Bathroom Repairs in Pompano Beach, FL
Built for Pompano Beach homes and the way South Florida treats them. Tile, fixtures, waterproofing, and full bathroom repairs by Valmir Santos and the South Blue team — 25+ years keeping water where it belongs in Broward County homes.
Why Bathroom Repairs in Pompano Beach Start Behind the Tile
Here's what most Pompano Beach homeowners learn too late: the tile looks fine long after the wall behind it has failed.
In Pompano Beach's 1974-era homes, decades of humidity and old drain lines mean water often gets behind the tile, into the subfloor, and around the base of the toilet before anyone sees a stain. Patch the surface and you trap the problem.
Our approach: we open up what needs opening, fix the actual source — failed waterproofing, a corroded drain, a leaking valve — then rebuild with a proper waterproof membrane before any tile goes back.
The truth: we've repaired hundreds of Broward County bathrooms, from condo guest baths to coastal master suites. We know where Pompano Beach homes leak and what's hiding behind 40-year-old tile.
The result: a bathroom that's dry behind the walls, tile set on a waterproof base, fixtures that don't drip, and grout lines that stay clean. Built to last, not just to look good on day one.

What Makes Bathroom Repairs Different in South Florida
Humidity and mold (year-round)
Bathrooms in 70%+ humidity dry slowly and grow mold behind tile and under vanities. We rebuild with waterproof membrane (not just water-resistant board) and make sure ventilation actually moves air out.
Old drain and supply lines
Many Pompano Beach homes built around 1974 still have cast iron drains or aged supply lines. When we open a wall we check them — replacing a corroded line during the repair is far cheaper than after new tile is in.
Salt-air fixture corrosion (coastal homes)
Near the coast, builder-grade faucets and shower valves corrode fast. We use solid-brass valve bodies and corrosion-resistant trim so they last.
HOA / condo water-shutoff rules
Condos across Pompano Beach require advance notice and scheduled water shutoffs before bathroom work. We coordinate the COI, shutoff window, and protected-path requirements with the association.

In Palm Aire — luxury homes, world-class golf courses — We rebuild with a true waterproof membrane behind the tile, because the surface looks fine long after the wall has failed.

Bathroom Repairs FAQ — Pompano Beach
How much do bathroom repairs cost in Pompano Beach?
Bathroom repairs in Pompano Beach typically run $1,200 to $7,000 depending on scope — a fixture swap and re-grout is at the low end, while re-tiling a shower with new waterproofing and fixtures is at the high end. We give a free on-site assessment with line-item pricing.
Why is my Pompano Beach bathroom leaking if the tile looks fine?
Tile is waterproof; the grout and the membrane behind it are not — once they fail, water gets into the wall and subfloor while the surface still looks new. In Pompano Beach's 1974-era homes this is the most common hidden problem we find. We fix the source, not just the surface.
Do you re-tile showers and fix the waterproofing underneath?
Yes. We strip back to the studs where needed, install a proper waterproof membrane, then set new tile. That membrane is the difference between a repair that lasts and one that leaks again in two years.
How long do bathroom repairs take?
Most Pompano Beach bathroom repairs take 2-6 days, depending on whether we're doing a focused fix or a full re-tile with waterproofing. We confirm the timeline after the on-site visit.

Cosmetic repairs usually don't need a permit. Work that relocates plumbing or electrical does — Building Inspections, 100 W Atlantic Blvd — Click2Gov portal reviews those plans (fees $100-$1,200). We coordinate it when your project requires it.
