Riverview has exploded with new construction over the past decade, but a lot of those bathrooms came with the same builder-grade package: a plain acrylic tub-shower, basic floor tile, and finishes that look dated faster than anyone expects. Whether you're updating a newer home off Big Bend Road or a more established place near the Alafia River, a full bathroom remodel is the upgrade that pays you back every single day.
Konar Bros Tile Co. is a family-run tile company serving Riverview and all of Tampa Bay. A bathroom remodel touches a lot of trades, but the tile is the part you see, touch, and depend on to keep water where it belongs — and it's what we do best. We waterproof every wet area to a Schluter-grade standard, work one project at a time, never use subcontractors, and back the job with our 10-year workmanship and waterproofing warranty.
What a Full Bathroom Remodel Involves
A complete bathroom remodel in Riverview generally means tearing the room down to the studs and subfloor, then rebuilding it: new shower or tub, new floor, updated vanity and fixtures, fresh tile on walls and floors, and a layout that actually works for how you live.
Our focus is the tile and waterproofing — the structural heart of the project. We handle demo and haul-away, substrate correction, full waterproofing, and precision tile setting for showers, floors, and accent walls. We coordinate cleanly around plumbing and electrical work so the whole project flows.
The goal is a bathroom that's not just prettier but fundamentally better built than the builder-grade original — one that won't be leaking behind the walls in five years. Browse our full tile services to see the complete scope of what we install.
Waterproofing: The Part That Protects Everything Else
It's tempting to spend the whole budget on what shows — the tile, the vanity, the fixtures. But in a Florida bathroom, the most important dollars go into what you'll never see again once the walls close up: the waterproofing.
We use a Schluter-grade membrane system in every wet area: pre-sloped shower pans, bonded wall waterproofing, sealed niches and benches, and the right uncoupling membrane on floors to prevent grout cracks from seasonal movement. Skip this and Riverview's humidity will find a way in — mold, rot, and lifting tile follow.
This is the corner most contractors cut to win a bid, and it's the corner we never cut. It's a major reason we've kept a zero-callback record over eight years. If you want to understand the system, read Schluter vs traditional waterproofing in Florida.
Design Choices That Define Your New Bathroom
The shower. A custom tiled walk-in is the centerpiece of most remodels — curbless or curbed, with niches, a bench, and large-format panels or a patterned accent. If you currently have an unused tub, a tub-to-shower conversion frees up serious space.
The floor. Porcelain is our default for Riverview bathrooms — dense, water-resistant, and low-maintenance. Wood-look porcelain plank brings warmth, while large-format tile gives a clean, low-grout look. We'll match grout color to your tile during the design consult.
Materials and finishes. From classic subway and marble-look porcelain to mosaic accents, the options are wide open. Our free design consultation walks you through tile selection, grout color, and where to buy — at no extra charge — so the finished bathroom looks exactly like what you pictured.
