| Bathroom remodeling costs scale according to: |
 |
size of the bathroom |
|
complexity of structure or plumbing to be moved |
|
the cost of the finish items such as vanities, countertop, plumbing fixtures, shower door, etc. |
|
Remodeling costs for a 40-50 square foot bathroom can be divided in three levels (as a guideline of course) -
Reface - $2500-$5000
If the general layout and size of the bathroom is sufficient, and there is no water damage or structural issues, a "reface" project is often considered. The theme for this type of bathroom remodel is "cover, not replace." |
| |
- Replace vanity, countertop, and sink (in this case the most cost effective approach is the pre-assembled vanity, granite countertop, and sink)
- Replace toilet
- Install new towel racks and hardware
- Update lighting and new exhaust fan
- Patch/texture existing drywall, repaint walls and ceiling
- Flooring and tub/shower tile remains intact. |
|
| |
New Layout - $6000-$13,000
The structure of the room is intact and there is a desire for some rearranging, such as moving the toilet and vanity locations to accommodate a modern floor plan. |
| |
- Move toilet location, move vanity location
- Install new vanity, countertop, sink
- Install new toilet
- Install new towel racks and hardware
- Update lighting and new exhaust fan
- Patch/texture existing drywall, repaint walls and ceiling
- Shower/tub location and wall tile remains intact. |
|
| |
Complete Tear-Out/Remodel - $14,000-$22,000
New floor plan and all new finished items. Completely change tub/shower unit and all associated tile, new glass shower enclosure, tile flooring. Make the neighbor jealous. |
| |

- Install new tile flooring and tile baseboard (ceramic or porcelin)
- Install new vanity, countertop, sink
