Wellborn Bathroom Remodeling: The Los Angeles Owner’s Guide
We stock and install Wellborn-compatible bathroom cabinetry and hardware across Los Angeles, with a full remodel typically running $10,620 to $33,040 depending on scope. If you’ve got a Wellborn vanity with a sagging drawer, a delaminating door face, or hinges that won’t hold alignment, we can usually match the exact cabinet line and get parts ordered or the whole unit rebuilt within one to two weeks. Most homeowners discover the problem the hard way: a drawer that suddenly won’t close, a soft-close hinge that slams, or water-swollen MDF at the toe kick that tells you the vanity has been wicking moisture for months.
Bradford Remodeling is an independent contractor, not affiliated with Wellborn, but we work with their current product lines and know how their older series were built.
Which Wellborn Models This Applies To
Wellborn has run three main cabinet lines over the past two decades: the Premier Series (full-overlay doors, plywood boxes), the Estate Series (framed construction, raised-panel doors), and the Select Series (entry-level, particleboard boxes, standard overlay). Identifying yours matters because hinge plates, drawer guides, and door profiles changed between generations. Look inside the cabinet on the top left of the face frame or inside a drawer box: Wellborn stamps a date code and series abbreviation there. If the stamp is worn off, measure the door overlay. Premier doors overlap the face frame by roughly 1-1/4 inches. Select doors sit closer to 3/4 inch. That measurement tells us which hinge set and drawer slide you need before we even show up.
We recommend OEM Wellborn parts when we can get them from our supplier network, because their current soft-close hinges (Blum-manufactured, Wellborn-branded) carry a limited lifetime function warranty. For discontinued Select Series pulls and hinges, we use Blum or Salice aftermarket equivalents that match the screw pattern without redrilling.
Styles & brands we work with
Signs Your Wellborn Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Drawer face gap spreads at the top corners. The dovetail joint or the drawer box itself has loosened from repeated moisture cycling. In Los Angeles bathrooms without exhaust fans, this is the single most common Wellborn failure we see.
- Hinges sag or the door drops. Particleboard screw holes in the face frame strip out. An overlay repair plate usually fixes it, but if the hinge side of the cabinet has swollen from moisture, the door needs to be rehung on fresh framing.
- Toe kick or side panel swells at the floor line. Water is wicking. We find this in older Los Angeles homes with cast-iron supply lines that drip, or where tile grout at the tub curb has cracked and let shower water run.
- Drawer gets harder to pull, then binds. The slide is gummed with dust and mineral buildup from hard water. Soft-close slides are replaceable without pulling the cabinet, but if the drawer box has racked, the slide isn’t the real fix.
- Door veneer lifts at an edge. Thermofoil or laminate delaminates from prolonged steam exposure. Once it starts peeling, it won’t glue down flat again. The fix is a new door or drawer front, matched to the rest of the line.
Replacement Cost & What’s Included
A Wellborn bathroom remodel in Los Angeles runs $10,620 to $33,040 installed, with a smaller vanity-only job landing between $5,900 and $14,160. The spread depends on whether we’re swapping hardware on an existing Wellborn cabinet (hinges, slides, drawer guides), rebuilding drawers and doors in place, or pulling the whole vanity and resetting it with new Wellborn boxes. Here’s how the cost breaks down in Los Angeles:
- Hardware replacement only (hinges, slides, pulls, soft-close retrofits): $945 to $3,540
- Drawer box or door face rebuild on existing Wellborn cabinet: $2,360 to $7,670
- Full vanity replacement with Wellborn cabinet, counter, sink, and faucet rough-in: $5,900 to $14,160
- Complete bathroom remodel including Wellborn vanity, shower, flooring, tile, and fixtures: $10,620 to $33,040
Every price we quote is written before work begins. It includes the parts, labor, haul-away of the old cabinet, and the written 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything fails in the first year, we come back and correct it at no charge. The price you sign is the price you pay. No change orders unless you add scope.
DIY or Call Us?
You can tighten a hinge screw, adjust a drawer slide set screw, and replace a pull or knob without calling us, and we’ll tell you that straight. Where DIY goes wrong is pulling a Wellborn vanity loose without cutting the silicone bead first, or trying to shim a cabinet that’s mounted to studs that aren’t plumb. The cabinet goes back in crooked, the countertop joint cracks, and now the $300 repair is a $3,000 reset. If water has been running under the cabinet, the subfloor may need repair before anything gets reinstalled. If you suspect that’s the case, call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll put eyes on it.

AfterHow Much Does a Wellborn Bathroom Remodel Cost in Los Angeles?
A Wellborn bathroom remodel in Los Angeles typically costs $10,620 to $33,040, with the final number driven by whether you’re keeping your existing Wellborn cabinet or installing a new one, the size of the room, and the plumbing scope. A walk-in shower conversion with a new Wellborn vanity lands toward the middle of that range; a full gut with tile, glass, and new fixtures lands higher. The estimate is free, and it’s a written line-item price, not a ballpark.
Can My Wellborn Cabinet Be Repaired Instead of Replaced?
Yes, if the cabinet box is still square and dry. We rebuild drawer boxes, rehang doors on fresh hinge plates, and replace delaminated faces with Wellborn-matched parts on maybe 6 out of 10 service calls. If the particleboard has swollen from water, there’s no repair that holds: once the substrate is compromised, the joint will fail again. That’s when we recommend a new Wellborn vanity, and we’ll show you the damaged section so you can see why.
How Long Does the Swap Take?
A hardware-only fix runs 2 to 3 hours, start to finish, with the site cleaned and the old parts hauled. A full vanity replacement with countertop and plumbing typically takes one day, sometimes two if the old plumbing needs to be brought up to code. A complete Wellborn bathroom remodel in Los Angeles runs 2 to 4 weeks depending on tile and glass lead times. You’ll get a schedule in writing before we start, and we hold to it.
Do You Stock Wellborn Parts?
We stock the most common Wellborn hinges, soft-close drawer slides, and overlay plates on our trucks, plus a set of universal shims and moisture meters for the cabinet pulls we don’t carry. For line-specific doors, drawer faces, and finish-matched fillers, we order from our Wellborn supplier and usually have the part in hand within 10 business days. We also carry compatible hardware for KraftMaid, Cambria, and Silestone pieces when a bathroom mixes brands.
