Bathroom Remodel Costs by Scope
Cosmetic refresh ($1,500-3,500): New paint, fixtures, hardware, mirror, and accessories. No construction. Mid-range remodel ($6,000-15,000): New vanity, tile floor, tub surround or shower tile, fixtures, and lighting. Full gut renovation ($15,000-35,000): Everything new including moving plumbing, new layout, and custom features. Luxury ($35,000-75,000): Custom tile, heated floors, frameless glass, designer fixtures, and smart features.
Where the Money Goes
Labor: 40-50% of total cost. Tile: 15-25% (varies enormously by selection). Vanity + countertop: 10-15%. Fixtures: 8-12%. Plumbing/electrical: 10-15% (more if moving lines). The highest ROI bathroom upgrades: new vanity and mirror (instant visual transformation), tile floor (removes dated linoleum), and modern fixtures (low cost, big impact).
The highest-ROI bathroom update costs under $200: replace faucets, cabinet hardware, towel bars, and the mirror. These small changes photograph well for listings and feel like a renovation.
