What affects the cost?
- Scope of work — cosmetic updates vs. full gut vs. layout changes (moving plumbing is the biggest cost driver)
- Bathroom size — primary baths (60–100+ sq ft) cost 2–3× more than half-baths (20–30 sq ft)
How to save on a bathroom remodel
- Porcelain over natural stone — porcelain tile looks identical to marble or slate at 30–50% less
- Get 3+ quotes — bathroom remodel bids vary 30–50% for the same scope
- Bundle trades — a GC who manages plumber + electrician + tiler is often cheaper than hiring each separately
- Schedule off-peak — contractors are less busy (and more flexible on pricing) in late fall and winter
