The Right Image Approach

Van Nuys' Local
Bathroom Contractor

A bathroom is the most unforgiving room in a remodel. Behind the tile is waterproofing, slope, and plumbing that has to be right the first time — because when a shower pan is done wrong, you don't find out until there's water in the ceiling below. In Van Nuys, that risk is higher than most, because the housing stock is old enough that what's behind the wall is rarely what you'd hope.

We're based on Burbank Boulevard in Valley Glen, right next to Van Nuys, and we've remodeled bathrooms in these 1950s tract homes for over a decade. The original bathrooms here are small, tub-centric, and often still running on corroded galvanized supply lines. Our job is usually two things at once: giving you the walk-in shower and clean modern finishes you want, and quietly fixing the plumbing and framing problems the last owner tiled over.

Everything happens under one roof — demo, waterproofing, plumbing, tile, glass, and finish. One crew, one fixed-price contract, one point of contact. And every permit is pulled through LADBS and closed with a signed final inspection, so the work is legal and documented, not a hidden liability when you sell.

What We Build

Full Scope,
Done Right the First Time

01

Tub-to-Shower Conversions

The signature Van Nuys 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.

02

Waterproofing Done Correctly

This is where corners get cut and ceilings leak. We use proper hot-mop or sheet/liquid membrane systems, sloped pre-slope under the pan, and correct curb and niche detailing — the invisible layer that decides whether a bathroom lasts 20 years or 2.

03

Tile, Stone & Glass

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.

04

Vanities, Fixtures & Lighting

Floating or freestanding vanities, quartz or stone tops, undermount sinks, wall-hung or comfort-height toilets, and layered lighting with proper GFCI-protected circuits and exhaust ventilation sized to the room.

05

Re-Plumbing & Re-Piping

With the walls open, it's the moment to replace tired galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX, update the drain and vent, and move plumbing to support a new layout — restoring the water pressure these older Van Nuys homes lost decades ago.

06

Permits & Inspections

All plumbing, electrical, and shower work permitted through LADBS and carried to signed-off final inspection. We handle the submission and the corrections so the finished bathroom is fully legal and documented.

Building in Van Nuys

We Know What's
Behind the Tile

Van Nuys bathrooms tell on the age of the house the moment we open a wall. Across Kester Ridge, the flats along the Van Nuys / Kester corridor, and out toward Lake Balboa, the original 1950s bathrooms share the same story: a single small tub-centric bath, galvanized supply lines that have corroded from the inside, and a fan that never actually vented outside.

Because Van Nuys is City of Los Angeles, every bit of plumbing and electrical work is permitted through LADBS, with Valley inspections run out of the Van Nuys Development Services Center on Van Nuys Boulevard. We're in that building routinely, so the permitting side moves smoothly instead of stalling your project.

The honest conversation we have with nearly every Van Nuys homeowner is about what's worth doing while the walls are open — re-piping, adding proper ventilation, moving a wall to steal a few inches for a real shower. We build those decisions into the fixed price up front, so the finished bathroom isn't just beautiful, it's a bathroom that won't hand the next owner a problem.

What It Costs

Van Nuys Bathroom
Cost Ranges

Project TierTypical RangeWhat's Involved
Refresh $18K–$28K Same footprint: new tile, vanity, toilet, fixtures, lighting, and paint. A guest or hall bath brought fully up to date.
Tub-to-Shower $22K–$35K Remove the tub, build a waterproofed walk-in or curbless shower, new tile, glass, vanity, and fixtures — often with local re-piping.
Master Renovation $35K–$55K+ Reconfigured layout, relocated plumbing, curbless spa shower, double vanity, custom tile, and full electrical and ventilation upgrades.

Ranges are typical Van Nuys estimates for planning only and depend on scope, finishes, and existing conditions behind the walls. Your fixed-price proposal is set after the free on-site consultation. [VERIFY — owner to confirm current cost ranges before publish.]

Van Nuys Bathroom FAQ

Questions We
Hear in Van Nuys

Do you handle the permits for a bathroom remodel in Van Nuys?+
Yes. Van Nuys is City of Los Angeles, so bathroom permits go through LADBS — typically the Van Nuys Development Services Center on Van Nuys Boulevard, minutes from our Valley Glen office. Any time we move plumbing, add or relocate a shower, or touch electrical, that work is permitted and inspected. We handle submission, corrections, and final sign-off; you never deal with the counter.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Van Nuys?+
Most Van Nuys bathroom remodels run from about $18,000 for a straightforward guest-bath refresh to $55,000+ for a full master-bath renovation with a curbless shower and relocated plumbing. A typical tub-to-shower conversion with new tile, vanity, and fixtures in a 1950s tract bathroom usually lands in the $22,000–$35,000 range. You get a fixed-price proposal after the on-site visit. All figures are estimates pending your consultation.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in or curbless shower?+
Yes — tub-to-shower conversions are one of our most requested Van Nuys projects. We remove the old tub, reframe and waterproof the shower area, set a proper sloped pan (curbed or fully curbless), and tile it out with a linear or center drain. If you want a zero-threshold, aging-in-place shower, we build the floor and blocking to support grab bars and a bench.
Do the old galvanized pipes in Van Nuys homes need to be replaced?+
Often, yes. Many 1950s Van Nuys homes still have original galvanized steel supply lines that have corroded and choked down water pressure over the decades. When we open the walls for a bathroom remodel, it's the ideal time to re-pipe the bathroom in copper or PEX. We'll assess the existing plumbing at the estimate and tell you honestly whether a re-pipe is worth doing while the walls are open.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?+
A standard Van Nuys bathroom remodel runs about 3–5 weeks from construction start. A guest-bath refresh on the same footprint is faster; a full master bath with moved plumbing, a curbless shower, and custom tile takes longer. You get a committed milestone schedule before demolition, plus realistic guidance on tile lead times so nothing stalls mid-project.
Are you licensed and insured, and do you offer free estimates in Van Nuys?+
Yes on both. Right Image Builders holds active California license CSLB #1021284 with full liability and workers' compensation coverage. Our shop is in Valley Glen, right next to Van Nuys, so the on-site bathroom estimate is free and truly local — a senior team member comes out, not a call-center scheduler.
