Platte City has two kinds of bathrooms. The subdivisions that were built from the late 1990s on came with builder-grade showers that are now cracking, and hard water hasn’t helped. The older streets closer to the courthouse square still have 1970s and 80s tile with nothing waterproof behind it.
If you need a bathroom remodel in Platte City, MO, we look behind the wall first and quote once. No subcontractors. Bathrooms only. One written price.

Most of the calls we get from Platte City trace back to one of two eras of construction.
Many of the newer subdivisions were finished with one-piece fiberglass or thin acrylic units. After fifteen to twenty years, they often yellow, flex, or crack around the drain. Owners want the tile or solid surface shower the builder didn't offer.
Water here runs hard enough to leave scale on builder finishes and untreated glass. We can recommend fixtures and glass treatments that hold up better.
A lot of the 2000s floor plans have a corner soaking tub nobody fills and a small stand-up shower next to it. Turning that corner into one large walk-in shower is one of the most common requests we hear from owners of newer homes.
On the older streets closer to town, bathrooms from this era often have tile over greenboard, little or no waterproofing behind it, and fans that vent into the attic instead of outdoors.
Older houses along Main Street and the surrounding blocks fall under EPA lead safe rules. That changes how demolition has to be handled, and we plan for it.
We look for all of this during the free consultation so it lands in your quote instead of showing up as a change order.
The core of what we do. Waterproofed behind every panel, built to drain, and finished in tile, acrylic, or onyx. Many showers can be completed in a single day. If the shower is the only thing you’re changing, start with our Platte City shower remodel page.
The newer homes have room to spare; the older ones near the square don’t. Either way, a few changes do most of the work:
If the room won’t take a change you want, you’ll hear it at the consultation, not after demo.
You should have a range before you call. Our typical pricing:
| Project | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Full bathroom remodel | $14,000 to $35,000 |
| Shower install or tub-to-shower conversion | $4,500 to $12,000 |
| Bathtub replacement | $4,500 to $12,000 |
A same-footprint shower replacement in a newer build usually sits at the low end. Full bathroom remodel cost climbs when plumbing moves, when we open a wall to merge a tub and shower, or when an older home needs the wet wall repiped. One written quote, no hidden costs, and no “tonight only” pricing. See our pricing page for more detail.

Worth knowing:
We handle the permit filing and inspections as part of the job.
We measure and photograph the room, then look at what the builder left behind: whether the fiberglass unit has softened around the drain, what's behind the tile on an older wall, where the fan actually vents, and whether the supply lines are worth keeping.
Everything we found goes into the quote, so it doesn't move once demo starts. Approve it and we place the order.
