Average Cost for a Bathroom Remodel

The Bathroom Renovation Cost Breakdown

The National Kitchen & Bath Association has a breakdown of what costs are involved and what part of these costs make up the overall cost of your bathroom remodel.

• Installation  20%
• Cabinetry and Hardware 16%
• Lighting and Ventilation 5 %
• Doors and Windows 4%
• Design Fees 4%
• Fixtures 15%
• Countertops 7%
• Flooring 9%

Now ofcourse, each bathroom remodel is going to be different and if you are spending more money on higher end fixtures, then that percentage may go up while walls and ceilings may be completely eliminated.

In terms of numbers, the amount you will spend may fall into somewhere in these ranges.

• Mid-Range Renovation – A mid-range renovation usually includes a new toilet, tub and tile surround, double sink and new vanity, medicine cabinet and maybe new floors and wall paint or paper. Most mid-range renovations cost in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.

It may also include a new shower and surround, stone countertops, two sinks, a new vanity , flooring, lighting and an exhaust system. This is basically a clean slate with upgraded fixtures.
