| Type | Small | Average | Large |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic update (fixtures, paint, accessories) | $2,000 -- $6,000 | $4,000 -- $10,000 | $8,000 -- $18,000 |
| Mid-range remodel (tile, vanity, shower) | $10,000 -- $20,000 | $16,000 -- $30,000 | $25,000 -- $45,000 |
| Full gut renovation (layout changes) | $20,000 -- $35,000 | $30,000 -- $55,000 | $45,000 -- $80,000 |
| Walk-in shower conversion | $4,000 -- $8,000 | $7,000 -- $15,000 | $12,000 -- $25,000 |
| Bathtub replacement | $2,500 -- $5,000 | $4,000 -- $9,000 | $7,000 -- $16,000 |
Prices for small-to-medium bathrooms (40-80 sq ft). Master bathroom suites and large bathrooms with multiple fixtures will be significantly higher.
Tile work and labor typically account for the largest portion of bathroom remodel costs -- 30-40% of the total. Fixtures (toilet, vanity, shower/tub) account for 15-25%. Plumbing and electrical rough-in work adds 15-20%. If you are changing the layout -- moving the toilet, relocating the shower -- expect significant plumbing costs on top of standard remodel pricing.
Bathroom remodels consistently rank among the top ROI home improvements. A mid-range bathroom remodel recoups an average of 60-70% of its cost in home value. Adding a bathroom where none existed (or converting a powder room to a full bath) can add significant value, especially in homes with only one bathroom.
In master bathrooms, a large walk-in shower is generally more desirable in 2026 and may add more value than a tub. In the only full bathroom in a home, keeping a bathtub is important for resale -- buyers with young children strongly prefer having at least one bathtub in the home. If you have multiple bathrooms, you have more flexibility.
A cosmetic update takes 1-2 weeks. A mid-range bathroom remodel typically takes 3-5 weeks. A full gut renovation with layout changes can take 6-10 weeks. Tile work is often the most time-consuming element -- complex tile patterns and large tile formats take longer to install properly.
