Remodeling Palma Ceia Bathrooms
Palma Ceia is one of South Tampa’s oldest and most established neighborhoods, full of 1920s through 1940s bungalows, Mediterranean revival, and Spanish-style homes near the golf and country club. These houses have real character worth keeping, and they also come with real challenges: small original bathroom footprints, plaster walls, cast-iron drain lines, and tight framing that does not match modern fixtures. The most common Palma Ceia bath project is a careful gut that respects the home’s style, a large tile shower with frameless glass, a furniture-style double vanity, and updated plumbing hidden behind period-appropriate finishes.
Because many of these homes sit in older flood-aware areas closer to Bayshore, and because the plumbing and framing are nearly a century old, we plan the hidden work carefully. We permit through the City of Tampa, replace aging cast-iron where it makes sense, and waterproof properly so a high-end finish lasts in Florida humidity.
What’s Included
- Custom tile showers with frameless glass and built-in niches
- Furniture-style and double vanities with quartz or natural stone
- Cast-iron drain replacement and updated supply lines where needed
- Period-respectful tile, fixtures, and lighting
- Full waterproofing for Florida humidity, City of Tampa permitting
- Licensed plumbing and electrical with inspections
What Goes Into a Palma Ceia Bathroom Budget
In these older homes, the hidden work matters as much as the finishes. A custom tile shower with glass is the biggest visible cost, but replacing cast-iron drains, re-framing for modern fixtures, and rerouting plumbing in a 1930s footprint add real labor that newer homes simply do not have. Vanities, stone tops, designer fixtures, and lighting round out the budget.
A mid-range Palma Ceia bath that updates finishes and the shower lands in the $30,000 to $50,000 range. A full primary suite with custom tile, a freestanding tub, frameless glass, and a double vanity, plus the plumbing and framing work these homes need, moves into the $50,000 and up tier.
How a Palma Ceia Bathroom Remodel Runs
Design and selections take a few weeks, then a City of Tampa permit window, then 4 to 8 weeks of construction. In century-old homes we build extra time into the schedule for the plumbing and framing surprises that come with the territory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remodel a 1930s Palma Ceia bathroom without losing its character?
Yes. We pair modern waterproofing, plumbing, and glass with period-respectful tile, fixtures, and vanities so the bathroom works like new but still fits a Mediterranean or bungalow home.
Do older Palma Ceia homes need plumbing replacement?
Often. Many homes here still have cast-iron drains and dated supply lines. We assess them early and replace what needs it so a new bathroom does not sit on failing pipes.
How much does a luxury bathroom cost in Palma Ceia?
A primary or luxury bath with custom tile, frameless glass, and a double vanity typically runs $50,000 and up, partly because of the plumbing and framing work these older homes require.
How long does a Palma Ceia bathroom remodel take?
Plan on 4 to 6 weeks for a mid-range bath and 6 to 8 weeks for a primary or luxury bath, with some added time for hidden work in older homes.
