Tremron Bathroom Remodeling: The Fort Lauderdale Owner’s Guide
Tremron bathroom remodeling in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 installed, depending on the size of the bathroom, the Tremron product involved, and how much structural repair lurks behind the walls. Most Tremron owners call us for two reasons: a Tremron paver or hardscape element originally installed outside is now failing in a bathroom context, or they’ve inherited a Tremron product from a previous renovation and need a remodeler who actually knows how it was spec’d. We stock and install Tremron-compatible bathroom components and can usually start within a week of your written estimate. If you’re reading this because water is staining grout lines, tiles are shifting, or a Tremron paver floor has cracked in front of the shower, you’re in the right place.
Which Tremron Models This Applies To
Tremron doesn’t make bathroom fixtures in the traditional sense. What they make is concrete pavers, retaining wall block, and hardscape products. Fort Lauderdale homeowners run into Tremron inside bathrooms more often than you’d think: outdoor showers that transition from Tremron paver patios, indoor-outdoor bath suites in older Florida homes where the floor carries from lanai to vanity, and decorative Tremron block used as shower or tub surround accents. The most common compatibility issue we see involves Tremron paver thickness. Their standard pavers run 60mm to 80mm thick, which means a bathroom floor built on Tremron pavers sits higher than a tile floor. You cannot simply tile over it and call it done. The subfloor clearance changes, the toilet flange rises, and the shower pan threshold needs reworking. We’ve corrected more than a few DIY attempts where someone grouted Tremron pavers like tile and the grout cracked within a year because concrete pavers move differently than ceramic.
For identification, Tremron stamps product codes on the underside of most pavers and the back face of wall block. If you can’t find a stamp, measure the thickness in millimeters and check the edge profile: Tremron pavers have a slightly beveled edge, not a sharp 90-degree corner. When it comes to OEM versus aftermarket, Tremron doesn’t sell what we’d call bathroom-specific replacement parts. You’re really replacing the installation method, not the paver itself. We source Tremron product directly from Florida distributors when we need exact matches, and we use specification-grade aftermarket materials for the waterproofing and setting layers underneath. The aftermarket waterproof membrane matters more than the paver in a wet room.
One more compatibility gotcha specific to South Florida: Tremron pavers are porous. In dry climates that’s fine. In Fort Lauderdale humidity, unsealed Tremron pavers inside a bathroom will absorb shower steam, hold it, and eventually grow mildew underneath the surface. The fix is a penetrating sealer rated for interior wet areas, applied before grouting. Skip that step and you’ll be ripping it out within two years. We see it all the time.

Signs Your Tremron Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Grout lines cracking or crumbling along the paver joints. Concrete pavers expand and contract with temperature and moisture changes at a different rate than standard tile grout. In a bathroom that swings from hot shower steam to air-conditioned dry air, rigid grout doesn’t stand a chance. This is usually the first visible sign.
- A hollow sound when you tap or walk on the floor. That means the setting bed underneath the Tremron pavers has delaminated from the subfloor. Water got in through a cracked grout line or an unsealed edge, and now the bond is gone. The paver might look fine on top while the floor beneath is failing.
- Dark staining or a musty smell that won’t go away. Unsealed Tremron pavers wick moisture. In Fort Lauderdale’s heat and humidity, that moisture feeds mold inside the paver itself, not just on the surface. Bleach the surface all you want; if the paver isn’t sealed from within, the smell comes back.
- Water pooling near the shower threshold or vanity base. This often means the slope was set wrong when the Tremron floor went in. Pavers need a consistent 1/4-inch-per-foot pitch toward the drain, and if the installer treated it like a flat tile job, water sits instead of running. Pooling water on unsealed concrete pavers accelerates everything else on this list.
- A paver that rocks or wobbles underfoot. One loose paver means the setting bed has a void under it. That void will grow as foot traffic pumps water and air through the gap. Left alone, the surrounding pavers start moving too, and you go from a $300 repair to a full bathroom floor replacement.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
Here’s what a Tremron bathroom remodel costs in Fort Lauderdale right now, based on the scope of work involved:
- Full bathroom remodel with Tremron floor or feature wall: $9,000 – $28,000
- Small bathroom remodel with Tremron accents: $5,000 – $12,000
- Shower replacement with Tremron surround: $3,000 – $8,500
- Walk-in shower installation with Tremron floor: $4,500 – $12,000
- Bathroom vanity installation (Tremron-adjacent scope): $800 – $3,000
The range comes down to three things. First, how much demolition and subfloor repair the existing Tremron work requires: if the setting bed failed, you’re removing and rebuilding it, not just swapping pavers. Second, waterproofing scope: a full wet-room waterproofing system under a Tremron floor costs more than a standard tile underlayment, and in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, we won’t install Tremron in a bathroom without it. Third, product selection: replacing Tremron pavers with new Tremron product costs more than switching to a porcelain tile that mimics the look, and we’ll show you both options in writing before you decide.
Every quote we give is a written price, delivered before any work starts. No verbal estimates that grow on the final bill. And every project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we make it right at no cost to you. That includes the waterproofing, the paver setting, the grout, all of it. 365 days from the completion date, not a loose promise.
DIY or Call Us?
You can safely check a few things yourself: look for cracked grout lines, run your hand along paver edges for movement, and note whether the floor slopes toward the drain. Those observations help us diagnose over the phone. What you should not do is start prying up Tremron pavers or grinding out grout. Concrete pavers in a bathroom weigh 20 to 40 pounds each, and when one comes loose, the waterproofing membrane underneath usually tears with it. Now you’ve turned a cosmetic repair into a full re-waterproofing job, and if water has already reached the subfloor, you’re looking at mold remediation before any new floor goes in. That’s not a weekend project; that’s a structural issue.
We tell you what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it will cost before we touch a thing. That’s how Isaac Pruett runs every job, and it’s how every crew member works when they show up at your door in Fort Lauderdale.

FAQs
A properly sealed Tremron paver bathroom floor in Fort Lauderdale lasts 15 to 20 years before the sealer needs reapplication, and 25 years or more before the pavers themselves need replacement. The failure point is almost never the Tremron product; it’s the waterproofing layer underneath it. Unsealed or improperly set pavers fail within 2 to 5 years in Florida humidity. Call (754) 354-3720 for an exact assessment of your floor.
Yes, a single cracked or loose Tremron paver can usually be removed and replaced without touching the rest of the floor, provided the surrounding setting bed is intact. The caveat: matching a replacement paver’s color and texture requires the original product code, and Tremron discontinues colors periodically. We’ll source a match if one exists, and if it doesn’t, we’ll show you options that blend. Free estimates at (754) 354-3720.
A straightforward Tremron paver floor replacement in a Fort Lauderdale bathroom takes 3 to 5 working days from demolition to final grout and sealing. If the subfloor needs repair or the waterproofing system has to be rebuilt, plan for 5 to 8 working days. We give you a written timeline with your estimate, and we don’t start until you’ve approved the written price.
We stock Tremron pavers and wall block from Florida distributors, which means we can typically source exact matches within 3 to 5 business days without you lifting a finger. We also stock specification-grade waterproofing materials, penetrating sealers, and setting beds specifically for Tremron bathroom applications. We handle the entire procurement, and the price you see is the price you pay. For anything KraftMaid, Cambria, or Silestone in the same bathroom, we source those too. Call (754) 354-3720 to check current Tremron availability.
