Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Delray Beach, 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 33444, 33445, 33446 and 33484. 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.
A good bathroom remodel in Delray Beach is mostly about the parts nobody sees once it is finished: a properly sloped shower floor, waterproofing behind the tile, solid backing for grab bars and the glass door, and a fan that actually vents the moisture out. We pay attention to those first, then to the vanity, tile and fixtures that give the room its look.
Send photos and measurements to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp and we will build a free per-project estimate from them. Helpful shots include the shower or tub from straight on, the ceiling, the floor around the toilet and the inside of the vanity cabinet where the pipes come through. Write to us in Spanish or English, whichever is easier for your household.

Upgrading a newer bathroom in a planned community
Delray Beach pairs 1920s and 1930s houses near Atlantic Avenue and Pineapple Grove with mid-century streets, and, west of Jog Road, gated golf and 55-plus communities built from the 1980s on.
In master-planned and gated communities around Delray Beach, interior bathroom work does not usually go through the architectural review that exterior changes do, but the HOA still sets the ground rules. Many associations require contractors to register at the gate, keep a certificate of insurance on file, work within set hours, and park or place a dumpster only in approved spots. We handle those steps so you are not chasing paperwork.
Homes in these communities are newer, so the bathrooms are usually sound but builder-grade: plain tile, a basic vanity, a framed shower door and a garden tub. Owners typically want an upgrade rather than a repair, such as larger-format tile, a frameless glass enclosure, a floating vanity and better lighting. If the house is still under a builder warranty, check what the builder requires before plumbing is changed.
What a Delray Beach bathroom remodel can include
Most remodels combine several of the items below, and we list each one in the written scope so you know exactly what is and is not part of the project.
- Vanity, countertop, sink and faucet installation
- Toilet replacement, including comfort-height and elongated models
- Showerhead, handheld sprayer and valve trim replacement on existing plumbing
- Frameless or framed glass shower doors and panels installed
- Light fixture, mirror and medicine cabinet swaps
- Exhaust fan replacement to move humid air out of the room
- Grab bars, shower seats and other accessibility upgrades anchored into solid backing
- Drywall repair, moisture-resistant board and patching after demolition

What we find behind the walls of older Delray Beach bathrooms
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.
Five steps from estimate to walkthrough
- Estimate from photos: you text or WhatsApp photos and rough measurements to (786) 788-8714. We ask follow-up questions if needed and send a free, per-project estimate with the main options laid out.
- Written scope and schedule: once you approve, we put the scope in writing (what gets removed, what gets installed, who supplies which materials) and agree on a start date that fits your household.
- Permits where required: if the work moves plumbing, adds circuits or changes the layout, the permit is pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Delray Beach building department (or Palm Beach County for unincorporated addresses west of town) before that part of the work begins.
- The work: demolition, a check of what the walls reveal, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and finishes, in that order. We protect floors along the path, keep dust contained and clean up at the end of each day.
- Final walkthrough: we test every fixture, the drain and the fan with you, fix anything on the punch list, and send a photo report of the finished bathroom and of what is behind the walls.
What sets the timeline for your bathroom
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 Delray Beach — questions we get asked
My condo association has to approve the work. Can you help?
Yes. Most associations ask for a description of the work, a certificate of insurance and a schedule within their allowed hours, and many require sound-rated underlayment under new hard flooring. We provide the scope and insurance documents your building asks for and plan around elevator reservations and water shutoffs. Send your association's renovation rules along with your photos so the estimate reflects them.
Can you turn a tub into a walk-in shower for an older parent?
Yes, it is a request we hear often. We remove the tub, build a shower with a low curb or curbless entry where the floor allows, add a handheld sprayer, a seat and grab bars anchored into solid backing, and use slip-resistant floor tile. Tell us who will use the shower and any mobility needs so the heights and positions fit them.
Do I need a permit to remodel my bathroom in Delray Beach?
It depends on the work. Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits or changing the layout requires a building permit, and some jurisdictions also require one for certain replacements. When a permit applies, it is pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Delray Beach building department (or Palm Beach County for unincorporated addresses west of town), and inspections are scheduled as the job progresses. The estimate tells you which parts of your project need it.
Does hurricane season affect my remodel?
It can. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30. If a storm threatens, we secure the work area and pause, and we avoid leaving you without a working bathroom right before a forecast storm. Afterward, material deliveries and inspections may slow down across South Florida. We build some room into the schedule and keep you informed by text.
What if something fails after the remodel is finished?
Tell us. Send a photo or short video of the issue by text or WhatsApp, and we come back to look at it. If it is related to our work, we make it right. Because we photograph the waterproofing and the inside of the walls before closing them, we can usually see quickly what is behind a problem without tearing out new tile.
