Professional Answers to Common Questions about Bathroom Renovations
How long does a Bathroom Renovation Take?
An average powder room or half bath can be renovated in as little as 1 day for a basic remodel to 5 days for a more complex and custom project. A full bathroom takes 3 days to 10 days to remodel depending on the complexity. A Master Bathroom Remodel takes between 5 and 15 days depending on the size and complexity. The Major factors include:
-
The Size of the Bathroom
-
Is it a full gut or partial
-
If there are layout changes
-
The amount of tile work and the complexity
-
The use of specialty amenities and fixtures
-
Damage from leaks and mold
How much does a Bathroom Remodel cost?
As you might imagine this can vary wildly but here are some rough estimates:
-
Half Bath/Powder Room - $3,000 to $8,000
-
Full Bathroom - $7,500 to $25,000
-
Master Bathroom - $17,500 to $35,000
The same factors that impact the amount of time it will take will directly impact the cost as well. The other major factor that impacts the overall cost is the cost of the materials and fixtures. A high end vanity can easily cost more than the total amount to remodel a basic powder room. These estimates are based on averages for midrange fixtures and fairly standard designs. Highly custom projects with high end fixtures will be significantly more expensive.
How long will I be unable to Use my Bathroom during a Renovation?
Bathrooms are typically unavailable for the duration of the remodeling process. When the project has reached the point of minor details you may have full or partial useability.
What if my home only has one bathroom and I want to remodel it?
Some types of bathroom remodels can be done in one day but this is quite limiting in terms of what types of changes and finishes will be used. A total bathroom renovation with the freedom to pick any material, fixture, and feature can not be done in one day. If complete renovation is desired then temporary accommodations will be needed such as showering by a friend or neighbor or staying at a hotel.
