Palm Harbor has a lot of homes from the 80s and 90s with bathrooms to match — fiberglass inserts, dated tile, and layouts that no longer fit how people live. A thoughtful remodel doesn't just modernize the look; done right, it fixes the hidden waterproofing problems those older bathrooms have been quietly developing for years.
Konar Bros Tile Co. is a family-run bathroom remodeling company serving Palm Harbor and Pinellas County. We handle the full project — demo, substrate, waterproofing, custom tile shower, floors, and finishes — with the Konar brothers doing every step themselves, no subcontractors, all backed by our 10-year workmanship and waterproofing warranty.
What a Full Bathroom Remodel Includes
A complete Palm Harbor bathroom remodel typically covers demolition and haul-away, substrate repair and leveling, full waterproofing, a custom tiled shower or tub-to-shower conversion, floor tile, and the finish work that ties it all together. We coordinate the tile-related scope end to end so you're not managing a dozen moving parts.
Popular upgrades for Palm Harbor baths: curbless (zero-threshold) showers for aging-in-place, recessed niches and bench seating, large-format wall tile that minimizes grout lines, and wood-look porcelain floors that handle humidity without the maintenance of real wood.
Every remodel starts with a free design consultation — tile selection, grout color, and layout, all at no charge. See the full scope on our tile services page.
Why Older Palm Harbor Bathrooms Need Real Waterproofing
Many Palm Harbor bathrooms were built before modern waterproofing was standard. When we open up a 30-year-old shower, we routinely find rotted framing, failed pans, and mold behind tile that looked fine from the outside. A cosmetic remodel that tiles over those problems just buries them.
We rebuild every wet area with a Schluter-grade membrane system — pre-sloped pans, bonded wall waterproofing, and properly sealed niches and benches. It's why our showers don't leak, and why we've had zero callbacks in eight years across Tampa Bay.
Correcting the substrate matters just as much. Older homes are rarely plumb or level, so we flatten and reframe as needed before tile goes up. A beautiful remodel over a bad base will still fail.
