What affects bathroom remodel cost
Moving plumbing
Keeping the toilet, shower and sinks in their current locations saves money. On a concrete slab, moving drains usually means cutting and patching the slab, which adds labor and requires a permit.
The shower
A custom tile shower with a proper waterproofing system, niches, a bench and frameless glass is often the largest part of the budget. It is also the part where quality matters most, because hidden water damage is expensive to fix.
Tile choice and layout
Large-format porcelain looks clean and modern but needs a very flat surface. Intricate patterns, mosaics and full-height tile add labor.
Vanity and countertop
A stock vanity costs much less than a custom floating vanity with a quartz top and integrated storage.
Tub-to-shower conversions
Replacing an unused tub with a walk-in shower is one of the most popular projects in South Florida. Cost depends on the size of the shower, whether the drain moves and the glass you choose.
Where not to cut corners
- Waterproofing behind and under the shower
- Correct slope to the drain
- A properly sized, ducted exhaust fan
- Quality valves and fixtures inside the wall
