📌 5 tips for a bathroom remodel
- ✓ Set a realistic budget first. A full bathroom remodel averages $15,000–$25,000. Know your ceiling before choosing fixtures — it prevents overspending on one item and running short for the rest.
- ✓ Keep the layout the same. Moving plumbing lines adds $1,000–$5,000+. Keeping the toilet, shower, and sink in the same locations saves significantly on plumbing and permits.
- ✓ Splurge on tile, save on vanity. Tile and shower enclosures are the visual focal point. A stock vanity from a home store ($200–$600) looks great with quality hardware, while custom cabinetry can cost $2,000+.
- ✓ Don\u2019t skimp on waterproofing. Proper waterproofing (Kerdi membrane, RedGard, or similar) costs $200–$500 but prevents thousands in water damage. This is the #1 area not to DIY.
- ✓ Get 3+ written quotes. Bathroom remodel pricing varies 30–50% between contractors. Ensure each quote includes demolition, materials, labor, permits, and a project timeline in writing.
