Bathroom renovation costs

Do you have an existing bathroom, but it’s become obsolete over the years? Would you like to have it renovated? In that case, you want to get a good idea of the average costs first. The costs charged for such a project may largely depend on your personal wishes, but on this page we would like to list the most important costs for you, allowing you to get a good idea of the financial resources that you need for such a renovation.

Price structure bathroom renovation

Let’s start with the price structure of a bathroom. As you can see, most of the parts of a bathroom consist of the bath followed by the walls. Now that you have a general idea of the breakdown of the prices, we’ll explain the prices specifically in the next section.

New bathroom costs

The price for a standard (basic) bathroom will be around $ 4,360, – (can be as much as 12,000, -dollar), while for more luxurious bathrooms it’ll quickly rise to double or even triple that, about 15,350, – to 27,250, – dollar. For wellness bathrooms with, for example, a sauna or hot tub, you’ll quickly pay $ 27,250. Of course there are cheaper and more expensive bathrooms, but most bathrooms will be around the mentioned amounts. The following two costs are usually overlooked:

Building materials and plumbing materials: many people are wrong about this cost item. It’s wiser to buy cheaper cranes and more expensive glue than the other way around. Building and plumbing materials will be between 650 and 1900 dollars.

Installation costs: in addition to the costs mentioned above, the installation costs are probably the highest. It is important that your bathroom is professionally renovated if you want a proper result. You can count on a renovation time of 12 to 20 working days. This of course depends on the size. It’s cheaper to renovate the bathroom yourself, but that’s not a sensible thing for most people. If you want to outsource the renovation, as a rule of thumb, you’ll spend about as much on the outsourcing as you are on the cost of the materials. The installation of a standard bathroom will cost you about 4360 to 5450 dollars which means in total it’ll cost 9800 to 10,900 dollars. A luxury bathroom this ratio is somewhat lower, with the installation price between 9,270, – dollar and 11,450, – dollar.

Set your budget

However, you will have to decide for yourself what your budget is. It may be wise to ask for quotations before you start, to see if your wishes are feasible for the budget, ensuring that you get the work done properly.

If it turns out that the requirements are too high, it may be advisable to proceed with the renovation of an existing bathroom, or to settle for less. See also: toilet renovation.
