Full Bathroom Remodeling in San Diego
From outdated 80s bathrooms to spa-grade master suites — Subworkit Contracting delivers full bathroom remodels with custom tile, premium fixtures, and licensed plumbing and electrical under one roof.
A well-designed bathroom is one of the most valuable renovations you can make to a San Diego home. Subworkit Contracting is a licensed general contractor (CA #945572) delivering full bathroom remodels — from primary suites with walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, and double vanities, to guest bathrooms with custom tile and modern fixtures. Our design-build process includes demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile installation, cabinetry, and finishes — all coordinated by one team, properly permitted, and completed on a firm schedule.
Most San Diego bathroom remodels fall between $18,000 and $55,000 depending on size, tile selection, whether plumbing is relocated, and fixture quality. Primary suite bathrooms with custom tile showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities, and heated floors run $45,000–$85,000+. Guest bathrooms and hall baths typically run $18,000–$32,000. We provide detailed, itemized estimates so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
Our tile work is where we differentiate. Proper waterproofing is critical in any shower — we use Schluter-KERDI or Laticrete HYDRO BAN membrane systems, never just mortar-backed cement board. Large-format porcelain, natural stone, handmade ceramic, marble mosaics — we install them all with proper substrate prep, precise layout, and invisible grout lines. Shower niches, curbless zero-threshold entries, linear drains, and bench seats are all standard offerings.
Fixture selection is where your bathroom's personality comes through. We work with Kohler, Delta, Moen, Hansgrohe, Grohe, Brizo, and Toto — matching finishes (brushed nickel, matte black, brushed gold, champagne bronze) across faucets, showerheads, towel bars, and light fixtures for a cohesive look. Vanities range from prefab (Wayfair, James Martin) to semi-custom to full-custom built by our cabinet shop. Every bathroom includes GFCI-protected circuits, proper ventilation (minimum 80 CFM fans ducted to exterior), and LED lighting with dimmers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a full bathroom remodel cost in San Diego?
+
Guest and hall bathrooms typically run $18,000–$32,000 for a full remodel. Primary suite bathrooms with custom tile showers, freestanding tubs, double vanities, and heated floors run $45,000–$85,000+. Pricing depends heavily on tile selection, fixture brands, and whether plumbing is relocated.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
+
A full guest bathroom remodel typically takes 3–5 weeks. Primary suite remodels with layout changes take 5–8 weeks. We provide a firm schedule at contract signing and give daily updates during the build.
Do I need a permit to remodel my bathroom?
+
If you're relocating plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or moving walls, yes — San Diego County requires permits and inspections. Cosmetic remodels (new vanity in the same spot, new tile, new fixtures without relocating plumbing) typically do not. We handle all permitting.
Can you convert my bathtub to a walk-in shower?
+
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most common remodels. We can do zero-threshold (curbless) walk-in showers for aging-in-place, or standard curbed walk-in showers with frameless glass. Typical timeline is 5–10 days.
What waterproofing system do you use in showers?
+
We use Schluter-KERDI or Laticrete HYDRO BAN membrane systems on every shower we build. These are the gold standard — far better than mortar-backed cement board or mastic. Proper waterproofing is the single biggest factor in shower longevity.
Do you install heated floors?
+
Yes. Electric radiant heated floor mats (Nuheat, SunTouch, Warmup) installed under tile. We run a dedicated GFCI circuit, install a programmable thermostat, and warranty the install. Adds roughly $800–$2,500 to a typical bathroom remodel.
