BathroomRemodeling in Wimberley, TX, From Layout to Final Tile
Western Standard Tile handles bathroom remodeling in Wimberley, TX and across the Hill Country, with custom tile at the heart of every room we rebuild.
A full bathroom remodel changes more than the finishes. It can reshape the layout, the shower, the vanity wall, the floor and the storage, and it touches every surface you see each morning. Western Standard Tile is a tile and remodeling company based in Wimberley, Texas, and bathrooms are the main focus of our work.
We take on bathroom remodeling in Wimberley, TX and for homeowners across Hays, Comal, Travis, Guadalupe and Bexar counties. Lee, the owner, is the third generation to own the company, and he keeps tile at the center of every bathroom plan. Hall baths, guest baths and primary suites all get the same careful prep.
Call (737) 335-5409 to talk through your bathroom. If only the shower needs work, our shower renovation service is a smaller job, and the full list of tile and remodeling services covers floors, repairs and other rooms.
When It Is Time
Signs Your Bathroom Is Ready for a Remodel
Most bathrooms show their age before anything fails outright. A few quick repairs can buy time, but some signs point to a full remodel instead:
- Grout that stays dark or crumbles even after a good cleaning
- Cracked or loose floor tile, or tile that sounds hollow underfoot
- Soft drywall, peeling paint or a musty smell near the shower
- A layout that wastes space or blocks the door
- A tub nobody uses taking up the best wall in the room
- Dated finishes you have stopped trying to fix
Hard water speeds up the wear in this part of Texas. The Wimberley Valley draws on the Trinity Aquifer, and that groundwater runs very hard, so mineral film builds on glass, grout and fixtures. If you scrub the same stains every week, a remodel is a chance to choose surfaces that clean up faster.
How We Work
Bathroom Remodeling in Wimberley, TX: Our Process
A good bathroom starts with a plan that fits the room, the budget and the way your household uses it. Our bathroom remodeling in Wimberley, TX moves through clear stages, so you always know what is being built and what is next.
-
Visit and Measure
We walk the bathroom with you, take measurements and talk about what is not working. We also note the drain locations, the floor condition and any signs of water damage.
-
Design and Tile Selection
We help you choose tile, layout and finishes that suit the room and the budget. You get an estimate for the work before anything is ordered or torn out.
-
Permits and Demolition
If the plan moves plumbing or walls, we settle whether a permit is needed before work starts. Then the old surfaces come out, and we check the subfloor and framing for hidden damage.
-
Waterproofing and Tile
Wet areas get a waterproof layer before any tile goes on. We then set the floor and wall tile, keep grout lines straight and seal what needs sealing.
-
Fixtures and Walkthrough
Fixtures, glass and trim go in last. We walk the finished room with you, clean up and make sure everything works the way it should.
Master Bathroom Remodel Ideas for Hill Country Homes
A master bathroom remodel is usually the largest bathroom project in a home, and it gives you the most room to plan. Many owners want a larger walk-in shower, a double vanity, better storage and a floor that feels solid underfoot. Some keep a soaking tub, while others trade it for more shower space.
Tile does much of the work in a primary suite. Large porcelain tile on the floor means fewer grout lines to clean, and shower tile that runs all the way to the ceiling makes the room feel taller. A niche built into the shower wall replaces a corner rack that rusts. We plan these details together, so the shower, floor and vanity wall share one look.
Hard water matters here too. We talk through glass, grout color and sealer choices that make weekly cleaning easier in a busy household, so the room still looks new years from now.
Small Bathroom Remodel Plans That Make Room
A small bathroom remodel calls for careful choices, since every inch counts. Hall baths, guest baths and tight rooms in older homes gain the most from a plan that clears clutter and opens floor space. A few changes make a small room work harder:
- A walk-in shower in place of a tub that rarely gets used
- A narrow or wall-hung vanity that frees up the floor
- Light, larger tile that makes the room read bigger
- Recessed niches instead of shelves that stick out
We measure door swings, clearances and fixture spacing before anything is ordered. When removing the tub is the main goal, our tub to shower conversion service handles that job by itself. A small room also needs fewer materials, which helps keep the budget in check.
Bathroom Tile Installation Done Right Below the Surface
Bathroom tile installation is where a remodel succeeds or fails. Tile that looks fine on day one can crack, loosen or leak within a few years if the floor flexes or the shower walls were never waterproofed. As a tile company first, we put as much care into what sits under the tile as into the tile itself.
On floors, we check that the subfloor is flat and stiff enough for the tile you chose. In showers, we build a waterproof layer behind the tile and slope the floor toward the drain, so water never sits. We plan the layout from the center of the room, so cut pieces land in corners instead of at the doorway.
We set ceramic, porcelain and other residential tile on floors, walls, shower surrounds and tub decks. Every piece is checked for level and spacing as it goes down, not after the grout dries.
Planning Your Budget
What Affects Bathroom Remodel Cost
Bathroom remodel cost depends on the size of the room, the scope of the work and the materials you choose. Every project of bathroom remodeling in Wimberley, TX is different, so we price each job after we see it in person. These are the biggest factors:
- Room size and how much tile goes on the floors and walls
- Tile choice, from standard ceramic to large porcelain
- Layout changes that move the shower, toilet or vanity
- Subfloor, framing or water damage found during demolition
- Shower glass, niches, benches and other custom details
Keeping the existing layout is often the simplest way to control the budget, since drains and supply lines stay where they are. Call us to set up a visit and get an estimate for your room.
Why Hire a Bathroom Remodel Contractor Who Specializes in Tile
The right bathroom remodel contractor brings real tile skill to the parts of the room that take the most wear. Showers, floors and tub surrounds are where water does damage, and they are where tile work matters most. Western Standard Tile was built around that work.
Lee is the third-generation owner of Western Standard Tile. You talk with the people responsible for your bathroom from the first visit to the final walkthrough, and you get straight answers about what your room needs and what it does not.
We are based in Wimberley and work across the Hill Country, in older homes and newer builds alike. We explain each stage before it starts, keep the work area tidy and answer questions as they come up. A remodel should leave you with a room you trust for years, not one you start patching next spring.

Bathroom Remodeling Questions From Wimberley Homeowners
How long will my bathroom be out of use during a remodel?
It depends on the size of the room and the scope of the work. A remodel that keeps the layout moves faster than one that relocates the shower or vanity. Tile, grout and waterproofing also need set and cure times that should not be rushed. We give you an expected timeline for your bathroom before demolition starts, so you can plan around it.
Can I keep my layout and only change the tile and finishes?
Yes. Keeping the existing layout is one of the most common ways to remodel a bathroom, and it avoids the work of moving drains and supply lines. We can replace the floor, rebuild the shower walls, change the vanity and update fixtures in their current spots. Many rooms look completely new on the same footprint.
What tile holds up best on a bathroom floor?
Porcelain is a strong choice for most bathroom floors because it is dense, absorbs very little water and stands up to daily traffic. Textured or matte finishes give better grip when the floor is wet. Ceramic works well on walls and in lighter-use rooms. We help you compare options against how your household uses the room.
Can I stay in my home while the bathroom is remodeled?
Most homeowners stay in the house during a bathroom remodel, especially when a second bathroom is available. The work stays inside the room being remodeled, and the rest of the home carries on as usual. If the only bathroom in the house is part of the project, we talk through timing during planning so the gap is as short as possible.
How should I prepare for a bathroom remodel?
Clear the bathroom of personal items, towels and anything stored in the vanity. Pick a second bathroom to use during the work, and plan a clear path from the door to the room for materials. Make your tile and fixture choices early, since a late change can hold up the schedule. We go over every detail with you before the start date.
