Perico Bay bathrooms tell the story of a 1980s and 1990s waterfront community. The builder-grade tubs and single vanities in the original villas. The dated step-in showers and fiberglass surrounds in condos that have not been touched since move-in. For many active-adult owners, the tub is now a hazard more than a feature. CMK has been transforming bathrooms across western Manatee County for over two decades.
We understand shared-wall plumbing in condos and villas, the coastal material choices that hold up to Palma Sola Bay humidity and salt air, and the Manatee County permit requirements for unincorporated Perico Island. From a simple tub-to-shower conversion to a full spa master suite with a curbless walk-in shower, we've done it all, and we plan around your Perico Bay Club or condo association approvals.
From a single shower update to a full primary suite, CMK handles every part of your bathroom remodel.
Custom tiled showers with frameless glass, niches, benches, and curbless wet rooms, every one waterproofed to outlast the house.

Don't see your community? Call us. We serve Perico Bay and all of western Manatee County (34209, 34205, 34207, 34215, 34216, 34217) and surrounding areas.
The bathrooms in Perico Bay's original villas and condos were built for utility, not comfort. Single vanities. Step-in showers with fiberglass surrounds. Builder-grade tubs that are now more of a hazard than a feature. They worked when the community went up in the 1980s and 1990s. They don't work now.
CMK specializes in turning dated Perico Bay bathrooms into the spa-like, easy-to-use spaces today's owners expect. For Perico Bay Club villas, that often means reclaiming the tub space for a curbless walk-in shower and rerouting plumbing that has not been touched in decades. For Palma Sola and west Bradenton condos, it means working carefully around shared walls and association rules. And for owners planning to stay for the long term, it means aging-in-place features, grab-bar blocking, comfort-height fixtures, and zero-threshold entries, built with materials that stand up to Palma Sola Bay humidity and salt air.
Every bathroom CMK remodels gets Schluter waterproofing under every tile. It's a lifetime-warrantied membrane that most contractors skip, and it's the single biggest difference between a bathroom that lasts 30 years and one that starts leaking in 10, which matters even more this close to the water.
Perico Bay homeowners have choices. Here's why so many of them have chosen CMK, and why they refer us to their neighbors.
Lifetime-warranted waterproofing membrane installed under every tile we lay. No paint-on membranes, no skipped steps. Built to last 30+ years in Florida's humidity and salt air.

Real reviews from bathroom remodel clients across Perico Bay, Perico Island, Palma Sola, west Bradenton, and the Anna Maria Island communities.
"Our Perico Island master bath remodel was the best home investment we've ever made. CMK demo'd the original 1990s bathroom, rerouted the plumbing, and installed a double vanity and a curbless walk-in shower we can use for years. The whole project was on schedule and our PM kept us informed throughout."
"We had a tub-to-shower conversion done by CMK in our Perico Bay Club villa. They handled the association approval and the Manatee County permit, the Schluter waterproofing was explained in detail, and the finished tile work is exceptional. Couldn't be happier."
"Our Palma Sola condo bathroom needed a full gut. CMK was the only contractor who could clearly explain the waterproofing process before we signed. They worked around the building's rules and delivered exactly what they promised, on time."
"CMK remodeled our Holmes Beach master bath with coastal materials in mind. They knew what tile and hardware would hold up to the salt air this close to the Gulf. Beautiful work. The frameless glass shower is the centerpiece of the room now."
"The walk-in shower CMK built for us is exactly what we envisioned. Custom tile, linear drain, frameless glass, and a zero-threshold entry. The project manager visited the site multiple times a week and the project came in on budget."
"We wanted our west Bradenton guest bath to be easier to use as we get older. CMK converted the old tub to a walk-in shower with grab-bar blocking and comfort-height fixtures, kept the finishes bright and modern, and the room feels twice as usable now."
Bathrooms are the single most common place a remodel goes wrong years after it finishes, almost always because of how the shower was waterproofed. These are the questions worth asking any Perico Bay contractor before signing a contract, with any company, not just CMK.
Why it matters: This is the single biggest difference between a 5-year bathroom and a 30-year bathroom. Perico Bay's waterfront humidity destroys inferior waterproofing.
Good answer: A name-brand sheet membrane system (Schluter-KERDI, Wedi, or equivalent) installed under every tile, with the manufacturer's lifetime warranty in writing.
Why it matters: Unlicensed contractors can void your homeowner's insurance and leave you personally liable for code violations.
Good answer: A state-issued CGC license number on every estimate, plus a CFC plumbing license on file. CMK is CGC 1516665 with plumbing under CFC 1430533.
Why it matters: Homeowner-pulled permits make you personally liable for code compliance, not the contractor.
Good answer: The contractor pulls every Manatee County permit and schedules every inspection at no extra charge.
Why it matters: Without a named project manager, you'll spend the build chasing updates from a salesperson who's already moved on.
Good answer: A named PM, a real person you can call, who visits the job multiple times per week and communicates daily.
Why it matters: "We stand behind our work" is not a warranty. Get it in writing, especially on waterproofing.
Good answer: A written warranty on workmanship and materials, plus a separate manufacturer warranty on the waterproofing membrane. CMK's Peace of Mind Warranty covers both.
Why it matters: Tile and stone look completely different in catalog photos than they do in real samples under real lighting.
Good answer: A real showroom where you handle tile samples, vanity finishes, fixtures, and shower glass before anything is ordered. The CMK Sarasota Design Studio on Clark Rd is open to active clients.
