Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Pomona
A full bathroom remodel in Pomona typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with smaller baths starting around $5,000 and tub-to-shower conversions landing between $3,500 and $10,000. The biggest cost swing in this city isn’t tile selection or vanity style. It’s what’s behind the walls of Pomona’s older homes, where original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing often needs replacement before any finish work can happen. We know this because we’ve opened enough walls here to expect it, plan for it, and price it honestly.

Why Mason Remodeling Is Pomona’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Mason Remodeling has been doing Bathroom Remodeling work since 2004, and the approach hasn’t changed: verify every person who steps onto your property, put every price in writing, and stand behind the work for a full year. That matters in Pomona, where homeowners are deciding who gets to be inside their house for two to six weeks. You’re not hiring a faceless crew. You’re hiring named, background-checked, uniformed technicians who show a photo ID badge at the door.
Our crews work throughout Pomona regularly, from the tree-lined streets off Ganesha Park to the hillside lots near Phillips Ranch, from the historic districts near downtown to the newer pockets around Westmont and Lincoln Park. We coordinate scheduling and dispatch from our Los Angeles office, but the crews who show up at your Pomona door are the ones doing the work, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Isaac Pruett leads our team, and the standard he’s set is simple: a written price before tools come out, a written guarantee on every job, and a free return visit if something fails within the guarantee period.
Every Mason Remodeling project follows what we call the Threshold Standard. Before your job starts, you get the name and photo of every crew member assigned to your home. On arrival, each one carries a photo ID badge and wears a clean marked uniform. You’ll never wonder who’s in your hallway. For a homeowner who’s often alone during the day, or a parent with young kids, that’s not a nice-to-have. It’s the whole point of choosing us.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Pomona
A shower remodel in Pomona means replacing the shower base, walls, valve, and often the glass enclosure, and it runs $3,000 – $8,500 for a standard replacement or $4,500 – $12,000 for a full walk-in shower installation. What starts as a tired fiberglass insert or cracked tile often turns into a bigger job once the old walls come down, which is why we price the visible work and the likely hidden work separately, in writing, before we start.
Walk-In Shower Installation
In Pomona’s 1950s and 1960s ranches, the original bathroom layout usually put the shower in a tight corner with a low curb. When we install a walk-in shower, we’re often reworking the drain location and re-sloping the floor to meet current code. The Pomona Building & Safety Division inspects the plumbing rough-in before walls close, and we pull that permit as standard on these jobs.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Frameless glass enclosures are popular in Pomona homes that want the shower to feel larger without moving a wall. We size the glass after the tile is set and the walls are plumb, using hardware from Kohler, Moen, and Grohe. The price for a custom enclosure is included in our written quote, not billed as an afterthought.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Pomona
A tub to shower conversion in Pomona typically costs $3,500 – $10,000 and means removing the existing bathtub, reconfiguring the drain and supply lines, waterproofing the new shower footprint, and setting new tile or a solid-surface surround. In Pomona’s older homes, this scope frequently expands once we see the condition of the original cast-iron tub drain. Homeowners with aging knees or mobility concerns often choose this when the tub has become more of a hazard than a luxury.
Bathtub Replacement
When the tub stays a tub but needs to go, we’re replacing it with a new drop-in or freestanding unit. The job includes the drain assembly, overflow, and the surrounding waterproofing. If your Pomona home still has its original 60-year-old tub, expect the replacement to include some plumbing repair, because galvanized nipples and cracked cast-iron P-traps don’t survive removal gracefully.
Small Bathroom Remodels
Pomona has plenty of compact hall baths and guest baths, often 40 to 60 square feet. A small bathroom remodel here runs $5,000 – $12,000 and can still involve significant plumbing work if the house predates the 1970s. We’re efficient with these spaces, but we won’t skip the permit or the rough-in inspection to save a day.
Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We install and service fixtures and finishes from the brands Pomona homeowners actually ask for: Kohler and Toto for fixtures, Cambria and Silestone for vanity tops, Wellborn and KraftMaid for cabinetry, and Schluter for waterproofing systems. We maintain working relationships with these manufacturers’ local distribution channels, which means we can get replacement parts and warranty support quickly for Pomona customers without waiting on long backorders. You don’t have to chase down a warranty claim yourself. We handle it as part of the job.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Cast-iron drain lines that fail once exposed. In Pomona homes built between the 1920s and 1960s, the original cast-iron waste lines are often corroded at the closet bend or have hairline cracks that only show once the wall is open. The Pomona Building & Safety Division will fail a rough-in inspection if the old drain isn’t up to code, so we plan for this line item from the first walkthrough.
- Galvanized supply lines with reduced water pressure. Many Pomona homes still have original galvanized steel supply plumbing, which corrodes from the inside and chokes flow to the shower valve. When the wall is open, replacing these lines is the right call, and it’s a signed change order if it wasn’t in the original scope.
- Improper waterproofing from previous remodels. We regularly find shower pans that were built without a proper membrane or with drywall behind tile instead of cement board or a Schluter system. Mold and rot follow. In Pomona’s dry climate, this damage hides longer than it would in a humid region, which means homeowners don’t see it until the tile starts moving.
- Non-permitted work that surfaces at resale. Pomona real estate transactions often trigger disclosure questions about bathroom work done without permits. A shower change or plumbing modification done “quietly” becomes a seller’s problem later. We pull permits as standard, and every job closes with a final inspection sign-off you can show a buyer.

What moves the final number in Pomona? First, the plumbing. If your home still has cast-iron drains or galvanized supply lines, expect that line item to be part of the quote after we inspect the access points. Second, the permit and inspection timeline. The city’s Building & Safety Division requires rough-in inspections before walls close, and that’s non-negotiable on our jobs. Third, fixtures and finishes. We write allowances for vanity tops, tile, and fixtures, so a Cambria top or a Toto toilet is a documented selection, not a surprise on the final invoice. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate with a written line-item quote before anything starts.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Yes. Any bathroom remodel in Pomona that alters plumbing, electrical, or structural elements requires a permit from the Pomona Building & Safety Division, and that includes shower valve changes, drain reconfigurations, and tub-to-shower conversions. We pull all required permits, schedule the rough-in and final inspections, and close out the job with a passed inspection on record. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you exactly which permits your specific project needs.
Because the walls came down and revealed what was behind them. In Pomona homes built before the 1970s, we commonly find corroded cast-iron drain lines, failing galvanized supply pipes, and water-damaged framing that no one could see before demo. Any added work becomes a written change order you sign before we proceed, with the reason documented in plain language. We don’t do verbal add-ons. Call (803) 680-2547 to talk through your home’s likely hidden conditions before you bid the job.
Most Pomona bathroom remodels take three to six weeks from first day of demo to final inspection, depending on whether we’re re-routing plumbing or just replacing finishes. A tub-to-shower conversion with new tile and glass typically runs two to three weeks. Permit inspections add days at specific points in the schedule, and we build that into the calendar upfront rather than acting surprised when the city requires it. Call (803) 680-2547 for a realistic timeline for your specific bathroom.
Yes, we convert tubs to walk-in showers throughout Pomona, including homes off McKinley Avenue, in Phillips Ranch, and across the Westmont and Lincoln Park areas. The job involves removing the tub, re-routing the drain to the shower footprint, waterproofing the new space, and setting tile or a solid-surface surround, with the permit inspection completed before the walls close. Most conversions in Pomona land between $3,500 and $10,000. Call (803) 680-2547 to schedule a walkthrough and get a written quote.
Allowances are written dollar amounts in your contract for items you select after the work begins, like tile, vanity tops, and fixtures. If you pick a Cambria top that costs more than the allowance, you get a documented change order before we order it, not a bigger final bill. If we open a wall and find plumbing that has to be replaced, you get a signed change order with the reason and cost before we touch it. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll walk through how your quote is structured before you sign anything.
