Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Lake Worth Beach, FL — tub-to-shower conversions, shower and floor tile, new vanities and fixtures, and the painting and drywall that finish the room. Each job is priced as a project, with a free estimate built from the photos and measurements you send by phone or WhatsApp. Our crew speaks English and Spanish.
Homeowners in Lake Worth Beach rarely call us because they want a bathroom that looks like a magazine. They call because the shower door no longer seals, the floor tile has cracked, the exhaust fan barely moves air, or a parent needs a safer way to bathe. We plan the remodel around those practical problems first, then help choose finishes that hold up to daily use and South Florida humidity.
To get an estimate, send pictures to (786) 788-8714 on WhatsApp or as a text message. Show us every wall of the bathroom, the ceiling around the fan, the floor near the toilet and any spot where you have seen water or soft drywall. Include rough measurements and a short note about what bothers you most. Spanish-speaking staff can take it from there if you prefer.

Old tile, cast iron and plaster: older-house bathrooms
Lake Worth Beach is known for 1920s-to-1940s bungalows and cottages on compact, tree-lined lots; Lantana adds 1960s and 1970s condos, and the area west of I-95 is gated and 55-plus communities.
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.

Updating a bathroom in a 55-plus or villa community
Low-rise condos, villas and 55-plus communities in Lake Worth Beach are full of bathrooms built around a tub that has become hard to step into. The most common project here is a tub-to-shower conversion with a low curb or curbless entry, a handheld sprayer, a fold-down or built-in seat and grab bars anchored into solid backing. It keeps the original footprint, which makes approvals and plumbing simpler.
Associations in these communities usually still want to know about the work. Expect a short application, a certificate of insurance, set working hours and rules on where the dumpster or debris bags can go. Shared plumbing walls and water shutoffs that affect a whole building are common, so we coordinate any shutoff with the association or neighbors in advance and keep it as short as we can.
How we run a Lake Worth Beach bathroom remodel
- 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 Lake Worth Beach or Town of Lantana building department, or Palm Beach County for unincorporated addresses 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.
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 Lake Worth Beach — questions we get asked
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.
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.
How do you keep mold and mildew out of a new bathroom?
South Florida humidity is hard on bathrooms, so we start behind the tile: a waterproof membrane in the shower, cement board instead of standard drywall in wet areas and a proper slope to the drain. Then we use mildew-resistant grout and silicone, and replace weak fans with ones vented outside. If we find existing mold during demolition, we show you photos before continuing.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Spanish-speaking staff can handle the whole project, from reviewing your photos and explaining the estimate to talking with family members during the work. Write to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp in whichever language you prefer, and tell us if someone in the household is more comfortable in Spanish so we keep them in the loop.
How long will my bathroom remodel take?
It depends on scope, permits and materials. A cosmetic refresh on the existing layout is usually a matter of days. A shower rebuild takes longer because waterproofing, tile and glass each need their own time, and a full remodel with permits runs longer still, mostly because of permit review, inspections and special-order lead times. Your written schedule spells it out before work starts.
