What do you get for your money?\u00a0Here\u2019s an approximate idea of bathroom remodel price tiers with the kinds of components homeowners choose for each.<\/p>\n $6,500 \u2013 $18,000 |<\/strong> Basic-quality fixtures and lighting. Vinyl tub\/shower unit, laminate countertop, laminate flooring or sheet vinyl flooring, few frills if any.<\/p>\n $16,000 \u2013 $30,000 |<\/strong> Midgrade fixtures and lighting. Standard tub and shower with tiled shower walls. Laminate or solid surface countertop. Tile floors, luxury vinyl or engineered hardwood flooring. Perhaps one luxury component like a heated towel warmer or jetted tub.<\/p>\n $26,000 \u2013 $40,000 | <\/strong>Premium-quality fixtures and lighting. Separate tub and tiled shower or combination with sliding glass door. Tile or engineered hardwood floors. Better countertops like soapstone or granite. A couple luxury items like a steam shower, radiant heated floor, jetted tub and a tankless water heater to supply it.<\/p>\n $36,000 \u2013 $55,000+<\/strong> |<\/strong> Most or all luxury-level components. Upscale, tiled shower with built-in bench, steam function and\/or double shower heads, separate tub \u2013 possibly jetted, walk-in tub, or stand-alone. Stone-tiled walls. Premium countertop, such as a marble countertop, with two sinks. Porcelain tile or stone-tiled floor with radiant heat, towel warmer, bathroom heater, etc. Costs rise further if the bathroom size is expanded or if a skylight or window is added.<\/p>\n Homeowners often determine their budget and then work with a contractor to mix and match the type and quality of the components they want to use.\u00a0Bathroom renovation cost factors with full details are discussed next.<\/p>\n Perhaps itemized cost ranges for the components in a bathroom remodeling project will help you narrow your estimates. Keep in mind that the range covers options from basic\/budget to midgrade to premium\/luxury.<\/p>\n As a rule, \u201cbetter\u201d grade costs about 50% more than \u201cbasic\u201d grade. And \u201cbest\u201d grade costs about 1x-5x more than \u201cbetter\u201d grade. These are retail costs.<\/p>\n Installation costs range from about 60% of the total when affordable components are chosen and 40% for installing premium items.<\/p>\n Those prices cover components found in most bathrooms. You can always spend more. For example, a TOTO Neorest toilet retails for about $5,000.<\/p>\n See Related Projects below for luxury items and costs from plumbing and electrical changes.<\/p>\n As you can see, there\u2019s a huge cost range for bathroom remodeling. Looking at cost per square foot, the bathroom is easily the most expensive room in the house.<\/p>\n The good news for cost-conscious homeowners is that bathroom remodeling can be done on a budget. For those who have an unlimited budget, the bathroom can be turned into a personal spa, a luxurious \u201cget-away\u201d of sorts. Most budgets are somewhere in between.<\/p>\n These cost factors will assist you in narrowing your estimate.<\/p>\n Pro-tip:<\/strong> Speaking of scheduling your bath remodel, start planning as early as possible. With supply chain issues still plaguing the remodeling industry, you might have to wait months for some of your preferred materials and components. Or be ready to change your selections to work with what is available.<\/p>\n The timeframe below shows how long things take once work begins.<\/p>\n But a successful bathroom remodeling project starts months in advance \u2013 learning about your options, browsing everything from flooring to fixtures, considering and interviewing contractors, ordering materials and waiting for them to come in, so the project can begin.<\/p>\n That part of the project usually takes a minimum of 4 months, and 12 months isn\u2019t uncommon for many homeowners.<\/p>\n A skilled general contractor will keep the flow of work moving along, planning the subcontractors so that there are few days if any when work isn\u2019t taking place.<\/p>\n Here are links to full cost estimates, or Business Finance News, of projects associated with bathroom remodeling.<\/p>\n If so, head over to our Business Finance News Pro\u2019s page, and help us make this page better and more accurate for both our visitors and your future customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Most homeowners can complete part or all of the project if they are so inclined.<\/p>\n It depends on your skill level, time to give to the project and your ability to do the hard work needed to complete a bathroom remodel.<\/p>\n Demo \u2013<\/strong> Remove the old sink, countertop, vanity, mirror, toilet, light fixture and tub enclosure. Tear up flooring. If part of the job, remove drywall.<\/p>\n Plumbing\/Electrical\/Mechanical\/Construction \u2013<\/strong> These are the things you typically need a permit and inspection for. They include making electrical and plumbing changes, installing radiant floor heating, wiring a wall heater or similar and adjusting the framing for a window, skylight or expansion of the space into adjoining room.<\/p>\n Finish Projects \u2013<\/strong> These come in a range of difficulties. The components of the job they cover include the tub, shower, toilet, drywall, flooring, lighting, vanity, sink and faucet, wall heater, fan or towel warmer, and painting.<\/p>\n Setting a toilet or installing a light fixture to a prepared electrical box are fairly easy. Installing a tub enclosure is a 2-person job, while tiling walls or flooring takes acquired skills.<\/p>\n Is bathroom remodeling a DIY project? There are so many tasks to consider, that no single answer applies.<\/p>\n Discuss the scope of the work with your bathroom contractor and find ways to provide labor on jobs you\u2019re comfortable with. You might find cost savings and the satisfaction that comes with completing the tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Average Cost to Remodel a Bathroom by Size The average cost to hire a contractor to remodel your bathroom depends quite a bit on the size and type of bathroom being remodeled as well as the depth of the remodel.
