Kitchen & Bath Updates in Los Angeles
Tile repair, backsplash installs, vanity swaps, and shower door replacements — the kitchen and bath updates that don't need a full remodel.
NC Services handles kitchen and bath updates that skip the cabinet demo and plumbing moves — tile repair, backsplash installs, vanity swaps, shower doors, and sink or hardware replacement. You get an insured handyman crew, not a licensed contractor, so the scope stays at fixture and surface level. A full remodel is a different project, and if your job needs one, we'll say so upfront and point you toward a licensed contractor. Book once, and you'll know what's fixable today and roughly what it costs.
What we handle
- Bathroom tile repair and shower tile repair cover cracked or loose tile that gets swapped out instead of a full retile, whenever the surrounding tile allows a close match.
- Tile replacement handles a section too damaged to patch, while grout repair and grout cleaning and sealing stop water from finding its way behind the wall in the first place.
- Kitchen backsplash installation and tile backsplash installation get cut cleanly around outlets, cabinets, and countertop lines, whether you're set on subway tile installation or a different pattern.
- Bathroom vanity replacement covers the full swap — cabinet, top, and sink. Vanity top replacement alone keeps your existing cabinet and updates just the counter and sink on top of it.
- Medicine cabinet installation and bathroom mirror installation round out a vanity update, or get booked on their own when that's the only piece that needs replacing.
- Shower door replacement swaps an old sliding or hinged door for a cleaner frameless or semi-frameless look, sized to fit your existing shower pan and walls.
- Tub surround installation freshens up the walls around a bathtub without a full tile teardown, and bathroom hardware installation covers the towel bars and grab bars that finish the job.
- Minor kitchen remodel and bathroom refresh service both mean updating what's tired without opening walls — sink replacement and kitchen hardware installation included.

What it costs in LA
Kitchen and bath pricing depends more on scope than the job type — a hardware swap costs far less than a vanity replacement. A standard subway tile backsplash in LA typically runs $200–$1,500 installed, depending on square footage and tile choice (Angi, 2026). Tile and grout spot repairs, mirror hangs, and hardware swaps usually land toward the lower end of that range. A full remodel gets priced separately by a licensed contractor. These are typical ranges, not a quote — we'll confirm your price after taking a look.
Questions homeowners ask
Do you handle full kitchen or bathroom remodels?
This is minor update work — tile repair, backsplash installs, vanity swaps, shower doors, and sink or hardware replacement — not a gut remodel. A full kitchen or bathroom remodel involves moving plumbing, opening walls, or reconfiguring the layout, which calls for a licensed contractor. That distinction gets flagged upfront, before any work starts. Everything within fixture and surface scope stays covered by insurance.
Can you match new tile to what's already on the wall?
Matching existing tile exactly gets harder the older a bathroom is, since manufacturers discontinue lines over time. A close match is usually possible for grout color, spacing, and finish, even when the exact tile isn't available anymore. Small repairs — a few cracked tiles, a resealed section of grout — blend in better than a full retile attempt. Bringing a photo or a spare tile speeds up the match.
How long does a backsplash installation take?
A standard kitchen backsplash, roughly 30 to 35 square feet of subway or basic tile, usually finishes in a single day. Cutting around outlets, switches, and cabinet edges takes more time than setting the tile itself. Grout needs time to cure before it's safe to wipe down or get wet, so heavy kitchen use should wait until the next day. Larger or more intricate patterns add time.
What's involved in swapping out a bathroom vanity?
Bathroom vanity replacement covers removing the old cabinet, sink, and top, then installing the new unit and reconnecting the plumbing. Medicine cabinet installation and bathroom mirror installation are common add-ons during the same visit. A vanity-top-only swap is an option too, keeping the existing cabinet and updating just the counter and sink. Measurements get checked against your plumbing rough-in before anything gets ordered.
Frameless or framed — which shower door makes more sense?
Framed and semi-frameless doors cost less and install faster, since they use less glass and simpler hardware. Frameless doors run higher but give a cleaner, more open look that plenty of bathrooms benefit from. Either style gets sized and installed to fit your existing shower pan and walls. Tub surround installation is a lower-cost option when a full glass door isn't the goal.
Is a sink or hardware swap too small a job to book?
Small jobs are a regular part of the schedule, not something squeezed in around bigger projects. Sink replacement, cabinet hardware, and a handful of new knobs or pulls all get booked the same way as a larger update. Bundling several small items into one visit, like new hardware and a sink, usually costs less per item than separate trips. Most small jobs finish in a single visit.
How do you decide if my job is remodel-scale instead of handyman-scale?
The line comes down to whether plumbing needs to move, walls need to open, or the layout needs to change. Tile, backsplash, vanity, shower door, and hardware work usually stay within fixture and surface scope. If something turns out bigger once the job's underway, that gets flagged right away, with a plain explanation of what's out of scope. A referral to a licensed contractor follows, so the project doesn't stall.
