathroom, not a stock layout.
Walk In Shower Design & Installation
A frameless glass walk-in is the most requested shower we build in Los Angeles, and it's also where waterproofing matters most. We set the pan with a hot-mop or Schluter membrane and flood-test it before any tile goes on. From there our tile crew builds the enclosure with a linear drain, integrated niches, and a bench, in anything from subway tile to full marble slab walls. Get the waterproofing right and the glass box on top lasts.
Freestanding Soaking Tubs
A freestanding tub looks simple and isn't. It needs the plumbing roughed in to the exact spot, the floor reinforced to carry the weight of the tub full of water, and placement that works with the natural light in the room. Our plumbers handle the rough-in, and the finish crew makes sure the tile and stone around it work with the tub you picked instead of fighting it.
Custom Vanities & Backlit Mirrors
Off-the-shelf vanities cap how good a bathroom can look. We build ours to fit the wall you have, in painted wood, walnut, or stone, with the outlets hidden inside, drawer inserts that actually organize, and a backlit or LED mirror sized to the vanity. It's the difference between a bathroom that looks assembled and one that looks built for the room.
Bathroom Tile Floor to Ceiling
Our tile crew works the full bathroom envelope in large-format porcelain, natural marble slab, handmade tile, mosaic, and stone. When it's slab, our stone fabricators cut and template it so the seams fall where you won't notice them and the corners miter clean. Floor to ceiling stone is one of the most demanding installs in the house, and it's one we do a lot of.
Plumbing, Electrical & Waterproofing
Our plumbers, electricians, and waterproofing crew are on staff, not subcontracted out to whoever's free that week. That's what keeps the wet work tight: the same people who waterproof the shower are the ones who set the plumbing and wire the heated floor, so nothing falls through the gap between trades. It also means no gaps in the warranty and one point of accountability if anything ever needs attention.
What Drives Bathroom Remodel Cost in Los Angeles
The tier table above answers the headline question. This section answers the next one: what each line item runs, what each budget tier actually delivers, and why LA pricing diverges from national averages. The same scope can swing $25K depending on layout changes, finish level, and the age of the home.
Where the budget goes
- Demolition, debris haul, and protection$2K – $5K
- Plumbing, rough-in, fixtures, valves$3K – $12K
- Electrical, lighting, ventilation$2K – $8K
- Waterproofing and substrate prep$1.5K – $5K
- Tile and stone, material and install$5K – $30K+
- Custom or semi-custom vanity$3K – $18K+
- Glass enclosure (frameless / steel-frame)$2K – $8K+
- Hardware, mirrors, accessories$1K – $4K+
- General conditions, supervision, project management10 – 15% of trade cost
What each tier looks like
Guest-bath refresh
Like-for-like fixture replacement, mid-range tile, semi-custom vanity, recessed lighting and exhaust upgrade, fresh paint and waterproofing. No layout changes. Permit-light, often 4 – 6 weeks of construction.
Primary-bath remodel
New layout option, frameless glass shower, heated tile floor, large-format porcelain or mid-tier stone, quartz or stone counter on a custom vanity, niches and curb detailed with proper waterproofing, full electrical and plumbing rough-in. Typically 8 – 12 weeks.
Luxury bathroom
Marble slab walls, book-matched stone, steel-frame glass, statement freestanding tub, integrated lighting, plaster or specialty finish on the ceiling, towel warmer, programmable shower system, smart mirror, and structural changes if needed. Plan-check + long-lead materials push the schedule to 14 – 20 weeks.
Why Los Angeles costs run above national averages
- LA labor rates run 25 – 40% above the national average; skilled tile, glass, and stone trades are at the high end of that range.
- Permitting and inspections take real time. LADBS plan check, hillside ordinances, and HPOZ review can each add weeks to the schedule.
- Mid-century plumbing and framing surprises are common in pre-1980 homes; we carry contingency for opening walls in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Hancock Park, and the Hills.
- Material delivery is harder in LA, narrow streets, limited staging, and hillside access regularly require dedicated unloading windows and longer install days.

How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Los Angeles?
We believe in transparency. Most competitors hide their pricing we don't.
- Powder or guest refresh$10K – $30K
- Full bathroom renovation$22K – $45K
- Primary spa suite$50K+
What drives final cost
Waterproofing system, tile and stone selections, custom vanities, glass, plumbing fixtures, electrical and lighting, ventilation, structural changes, permit requirements, and occupied-home phasing all influence final cost.
How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take?
Most bathroom remodels run 8–14 weeks of active construction after permits are issued. Add 3–6 weeks for design, selections, and permit submission. Hillside lots, HPOZ neighborhoods, and complex plumbing reconfigurations may add time to the permitting phase.

Powder and guest baths start around $10,000; primary spa suites run $50,000 and up depending on stone selections, glass, and structural scope.

Bathroom Remodeling in Los Angeles Frequently Asked Questions
A standard bathroom runs 4–8 weeks. A full primary bath with marble slab walls and custom cabinetry runs 8–12 weeks. The variable is almost never the tile, it's the stuff behind the wall: if we open it up and find old plumbing that has to be re-piped, or the waterproofing needs to fully cure and get flood-tested before tile, that's time you don't want us to rush. We give you a real schedule up front and tell you where the long poles are.
Yes, and it's one of our favorite things to build. Full marble slab walls skip the grid of grout lines you get with tile, so you get one continuous run of stone and veining instead. Fewer grout lines also means less to keep clean. We do the whole thing in-house: slab selection at the yard, templating, fabrication, and installation, with the veining matched at the corners so it reads as one piece.
Yes. Electric radiant heat under the floor is a standard option, and in a stone bathroom it's the detail people end up loving most. It goes in as a mat under the tile or slab, runs on its own programmable thermostat, and costs very little to run since you only heat the floor when you want it warm. Set it to come on before you're up and the stone is warm by the time your feet hit it.
Depending on the shower, either a traditional hot-mop pan or a Schluter Kerdi membrane. Both work when they're installed right, and the install is the whole game. We flood-test every pan before a single tile goes on, so we know it holds water before we close it up. This is the part cheap bids skip or rush, because you can't see it once it's tiled, and it's the number one reason showers fail. We don't cut it.
A powder or guest refresh typically runs $10K – $30K, a full bathroom renovation $22K – $45K, and a primary spa suite $50K and up. Tile, stone, glass, custom vanities, and waterproofing are the largest cost levers.
We use code-compliant sheet or liquid-applied membranes appropriate to the assembly, Schluter Kerdi, Laticrete Hydro Ban, or equivalent, installed and tested before tile work begins. Wet-area details are inspected at every transition.
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are common in primary bathrooms. We re-plan plumbing and waterproofing, address framing and drainage, and detail the curb, niches, glass, and bench during design.
Yes. We coordinate tile-setting, glass measurement and install, plumbing rough-in and trim, electrical and lighting, ventilation, and custom or semi-custom vanity work as a single scope.
Layout changes that move plumbing, structural framing modifications, premium tile and stone, glass enclosures, custom vanities, heated floors, ventilation upgrades, and occupied-home phasing are the most common drivers.
