That bathroom floor takes more abuse than almost any other surface in your home. Constant moisture, temperature changes, and daily foot traffic quickly expose materials that weren’t meant for bathroom use. If you’re like many San Diego homeowners, you’re dealing with flooring that warps, stains, or always feels cold and dated.
We install luxury vinyl plank flooring designed specifically for bathrooms. No swelling, no cracking, no surfaces that feel slick or uncomfortable. Just durable, water-resistant flooring that looks great and holds up to daily use, installed in days—not weeks.
Why San Diego Homeowners Choose Nulux
Here’s what we’ve learned after 65+ years of San Diego bathroom projects: bathroom flooring fails when it’s installed like standard flooring instead of treated as part of a wet environment. Subfloor prep, moisture control, and proper transitions make all the difference.
Older homes in Clairemont and North Park often have uneven subfloors, while newer builds in Carmel Valley and Scripps Ranch present different challenges with expansion and moisture movement. We’ve seen vinyl flooring fail when installers skip leveling, rush waterproofing, or ignore drainage patterns.
We’ve solved these problems hundreds of times. Our full-time installers know how to prep subfloors correctly, manage moisture exposure, and install luxury vinyl plank flooring so it stays flat, secure, and comfortable underfoot. We handle permits when required, show up when we say we will, and back our work with a lifetime warranty because we’re not going anywhere.
We recently had our primary bathroom completely remodeled by NuLux, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish.
Our old bathroom was enormous, but not in a good way. The shower alone was over 11 feet long and 4+ feet wide, complete with a glass block wall, shower seat, and a 10-foot-long shower hose just to clean the thing. The walls and floor were covered in 2” x 2” tile, which meant endless grout cleaning. Worse yet, the shower floor sloped away from the drain on one side, so water constantly pooled and had to be squeegeed after almost every use. At one point I considered throwing gold fish into the puddle end.
The design itself never really made sense. The ceiling was 10 feet high, but the shower head sat at only about 6.5 feet. The sinks were mounted above the tiled counters with raised lips reminiscent of a TikTok influencer. Unfortunately, these lips specialized in trapping mold instead of followers. One of the sinks’ lips were so big the surround cracked. Perhaps lip balm would have helped.
And then there was the bathtub.
No one really used the tub over the 2.33 decades we lived here. I once calculated the tub could comfortably harbor a puncheon of whisky and still leave room for rubber ducks.
Even Jim, from NuLux , said it was one of the largest tubs he had ever seen.
So, yes. It was time to reimagine this bathroom and that is why we contracted with NuLux. They transformed the space.
Jim suggested removing a wall and replacing it with glass, which dramatically opened the space and allowed light to pour through the room. The oversized tub was removed and that space is evolving into a beautiful niche area with plants, wine fridge, and an espresso maker — which, frankly, will get infinitely more use than the tub ever did.
The new shower is about 8 feet long, beautifully designed, and perfectly sloped so water actually drains where water is supposed to drain. Imagine that. The new cabinetry is gorgeous, handcrafted locally with a stain that worthy of patent pending. The sinks are now mounted below the quartzite countertops. Both are elegant and practical.
Throughout the process, Gael, Mike, Jim, and others kept us informed every step of the way. Gael texted every morning to let us know when he would arrive. Communication was consistently excellent. Multiple craftsmen worked on the project, and every person who came into the house was professional and skilled.
The project took a little longer than originally estimated, but much of that was due to demolition. Apparently the original builders believed in constructing shower walls out of approximately half the Hoover Dam. During demolition, Gael discovered 2” to 6” of concrete encasing parts of the shower base and walls. Jim joked that the house probably felt lighter after they removed it.
In the end, the entire process was smooth, professional, and worth it. NuLux specializes only in bathrooms, and it shows. Their experience, craftsmanship, communication, and design ideas transformed a dated and awkward space into something beautiful, functional, and relaxing.
When we eventually remodel our smaller bathrooms, NuLux will be the only company we call.
Day 1. They lived up to their “no change orders” policy even though we had some surprises after demo. They got our bathroom up to code and finished on time. Every person involved from start to finish was wonderful.
Highly recommend the NuLux Team .
Yeah, I can fix this.

Is Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring Right for Your San Diego Home?
The real question isn’t whether you can install vinyl plank flooring—it’s whether it fits how your bathroom is used.
If you want a warm, comfortable floor that resists water and holds up to daily use, luxury vinyl plank flooring makes a lot of sense. It’s especially popular for homeowners who want a clean, modern look without worrying about moisture damage.
But if you’re set on natural stone or tile and don’t mind colder surfaces or grout maintenance, vinyl plank may not be the right choice. Flooring should match both your style and how much upkeep you want long term.
The homes where we see the biggest transformation are those where flooring has become a constant problem—peeling edges, water damage, or surfaces that never feel clean. A properly installed vinyl plank floor doesn’t just improve the look of the bathroom; it improves how the space feels every day.
