Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Coral Gables, FL: we replace tubs with walk-in showers, retile floors and walls, install vanities, sinks and toilets, and update lights, fans and hardware for homes in 33134 and 33146. Pricing is per project. You get a free estimate from the photos and measurements you send by phone or WhatsApp, and permitted plumbing or layout changes go through our general contractor partner.

Bathrooms around Coral Gables come in every age and style, from small hall baths with a tub and a single sink to primary bathrooms with a separate shower and a garden tub that mostly collects dust. The requests we hear most are tub-to-shower conversions, new tile throughout, replacing a dated vanity and top, and swapping old fixtures, lights and fans for quieter, brighter ones.

Start with a message to (786) 788-8714. A short video walking around the room works as well as photos, and WhatsApp handles both. Measure the room wall to wall and note where the toilet, sink and tub or shower sit. If you already picked tile or a vanity, send the product link or a photo of the label. We answer in English or Spanish, whichever you write in.

Remodeling bathrooms in Coral Gables's older homes

Coral Gables was planned in the 1920s as a Mediterranean Revival city, and many of its homes still hide plaster walls, solid masonry and original layouts behind the stucco and barrel tile.

Remodeling an older house is less predictable than a newer one, and we say so up front. The estimate covers what we can see in your photos, and we name the likely unknowns: what the subfloor looks like under the tile, whether the tub drain is cast iron, how flat the plaster walls are. When the walls come down, we send you photos of what we find before anything changes in scope or price.

Plaster and old block walls are not as forgiving as modern drywall, so new tile often needs a flattened surface or new backer board to sit straight. Window walls in the shower get special attention: we waterproof around the opening, and many owners choose to make the window smaller or move the shower so water stops hitting the sill. Changes to the window opening are permitted work.

From tile to fixtures: the work we do in Coral Gables bathrooms

Here is the work our crew handles directly; permitted plumbing, electrical and layout changes are coordinated through our general contractor partner.

Bathroom remodels for Coral Gables rental properties

Rental bathrooms in Coral Gables need to survive tenants, and that changes the choices. We lean toward porcelain tile, darker or epoxy-type grout that hides wear, a solid vanity top, a sturdy one-piece toilet, and fixtures with replacement parts that are easy to find. A clean, simple bathroom rents well and keeps maintenance calls down, which matters more than fancy finishes.

Most landlords want the work done between leases, when the unit is empty. Send us the move-out date and photos as soon as you have them, and we can plan materials ahead so the bathroom is ready for the next tenant. If someone still lives in the unit, give notice as your lease and local rules require, and we will work around their schedule.

Five steps from estimate to walkthrough

  1. It starts with your phone. Text or WhatsApp (786) 788-8714 with photos, a short video if it helps and rough measurements, and we return a free per-project estimate or a short list of questions.
  2. Next comes a written scope listing each task, the materials and who provides them, plus a start date and the order of work, so there are no surprises about what the price covers.
  3. If the design needs a permit, such as new drain locations, added circuits or moved walls, it is pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Coral Gables building department, and we schedule around the inspections.
  4. During the work we keep you updated by text with photos of each stage, especially before walls are closed, and we tell you right away if demolition reveals rot, leaks or old pipes.
  5. At the end we walk the bathroom with you, adjust anything that is not right, and send a photo report so you have a record of the work and the materials used.

Timing a bathroom remodel

A cosmetic refresh (new vanity, toilet, lights, mirror and paint on the existing layout) is usually a matter of days. A shower rebuild with new tile takes longer because each layer needs time: demolition, waterproofing, a flood test, tile setting, grout curing and then glass measurement. A full gut runs longer still, and the biggest variable is not the labor but the permit review and the inspections that happen in between.

Bathroom Remodeling in Coral Gables — questions we get asked

My house is old. What surprises should I expect?

In houses from the 1920s through the 1960s, common findings are galvanized supply pipes clogged with rust, cracked cast-iron drains, thick mortar-bed tile and uneven plaster walls. We list the likely unknowns in the estimate. When walls open, we send photos before changing anything, and replacing pipes is permitted work through our general contractor partner, usually most practical while the walls are open.

I own a rental. Can you work between tenants?

Yes. Send the move-out date, photos and what you want done, and we plan materials ahead so the bathroom can be ready for the next tenant. Durable, easy-to-replace finishes cut down on future service calls. If a tenant is still living there, give notice as your lease and local rules require, and we schedule the work around them.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Coral Gables?

Every bathroom is priced as its own project, because the scope varies so much: a vanity and toilet swap is a different job from a full gut with a tiled shower. Send photos and rough measurements by text or WhatsApp to (786) 788-8714, and we send back a free estimate. If the photos leave open questions, we ask before quoting rather than guessing.

Can we keep living in the house during the remodel?

Usually, yes. We contain dust at the bathroom door, protect the floors along our path and clean up at the end of each day. The main question is whether you have another working bathroom. If it is the only one, we plan the toilet reset early and tell you in the schedule which stretches you will be without a shower, so you can plan around them.

Who buys the tile, vanity and fixtures?

Either way works. Many customers choose and buy their own tile, vanity and faucets, and we tell them exactly what quantities and extra parts to order. Others prefer that we source standard materials as part of the project. Special-order tile, stone tops and custom glass have lead times, so we confirm availability before setting the start date.
