Failure in a pan or valve sends water downward ahead of any visible sign. The joint or layer that failed is traced as the source, and the repair is put to the test with water running before the room is finished.

Bathrooms in Santa Monica run from condo bathrooms in larger buildings to bathrooms in single-family homes near the coast, and the building shapes the work. A condo bathroom usually brings building rules to coordinate, shared hallways to protect, and an existing plumbing layout to work within, while a house bathroom may open the way to layout changes and drain moves. The job is planned around the building as well as the room.
Shower rebuilds, vanity and tile updates, and waterproofing repairs head the list for Santa Monica homeowners and condo owners, with full remodels beside them when a layout needs to change. The services below cover that range.

The sequence is the same on every Santa Monica job: look first, agree the scope in writing, then build. The steps below follow a remodel through condos and homes, with access and building rules agreed up front.
With you, we walk the bathroom in Santa Monica, measure, and talk through what is not working, checking shutoffs, drains, and the subfloor along the way. Access and building rules are agreed before a final scope is priced.
Layout, work, and finishes are listed in the written scope you receive. Tile, fixtures, and glass are selected together, and lead times are confirmed before a start date is set.
Shared spaces and the room itself are protected, old finishes come out, and framing, plumbing, and electrical work goes in to the new plan. Rough work is checked before tile and finishes begin.
Tile is set and the pan flood-tested, then vanity, toilet, and glass are installed and tested. Finishes go in last, in the order the plan calls for.
Valves, drains, and the shower itself are all run and tested before the room is walked with you. You receive a written workmanship warranty and our direct line for anything that comes up after.
The signs Santa Monica homeowners call about most are set out below. If one sounds familiar, an estimate visit will tell you whether the fix is a repair or a rebuild.
Ask a pro →Failure in a pan or valve sends water downward ahead of any visible sign. The joint or layer that failed is traced as the source, and the repair is put to the test with water running before the room is finished.
Crumbly grout and caulk coming open usually signal water sitting behind the surface. Joints repaired over a dry base, with ventilation checked, hold the room dry between showers.
Where drains or walls cannot readily move in a condo bathroom, updating within the layout still has room to change how it looks and works. Surface, fixture, vanity, and shower work is scoped honestly to what the building allows.
A dripping faucet, a valve running hot and cold, or corroded trim all point to worn parts. The fixture and the parts behind the wall are replaced, restoring normal use without rebuilding the room.

How much the work costs depends on room size, layout change, movement of plumbing or electrical work, tile and fixtures chosen, and what is found behind the walls. Each Santa Monica job starts with a free written estimate after the room is seen, and the scope and the price are given in writing before any work begins.
Yes. Access and building rules agreed before work begins shape condo and apartment jobs, with protection for shared spaces and the order of work set out in advance. Tell us about your building on the estimate call and the job will be planned around its rules.
Moving plumbing, electrical, or structure usually calls for a permit, while a like-for-like swap often needs none. Whether a permit is needed depends on the scope of the work and the city your home is in (in the City of Los Angeles, that is the Department of Building and Safety; other cities have their own building departments, and unincorporated areas go through Los Angeles County), and we confirm what your job needs before work begins, so there are no surprises. If you own a condo, your homeowners association's approval is separate from a city permit, so bring your HOA's rules to the free written estimate.
