Luca Romano leads our Bathroom Remodeling in Oviedo projects personally, and he’s walked enough pre-2000 Seminole County homes to know exactly what hides behind a 1990s shower surround. That experience shapes how we quote, what we scope, and why our remodels pass inspection the first time.
Styles & brands we work with
Shower Remodel in Oviedo
Shower Remodel work in Oviedo usually means pulling out a failing fiberglass or tile surround and rebuilding the wet wall behind it, which is where the real cost lives. In our market, a full shower remodel runs $3,000 to $8,500, and a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 to $12,000 depending on glass, tile, and what the framing looks like once we open the wall.
Oviedo’s humidity and summer storm season make moisture management the whole game. A shower remodel that looks clean but leaves the original drywall behind the tile will fail within a few years, and you’ll see the grout cracking first, then the musty smell. We rebuild wet walls with pressure-treated framing and mold-resistant board, then waterproof seams before any tile is set.
Walk-In Shower Installation
Walk-in showers are the most requested upgrade in Oviedo’s 1980s and 1990s homes, where a cramped tub-shower combo eats the whole bathroom. The work includes relocating the drain to center the shower pan, extending the supply lines, and building a curb or curbless entry depending on your subfloor. Every walk-in we install gets a Schluter edge trim (the metal strip that waterproofs where your tile meets the floor) so water stays where it belongs.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Frameless glass enclosures run from a simple panel to a full custom enclosure with a door. We quote the glass separately from the tile work so you can see exactly what the enclosure costs and decide if you want it now or later. Whichever way you go, the glass gets measured after the tile is set, never before.
Tub to Shower Conversion in Oviedo
Tub to Shower Conversion in Oviedo is the fastest way to turn a dated guest bath into a functional, modern shower, and it runs $3,500 to $10,000 in our market. The job involves removing the tub, extending or relocating the drain, replacing the supply lines, and building a shower pan with proper slope. Most conversions in Oviedo take two to three weeks from demo to final inspection.
Here’s what most homeowners don’t hear until it’s too late: in a conversion, the drain location drives the cost. If your existing tub drain sits within a foot of where the new shower drain needs to be, the price stays on the low end. If the drain has to move across the slab, you’re looking at concrete cutting and additional plumbing, which pushes the number up. We quote that line item explicitly before work starts.
Shower Pan and Drain Relocation
Moving a drain on a slab foundation means cutting concrete, which is loud, dusty, and unavoidable if you want a centered shower. We contain the dust with barriers and bring a wet saw setup that keeps the mess off the rest of your Oviedo home. On pier-and-beam older houses near the historic downtown, the drain move is usually simpler because there’s crawlspace access underneath.
Bathtub Replacement
Bathtub replacement in Oviedo runs from a simple drop-in swap to a full alcove rebuild. If you have a standard 60-inch alcove, the cost stays on the lower end; if you’re moving to a freestanding tub, expect to re-route supply lines and possibly move the drain. We quote the tub, the valve, the trim, and the labor as separate lines so you see every dollar.
Trusted Brands We Service in Oviedo
We install fixtures and surfaces from brands with manufacturer backing, not mystery suppliers. For Oviedo bathroom remodels, that means cabinetry from KraftMaid or Wellborn, countertops from Cambria or Silestone, and plumbing fixtures from Kohler and Moen. If a Kohler valve fails two years after install, the warranty routes through the manufacturer and we handle the swap, because we’re not going to install a brand we can’t stand behind.
We also keep common repair parts stocked for Oviedo customers, which means shorter turnaround when a mixing valve goes bad mid-project. No waiting a week on a cartridge that should have arrived in two days.

AfterCommon Bathroom Remodeling Problems We See in Oviedo Homes
- Corroded galvanized supply lines. Homes built before the late 1990s in neighborhoods like Alafaya Woods often still have original galvanized steel water lines. They corrode from the inside, and once the wall is open, you can see the rust. Leaving them in place means leaks behind new tile, which nobody wants to discover after the grout is sealed.
- Missing hurricane strapping on frame-built walls. Older wood-frame homes without adequate strapping can shift during high winds, cracking grout and opening gaps where water gets into the subfloor. We add strapping where code requires it before any shower wall goes up.
- Undersized exhaust fans. Oviedo’s humidity demands real ventilation. A 50 CFM fan in a full bathroom is not enough, and moisture builds behind the mirror, under the vanity, and inside the walls. We tie new exhaust fans to their own circuit, sized to the room.
- Unpermitted previous work. We frequently open walls in Oviedo homes and find unpermitted electrical or plumbing from a previous remodel. That work has to be brought current before we can pass inspection on the new scope, and we document it so your insurance company sees a compliant project.

FAQs About Bathroom Remodeling in Oviedo
Oviedo enforces current Florida Building Code wind-load provisions, which means any new wall we build or structural opening we modify must be strapped and anchored to withstand design wind pressures for the region. For a walk-in shower, the relevant scope is the framing and the glass enclosure attachment. We document the strapping and anchor points with photos, and that documentation goes into your project file for insurance purposes. Call (850) 809-0306 if you want a walk-through of what your specific home requires, free.
It often does. Galvanized steel supply lines corrode from the inside, and once the wall is open, Seminole County code requires we replace any supply run that’s degraded or undersized. In a bathroom remodel, that usually means re-piping all supply lines up to the fixtures with PEX, but it does not always mean a whole-house repipe unless multiple bathrooms show the same condition. We recently remodeled a primary bath in a 1994 home in Live Oak Reserve where the original galvanized supply lines were heavily corroded behind the shower wall. Our scope included replacing all supply runs with PEX up to the fixtures, rebuilding the wet wall with pressure-treated framing, and installing a Kohler walk-in shower with a code-compliant exhaust fan tied to the new circuit. The inspector signed off on the rough-in the same week we finished hanging the mold-resistant drywall. Call (850) 809-0306 for an exact assessment on your home’s plumbing.
Seminole County requires a plumbing permit and an electrical permit for most tub-to-shower conversions, because you’re relocating a drain and adding or moving a circuit for the exhaust fan. A structural permit may be required if we’re modifying framing or adding strapping. We pull all permits, schedule the inspections, and give you a copy of the final sign-off. The permit isn’t an upsell; it’s how your project stays insurable. For an exact list on your conversion scope, call (850) 809-0306.
A permitted, documented remodel with photos of wind-load strapping, moisture management, and code-compliant plumbing gives your insurer a reason to keep your premium stable and your claim eligible. The opposite is also true: unpermitted remodels in Oviedo can lead to denied insurance claims after a storm, because the owner cannot document wind-load and moisture-management compliance. We provide photo documentation of every code-relevant stage, from open wall to final inspection. When you’re ready to document your project the right way, call (850) 809-0306.
Yes, and keeping the drain where it is saves money. If your existing tub or shower drain already lines up with the new fixture location, you avoid slab cutting and the plumbing re-route, which can save $1,500 to $3,000 on a shower conversion. On pier-and-beam older homes near the historic downtown, the savings can be even larger because there’s crawlspace access. We’ll tell you during the estimate whether the drain can stay put or has to move, and you’ll see the difference in writing. Call (850) 809-0306 for a free estimate that shows both options side by side.
If you’re weighing quotes for a bathroom remodel in Oviedo, make sure each one tells you exactly what happens with the supply lines, the drain, the strapping, and the permits. Ours does, in writing, before you sign anything. Call (850) 809-0306 to schedule your free estimate with Sawyer Remodel Orlando.
