Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Citrus Park
A full bathroom remodel in Citrus Park typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, depending on whether the job is a cosmetic refresh or a down-to-the-studs rebuild. Most projects take two to five weeks, and the two biggest local variables are county permitting and what our crew finds behind the walls of a home built on former grove land. If you’re calling from Westchase, Countryway, or an older Citrus Park section off Gunn Highway, our team knows what those houses look like underneath. Call (850) 779-4017 and we’ll walk through your project in plain language, with a written price before any work starts.
Why Elmstead Remodeling Tampa Is Citrus Park’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Citrus Park is unincorporated Hillsborough County. That sentence matters more than most homeowners realize. A bathroom remodel that adds a fixture, moves a wall, or changes a drain line can trigger county septic and well setback reviews that city-of-Tampa contractors never think to check. We do. Every Elmstead Remodeling project starts with a permit scope review specific to the property address, not a template based on how things work inside city limits.
Our crews work in Citrus Park regularly, and the crew that shows up is background-checked, uniformed, and briefed on your specific project before they ever park the truck. Graham Stein, who leads Elmstead Remodeling Tampa, makes sure every job has a written price before the first tool comes off the truck. That price does not grow because we found an old irrigation line or a soft subfloor. It changes only when we document the change, show you the number, and get your sign-off in writing.
We also know the practical side of working here. Some Citrus Park lots sit on half an acre or more, off private roads or long asphalt driveways. That changes where materials get staged, how many trips the tile delivery makes, and whether we need to protect a driveway with plywood. These details show up in our quotes because they’re real costs. We’d rather tell you on paper than discover them mid-job.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Citrus Park
A Shower Remodel in Citrus Park almost always means working inside an older footprint and finding something the previous owner never dealt with: moisture in the subfloor, a shower pan that was never properly sloped, or backer board that should have been replaced a decade ago. Our approach is to open the wall only after we’ve already walked you through what a worst-case discovery would cost, so there’s no surprise when the tile saw starts.
Shower remodels here typically range from $3,000 – $8,500 for a like-for-like shower replacement, while a full walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000. Tile choice, glass enclosure hardware, and any drain relocation shift the final number, and we show you the line items before you commit.
Schluter Waterproofing Systems
We use Schluter waterproofing membranes under tile in every Citrus Park shower we build. The reason is simple: our summers are humid, our showers get daily use by families, and once tile is set, you cannot see what is happening underneath it. Schluter’s system means the water that gets past the grout never reaches the framing. It’s a named product with a manufacturer’s warranty, and it travels with your finished shower.
Frameless Glass and Aging-in-Place Options
Many Citrus Park homeowners want a curbless walk-in shower as they renovate a primary bathroom. That works especially well in 1990s-era homes where the original tub-shower combo never fit the room’s proportions. We pair the waterproofing with frameless glass enclosures and can discuss grab-bar blocking inside the walls now, before tile goes up, so the shower works for every stage of family life.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Citrus Park
A Tub to Shower Conversion in Citrus Park is the most common request we get from families in Westchase and Countryway: the kids have outgrown the bath, the parents want easier access, and the original acrylic tub is showing its age. The conversion means removing the tub, reconfiguring the drain from a 1.5-inch tub line to a 2-inch shower line where code requires, waterproofing the new footprint, and setting tile or a solid-surface surround.
Most tub-to-shower conversions here land between $3,500 and $10,000. The spread comes down to tile scope, glass door choice, and whether the drain needs to move. On former grove lots, we check the subfloor and framing more carefully because residual acidic soil can wick moisture into older wood and compromise what the new shower anchors to.
Drain and Vent Work Under the Slab
If the drain needs to move, we’re cutting into a slab foundation, not a wooden subfloor. That’s slower, dustier work, and it is why we cover floors with drop cloths and seal off the work area with plastic before the saw touches concrete. The county inspector has to see the rough-in before we cover anything, and we schedule that inspection into the timeline so it doesn’t stall the job.
Accessibility Without the Institutional Look
A tub-to-shower conversion is the right moment to decide on a curb, a bench, and a handheld sprayer. We build all of those into the written quote up front, so the final shower feels designed for your household rather than lifted from a medical catalog. Kohler and Moen fixtures are standard options, and we’ll point you to the specific models so you can research them by name.
Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus Park
We stock and install bathroom fixtures and materials from brands homeowners can verify independently: Bathroom Remodeling projects here commonly include Kohler and Moen fixtures, Schluter waterproofing, Cambria or Silestone countertops, and KraftMaid or Wellborn vanities. We also work with Therma-Tru and ViewLux products where bathroom privacy doors and windows are part of the scope. If a warranty issue ever comes up, these are companies with real customer service departments, not no-name imports. Our Citrus Park projects keep parts sourcing local where possible, which shortens lead times when a fixture arrives damaged or a specialty trim piece is backordered.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Citrus Park Homes
- Buried irrigation pipe from old citrus groves. On a 1970s ranch in the original Citrus Park section off Gunn Highway, our crew opened a bathroom wall to relocate a shower valve and found buried irrigation pipe from the grove days running right behind the studs. We re-routed the rough-in around the pipe and treated the subfloor for residual acidic soil that had wicked moisture into the framing – a change order documented in writing before the wall was closed, and the county inspector signed off on the revised scope.
- County permitting rules, not city rules. Citrus Park is unincorporated Hillsborough County. A remodel that adds a fixture or moves a wall can trigger septic tank and well setback reviews. Contractors who assume city of Tampa rules apply will file the wrong permit or skip a review, and the homeowner is the one left holding the violation.
- Slab moisture hidden under old tile. High humidity and decades of slab condensation can rot the wood around a shower curb or toilet flange. The tile looks fine on the surface, but underneath, the framing is compromised. We inspect that framing before we set new tile, not after.
- Long driveways and material access. A master bathroom remodel on a half-acre lot off a private road means materials cannot just get dropped at the garage. We plan where the delivery truck parks, how we stage the tile and drywall, and whether we need plywood protection for an asphalt driveway.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Citrus Park
Yes – in most cases, a tub-to-shower conversion in Citrus Park requires a Hillsborough County plumbing permit, and if the project adds or relocates a fixture, a county building permit may also apply. We file the correct permits before demolition starts, and our quote includes the permit fees as a line item. Call (850) 779-4017 and we’ll tell you exactly which permits your property needs.
If your Citrus Park property has a septic system, the county requires the drain field and tank to sit a minimum distance from any new bedroom or bathroom addition – often 10 to 25 feet depending on the system. On former grove parcels, that setback can eat into usable building area, and we scope the septic review before quoting so you’re not surprised mid-project. We also check for old irrigation lines that can be mistaken for drain lines.
Moisture stains on a bath subfloor in a Citrus Park home usually mean the old tile or shower pan was letting water through, and the wood underneath has been holding that moisture for years. Before we set new tile, we inspect the framing, and if there’s rot or acid-damaged wood from former grove soil, we replace it and document the work for the county inspector. Closing walls without that inspection leaves you with no recourse if the floor fails later.
Yes, but a detached bathroom in Citrus Park triggers county review for additional septic capacity or sewer extension, plus well setbacks if applicable. On larger lots, the distance from the main structure may also require a separate waste line, which changes the price meaningfully. We scope all of that before quoting so the written price reflects the real scope.
Westchase and Countryway homes are generally newer and built to tighter tolerances, but they can also have more complex layouts and higher-end fixture expectations. Older Citrus Park homes off Gunn Highway sometimes have simpler plumbing but more hidden issues: old irrigation pipe, slab moisture, and county septic reviews. The price difference reflects what we find when we open the wall, not which neighborhood you live in.
