Gold Hands offers bathroom remodeling in Miami Beach, FL — from a hall-bath refresh with a new vanity and toilet to a full gut with a tiled walk-in shower. We work across Miami-Dade County and price each bathroom as its own project. Text photos and measurements to (786) 788-8714 or send them on WhatsApp, and we return a free estimate built from what you sent.

Most bathroom calls in Miami Beach start with one problem that opens the door to a bigger update: a tub nobody uses anymore, a shower pan that has started to leak, grout that stays dark no matter how it is cleaned, or a vanity swollen at the base. Some owners want a quick refresh before selling or renting. Others want the room rebuilt around a walk-in shower with grab bars and better light.

The fastest way to start is a few photos sent to (786) 788-8714 by text or WhatsApp. Take one wide shot from the doorway, one of the tub or shower, one of the vanity with the cabinet open, and one of the floor. Add rough measurements of the room and the shower area. We reply with questions or a per-project estimate, in English or Spanish.

Condo tower bathrooms: approvals, elevators and slabs

Miami Beach holds one of the largest concentrations of 1920s-to-1940s Art Deco and Mediterranean low-rise buildings in the country, mid-century MiMo blocks in North Beach and oceanfront towers along Collins Avenue.

Owners in towers around South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach and Normandy Isles often want the same thing: replace the original builder bathroom, swap the tub for a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and update the vanity and lighting to match the rest of the renovated unit. That is very doable in a high-rise as long as the layout mostly stays put, because the slab, the shared risers and the association rules make relocating drains costly and slow.

Before we quote, it helps to have your building's renovation rules or contractor packet. Those documents tell us the allowed hours, the insurance wording, flooring requirements and any deposits the association collects. From there, our estimate reflects how the building actually works. If the plan includes permitted work, our general contractor partner pulls the permit and we coordinate inspection access with management.

Remodeling bathrooms in Miami Beach's older homes

Houses built from the 1920s through the 1960s around South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach and Normandy Isles often still have their original bathroom bones: tile set in a thick mortar bed, plaster walls, a cast-iron tub and cast-iron or galvanized pipes behind it. Some owners want to keep the character, meaning the vintage tile, the window and the proportions, and update only the fixtures. Others want everything new. Both are fair choices, and we price them differently.

Opening walls in an older house means planning for what is inside. Galvanized supply lines are often narrowed with rust, and cast-iron drains can be cracked along the bottom. When we see those, we photograph them and tell you before going further. Replacing drain or supply lines is permitted plumbing work handled through our general contractor partner, and it is usually smarter to do it while the walls are already open.

From photos to finished bathroom: our process

  1. Send photos and measurements by phone or WhatsApp. Wide shots of each wall, the floor and the ceiling help most. You receive a free estimate priced for the whole project, not by the hour.
  2. Agree on the plan in writing: the scope, the finishes you have chosen, which items you buy and which we source, and a schedule that accounts for special-order tile or glass.
  3. Handle permits: plumbing, electrical and layout changes are permitted work. Those permits are pulled by our general contractor partner with the City of Miami Beach building department, and inspections are scheduled at the right stages of the job.
  4. Build the bathroom: the crew tears out, checks the framing and pipes it uncovers, waterproofs the wet areas, sets tile, installs the vanity, toilet, glass and fixtures, then paints and caulks.
  5. Walk through it together: we run the water, check for leaks and finish details with you, then send photos documenting the waterproofing, the finished room and care notes for grout and glass.

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 Miami Beach — questions we get asked

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.

Which bathroom fixtures hold up near the beach?

Salt air is hard on cheap chrome and plain steel. Near the water we suggest solid brass valves and faucets with durable finishes, stainless towel bars and fasteners, and fans with corrosion-resistant housings. Pair that with a fan vented outdoors and mildew-resistant grout, and the bathroom will age much better. We can review the products you are considering before you order.

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.

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.

What is not included in a bathroom remodel?

We do not fabricate stone countertops; a stone shop makes them and we coordinate the template and install. Permitted plumbing, electrical and layout changes go through our general contractor partner rather than our own crew. We also do not do large-scale mold remediation, which needs a specialist. Anything outside the written scope is discussed and agreed before it happens, never added quietly.
