Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Georgetown
A full bathroom remodel in Georgetown, TX typically runs $9,000 – $28,000, with small bathrooms and shower-focused projects landing between $3,000 and $12,000 depending on scope. Our crews work across Georgetown weekly, from the Old Town district to the newer subdivisions off Williams Drive, and we answer the phone with a real person at (325) 225-5429. If you’re planning a bathroom remodel here, you’re dealing with a market that’s half historic preservation and half fast-growth construction, which means the permitting path and the price both shift based on exactly where your house sits.
We know Georgetown’s quirks because we work in them. A remodel in a 1970s ranch near Sun City has a different permit path than a bathroom in a 1920s Craftsman off Church Street. And a house on five acres outside city limits with a septic system is a whole different animal from a new build in a subdivision with city sewer. That local knowledge is why Georgetown homeowners call us for Bathroom Remodeling work that other contractors either underbid or won’t touch.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Austin Is Georgetown’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Georgetown homeowners have a specific kind of skepticism, and we understand where it comes from. They’ve watched contractors give a verbal number, then come back after demo day with a change order that doubles the price. That’s not how we operate. Trevor Nash runs Penhallow Remodeling on a simple standard: every job gets a written price before any work starts, a real arrival window, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the work fails inside that guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee, no argument.
Our technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform, so you know who’s walking into your home. We schedule Georgetown jobs with realistic lead times and show up in the window we gave you. And because we’re part of the Kingswell family of companies operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004, the promises we make are backed by a system, not a handshake. Say the price before the work. Show up in the window. Leave the job site cleaner than we found it.

Small Bathroom Remodel in Georgetown
A Small Bathroom Remodel in Georgetown usually means a half bath, guest bath, or hall bath under 50 square feet, and the work typically costs $5,000 – $12,000 here. In Georgetown’s older neighborhoods, these small baths often hide surprises: a toilet flange rotted through the subfloor, or a shower pan that’s been leaking into a pier-and-beam crawl space for a decade. We scope for those unknowns before we quote, because the written price should mean something.
What a Small Bathroom Remodel Includes
The typical scope covers a new vanity, faucet, toilet, lighting, exhaust fan, and either a refreshed tub/shower surround or a new acrylic shower base. If you’re keeping the footprint the same, you avoid moving drain lines, which keeps the price at the lower end of that range. A small bath in a 1980s ranch near Georgetown High School might only need a fixture swap and new tile; a 1940s bungalow in Old Town might need floor framing repairs before tile goes down.
Homes Where the Footprint Changes
Some Georgetown homeowners want to borrow two feet from an adjacent closet or hallway to make a small bath usable. That means relocating plumbing, possibly touching a load-bearing wall, and in Old Town, potentially triggering a Historic and Architectural Review Commission review if we’re altering an exterior wall or window opening. We map out all of that before the first permit is pulled, including whether we’re dealing with city of Georgetown permitting or county permitting for a home outside city limits.
Shower Remodel in Georgetown
A Shower Remodel in Georgetown typically runs $3,000 – $8,500 for a full shower replacement, and $3,500 – $10,000 when converting a tub to a walk-in shower. The price gap between those ends comes down to what’s behind the tile. Georgetown’s housing stock spans 1960s slab foundations, 1920s pier-and-beam homes, and 2010s tract builds, and each one has a different typical failure point in the shower.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion on a Pier-and-Beam Home
If your Georgetown home is in Old Town or one of the older neighborhoods off University Avenue, the bathroom floor probably sits on wood framing over a crawl space. A tub-to-shower conversion means a larger shower pan, which may require reinforcing floor joists below. We check the position of the joists and the condition of the subfloor before we quote, and if the floor has settled over native limestone piers, we account for leveling. That’s a normal part of the job here, not a surprise we spring on you during rough-in.
Walk-In Showers for Aging-in-Place
Georgetown has a strong over-55 population, particularly around Sun City and the newer communities along the I-35 corridor. A curbless walk-in shower with a built-in bench and grab-ready blocking is the most common request we see from homeowners planning to stay in their homes long-term. We install Moen and Kohler valves rated for thermostatic control, and we set the drain at the correct fall for the home’s system, city sewer or septic.
Trusted Brands We Service in Georgetown
We stock and install materials from brands that stand behind their products the way we stand behind our labor. That means Wellborn cabinetry for vanities, Cambria and Silestone quartz for countertops, and Caesarstone when a homeowner wants a specific color match. These aren’t off-brand substitutes. We install Cambria quartz, which carries its own lifetime warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise, so you’re covered by two layers of protection on the same surface. When we’re working on a Georgetown bathroom, we coordinate material delivery to our local job sites so you’re not waiting on a freight truck from Houston to release your vanity top.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Georgetown Homes
- Expansive clay soil cracking tile. In newer Georgetown subdivisions built on former ranchland, the soil under the slab is highly expansive clay. If a bathroom addition wasn’t scoped with a geotechnical check, floor tile can crack within two seasons as the ground swells and shrinks. We look at the foundation type and drainage before recommending a tile system.
- Pier-and-beam shoring issues. In Old Town, many homes sit on original 1890s – 1920s pier-and-beam foundations with native limestone piers. Moving a toilet or tub means shoring the floor and often triggering a Historic and Architectural Review Commission review. Skipping that step stalls the project for months.
- Septic and well setbacks conflicting with the plan. If your Georgetown acreage home is outside city limits, you’re on septic and well. Adding a bathroom or relocating a drain line changes the fixture count, which can push the septic system out of compliance with county setback rules. We check the drain line’s fall to the existing tank before rough-in, not after inspection.
- Bids that don’t account for county permits. Some Georgetown contractors quote a bathroom remodel as city-permitted work even when the house sits in unincorporated Williamson County. The county handles septic setback and well distance rules differently, and a permit issued under the wrong jurisdiction can stop the project cold. We verify the jurisdiction before we write the number.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown
They affect both the permit path and the design. If you’re outside Georgetown city limits, Williamson County reviews the septic system’s capacity against any increase in fixture count. Adding a bathroom or converting a half bath to a full bath may push the system out of compliance, which means the septic tank or drain field has to be evaluated before the bathroom permit is approved. We check the existing drain line’s fall to the tank and confirm setback distances from the well before we commit to a written price. Call (325) 225-5429 to talk through your specific property.
Yes, if you’re in the Old Town district and the replacement changes the exterior appearance, the opening size, or the vent location. The Historic and Architectural Review Commission, or HARC, reviews exterior changes on contributing structures, and a bathroom fan vent or a new window for a shower can trigger the process. We coordinate with HARC early so the review doesn’t stall your project for months. Call (325) 225-5429 if you’re unsure whether your house falls in the review district.
Because the floor is wood-framed over a crawl space, and any change to plumbing location or weight means shoring the joists. In Old Town, many homes sit on native limestone piers that have shifted over a century of Central Texas clay expansion and contraction, so leveling the bathroom floor is often part of the job. A slab foundation doesn’t have that variable. The price difference is real and we explain it in the written quote, not after demolition.
Yes, and this is a growing request across Georgetown’s acreage communities. The limiting factors are the same ones that affect the main house: septic capacity, well setbacks, and county building permits. A detached bathroom tied to a shop or ADU usually means new drain line runs to the existing septic tank or a separate holding tank, and Williamson County will review the fixture count before approval. We scope these jobs as county-permitted work from the start. Call (325) 225-5429 for a free site walk.
Rotted subfloor under the toilet flange. On older Georgetown homes, especially pier-and-beam houses from the 1920s – 1960s, a slow wax ring leak can rot the plywood decking before anyone notices. When the toilet comes up, the subfloor repair is right there in front of you, and it’s a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the extent. We include an allowance for subfloor repair in our written quote so it’s not a surprise line item. Call (325) 225-5429 to get your free estimate with the allowances spelled out.
