Custom slate tile walk-in shower with glass doors and pebble mosaic niche

Bathroom Remodeling In Corpus Christi

Custom tile showers, walk-ins, garden tubs, and vanities, built by one local crew across Corpus Christi and surrounding areas. This is our most-requested work, and where the craftsmanship really shows.

Why bathrooms are our signature work

The room where the tile work shows

A bathroom is a small space with almost no room to hide a shortcut. The tile lines either run straight or they do not, the shower pan either drains right or it does not, and the waterproofing under it all is the part you never see but always feel. Bathrooms are the work MLA gets asked for most, and the slate walk-in showers are what people point to when they call Juan back.

Juan Martinez has run MLA Contracting since 2013, and the reviews say a version of the same thing every time. He shows up when he says he will, builds what he quoted, and cleans up before he leaves.

“Very professional and competent. I did not have to constantly monitor the status of my projects. You wouldn’t even know a repair had been made.”

What is included

From a tired bath to a finished one

A full bathroom remodel with MLA covers the work end to end, so you are not lining up separate tradespeople yourself.

How it works

Four steps, no guesswork

01

In-Person Estimate

Juan comes to your bathroom, takes measurements, and talks through the shower, tile, and fixtures you have in mind. Estimates take about an hour, seven days a week from 8am to 7pm.

02

Clear Scope & Price

You get the tile plan, the material choices, and a firm price in writing before demo starts, so there are no surprises once the walls are open.

03

We Build It

One local crew handles demo, waterproofing, tile, and fixtures in order, keeps the site clean, and keeps you updated as the work moves.

04

Final Walkthrough

We walk the finished bathroom with you, check the tile, the grout, and the drainage, and make anything right before we call it done.

What affects the cost
Projects begin
at $5,000

MLA takes on full bathroom remodels rather than quick patch jobs, and that minimum keeps the crew on fewer homes at a time so the tile work gets the attention you can see in the photos. What your bathroom lands at comes down to a few things we walk through at the estimate.

  • 01The size of the space. A guest bath and a full primary suite are very different scopes, and more tile and more fixtures means more material and labor.
  • 02The materials you choose. Slate, mosaic, and natural stone, along with the tub, vanity, and fixtures, all range widely, and you choose the level that fits your budget.
  • 03What is behind the walls. Moving plumbing, rebuilding a rotted subfloor, or redoing the shower pan changes the scope, so we look at it and price it up front.

Bathroom remodel questions

Answers before you call

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Corpus Christi?

Bathroom projects with MLA begin at $5,000, and the final number follows the size of the space, the tile and fixtures you choose, and what is behind the walls. Juan comes out, measures, and gives you a firm price in writing so you know it before the work starts.

Do you build custom tile and walk-in showers?

Yes, and it is the work we get asked for most. We build custom tile showers, walk-ins, and mosaic floors on a properly waterproofed pan, so the shower not only looks right but drains and holds up the way it should.

How long does a bathroom remodel take?

A straightforward shower or vanity update moves faster than a full remodel that moves plumbing or rebuilds the floor. Once we have seen your bathroom, we give you a realistic timeline with the scope, and one crew stays on it start to finish.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Some bathroom work needs a city permit, especially anything electrical or structural. MLA holds an electrical license and pulls permits with the City of Corpus Christi, so that part is handled for you.

Can I pick my own tile and fixtures?

Absolutely. We can source tile, stone, and fixtures for you, or install what you have already chosen. We go over the options at the estimate so the look and the budget line up before anything is ordered.
