Bathroom Remodeling in Marina del Rey - Fixed Price, Set Finish Date

Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Marina del Rey

A full bathroom remodel in Marina del Rey typically runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the two factors that swing that number most are whether you’re in a marina-facing condo with Coastal Commission oversight and how much rotted subfloor we find once the old tile comes up. Call (936) 259-2607 for a written price before any work starts. We coordinate LA County Department of Public Works permits, HOA plan review, and Coastal Commission submittals so your bathroom doesn’t sit gutted while committees deliberate.

Penhallow Remodeling works across Marina del Rey daily, from the condo towers along Admiralty Way to the older complexes off Mindanao Way and the marina-facing units near Bora Bora Way. Trevor Nash runs our Bathroom Remodeling team with one rule: the number we write on day one is the number on your final invoice. No verbal ballpark that drifts after demo. No change order surprises when the wall opens up.

Why Penhallow Remodeling Is Marina del Rey’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company

Marina del Rey homeowners deal with a permitting reality that contractors from Venice or Culver City rarely expect. This is unincorporated LA County. Permits run through LA County’s Department of Public Works portal and inspection pool, not LADBS. The fee schedule, the inspector who shows up, and the approval calendar are all different from what those same crews handled three blocks north. We file through the correct portal the first time, which is why our Marina del Rey jobs don’t stall at the permit counter.

Bathroom work in Marina del Rey’s housing stock means something specific: 1960s to 1980s concrete-frame and wood-frame condo complexes, nearly all HOA-governed, with property management layers that must sign off before we open a wall. We front-load the plan review, submit to the county while you’re still using the bathroom, and schedule demolition only after the association and the inspector clear the scope. That is not how most crews sequence the job, and it is why a Marina del Rey remodel done wrong can leave you with a gutted bath and no toilet set for six weeks.

Every Penhallow technician who walks into your Marina del Rey home is background-checked and wears a uniform. A live person answers our phone 24/7. And every job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails inside a year, we return and fix it at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee, no argument.

Small Bathroom Remodel in Marina del Rey

A Small Bathroom Remodel in Marina del Rey runs $5,000 to $12,000 and usually involves replacing the vanity, fixture trim, toilet, lighting, and tile while keeping the existing footprint. In the older condo complexes along Washington Boulevard and Mindanao Way, these bathrooms are often 35 to 50 square feet, which means the challenge isn’t square footage, it’s what hides behind the walls: corroded fasteners, thin subfloor, and plumbing stacks that have not been touched since the building went up.

What We Typically Replace

Most small bath remodels here include a new vanity and countertop, fresh tile or a tub surround, updated Moen or Kohler fixtures rated for coastal exposure, and a new toilet. If the subfloor reads soft or the drain flange shows salt corrosion, we address that before any finish material goes in. You do not want new tile laid over a floor that will flex and crack within a year.

HOA and Permit Coordination

Because nearly every Marina del Rey unit sits in a multi-unit association, we submit the scope to your HOA before we pull the LA County permit. That front-loading keeps the calendar moving. The average small bath remodel in Marina del Rey takes 2 to 3 weeks once approvals clear, and we give you a written timeline along with the written price.

Shower Remodel in Marina del Rey

A Shower Remodel in Marina del Rey typically runs $3,000 to $12,000 depending on whether you’re replacing a tub with a walk-in shower, rebuilding a failing tile surround, or installing a frameless glass enclosure. The salt air off the boat slips is the wildcard here. We regularly see shower valve trim and fasteners corroded to white powder long before the tile shows visible failure, which means the real scope is often behind the wall, not on the surface.

Walk-In Shower Conversions

Tub-to-shower conversions run $3,500 to $10,000 and are the most common shower project in Marina del Rey’s older condos. We re-set the drain to code, rebuild the cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and install a waterproofing membrane that holds up to the shallow water table common in this filled coastal ground. A properly detailed shower pan matters more here than it does three miles inland.

Frameless Glass and Coastal Hardware

Frameless glass enclosures run within the same $4,500 to $12,000 walk-in range. Any hinge, bracket, or fastener on a marina-facing elevation gets specified in stainless or hot-dip galvanized. That is not an upgrade we pitch, it’s the only way hardware survives direct salt exposure without seizing or staining. We pair the glass with Moen or Kohler fixtures engineered for coastal environments.

Trusted Brands We Service in Marina del Rey

We install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry because the products behind our guarantee need to hold up as well as the workmanship does. Cambria quartz carries its own lifetime warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise, so a vanity top or shower surround has two layers of protection. For Marina del Rey customers, we keep common replacement parts and trim stocked locally so a finish item that fails under the salt air gets swapped fast. If you have a specific brand you want serviced, ask us when you call for the estimate, and we’ll tell you straight whether it fits the scope.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Marina del Rey Homes

• Salt-air corrosion behind the wall. Original 1970s vanity fasteners, shower valve trim, and drain flanges in marina-facing units corrode to white powder years before tile fails. A cosmetic refresh over corroded plumbing comes back in a year.
• Soft subfloor from the shallow water table. The filled coastal ground under Marina del Rey keeps the water table unusually high for a Southern California lot. Unsealed below-slab areas and old subfloor rot under a shower pan, and new tile over that flex will crack within months.
• LADBS assumptions that stall the permit. Contractors who normally pull LADBS permits assume the same fee schedule and inspection cadence, then watch a Marina del Rey bathroom sit gutted to the studs while LA County’s portal and inspector pool work on a different clock.
• HOA and property-management scheduling gaps. The concrete-frame condo complexes built in the 1960s through 1980s require association plan review before any wall opens. Any change to the scope or allowances cannot start until the association’s own review runs its course, and that leaves a half-finished bath with no toilet set if you don’t sequence around it.
