Cambridge Pavers Bathroom Remodeling: The Orlando Owner’s Guide
Cambridge Pavers bathroom remodeling in Orlando typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 installed, depending on whether you’re refreshing a guest bath or gutting a master suite down to the studs. We stock and install Cambridge-compatible paver materials for bathroom floors, shower surrounds, and accent walls, and we can usually have the materials on site within a week. Most Orlando homeowners call us after noticing loose pavers, cracked grout lines, or water staining along the floor edge where the shower meets the paver surface.
Here’s what you should know before you buy anything: Cambridge Pavers makes exterior-grade paving stones first. When those products get used inside a bathroom, the install details matter more than the paver itself. Slope, waterproofing, and drainage don’t change because the room is indoors. If the original installer treated bathroom pavers like a patio, you’ll see problems within two or three Florida summers.
Which Cambridge Pavers Models This Applies To
Cambridge Pavers has been manufacturing concrete pavers in New Jersey since 1994, and their catalog splits into two lines you’ll see in Orlando bathrooms. The Ledgestone line is a dimensional wall paver, sometimes used for shower accent walls or vanity backsplashes. The Maytrx and Pavingstone lines are flatter, denser units more often used for bathroom floors and shower pans. Sizes run from roughly 3″ x 6″ up to 12″ x 12″, with thickness starting around 1.25″.
The gotcha: Cambridge Pavingstones are rated for exterior freeze-thaw cycles and vehicle loads. That means they’re dense and slightly porous, which matters in a wet bathroom. You want a sealer rated for interior wet-area use on top of them, and you want the installer to check the flatness tolerance before laying anything. We’re an independent service provider, not affiliated with Cambridge Pavers, but we’ve installed enough of their product in Orlando homes to know which batches hold up and which need a sealer pass before grout ever touches them.
When matching a failed part, we ask for the original invoice or a photo of the pallet tag. Cambridge stamps their name into the side of most pavers, but the color code matters more than the name for matching. The same color name can shift between production runs, so if you have a partial box of the original pavers, keep it. We’ll match the dye lot from that stock rather than ordering blind.

Signs Your Cambridge Pavers Bathroom Remodeling Is Failing
- Grout cracking along the floor perimeter: This is almost always a subfloor deflection issue. Pavers are rigid; if the substrate underneath flexes, the grout fails before the paver does. In Orlando slab-on-grade homes this can also mean a settling issue.
- Paver edges lipping or chipping: Lippage, where one paver sits proud of its neighbor, puts body weight on the edges and not the face. You’ll see chips first at the shower threshold where the step is highest.
- Water staining or discoloration:
at grout lines near the drain:
If the paver floor wasn’t sealed with an interior-grade penetrating sealer, the pavers wick water upward and mineral deposits show as white or yellowish rings. - A hollow sound when you tap a paver: Hollow spots mean the paver has debonded from its mortar bed or the mortar bed never fully adhered in the first place. This spreads tile by tile if left alone.
- Mold or mildew you can’t scrub from the grout joints: Orlando humidity will find any crack in the waterproofing layer. Once organic growth gets underneath a paver floor, surface cleaning can’t reach it.

AfterReplacement Cost & What’s Included
A full Cambridge Pavers bathroom remodel in Orlando runs $9,000 to $28,000 installed. The low end covers a smaller guest bath with a paver floor, basic vanity, and standard fixtures. The high end is a master suite with a full walk-in shower using Cambridge Ledgestone, a custom shower pan, new cabinetry, and upgraded plumbing fixtures from our supply partners at Kohler and Moen.
What drives the range: the size of the bathroom, whether the shower pan needs demolition and re-sloping, whether waterproofing needs to be replaced behind the walls, and how much of the existing subfloor or slab needs leveling before pavers go down. If you’re replacing just a failed paver section and the waterproofing is intact, a repair scope can run lower, often in the $3,000 to $6,000 range.
Every project includes a written price before any work starts. No verbal estimate that grows at the end. No change orders on top of change orders. You’ll see the parts, the labor, the sealers, and the waste disposal all itemized.
Our work is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if anything we installed isn’t right within a year of the completion date, we fix it at no cost to you. That includes the paver work, the waterproofing, and any fixture we set.
DIY or Call Us?
There’s a safe version of DIY here, and an unsafe one. You can safely pop a loose single paver, inspect what’s underneath, and take photos. You can safely reseal the surface with an interior-grade penetrating sealer from a masonry supply house in Orlando. What you shouldn’t do is pull up a shower floor to inspect the waterproofing, because what’s underneath is a mortar bed and a membrane, and one wrong chisel strike means water goes through your ceiling below. If you see loose pavers inside the shower footprint, stop, take a photo, and call us.
Isaac Pruett has seen enough Orlando bathroom tear-outs to know this: the pavers almost never fail first. The waterproofing or the subfloor does. So before you order replacement pavers, figure out why the originals failed. Tell me what the problem is. We’ll figure out the rest from there. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll look at it.
FAQs
When installed correctly over a stable substrate with proper waterproofing and sealed annually, Cambridge pavers in an Orlando bathroom can last 30 years or more. The pavers themselves are durable concrete; what fails first in Florida is the grout, the sealer, or the membrane beneath them, typically within 7 to 12 years. If you’re replacing a failed paver floor before the 10-year mark, the original install is usually the reason. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll confirm what’s going on before you spend money.
Yes, in many cases a single loose paver or a small section can be re-bedded and re-grouted without replacing the entire floor, provided the waterproofing beneath is intact. We stock color-matched grout and mortar for Cambridge pavers on our trucks. If the waterproofing layer has failed, spot repairs won’t hold and a larger redo is the honest answer. Call (850) 920-7745 for a free assessment.
A small bathroom paver floor replacement takes 2 to 3 days including demo, substrate prep, install, grout, and sealer. A full bathroom remodel with pavers, new fixtures, and cabinetry typically runs 2 to 4 weeks depending on scope. We’ll give you a written schedule with a start date and progress milestones before work begins. Call (850) 920-7745 to get the timeline for your specific bathroom.
We keep common grout, mortar, thin-set, and sealer products for Cambridge pavers on our trucks, and we order the pavers themselves direct with color-match confirmation before installation. We also work with KraftMaid and Cambria cabinetry and Silestone surfaces if your remodel needs more than paver work. Call (850) 920-7745 and we’ll tell you what’s in stock and what’s a special order.
