Trusted Bathroom Remodeling for Riverside Homeowners
Most bathroom remodels in Riverside, CA run between $9,000 and $28,000, and the final number depends on square footage, fixture choices, and whether you’re moving plumbing. At Penhallow Remodeling Riverside, we put a written price in front of you before a single tile is pulled. Trevor Nash leads our team, and we’ve spent years remodeling bathrooms across the Inland Empire under the Kingswell standard: a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every project. A real person answers our phone 24/7 at (341) 895-1170.
Bathroom Remodeling Contractor
A Bathroom Remodeling Contractor is a licensed general contractor who handles the full scope of a bathroom renovation: demolition, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, tile setting, fixture installation, and finish carpentry. In Riverside, homeowners call us when a bathroom has water damage behind the walls, a layout that no longer works for aging parents, or a shower that has failed its waterproofing. We also offer Bathroom Remodeling in San Bernardino for nearby homeowners with similar issues. A typical bathroom remodel with Penhallow Remodeling Riverside runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on layout changes, tile choices, and fixture grade. We name the price before the work starts.
Full Gut Renovations
When we take a bathroom down to the studs, we replace the substrate, waterproof the wet areas, and rebuild the space to current Riverside code. Every full renovation includes a written scope of work and a line-item price.
Cosmetic Updates
Not every project requires moving walls. We replace vanities, countertops, shower surrounds, and flooring for homeowners who want a new bathroom without a full gut. The same written guarantee applies either way.
Styles & brands we work with
Walk In Shower
A Walk In Shower replaces a traditional tub or cramped shower stall with a curbless or low-threshold shower that is easier to step into and safer for daily use. Riverside homeowners choose them for accessibility, easier cleaning, and the open look they give a small bathroom. A walk-in shower installation through Penhallow Remodeling Riverside typically runs $4,500 to $12,000, depending on tile choice, glass enclosure, and whether we’re relocating a drain. We install a cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) and a waterproofing membrane before any tile is set.
Accessibility-First Designs
For homeowners planning to age in place, we angle the floor toward a linear drain and reinforce the walls for grab bars. No step means no trip hazard, and the bench seat gives you a place to sit while you shower.
Custom Tile and Glass
We set porcelain or natural stone tile with a licensed glass subcontractor handling the enclosure. Your written price includes the glass panel, hardware, and the waterproofing behind everything.
Bathroom Remodeling Companies
Bathroom Remodeling Companies in Riverside range from solo operators with a pickup truck to full-service general contractors with showrooms and design staff. The difference shows up in guarantee language, written pricing, and who answers the phone when a grout line cracks six months later. Penhallow Remodeling Riverside operates under the Kingswell Guarantee, which has required written prices and written warranties since 2004. A full bathroom remodel with our team runs $9,000 to $28,000. We are one of the few Bathroom Remodeling in Ontario and Riverside area companies that hands you a written number before any work begins.
What to Verify Before Hiring
Ask any contractor to put the price in writing, name the waterproofing system they use, and show you their guarantee before you sign. If they hesitate on any of those three, keep looking.
Why Written Prices Matter
A verbal estimate is a starting point, not a promise. Our written price is the number on the invoice, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we return at no charge if the work fails inside a year.
Bathroom Renovation
A Bathroom Renovation is a broader term than a remodel: it often includes layout changes, moving plumbing lines, updating electrical, and bringing a bathroom up to current California building standards. Homeowners in Riverside take this on when a bathroom is original to a 1970s or 1980s house and has failing grout, low water pressure, or a cast iron tub that is rusting from the inside. Renovations usually cost $9,000 to $28,000 here, with the higher end covering plumbing relocation and custom tile work. Trevor Nash reviews every project scope personally before it goes to the crew.
Plumbing and Electrical Upgrades
When we move a drain or add a dedicated circuit for heated flooring, we pull the proper Riverside permits and schedule inspections. You pay the written price, not a change order when the inspector shows up.
Water Damage Remediation
Homes in the Inland Empire deal with hard water and old galvanized pipes. If we open a wall and find rot behind the shower valve, we show you photos and give you a written line item for the repair before we proceed.
Small Bathroom Remodel
A Small Bathroom Remodel focuses on a half bath, guest bath, or hall bath usually under 50 square feet. In Riverside, these project typically run $5,000 to $12,000 when you keep the existing plumbing locations and swap the vanity, toilet, flooring, and light fixture. We also provide Bathroom Remodeling - Mira Loma with the same pricing structure and guarantee. Penhallow Remodeling Riverside handles these projects with the same written guarantee as a full primary bath remodel. You don’t get a smaller promise because the room is smaller.
Maximizing a Compact Footprint
In a 5-by-8 bathroom, every inch counts. We recommend wall-mounted vanities, elongated toilets, and large-format tile with fewer grout lines to make the room feel bigger than it is.
Guest Bath Priorities
A guest bath gets intermittent use, so we focus on moisture resistance and low-maintenance surfaces rather than luxury upgrades. The result is a bathroom that stays clean with minimal effort and won’t grow mold in the grout.
Shower Remodel
A Shower Remodel replaces the shower pan, walls, valve, and trim without touching the rest of the bathroom. In Riverside, we see shower failures most commonly in homes built before 1990, when waterproofing standards were looser and showers were often set on a mortar bed with no pan liner. Shower remodels through Penhallow Remodeling Riverside run $3,000 to $8,500 depending on tile and valve choice. We replace the valve, the pan, the drain, and the waterproofing in one pass.
Failed Shower Pan Replacement
When a shower pan leaks, water seeps into the subfloor and rots the framing below. We remove the old pan, inspect the joists, and install a modern PVC or hot-mop pan before rebuilding the shower floor.
Valve and Trim Upgrades
Old mixing valves wear out, and replacement valves from Kohler or Moen give you pressure balancing and scald protection. We set the new valve in a reinforced wall and trim it out clean.
Tub to Shower Conversion
A Tub to Shower Conversion removes a bathtub and builds a shower in the same footprint, which is the most practical upgrade for Riverside homeowners who never use the tub and want easier access. These conversions run $3,500 to $10,000 depending on whether we relocate the drain, add a bench, or install a glass enclosure. The existing drain line often works as-is, which keeps the price down and the schedule short. We handle the full conversion, including the tub removal and disposal.
Retaining the Footprint
When we keep the drain where it is, the project moves faster and costs less. The old tub footprint becomes a 60-inch shower with a low threshold, grab bars if you want them, and a waterproofed surround.
Access for Aging in Place
Stepping over a tub wall is the most common fall risk in a bathroom. A low-threshold shower removes that risk, and we reinforce the wall blocking for future grab bars at no extra cost.
One Day Bath Remodel
A One Day Bath Remodel is a same-day installation of a new shower or tub surround using a prefabricated wall system rather than site-built tile. In Riverside, these projects work well for a single bathroom home where a multi-week remodel is not practical. A one-day bath through Penhallow Remodeling Riverside runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on the surround material and fixture package. We still waterproof the substrate and set the valve correctly; speed does not mean skipping steps.
Prefabricated Surround Systems
We use engineered stone or acrylic surround panels that lock together without grout lines. The material is non-porous, which means it won’t absorb hard water minerals the way some tile does in Riverside’s water.
What One Day Does Not Include
Layout changes, plumbing relocation, and custom tile are separate from a one-day installation. If you want those, we will tell you plainly and give you the real timeline and price.

AfterBrands We Service
We install and service products from Kohler, Moen, Delta, Toto, and Grohe, and we trust these brands because their warranties stand behind the work the same way our guarantee does. When you choose a Moen valve or a Kohler tub, you get the manufacturer’s warranty layered on top of our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
We also work with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, and KraftMaid or Wellborn cabinetry when a bathroom remodel includes a custom vanity. Whether your project calls for a standard Moen trim kit or a fully custom vanity in a Caesarstone top, we spec the product, name the price, and install it correctly.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Grout cracking in the shower floor. Water gets behind the tile and into the subfloor, where it rots wood and feeds mold. The longer it sits, the larger the repair becomes.
- A soft spot in the floor near the toilet. A failing wax ring or a slow toilet leak swells the subfloor. If the floor feels spongy, the damage is already underneath it.
- Water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom. This is almost always a failed shower pan or supply line leak. The stain means the leak has already saturated the framing above the drywall ceiling.
- That persistent sewer smell. A bad wax ring or a cracked drain line lets sewer gas into the house. It is not just unpleasant; it is a health and safety concern.
- Mold on the lower wall behind the vanity. Bathroom exhaust fans in older Riverside homes are often underpowered. Mold at the wall base means the wall cavity is holding moisture, and it will not dry out on its own.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and talk to a person. A live person answers at (341) 895-1170, 24/7. We ask about the problem, your timeline, and what you want the bathroom to do for you. You get an appointment window, not a “sometime next week.”
- 2
On-site evaluation. Trevor or a lead technician walks the bathroom with you, takes moisture readings behind visible tile where possible, and checks the framing, plumbing, and electrical. You hear what we find and what it costs to fix.
- 3
Written proposal. We give you a written line-item price covering materials, labor, permits, and disposal. The number on day one is the number on the invoice, no change orders unless you ask for more work.
- 4
Permits, demo, and build. We pull Riverside permits, schedule inspections, and protect the rest of the house with floor protection and dust barriers. The crew is background-checked and uniformed on every visit.
- 5
Walkthrough and written warranty. We walk the finished bathroom with you, address any concerns, and hand you a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside the year, we return and fix it at no charge.
How Much Does Bathroom Remodeling Cost in Riverside?
A primary bathroom remodel in Riverside typically runs $9,000 to $28,000. A small guest bath or half bath runs $5,000 to $12,000. A walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000, a tub-to-shower conversion $3,500 to $10,000, and a shower-only remodel $3,000 to $8,500. The largest cost drivers are plumbing relocation, tile selection, custom glass, and whether the project requires asbestos abatement or re-framing. Riverside homes built before the 1980s often hide cast iron drain lines and non-standard stud spacing, which can add labor hours.
You avoid overpaying by getting written line-item pricing rather than a lump sum without detail. A lump sum can hide vague allowances and change-order traps. Our proposal names the exact shower valve, the tile, the vanity, the labor hours, and the permit fees. Free estimates include a walkthrough and a written proposal you can review at your own pace.
