Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Selma
Bathroom remodeling in Selma typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 for a full project, with tub-to-shower conversions starting around $3,500 and small bathroom remodels landing between $5,000 and $12,000. Those are honest numbers for this market, based on what we actually see when we open walls in Selma’s mid-century homes. If you’re planning a remodel here, you deserve a contractor who knows what’s behind the drywall on a 1960s ranch and puts the full price in writing before any work starts. Call us at (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
Selma isn’t like Fresno or Clovis when it comes to remodeling. The housing stock is older, the slab foundations settle differently, and the original plumbing rarely cooperates with modern fixtures. We coordinate our Selma work from the Central Valley office, which means our crews are already familiar with the neighborhoods, the permit office, and the way these houses were built.
Why Mason Remodeling Is Selma’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
We’ve been doing this since 2004, and the reason Selma homeowners keep calling us back is straightforward: we tell you who’s coming to your door, we give you a written price before anyone swings a hammer, and we stand behind the finished work for 365 days from the completion date. Isaac Pruett leads our team, and he holds every project to the Threshold Verified standard that Threshold Group built its name on. Every crew member is background-checked, identity-verified, and arrives in a clean uniform with a photo ID badge. You’ll receive the technician’s name and photo before they arrive.
Selma homeowners often tell us the same thing: they’ve had contractors give verbal estimates that ballooned once the work started, or they’ve let crews into their homes without really knowing who they were. Our Bathroom Remodeling team works differently. We deliver a written line-item quote before the first tool comes off the truck, and that quote covers the full scope. If something changes once we open the walls, we stop and walk you through exactly what changed and what it costs, in writing, before we proceed. No surprises, no “while we’re in there” additions.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That matters when you’re planning a remodel and have a question at 8 p.m. on a Tuesday, or when you’re home alone with two kids and want to confirm who’s scheduled to arrive the next morning.

Shower Remodel in Selma
A shower remodel in Selma usually runs $3,000 to $8,500 for a replacement, and up to $12,000 for a full walk-in shower installation depending on the tile, glass, and plumbing involved. That price range reflects the reality of working in Selma’s older homes: the job often involves more than swapping fixtures. Here’s what a shower remodel in Selma actually involves.
What We Find Behind Selma Shower Walls
Most shower remodels in Selma start with a discovery phase. Homes built in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s commonly have original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains behind the shower valve. When we open the wall, we check the condition of those lines. If they’re corroded or undersized for a modern valve like a Kohler or Moen unit, we flag it, show you what we found, and give you a written price to replace them before we continue. We don’t bury a problem behind new tile.
Subfloor condition matters too. Many Selma homes are slab-on-grade, and decades of settling have left subfloors out of level. A prefab shower pan won’t sit right on an unlevel floor, so we check for that early. Fixing it adds a day or two, but it keeps the tile from cracking six months after we leave.
Frameless Glass and Tile Choices
We install frameless glass shower enclosures and work with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone surfaces. For a shower remodel, the tile you choose drives a lot of the cost. We’ll help you price real options, not a brochure fantasy. We also stock common trim pieces like Schluter strips, the metal edge trim that seals where tile meets flooring, so we’re not waiting on a special order when your project is mid-flight.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Selma
A tub to shower conversion in Selma typically costs $3,500 to $10,000, a range driven by the same factors we see on full shower remodels: drain line condition, subfloor level, and the fixtures you choose. This is one of the most common projects we do in Selma, especially for older adults who want to step in without climbing over a tub wall, and for parents who are tired of bathing kids in a cramped alcove tub.
How the Conversion Works on Selma’s Slab Foundations
When we convert a tub to a shower in a Selma home, we first remove the existing tub and inspect the drain location. Most original tub drains in this city’s 1960s ranch homes sit at 1.5 inches, which is too small for a modern shower drain and doesn’t meet current code. We run a new 2-inch drain line and add proper venting. This is not a hidden charge. It’s a line item in the written quote we give you before we start, and it’s in the range above.
The second thing we do is level the shower base. Slab settling over decades changes the floor plane, and a walk-in shower needs a level, structurally sound base. If it’s within a quarter inch over the pan footprint, we can work with it. If it’s worse, we’re going to show you the numbers on repairing the subfloor before we set anything.
What a Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Selma Looks Like
We recently remodeled a hall bathroom in a 1962 ranch home near Floral Avenue in Selma. The original cast-iron drain was corroded and undersized, so after rough-in inspection we replaced the drain line and added a proper vent to bring it up to code. The homeowner chose a Kohler shower valve and Cambria vanity top, and we finished with a punch list that included adjusting the door swing and sealing the new subfloor edge. That project landed at the middle of the tub-to-shower conversion range because we caught the drain issue early and priced it in writing before the walls went back up.
Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We install and service fixtures from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe, and we work with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone on countertops and shower surrounds. For cabinetry, we specify KraftMaid and Wellborn. We keep common trim, valves, and shower pans sourced locally for our Selma customers, which means less waiting on freight for the pieces that matter most. If you’ve picked a specific finish or valve model, we’ll verify it’s in stock and give you a direct answer on lead time before we order, not after we’ve already torn out your old shower.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Original cast-iron drain lines from the 1960s. These corrode, scale, and often measure 1.5 inches, which doesn’t meet today’s code for shower drains. We replace them with modern PVC and vent them properly before inspection.
- Slab settling that throws the subfloor out of level. Decades of Central Valley soil movement leave floors uneven, which matters when you’re setting tile or a shower pan. We check for it early and price any repair before we start.
- Galvanized supply lines with heavy corrosion. Low water pressure in a Selma shower is often a supply line problem, not a fixture problem. We’ll tell you if you need to replace the lines when we’re in the wall.
- Unpermitted previous work that won’t pass inspection. If a previous owner swapped fixtures without pulling a permit, the rough-in may not meet Selma’s adopted code. We’ll correct it and get your inspection signed off.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Selma
Yes, most bathroom remodels in Selma require a building permit, especially when you change drain lines, move plumbing, or alter the rough-in. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure everything passes before the walls close. Skipping the permit isn’t a shortcut. If you sell the house, unpermitted plumbing work can come back on the disclosure, and the buyer’s inspector will look for it. Call (803) 680-2547 if you want us to handle the permit process for you.
A standard tub-to-shower conversion in Selma takes 5 to 7 working days. A full bathroom remodel with vanity, tile, glass, and plumbing runs 3 to 5 weeks depending on what we find behind the walls. Those timelines include the inspection wait days, which are real in Selma and we plan for them. We’ll give you a calendar at the start of the project and update it if anything changes.
The biggest cost driver in a Selma bathroom remodel is hidden plumbing: original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines that need replacement once the walls are open. In Selma’s 1950s-to-1970s housing stock, these are common, and they can add $1,500 to $3,000 to the final total depending on access and line length. We include a drain-line inspection allowance in every written quote so the number doesn’t shock you mid-project. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through the specifics for your house.
