Bathroom remodeling in Fort Pierce, as we do it, centers on the hard surfaces of the room: stone vanity tops, showers rebuilt from the waterproofing out, tub-to-shower conversions, slab shower walls and new tile floors, planned together so the materials belong to one design.
We come at bathrooms as a granite and marble shop, so the stone is cut by the same people who plan the room. Owners working on kitchen remodeling in Fort Pierce North often fold a vanity or a shower into the same project, and a remnant from the kitchen slab can sometimes become the vanity top. Moving a shower valve, drain or supply line is licensed plumbing work under Florida rules, as is new wiring for a fan or heated floor; at the estimate we spell out which of those your design triggers and how that part is handled.
Each part of the room has its own page: vanity countertops, shower remodeling, tub-to-shower conversion, stone shower walls and bathroom tile flooring.

A bathroom remodel with us is planned as one room, not a string of separate trades. The first visit covers the whole space: we measure, press on the floor by the toilet and tub, check the grout and caulk in the shower and note where the drain, valve and vanity plumbing sit today. That tells us what can stay and what has to move. The written estimate splits the job into its parts, from demolition and waterproofing to shower walls, floor tile and the vanity top, so each one carries its own price and you can trim scope if the budget needs it. Stone pieces, whether a vanity top, a bench or a curb cap, are cut in our shop from the slab you pick. The parts that require a licensed trade, such as moving a valve, adding a fan circuit or changing a wall, appear as separate lines with a note on how each is handled.
- A free in-home visit to measure the room and look at the existing shower, tub, vanity and floor
- Plain answers on what your plan triggers, from plumbing moves to permits, and how those parts are handled
- A written estimate that breaks out demolition, waterproofing, shower walls, floor tile and vanity top
- Tear-out of old tile, tub or fiberglass surround, vanity top and flooring, with the rest of the house protected
- A waterproof membrane in the wet areas before any tile or stone goes up, then tile or slab shower walls and floors, and stone vanity tops templated with the sink and faucet on site
- Cleanup and a walk-through covering sealing and care for each surface
Signs a Treasure Coast Bathroom Is Due for a Remodel
Bathrooms in 1970s and 80s homes around Fort Pierce tend to show their age in the same few places. Any one of these deserves a look, and two or three together usually mean the room is ready:
- A soft or cracked floor by the toilet or tub: water has been working under the tile for some time
- Mildew that returns days after cleaning: often a bath that relies on a window instead of an exhaust fan
- Crazed or cracked cultured-marble vanity tops: typical of the era and not something a patch brings back
- A tub that has become hard to step over: the starting point for most walk-in shower conversions
- Original pink, blue or green tile: sound on the surface, but set over whatever waterproofing the house was built with
We check each of these at the estimate and tell you which need attention now and which can wait for a later phase.
What Can a Bathroom Remodel in Fort Pierce Include?
Scope comes first, because it sets the budget, the schedule and the permits. Most projects fall into one of four sizes.
| Scope | What gets replaced | What it often triggers |
|---|---|---|
| Vanity top swap | Countertop and sink, with the faucet and drain reconnected in place | Usually nothing beyond the same-location sink |
| Shower and flooring remodel | Shower walls, base, membrane and floor tile | Plumbing work if the valve or drain moves |
| Tub-to-shower conversion | Tub out, low-threshold shower in | Drain and valve changes, often a permit |
| Full primary bath | Everything above plus layout changes | Plumbing, electrical and possibly structural permits |
A shower and flooring remodel is where doing two jobs at once saves the most trouble. The floor tile has to meet the shower curb or threshold anyway, both surfaces come out in the same round of demolition, and the colors can be chosen side by side instead of matched to something already installed.
Design Choices for a Master Bath Remodel in Fort Pierce
The biggest cost lever in any bathroom is whether the plumbing stays put. Keeping the toilet, shower drain and vanity where they are lets the budget go into materials. Moving them adds licensed plumbing work, and on a slab-on-grade Florida house it can mean cutting concrete.
- Tub or shower: many owners keep one tub elsewhere in the house and turn the primary bath tub into a walk-in shower
- Walls: tile is flexible and economical, while slab walls in marble, quartz or porcelain cut grout lines down to a few joints
- Vanity: a double vanity typically needs 60 inches or more of wall, and a single with extra counter can suit a smaller primary bath
- Floor: matte or textured tile for grip, with smaller pieces in the shower so the floor can slope to the drain
- Air: Bestplaces records 54.7 inches of yearly rain for ZIP 34945, versus 38 nationally, so a working exhaust fan matters as much as any finish
How Does a Bathroom Renovation in St. Lucie County Run?
- Protect floors and hallways, then remove fixtures, tile and the old surround
- Inspect what is behind the walls and under the tub, and agree on any repairs
- Plumbing changes, if the plan has any, handled as set out at the estimate
- Backer board, a sloped shower base and the waterproof membrane
- Shower walls and floor tile, then grout and sealant
- Vanity top, sink and fixtures back in place, final cleanup
Timing follows scope. A vanity top is a short visit once it is fabricated. A shower rebuild takes longer because the membrane and setting materials need to cure between steps, and any inspection has to fit the schedule; FL Permit Help puts approval of simple trade permits at one to five business days. We write the expected sequence into the estimate so you can plan around a bathroom being out of service.

Caring for Stone and Tile in a Humid Florida Bathroom
- Run the exhaust fan during and after showers, and squeegee the walls so water does not sit on the joints
- Reseal marble and granite on schedule; quartz and porcelain need no sealer
- Keep acidic and bleach-heavy cleaners off marble, where they etch and dull the polish
- Watch the flexible caulk at the curb, corners and tub deck, and replace any that cracks, since that is where water finds its way behind a wall
How the Job Runs, Step by Step
- Call about your bathroom. Tell us what bothers you about the room now and which parts you want changed. We set up a visit on a weekday, or on a weekend by request.
- Measure and look closely. We measure, check the shower and floor for signs of water damage and talk through materials and layout.
- Written scope and price. The estimate lists each part of the job and notes any plumbing, electrical or permit items and how they are handled.
- Template the stone. Once the room is ready, vanity tops and slab walls are templated, with your chosen sink in the house.
- Demolition and rebuild. Old surfaces come out, the wet areas are waterproofed, and walls and floors go in.
- Install, clean and walk through. The vanity top and fixtures go back, the room is cleaned and we explain how to care for each surface.

What Affects the Price
Every bathroom gets a written estimate after we measure it and see as much of what is behind the surfaces as we can. We do not publish bath prices; these factors move yours:
- Scope: vanity top only, shower and floor, or the whole room
- Whether the shower drain, valve or toilet stays in place or moves
- Wall material: ceramic or porcelain tile, porcelain slab, quartz panels or marble
- Hidden damage found at tear-out, such as wet backer board or a soft floor by the toilet
- Floor area, tile type and any leveling of an uneven slab
- Niches, benches, grab-bar blocking and the glass enclosure
- A new or relocated exhaust fan and its duct, which brings in an electrician
- Condo requirements such as a floor membrane, limited work hours or elevator bookings
- A second bathroom done in the same project, which can share a slab and a work schedule
Bathroom Permits in St. Lucie County, Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce
Florida licenses the trades, not the room. DBPR counts tile and countertop work among trades with no state license requirement. Pipes, wiring and walls are another matter, so a bathroom with a moved drain or a new fan circuit holds both kinds of work.
Your address decides the office. Fort Pierce North, Lakewood Park and other unincorporated areas file with the county's Building & Code Regulation Division; Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce each have their own building departments. Fees track job valuation, with a $100 floor inside Fort Pierce (Jaspector, 2026) and a $75 county minimum (Pineland Engineering). The state's 9th Edition building code takes effect December 31, 2026, so ask which edition applies to a bathroom permit filed near that date.

Where We Install Bathroom Remodeling
Near the 55+ communities around Lakewood Park, walk-in showers and slip-resistant floors make sense for many owners, while in Port St. Lucie builder-grade baths in newer homes are ready for stone tops and better showers. We also remodel condo bathrooms on Hutchinson Island South and baths in the single-story block homes of Fort Pierce South.
- Fort Pierce North: Our shop's home community, unincorporated and on county permits, with many original baths in 1980s block homes.
- Lakewood Park: Near Spanish Lakes and other 55+ communities, many owners plan baths for aging in place.
- Port St. Lucie: Fast-grown subdivisions hold builder baths with cultured-marble tops and fiberglass tub surrounds.
- Hutchinson Island South: Oceanfront condo baths need association sign-off and leak protection for the unit below.
- Fort Pierce South: County permits apply here, and many single-story block homes still have their first bathroom tile.
- Fort Pierce: City addresses file plumbing and electrical permits separately with the City of Fort Pierce.
- River Park: 1960s–70s canal and wooded-lot homes often have original showers worth opening up and checking.
- Vero Beach South: Established 1970s–90s neighborhoods where a dated hall bath gets a vanity, floor and shower together.
- Brevard County: South Brevard's 1960s beachside ranch homes are strong candidates for a bath update with new stone vanity tops.
Bathroom Remodeling FAQs
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
It depends on scope. A stone vanity top goes in during one visit once it is fabricated. A shower and floor remodel takes longer, because demolition, any plumbing work, the waterproof membrane, walls and grout each need their turn and cure time, and permits add review and inspection. We give you a written sequence at the estimate so you know how long the room will be out of use.
Do you replace showers and flooring together?
Yes, and it is often the smarter order. The floor tile has to meet the shower curb or threshold, so doing both at once avoids patching new tile against old, and it means a single round of demolition and dust. We set the floor height around the shower entry and pick both tiles together so colors and grout lines relate.
Can you fix water damage behind the old shower?
We find it, show you and plan around it. Once the old tile or surround is off, wet or crumbling backer board and drywall are cut out and replaced before the new membrane goes on. If framing, the subfloor or a pipe is damaged, we explain what that repair involves and how it is handled before rebuilding, and the change goes into the written scope.
Do bathroom remodels need a permit in St. Lucie County?
Some do. Swapping a vanity and putting its sink back in the same spot falls under the county's exemptions, but moving a shower valve, drain or supply line is licensed plumbing work that generally needs a permit, as does new wiring. Homes inside Fort Pierce city limits go through the city's building department rather than the county's, and we sort out which office is yours during the estimate.
Can you remodel a bathroom in a condo?
Yes. Condo baths usually come with association rules on work hours, elevator use, debris removal and sometimes waterproofing under the floor, since a leak reaches the unit below. Ask your board or manager for their requirements early; we can supply the scope and material list they typically want to see. A vanity top is small enough to carry up most elevators.
