AfterFast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Westgate
Bathroom remodeling in Westgate runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full renovation, with most walk-in shower conversions and tub-to-shower projects falling between $3,500 and $12,000. Every job starts with a written price before anyone picks up a tool. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate.
We’ve worked in Westgate long enough to know the neighborhood’s concrete block homes by their problems. The cast-iron drains under the slab. The tile walls with no moisture barrier behind them. The electrical panels that can’t handle a GFCI circuit for a heated towel bar. These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re what we find when we open the walls on 45th Street, Haverhill Road, and the side streets off Okeechobee Boulevard. Our crews are dispatched from our South Florida office in Miami, and we serve Westgate locally with background-checked, uniformed technicians and a documented photo record on every visit.
Westgate’s salt air isn’t as direct as the beachfront, but it’s enough. Stainless hardware and marine-grade finishes aren’t upsells here. They’re what keeps your shower enclosure from corroding in five years instead of fifteen. The price gap between coastal-spec and inland-spec materials is real, and we’ll show you both numbers in writing.

Our Bathroom Remodeling Services in Westgate
Full Bathroom Remodeling
A full bathroom remodel in Westgate means dealing with what the original builders left behind. The 1950s-1970s CBS homes here have cast-iron or galvanized drains that corrode under the slab, electrical panels that can’t carry modern loads, and tile walls with no moisture barrier. We quote the full scope in writing, including the contingencies we find in Westgate’s housing stock. Our Bathroom Remodeling team has replaced subfloors rotted through by slab leaks, upgraded 100-amp fuse boxes to 200-amp service panels, and pulled permits through the Palm Beach County Building Division for every job.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Walk-in shower installation in Westgate runs $4,500-$12,000. The frameless glass enclosure is where salt air does its damage - standard hardware corrodes, so we specify marine-grade stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners. The bigger issue is what’s behind the tile. In a 1960s Westgate bathroom, there’s often no cement backer board, no waterproof membrane, and frequently no moisture barrier at all. We find rotted framing and mold colonies that require structural repair before the new shower can go in. We document everything with photos, explain the change order in writing, and don’t proceed until it’s signed.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Tub-to-shower conversion in Westgate costs $3,500-$10,000. The high water table in Palm Beach County - often 18-36 inches below grade - means any ground-disturbing work, including drain relocation, requires careful dewatering and sometimes a pump-and-seal approach. We’ve converted tubs in homes off Okeechobee Boulevard where the original cast-iron tub drain had to be cut out and replaced with PVC because the hub had rotted through. The county inspector checks the new trap and vent configuration against current Florida Building Code, which is stricter than what these homes were built to.
Vanities, Tile & Fixtures
Vanity installation in Westgate runs $800-$3,000, but the real cost driver is the electrical. A modern vanity with GFCI outlets, LED lighting, and a heated towel bar can pull 20 amps - more than the original circuit was designed for. We stock Kohler and Toto fixtures, and we source KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet lines with honest lead times. For tile, we specify cement backer board with a liquid-applied waterproofing membrane, not the drywall or greenboard we find behind 1970s Westgate tile. The membrane is the difference between a shower that lasts 25 years and one that leaks in five.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Westgate
We source across fifty-plus vetted brands, which lets us quote honest numbers instead of inflated ones. For Westgate bathrooms, we regularly specify Kohler and Toto fixtures for their corrosion resistance in salt-air conditions, KraftMaid and Wellborn vanities with marine-grade hardware upgrades, and Cambria or Caesarstone countertops where the vanity top sees heavy use. We don’t stock everything in a local warehouse - no honest contractor does - but our supply relationships mean replacement parts arrive in days, not weeks, and we pass through our trade pricing without markup. The written quote lists every brand and model number. You screenshot it and compare.
Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Westgate Homes
- Cast-iron drains under the slab have rusted through. We were called to a 1962 CBS block home near 45th Street and Haverhill Road where the original drain had leaked into the slab and caused a soft spot in the subfloor. Our crew replaced the drain, poured a new subfloor section, and installed a Moen Posi-Temp rough-in with a Kohler Caxton sink. The job passed inspection after we submitted as-built drawings.
- No moisture barrier behind 1950s-70s tile means hidden rot. Every shower remodel in Westgate’s older homes reveals this. The framing behind the tile is often black with mold, and load-bearing studs may be compromised. We document the damage with photos, quote the repair in writing, and don’t install new backer board until the structure is sound.
- Undersized electrical panels can’t handle modern bathroom loads. The 100-amp service or fuse box in a 1960s Westgate home won’t carry a GFCI circuit for a hair dryer and heated towel bar. The county inspector will fail the rough-in. We evaluate the panel before we quote, and if an upgrade is needed, we price it upfront - not as a surprise mid-job.
- Unpermitted room conversions block new permits. Westgate’s unincorporated status means all permits run through Palm Beach County, and the county requires disclosure of any prior unpermitted work. We’ve seen 1980s room additions that had to be legalized - with as-built drawings, fees, and inspections - before we could pull a bathroom permit. This can double the scope and cost of an otherwise routine remodel.

FAQs - Bathroom Remodeling in Westgate
Westgate is unincorporated, so all construction permits and inspections run through the Palm Beach County Building Division, not a municipal department. This affects contractor licensing reciprocity, inspection scheduling, and code enforcement timelines compared to neighboring West Palm Beach, which has its own building department. We handle the county permit application, schedule inspections, and coordinate the certificate of occupancy - it’s included in our project management, not billed separately. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate.
Yes, but the unpermitted work must be disclosed and resolved before Palm Beach County will issue a new permit. This typically requires as-built drawings, payment of outstanding permit fees, and passing retroactive inspections. We’ve cleared this condition for Westgate homeowners and can evaluate your situation during the estimate visit. The cost to legalize prior work is quoted separately in writing. Call (561) 475-3903 for a free assessment.
Coastal-spec materials add roughly 15-25% to fixture and hardware costs, but they prevent corrosion failure within 5-10 years. For a typical Westgate walk-in shower, that means marine-grade stainless fasteners, sealed glass joints, and corrosion-resistant valve bodies instead of standard plated brass. We quote both specs in writing so you can see the 10-year cost of ownership, not just the install price. Call (561) 475-3903 for line-item pricing.
A straightforward tub-to-shower conversion takes 5-7 working days, but Westgate’s high water table can extend drain work by 1-2 days if dewatering is needed. The county inspection schedule adds another variable - we typically book inspections 2-3 days out. We include a written timeline with every quote, and we don’t start until you have the complete schedule. Call (561) 475-3903 to discuss your specific bathroom.
Yes. We evaluate your electrical service during the estimate, quote any needed upgrade in writing, and coordinate the county electrical inspection. Most Westgate homes built before 1975 need at least a subpanel addition or full service upgrade to 200 amps to handle modern bathroom circuits. The work is performed by our licensed electrical contractor, permitted through Palm Beach County, and included in your project documentation. Call (561) 475-3903 to schedule your free estimate.
