Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank, CA

Bathroom Remodeling in Burbank, CA

Burbank homeowners living with original 1930s–1950s tile bathrooms finally have a local contractor who can transform them — bringing walk-in showers, floating vanities, and heated floors without erasing the period character that makes these homes worth owning.

Modernizing Burbank Bathrooms With Care for Their Character

Magnolia Park and Chandler Estates homes from the 1930s through the 1950s carry original bathrooms that were built to last — small, tiled from floor to ceiling in pastel colors, with pedestal sinks, cast iron tubs, and 3-piece layouts that feel undeniably charming from a design standpoint but genuinely frustrating to use every morning. A bathroom remodel in Burbank at this housing vintage requires a contractor who understands what's worth keeping and what needs to go.

Frameless glass walk-in showers, floating vanities with under-mount or vessel sinks, heated porcelain tile floors, and updated Kohler fixtures can coexist beautifully with the architectural character of a 1940s Spanish Colonial or mid-century ranch — when they're designed with that context in mind. Caspi Construction is a licensed Burbank bathroom renovation company (CSLB #1091631) with a 4.9★ rating across 153+ completed bathrooms. Permits go through the Burbank Building Division — not LADBS.

Our Burbank Bathroom Remodeling Services

Tub-to-Shower Conversion with Frameless Glass   The most common Burbank bathroom remodel request is replacing the original cast iron tub with a walk-in shower — and for good reason. A well-designed walk-in shower with large-format tile, a

linear drain, and a frameless glass enclosure transforms a small Burbank bathroom into a space that feels genuinely modern without requiring a single square foot of additional space. We handle the plumbing reconfiguration, waterproofing membrane, tile installation, and glass fabrication as a coordinated package, with all permits through the Burbank Building Division.

Floating Vanity Design & Installation  

Wall-mounted floating vanities are particularly effective in the compact bathrooms of Burbank's older housing stock — they create visual floor space that makes a tight room feel significantly larger. We design and install floating vanity configurations with undermount or vessel sinks, Kohler faucets in period-compatible finishes, and integrated LED mirror systems that replace outdated Hollywood-style light bars. Custom vanity sizes are available for the non-standard dimensions common in Burbank's pre-war homes.

Heated Floor Installation  

In-floor radiant heating under porcelain or stone tile is one of the most requested upgrade features in Burbank bathroom renovation projects — and one of the most appreciated once installed. We install electric radiant heating systems beneath new tile floors, connected to a programmable thermostat, as part of the broader remodel scope. This work requires a Burbank Building Division electrical permit, which we manage as part of the overall project permit application.

Full Tile Surround & Waterproofing  

Proper waterproofing is the foundation of any long-lasting bathroom remodel in Burbank. We install Schluter or RedGard waterproofing membranes behind all wet areas before tile goes down, ensuring that the substrate is protected regardless of what happens to the grout lines over time. MSI large-format porcelain tile in stone-look finishes is our most popular surround material — durable, low-maintenance, and visually at home in both period and contemporary Burbank interiors.

Recent Bathroom Projects Near Burbank

Project 1 — Magnolia Park 1940s Hall Bathroom  

A 1941 Magnolia Park home had an original hall bathroom that had never been touched — pink 4x4 wall tile, a cast iron tub with a curtain rod, a pedestal sink with separate hot and cold spigots, and a black-and-white hex tile floor that was still in good condition but surrounded by crumbling grout. The homeowner wanted to preserve the hex floor and the period feel while gaining a functional modern shower. We converted the tub area to a walk-in shower with a frameless glass door, installed new 3x6 white subway tile on the shower walls with a Kohler rain head and hand spray, replaced the pedestal sink with a wall-mounted floating vanity in a warm white, and regrouted the original hex floor rather than replacing it. All permits were managed through the Burbank Building Division, including the plumbing modification for the new shower drain.

Project 2 — Chandler Estates Master Bath Expansion  

A mid-century Chandler Estates home had a master bathroom that shared a wall with an underused linen closet — a common configuration in homes of that era that left the bathroom perpetually cramped. The homeowner wanted to absorb the closet space and create a bathroom that finally felt proportionate to the master suite. We removed the shared wall, expanded the bathroom footprint by 28 square feet, installed a double floating vanity with Kohler Vox undermount sinks and matte black faucets, tiled the entire room in a large-format MSI Porcelain in a warm grey limestone look, added a walk-in shower with a frameless enclosure and linear drain, and installed radiant floor heating. Burbank Building Division permits covered the structural modification, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work.

Project 3 — Burbank Ranch Home Bathroom Modernization  

A 1952 Burbank ranch home had two original bathrooms in identical condition — beige 4x4 tile, tub-shower combos with plastic surrounds added in the 1980s, and single-sink vanities with laminate tops. The homeowner addressed the hall bath first: we removed the plastic surround, retiled the tub surround in a stacked MSI subway tile in cool white, replaced the vanity with a floating unit in a warm wood-tone finish with an undermount Kohler sink, installed a new Kohler Devonshire faucet in brushed nickel, and replaced the light bar with an LED mirror. The bathroom renovation in Burbank was completed in three weeks without permits, as no plumbing or structural changes were required.
