Fast, Reliable Bathroom Remodeling Across Conway
Bathroom remodeling in Conway typically costs $9,000 – $28,000, and the biggest driver of price is what we find when we open the walls. In a mid-century home along Hoffner Avenue or near Barber Park, that usually means original cast-iron drain lines, outdated framing, and waterproofing that gave up years ago. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Orlando, led by Trevor Nash, and we serve Conway homeowners who want a straight answer before the first tile comes up. Call (850) 427-6454 for a written estimate.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Orlando Is Conway’s Preferred Bathroom Remodeling Company
Conway is not a generic suburb. The homes along Dixie Highway and through the neighborhoods east of Lake Conway were built between the 1920s and the 1970s, and they do not open up like new construction. We know the ranch layouts off Gatlin Avenue, the block homes near Conway Road, and the 1940s frame houses tucked into the older plats. That local familiarity matters more than any flashy showroom.
Trevor Nash leads a crew that works in Conway on a weekly basis. We know what Orange County inspectors look for when a bath remodel requires opening a wall that carries a load, and we know the signs of an undersized joist under a 1950s bathroom addition. The Kingswell Way has been the operating standard since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Every technician on the job is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You know exactly who is walking into your home. And a live person answers the phone 24/7, not an answering service. That is not a promotional tagline – it is how we run every job in Conway.
Our Bathroom Remodeling team works from a written price and a 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that first year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee. No re-inspection charge. It is on the contract, in writing, before any work starts.

Shower Remodel in Conway
A shower remodel in Conway homes often reveals more than the homeowner expected. The original pan under a 1960s tile shower has usually failed by now, and the subfloor beneath it in many mid-century houses was never sloped to the drain correctly in the first place. We strip everything to the studs, correct the slope, install a proper membrane or cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), and rebuild it so the waterproofing actually holds.
Shower remodels in Conway typically run $3,000 – $8,500 for a full replacement. Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000 depending on size, glass, and tile choices. You get a written number before we touch a hammer.
When the Pan Fails After Decades
Conway’s humid air means a failed shower pan does not just leak. It grows mold behind the wall before you ever see a stain on the ceiling below. In homes built before rubberized pan liners became code, we routinely find rotted subfloor and swollen studs once the old tile is out.
Rebuilding the Waterproofing Correctly
We use Schluter or equivalent membrane systems on most Conway shower remodels. The cement board alone is not waterproof; it needs a surface-applied membrane behind the tile. That detail matters twice as much in a climate with this much ambient moisture.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Conway
A tub to shower conversion in Conway’s older homes is one of the highest-value projects we do. Many of the 1950s and 1960s homes near Conway Elementary still have their original cast-iron tubs. They are heavy, chipped, and often sitting on original drain plumbing that is one good bump away from a slab leak. Converting to a walk-in shower gives you a modern, low-threshold entry and a much more useful bathroom.
Tub-to-shower conversions in Conway run $3,500 – $10,000. The range depends on whether the drain line needs to be moved, what tile or surround you choose, and whether the original cast-iron drain under the slab can be salvaged or needs a re-route.
The Cast-Iron Drain Reality Check
We opened up a 1954 ranch on Gatlin Avenue near Dixie Highway for a tub-to-shower conversion and found the original cast-iron drain line had cracked under the slab. Our crew cut a tunnel, rerouted the drain in PVC as part of the change order, and got inspection sign-off before we closed the subfloor. The homeowner ended up with a new shower and no hidden liability. That is how we handle surprises in Conway: priced and approved in writing before we touch it.
Low-Threshold Entries That Work
If the homeowner wants to age in place in their Conway home, a low or zero-threshold shower entry is a smart choice. We frame the slope directly into the subfloor on most conversions, so the finished shower sits nearly flush with the bathroom floor.
Trusted Brands We Service in Conway
We install and service materials from brands we trust to hold up in Florida’s humidity. Cambria quartz and Silestone surfaces carry their own warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. For cabinetry, KraftMaid and Wellborn give us solid box construction that resists warping in a bathroom where the vent fan runs constantly through summer storms. We keep common parts and hardware on our trucks for fast turnaround when servicing the Conway side of town.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Conway Homes
- Original cast-iron drain lines under slab foundations. Many pre-1970 Conway homes still have original cast-iron drains that have been corroding for decades. During any bath remodel, these frequently crack and require tunnel or reroute work before we close the floor.
- Failed waterproofing on exterior-facing bathroom walls. Conway’s humid subtropical climate and summer thunderstorms push moisture into walls that were never built to shed water properly. We find mold behind old tile on the west and south walls of older frame homes.
- Undersized framing under original tile beds. Mid-century Conway bathrooms were often framed with joists sized for a lightweight tub, not a modern tiled walk-in shower. The extra dead load from tile and cement board can exceed what the original floor was designed to carry.
- Non-code-compliant venting. Many older Conway bathrooms vent into the attic rather than through the roof. That is a mold factory in this climate. We correct the vent run and install a properly sized fan as part of the remodel.
Pricing for Bathroom Remodeling in Conway, FL
A full bathroom remodel in Conway runs $9,000 – $28,000. The spread comes from what is behind your walls. If the cast-iron drain is intact and the framing is sound, you are on the lower end. If we are rerouting a drain line, replacing rotted subfloor, and bringing the room up to current wind-load and electrical code, the number climbs accordingly. You should never sign a contract that says “price may change once we open the walls” without a detailed allowance for exactly what might change.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Conway
Orange County requires permits when structural changes are made, when the plumbing or electrical systems are relocated, or when a wall that carries load is opened. In a Conway bathroom remodel, that almost always means a permit is pulled. We handle the permit application, schedule the inspections, and verify final sign-off before we call the job complete. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate on your project.
If the original cast-iron drain line under your slab is cracked or collapsed, the budget changes. Rerouting a drain in PVC can add several thousand dollars, and tunneling under a slab is labor-intensive. We write a specific allowance for this into every Conway contract on pre-1970 homes so the number does not jump on you after demo day. Call (850) 427-6454 and we will walk your home before you sign anything.
If your bathroom has an exterior window and the wall is being opened, Orange County code may require it to meet current wind-load standards, which often means impact-rated glass. Ventilation is a separate issue: a correctly sized exhaust fan that vents through the roof, not into the attic. We include both details in your written quote so there are no code surprises at inspection. Call (850) 427-6454 for a free estimate.
Inspection sign-off from Orange County verifies that the plumbing, electrical, structural, and waterproofing work meets current code. It protects your home resale value and confirms the work was done correctly. Every Penhallow permit in Conway gets final sign-off before we issue your written warranty. Call (850) 427-6454 to get your project on the schedule.
Yes, and this is often the fastest path. Keeping the toilet, sink, and shower in the same location means fewer permits and less demolition. It also means the cast-iron drain issue may not even come up, because we are not moving the drain location. Call (850) 427-6454 and we will tell you honestly whether your ideal layout triggers extra work or not.
