Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Marina del Rey
A full bathroom remodel in Marina del Rey typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with most jobs landing between $12,000 and $19,000 once fixtures and finishes are selected. The work usually takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on whether you’re reconfiguring plumbing or keeping the existing footprint. If you’re in a marina-adjacent condo or an older slab-on-grade unit, the scope often includes drain line work that inland projects never touch.
We know Marina del Rey’s building stock because we’ve worked in it for years.

Why Mason Remodeling Is Marina del Rey’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve earned our reputation in Marina del Rey by doing the unglamorous work correctly: pulling the right permits, writing allowances that match what you actually selected, and opening walls before quoting rather than after. Too many remodelers quote a flat bathroom number without looking under the subfloor. In this ZIP code, that shortcut almost always backfires.
Every Mason Remodeling technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and arrives in a clean marked uniform with a photo ID badge at the door. You receive the crew member’s name and photo before the visit. We call this The Threshold Standard, and it’s the reason homeowners who are often home alone or managing young kids choose us over the anonymous pickup-truck crew.
Isaac Pruett leads our team with a simple rule: the written price comes before any work starts, and it holds. That’s not a promotion. It’s how every project runs, including yours.
Our Marina del Rey customers tell us the two things they value most are the written guarantee and the free return visit if something fails. Both are standard on every job we complete.
Styles & brands we work with
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Marina del Rey
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Marina del Rey handles the full scope: demolition, plumbing rough-in, shower pan and waterproofing, tile, vanity installation, fixtures, and final trim. The job is different here than in Culver City or Westchester because many marina-area buildings sit on slab foundations with original cast-iron drains, and some units fall inside the Coastal Zone where interior reconfigurations trigger coastal development permit review. A typical full remodel in Marina del Rey runs $9,000 – $28,000.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
We strip the room to studs and floor, replace or reroute plumbing as needed, waterproof the wet areas, and rebuild with the finishes you selected. In Marina del Rey’s older buildings, this often means replacing a corroded cast-iron drain line back to the stack. We pull permits for that work and schedule inspection sign-off as part of the calendar.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Converting a tub or cramped stall into a walk-in shower is one of the most requested projects in Marina del Rey condos. Curbless showers with linear drains work well in slab-on-grade units where a traditional raised pan creates a trip hazard. We set the pan, waterproof to code, and tile to the ceiling when the layout allows.
Walk In Shower in Marina del Rey
A Walk In Shower in Marina del Rey is a practical upgrade for older adults, parents bathing small kids, and anyone who wants a cleaner, more open bathroom without changing the room’s footprint. Installation typically costs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on whether we’re replacing an existing stall or converting a tub, and whether the drain location needs to move.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
The glass is usually the last piece installed, but it changes how the whole room feels. We measure after tile is set so the panels fit exactly, and we use specification-grade hardware that holds up to Marina del Rey’s salt air better than big-box options.
Bathtub Replacement
When the tub is original to a 1960s or 70s unit, the finish is often worn past saving and the drain assembly is corroded. We remove the old tub, inspect the subfloor while the opening is exposed, and set a new tub with a proper mortar bed. This costs $3,000 – $8,500 when paired with a shower replacement.
Trusted Brands We Service in Marina del Rey
We install and service the brands homeowners in Marina del Rey actually request: Kohler and Moen fixtures, Cambria and Silestone surfaces, and KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry. These are specification-grade products, not off-the-shelf stock, and our partnerships mean you’re not chasing down a showroom appointment yourself. We also work with prefab and modular manufacturers like Dvele and Mighty Buildings when the project scope calls for factory-built components. If you already have a vanity or shower system selected, we’ll quote the labor honestly and tell you if the product is a good fit for your building’s plumbing before you buy it.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Marina del Rey Homes
- Corroded cast-iron drains under slab floors. In 1960s and 70s marina-adjacent buildings, the original drain lines are often rusted through or partially collapsed. We scope the drain before quoting so you’re not surprised when the demo opens.
- Coastal Zone permit triggers on interior work. Some units east of Via Marina sit inside the Coastal Zone, and moving a shower or toilet can require a coastal development permit. We check the address against the Coastal Commission boundary before the first swing of the hammer.
- Rotted subfloor from slow pan leaks. A shower pan that leaked for years can soften the subfloor around the drain. In slab units, this often means sistering the joists and replacing the framing before new tile goes down.
- Vague allowances that blow the budget at selection time. If a quote says “tile allowance” without naming a product, expect the final bill to climb once you pick something you actually like. We write allowances that match the brands you told us you wanted.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Marina del Rey
Most bathroom remodels in Marina del Rey require a permit, especially if you’re moving plumbing, replacing drain lines, or changing the shower configuration. If your unit falls inside the Coastal Zone, you may also need a coastal development permit, which adds 2 to 6 weeks to the front end of the project. We pull every permit the job requires and schedule inspections as part of the timeline. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll check your specific address before you commit.
The biggest cost drivers are the condition of the existing drains and subfloor, the finishes you select, and whether the scope triggers Coastal Zone permit review. A 1970s slab-on-grade unit with cast-iron drains that need replacing will run $3,000 – $6,000 more than a newer unit where the plumbing is intact. Cambria and Silestone tops and KraftMaid or Wellborn vanities add meaningful cost compared to stock options. We show you these numbers as separate line items so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Most Marina del Rey bathroom remodels take 3 to 6 weeks from demo to final inspection. Coastal Zone permit review adds time upfront, and slab-on-grade plumbing work adds a few days mid-project. A tub-to-shower conversion in a standard condo typically runs 2 to 3 weeks once permits clear. We give you a week-by-week calendar in the written proposal so you know when the room is usable again.
Those surprises usually come from contractors who quote before opening the subfloor. In Marina del Rey’s older marina-adjacent buildings, hidden cast-iron drain corrosion or rotted framing is common, and if the quote didn’t account for it, the price balloons via change order. We open the walls and scope the drains before we quote whenever access allows. If something genuinely unforeseen appears mid-job, we stop work and give you a written change order with the exact cost before any additional work happens. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll explain exactly what we check before quoting your building.
Yes, walk-in showers are one of the most common projects we complete in Marina del Rey condos. The two realities to plan for are waterproofing the pan correctly on a slab or wood subfloor, and confirming whether the HOA or Coastal Zone rules restrict plumbing relocations. Curbless designs with linear drains work especially well in smaller condo bathrooms. We’ll tell you during the estimate whether your building’s drain configuration supports the layout you want, before you spend money on design.
On a 1972 slab-on-grade unit off Via Marina, our crew opened a hall bathroom to find the original cast-iron drain line corroded past the trap and the subfloor soft from a slow pan leak. We pulled permits for the rough-in, replaced the drain to the stack, sistered the joists, and set a Kohler shower pan with tile to the ceiling. Inspection sign-off passed on the first walk, and the punch list closed in two days. That’s how we handle every job in Marina del Rey: see the problem, fix the problem, write it down, stand behind it.
Construction work in Marina del Rey, CA comes with specific obligations: coastal permit boundaries, slab plumbing realities, and HOA requirements on multi-family buildings. Get a contractor who already knows them. Call (803) 680-2547 for your free estimate, and we’ll send you a written price before any work begins.
