Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown, Texas That Holds Up and Adds Real Value
Bayside Home Builders handles full bathroom remodels across Georgetown and Central Texas, from layout planning through final tile, with honest pricing before any work begins.
bathroom remodeling project · GeorgetownGeorgetown Bathrooms Have a Specific Problem Other Contractors Gloss Over
Central Texas water is hard. Georgetown sits in an area with high mineral content in the water supply, and that does real damage to bathroom surfaces over time.
What you are living with
You are living with calcium and lime deposits etched into your shower glass, grout that started white and is now gray or orange, caulk lines that have separated and allowed moisture behind the tile, and faucet aerators that clog every few months. In homes built before 2000, you may also be dealing with fiberglass surrounds that have flexed enough to crack the gelcoat, which means water is sitting behind the wall whether you can see it or not. A coat of paint or a re-caulk job buys you a season, not a solution.
What you get instead
A proper remodel in a Central Texas bathroom accounts for the water hardness from the start. That means specifying grout and tile combinations that resist mineral buildup, installing frameless or easy-clean glass enclosures, and using solid surface or porcelain vanity tops instead of cultured marble that stains permanently. We also open the walls when there is any sign of moisture intrusion before we put new tile over old problems. That step adds time and occasionally cost, but it is the only way the project holds up in this climate.
Our Recent Work
What a Bathroom Remodel With Us Actually Covers
We handle the full scope in-house, which means one contract, one point of contact, and no finger-pointing between a tile sub and a plumber when something needs to be coordinated.
Demo and Disposal
We tear out the existing fixtures, tile, drywall, and flooring and haul everything off-site. You do not need to rent a dumpster or coordinate a junk crew.
Plumbing Rough-In and Finish
Relocating a drain, adding a second shower head, moving the toilet a few inches to open up the layout. We handle rough-in plumbing as part of the remodel, not as a separate trade you have to schedule yourself.
Tile and Stone Work
Floor tile, shower walls, niches, mud-set shower pans, and custom patterns. We work with porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone. Layouts and grout colors are selected during design, before any ordering happens.
Vanity, Fixtures, and Hardware
New vanity cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, mirrors, and lighting are sourced, scheduled, and installed by our crew. We give you a specific selection deadline so material lead times do not push your project date.
Shower and Tub Installation
Walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, freestanding tubs, and built-in tub surrounds. We waterproof properly behind the walls, not just at the surface, because that is where most bathroom failures actually start.
Drywall, Paint, and Trim
We install moisture-resistant drywall in wet areas, texture to match the rest of your home, and paint the finished space. Door casings, baseboards, and transitions are included so the room looks complete, not like a gut job that got halfway done.
Why Homeowners in Central Texas Choose Bayside
There are a lot of contractors available. Here is what actually separates how we work.
Over 500 Projects Completed
That is not a marketing number. It means we have seen the plumbing surprises, the out-of-square walls, and the discontinued tile that gets discontinued two weeks into your project. We have a process for each of those situations because we have dealt with them before.
Insured and Bonded
We carry general liability insurance and are bonded. Before any work starts, we can provide documentation. If a contractor cannot show you a current certificate of insurance, do not let them into your home.
Fixed-Price Contracts Before Work Starts
We price the job in writing before demo begins. If we open a wall and find something unexpected, we tell you what it costs and get your approval before we proceed. You do not get a surprise invoice at the end.
We Know Central Texas Conditions
Austin's clay soil moves. Humidity is real six months out of the year. We specify materials and waterproofing methods that hold up here, not products rated for a climate that does not match where you live.
How a Remodel Goes From First Call to Finished Room
Four steps. No surprises built into the process on purpose.
Step 1: In-Home Consultation
We come to your house, look at the actual space, and talk through what you want to change and what your budget is. We ask about your timeline and tell you honestly whether it is realistic. No charge for this visit.
Step 2: Scope and Pricing
Based on the consultation, we put together a written scope of work and a fixed price. We walk you through it line by line. If something is out of budget, we tell you what can be adjusted and what cannot before you sign anything.
Step 3: Selections and Scheduling
Once the contract is signed, we give you a selections checklist with deadlines tied to your project start date. Tile, fixtures, and vanities need to be ordered before demo starts. We guide you through that process so nothing holds up your build date.
Step 4: Construction and Walkthrough
Our crew does the work. We give you a schedule at the start so you know what is happening each week. At the end, we do a final walkthrough together. Any punch list items get handled before we consider the job closed.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs
Here is where bathroom remodel budgets actually land for Georgetown homeowners, based on real projects we have completed in Williamson County.
Guest or small bath
A clean, functional refresh of a secondary bathroom.
Master bath
A full remodel of the primary bathroom with quality finishes.
Luxury master
Custom tile, premium fixtures, and a fully reworked layout.
Georgetown permits for bathroom work run through the City of Georgetown Development Services office, and review timelines can add a week or two to your project start date, so we pull permits and schedule inspections before demo day. Older homes in the Sun City and Georgetown historic neighborhoods often have outdated plumbing supply lines or cast-iron drain stacks that need replacing once walls open up, which affects both cost and timeline. We give you a fixed, itemized estimate before any work begins so those variables are accounted for upfront, not billed as surprises at the end.
Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown, Texas
Georgetown sits in Williamson County, one of the fastest-growing counties in the country. That growth means a lot of spec-built homes from the 1990s through the 2010s with builder-grade bathrooms that are showing their age. We serve Georgetown homeowners who are ready to replace what the original builder put in.
Permits & review
Georgetown building permits for bathroom remodels are handled through the City of Georgetown Development Services. A cosmetic refresh, meaning new tile, fixtures, and vanity without moving walls or relocating drain and supply lines, typically does not require a permit. The moment you move a toilet, relocate a shower drain, or touch the electrical panel layout, you need a permit and inspection. We pull permits when the work requires them. Contractors who skip that step leave you with unpermitted work that surfaces during a home sale.
Housing stock
A large portion of Georgetown's housing was built between 1995 and 2015, much of it in master-planned subdivisions like Sun City, Teravista, and Georgetown Village. Builder-grade bathrooms in that era meant cultured marble vanity tops, fiberglass tub-shower combos, and hollow-core cabinet boxes. These materials hold up for a decade or so, then the surfaces crack, the finishes yellow, and the layout starts working against you. Older homes closer to the historic downtown square sometimes have original cast-iron tubs and galvanized supply lines that need evaluation before tile work begins.
Areas we serve
We take on bathroom remodel projects throughout Georgetown and the surrounding Central Texas communities. That includes homes in established neighborhoods near the downtown square and newer construction in the growing northern and eastern corridors of the city. If you are within a reasonable drive of Georgetown, call us and we will tell you straight whether the project makes sense for us to take on.
Common questions
What is a realistic budget for a bathroom remodel in Georgetown, Texas?
For a Georgetown home, a basic guest bath refresh with new vanity, toilet, tile, and fixtures typically runs $8,000 to $15,000. A full primary bath remodel with a tiled shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and layout changes usually lands between $18,000 and $35,000. High-end finishes, plumbing moves, or structural changes push costs higher. The spread is wide because scope drives cost more than anything else. We give you an itemized estimate before you commit to anything.
Is $10,000 enough for a bathroom remodel?
It depends on what you are changing. In Georgetown, $10,000 is a workable budget for a smaller bathroom if you are keeping the plumbing where it is and choosing mid-grade materials. You can realistically get new tile floors, a new vanity and top, updated fixtures, a tiled shower surround, and fresh paint in that range. What $10,000 does not cover is moving walls, relocating drains or supply lines, or outfitting a large primary bath. We will tell you upfront what fits your budget and what does not.
What does a $10,000 bathroom remodel actually look like?
At that price point in Georgetown, most homeowners get a fully updated guest or secondary bath. Think porcelain tile floors, a new single vanity with quartz or cultured marble top, a new toilet, updated light fixture, exhaust fan, and either a tiled tub surround or a basic prefab shower enclosure. You are not getting custom cabinetry, a curbless walk-in shower, or heated floors at $10,000, but the finished result looks clean, current, and adds real value to the home.
What should you avoid when renovating a bathroom in Georgetown?
A few things we see go wrong regularly. First, skipping a permit when plumbing or electrical work is involved. Georgetown requires permits for that work, and unpermitted jobs can create problems when you sell. Second, choosing tile before confirming your floor is level and your substrate is solid. Georgetown's clay soil shifts, and bathrooms with unchecked subfloor movement crack tile fast. Third, hiring a contractor who gives you a price without seeing the space. Hidden water damage and old plumbing surprises are common in older Georgetown neighborhoods and they cost real money to fix.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Georgetown?
A straightforward guest bath remodel typically takes 1 to 2 weeks of active construction once materials are on site. A full primary bath with custom tile work, a new shower, and any plumbing changes usually runs 3 to 5 weeks. Material lead times add time before we even break ground. We map out a schedule for your project in advance so you are not guessing week to week.
Do you pull permits for bathroom remodels in Georgetown?
Yes, always. Georgetown requires permits for any work that involves moving or adding plumbing, electrical changes, or structural modifications. We handle the permit process directly with the City of Georgetown. Any contractor who tells you permits are unnecessary for that type of work is cutting a corner that lands on you as the homeowner later.
Why hire Bayside Home Builders for a Georgetown bathroom remodel instead of a handyman or national bath company?
A handyman can handle small repairs but is not set up for a full remodel involving licensed plumbing, electrical, and tile work done to code. National bath replacement companies are fast but they work from a narrow product catalog and focus on one-day installs, not custom layouts or full gut renovations. We are a local design-build contractor who has worked across Georgetown and Central Texas. We manage the full project, pull proper permits, and you deal with one point of contact from estimate to final walkthrough.
