A significant factor in determining how much it costs to remodel a bathroom is the type of bathroom remodel you want. Do you want it basic, mid-range, or deluxe?

• Basic Bathroom Remodel – small bathrooms – those with 40 square feet or less – typically fall into this category. And the works usually needed here are not too costly. That’s because it often only involves purchasing economical fixtures and doing uncomplicated plumbing upgrades. So, how much does it cost to remodel a small bathroom? It ranges from $4,500-$15,000.
• Mid-range Bathroom Remodel – the bathroom renovation cost for a mid-range bathroom is higher. It’s because the bathroom size is usually bigger, and almost everything gets changed – from adding new fixtures, changing its layout, lighting modifications, and even upgrades like heated floors. Bathroom remodel cost for this type averages around $15,500 – $25,500.
• Deluxe Bathroom Remodel – a master bath remodel usually falls here. This type of remodel is the most luxurious, as it typically involves using high-end fixtures, top of the line materials, a double vanity, jacuzzi, etc. Everything in here is premium so that it transforms the average bathroom to something like a personal spa at home. This type of bathroom makeover costs $30,000 and above.

Fixtures are the main elements of your bathroom. So, you’ll have to choose them carefully. You’ll have to answer some questions, like:

• Will you be buying new fixtures?
• Will you be changing the layout, and subsequently re-arrange the plumbing of your bathroom?
• Do you need a tub, or is it better for you to have a walk-in shower? What kind should you get?
• What type of vanity would you like?

Listed below are the most common bathroom fixtures and their average price ranges:

• Sinks – with the wide variety available, the cost of a sink can range between $200 to as much as $5,000.

• Toilet Bowls – a one-piece unit costs around $150-$1,500,  while a basic two-piece unit averages around $90. Toilet bowls with a standard height of 15” costs around $105-$1,150 and the higher ones in 17” – 19” sizes can cost as high as $1,250.  The latter type, although a bit costlier, is best for the aging population because of the comfort that its higher height brings.
• Countertop – premium materials, like quartz and natural stone, usually costs $100/sq ft, while more economical ones, such as cultured marble, laminate, or tiles, are priced at around $4/sq ft.
• Vanity – one of the largest bathroom pieces, it sets the tone of a bathroom’s design. A vanity can cost as low as $200(bought as a set) and as high as $20,000 (for custom-made designs)
• Shower – walk-in showers usually cost $450-$1,000, while tub/shower combos get priced at around $500-$1,000. Aside from the type of shower, you also need to consider the shower mixing valves, which can either be pressure-balancing valves ($150-$400) or thermostatic valves ($400-$1,200)
• Bathtubs – A new tub can cost as low as $300 as high as $5,000, depending on its additional features. Bathtubs nowadays are equipped with the latest technology for different experiences, such as:
  • Whirlpool jets for hydrotherapy and massage
  • Mood lighting
  • Built-in pumps that diffuse scents for aromatherapy
  • Selective heating of tubs
• Tiles – Ceramic and porcelain types are the most popular ones. Always take into consideration the different materials for the bathroom floor and the shower floor/wall.

• Lighting – On average, the total cost for recessed lighting in a bathroom is around $150-$200 per fixture. Scones or wall lights typically cost $50-$300 per scone. Multi-light fixtures cost $400 or more, while customized lightings can go as high as $1,000.
• Ventilation – Bathroom exhaust fans can cost around $15-$300. And the installation of ductwork (if needed) can cost approximately $150-$2,000.

• The ideal cost for a bathroom remodeling is around 5%-10% of your home’s value, according to the National Kitchen and Bath Association.
• Shop and canvass at the nearest home store before talking to the contractor. Do your research and have a design in mind to make it easier for you to ask for a quotation.
• Be mindful of your budget. The cost to remodel a bathroom can quickly spiral as you move from the planning stage to the actual installation. Always communicate with your contractor and make sure you discuss all design revisions and upgrades. Have a budget and stick to it.
• Have a back-up fund for unexpected remodeling issues and concerns. Ideally, you can set this to around 20% of your budget. Doing so ensures that there would be no delays in finances in case something came up.
• In choosing materials and fixtures, buying cheaper things is always the go-to. But make sure that the quality and durability aren’t compromised. Or else, you’ll end up saving a few dollars today but will lose a lot a few years down the road.
• Think ahead. You might not need it now, but adding a few things in your bathroom to make it more “accessible” is good planning.
• Small bathroom? Full-length mirrors go a long way in providing a seemingly bigger and wider space.
• Have a little luxury – get heated floorboards or a tub with the latest relaxing technology. A remodeled bathroom can have a more significant impact on you based on the features you will truly enjoy.
• Always consider your pipes and check the cost of changing their position.
• Don’t forget the storage. In planning a layout, aesthetics often takes center stage while storage gets overlooked. People only realize it when everything’s done, and there is no space for the shampoo bottles and the reserve towels.
• Going green is a good investment. Eco-friendly items and accessories is always a beneficial option.
