A bathroom is a relatively inexpensive remodel, particularly compared to other rooms of the house. But it can go a long way in modernizing your home: Outdated bathroom fixtures are a telltale sign that a house has been neglected. Remodeling a bathroom will also improve the resale value of your home. <\/p>\n
The price of a bathroom remodel varies based on a number of factors, including the size of the bathroom, the type of fixtures you choose and whether you hire a contractor or tackle the project yourself. If you hire a contractor, the price will also be affected by local labor rates and the contractor\u2019s experience. <\/p>\n
A bathroom remodel could cost just $500<\/strong> or upwards of $25,000.<\/strong> The low end of that range involves tackling a few cosmetic issues yourself, such as repainting and replacing the sink. The high end covers a full, upscale remodel with replacement of all fixtures, flooring and plumbing, and potentially structural changes such as moving walls to enlarge the bathroom or relocating a shower. <\/p>\n However, the vast majority of bathroom remodels fall in the $5,000 to $20,000<\/strong> range. That includes replacing all flooring, fixtures and wall coverings. <\/p>\n Below are cost estimates for some specific upgrades. However, keep in mind that these are just averages. You can always spend more for upscale items. <\/p>\n

\n <\/ul>\n Despite all the costs, keep in mind that a bathroom remodel provides a good return on investment. Homeowners usually recoup at least 80 percent of the cost when they sell, which is higher than what people get for most other rooms.<\/p>\n Hourly rates vary from one contractor to the next and one region of the country to the next. Generally, expect to pay about: <\/p>\n

\n <\/ul>\n In very rural areas, prices might be slightly lower. In major cities or areas with a very high cost of living, prices could be much higher.<\/p>\n The average job takes anywhere from one to four weeks, but don\u2019t expect to have to pay your contractor for eight hours worth of labor, each day, for the duration of the job. There will likely be delays and\/or days off as the contractor waits for supplies to arrive and deals with unexpected changes and problems.<\/p>\n
