How to Save Money
A cosmetic refresh (new paint, hardware, light fixtures, mirror) costs $500-2,000 and transforms the look without touching plumbing. Mid-range remodels replace the vanity, toilet, and tile. Full gut renovations move plumbing, expand the shower, and upgrade everything. Labor is 40% of bathroom costs because the work is skilled (waterproofing, tile, plumbing).
