Three main factors determine the final cost of remodeling your bathroom project: size, scope, and finish level. Here’s more information on each of those.
Size
The room’s square footage determines the capacity and function, from a basic powder room with 1–2 fixtures to a larger primary bathroom with 5+ fixtures.
Scope
This factor refers to rip-and-replace vs. gut remodel we mentioned earlier. It could also be even simpler, with just replacing some existing fixtures and updating paint and trim, for example.

Finish level
Here you can choose to go with budget finishes, i.e.) off the shelf at the home center, to mid-grade to high-end to luxury. It’s a wide range and has a huge impact on the budget. Luxury implies custom work and those costs are wide open.
As an example, let’s look at the costs for a full rip-and-replace renovation of a full bathroom without layout changes. These prices reflect your costs for a tear out and new construction with fixtures, paint, and so on, but not the design work.
- Budget full bathroom renovation: starting at $18,000
- Mid-grade full bathroom renovation costs: starting at $28,500
- High-end full bathroom renovation costs: starting at $40,500
