Average Cost

Budgeting:

Bath Remodel- $5,000-$10,000-$15,000 Materials

I'll give you my list of preferred Contractors to bid Labor! Recommend getting 3 bids as usual to give you a range, and go with the one you trust the most.

Depending on sq. ft., type of materials used like porcelain vs. real marble, items needed.. this budget can vary significantly. I've seen average- large bath remodels come in at $5-10K mostly for materials only, but if you're using real marble it will be on the higher range. When I'm averaging materials I'm including everything.. Shower Walls, Shower Floor, Main Floor, Shower Glass, Tub, Vanity, Mirrors, Lights, Grout, Schleuter, Hardy, etc.

One of my go-to Contractors told me that it's safe to tell you "whatever materials cost.. that will be labor" so say you go all out on a primary bath remodel.. if your materials are $15k, think $15K labor for example. My client's bath remodel in Abilene, TX going on right now came out to about $30K. It's a full gut.. taking out the old tub, putting in a new walk-in glass shower with an L Bench, new porcelain emerald green shower walls, porcelain gray pebblestone flooring, gray and white swirl granite countertops, fandelier lights, converting a door to a window, new toilet, sinks, some stain work, etc. This Contractor might not be the cheapest, but that is fair pricing considering the amount of work on this one & the fact that he came highly recommended by another client in the area. So prepare yourself for this range of pricing, unless you're adding on a steam shower or sauna or onyx tub or something!

Of course, I'll give you the actual materials quote during your Bath Consult so you'll know that pricing. Then you'll get your 3 bids, and select your preferred Contractor to get to building your dream bath!

Bathroom Remodel Consultation

Letter from Kate

Hello friend,

If you’re looking to remodel your bathroom, the “Bath Remodel Consult” is for you. You’ll just book your free 30 min consult to discuss your project, and then book the Bath Remodel Consult at a time convenient for you to meet at a tile & flooring store to do the actual consult. I prefer to use Floor & Decor & TileBar to do a walk through & pick out samples. Previously worked at F&D for nearly 2 years, and I've found they have amazing products & in-stock job quantities. Ordering is also easy & typically fast. We will also go to Ferguson's for tub testing & hardware.. Then The Stone Collection for countertops. If you don't want to visit all the Showrooms.. no worries. I can put it together to suggest instead.

Most clients can visualize with samples, and start to get excited when they see them all together. :) I’ve found that utilizing 3D design software is also a really great way to see the design come to life. Most people like me to put together 3 looks in samples on the floor for them to choose from, and that can be a fun way to design your look. I’ve done way 600+ bath remodels in the last few years through the same tile & flooring company I source from now, and clients love the easy & fun process to finding their dream bathroom design. They have stores all over the country so it’s easy to build a quote out from a location near you.

I’ve created a “Bath Remodel Portfolio- Moodboard Lookbook” to show about 50 Moodboard designs to get you inspired. It shows the different style types, so when we discuss your style it’s easy to see which category you fit into generally. It’s interesting to see how each client still has a unique design when all is said and done though. Visiting the Showrooms together as well.. we might see something new and say wow! That's the one!! I’ve included Final Photos in the "Bath Portfolio" as well so you can really see what you’ll be getting better. These clients were so in love with their unique designs, and very happy with the overall results. Between the initial design consult, style discussion, selecting samples, to seeing the design come to life with the moodboard and 3D design rendering software….these clients really had a great experience designing their dream bathrooms.

Feel free to book your free 30 min consult to get started!

Can't wait to hear all about you & your project. :] Looking forward to working with you.

Thanks & talk soon,

   Katelyn
