Right Image Builders is a licensed general contractor remodeling bathrooms across Burbank — Magnolia Park, the Rancho equestrian district, and the Media District. We build walk-in and curbless showers, full tile renovations, and vanity & plumbing upgrades, with every permit pulled through the City of Burbank's Building Division — not LADBS. Licensed & insured, CSLB #1021284, based a short drive west in Valley Glen. Free on-site estimate: (818) 210-4544.
Burbank bathrooms date from the house: knob-and-tube branch circuits and galvanized lines in the 1920s–40s houses, raised foundations across Magnolia Park. Behind the new tile, what decides whether the room lasts is waterproofing, slope and the supply lines, so a Burbank bathroom proposal from us always prices the pan and the re-pipe, not just the finishes. In Burbank there's a second layer: the permitting runs through the City of Burbank's own Building Division, not LADBS, and a contractor who assumes the LA process finds out mid-job. We've worked Burbank for over a decade and know its counter.
The homes make the work interesting. Magnolia Park and Burbank's traditional streets are full of 1920s–40s Spanish and traditional houses with small, original bathrooms — often still running corroded galvanized supply lines and venting that never worked right. A Burbank bathroom remodel is usually two jobs at once: the walk-in shower and clean finishes you want, plus the quiet plumbing and framing fixes the last owner tiled over.
Everything happens under one roof — demo, waterproofing, plumbing, tile, glass, and finish — with one crew, one fixed-price contract, and one point of contact. And every permit is pulled through the City of Burbank and closed with a signed final inspection, so the work is legal and documented.
The signature Burbank bathroom project. We pull the old tub, reframe and waterproof the shower, set a properly sloped curbed or curbless pan, and tile it with a linear or center drain — plus niches, benches, and blocking for grab bars if you want it aging-in-place ready.
Where corners get cut and ceilings leak. We use proper hot-mop or sheet/liquid membrane systems, correct pre-slope under the pan, and proper curb and niche detailing — the invisible layer that decides whether a bathroom lasts 20 years or 2.
Porcelain, natural stone, handmade ceramic, zellige, and full-height shower walls — installed by our in-house tile crew with proper edge and transition systems. Frameless glass enclosures templated and installed to fit.
Floating or freestanding vanities, quartz or stone tops, undermount sinks, comfort-height toilets, and layered lighting with proper GFCI-protected circuits and exhaust ventilation sized to the room.
With the walls open, it's the moment to replace tired galvanized supply lines in Burbank's 1920s–40s homes with copper or PEX, update the drain and vent, and move plumbing to support a new layout — restoring water pressure the old homes lost.
All plumbing and electrical permitted through the City of Burbank Building Division and carried to signed-off final inspection. We handle submission and corrections so the finished bathroom is fully legal.
Two things define a Burbank bathroom remodel. First, the permitting: Burbank is its own incorporated city, so every plumbing and electrical permit runs through the City of Burbank's Building Division — its own plan check, fees, and inspectors, entirely separate from Los Angeles. A crew that only knows LADBS will stumble here; we don't.
Second, the housing stock. Magnolia Park and Burbank's traditional neighborhoods are full of 1920s–40s Spanish and traditional homes with small original bathrooms — charming, but often hiding corroded galvanized plumbing and venting that never reached the exterior. The Rancho District, Burbank's equestrian enclave, and the Media District near the studios each bring their own character, but the bathrooms share the same age-related surprises behind the wall.
In Burbank the conversation while the walls are open is about knob-and-tube branch circuits and galvanized lines in the 1920s–40s houses: re-piping galvanized lines, adding real ventilation, and getting slope and waterproofing right, all priced into the fixed proposal before demolition. We fold those into the fixed price up front. Based a short drive west in Valley Glen, Burbank is home turf, and we permit it correctly the first time.

| Tub-to-Shower | $25K–$38K | Remove the tub, build a waterproofed walk-in or curbless shower, new tile, glass, and vanity — often with local re-piping. |

(818) 210-4544The team completely transformed our master bathroom. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the communication was impeccable. They finished on time, on budget, and the craftsmanship is absolutely stunning. I've already referred them to three neighbors.
I had three contractors look at my bathroom before Right Image Builders. They were the only ones who came prepared with a real scope document and a fixed price. Six weeks later — my bathroom is incredible. The tile work alone is worth every penny.
Two bathrooms, new hardwood floors, kitchen cabinets, and a laundry room — all in one project. Right Image Builders coordinated everything flawlessly. They answered every text within the hour. This is how construction is supposed to work.
