Before you budget

What Raises or Lowers a Bathroom Remodel Estimate

A planning range assumes the house is sound and the ground is easy. These are the things that move a real bathroom remodel estimate up or down.

  • Moving the shower, toilet or vanity, because the drains and supply lines move with them.
  • What is behind the old tile.Water damage or rot found at demolition has to be repaired before anything new goes in.
  • The tile, the glass and the fixtures you choose, which can swing a bathroom more than its size does.

Ask Our Team
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Knoxville?

It depends most on which bathroom it is and how far the work goes. A powder room refresh and a custom primary bathroom are very different projects. The table above shows typical ranges, and the estimator gives you one for your own bathroom.

Is it cheaper to keep the tub?

Often, yes. When a tub is in good working condition, keeping it and changing only its fixtures puts the budget into the floor and the vanity, where it shows. Master Hand Construction Services did exactly that on one remodel where the tub still worked well.

What does it cost to turn a tub into a walk-in shower?

It is one of the most common bathroom projects, and the estimator prices it as an option. The tub comes out, the drain is reset for a shower, the walls are waterproofed and tiled, and the entry can be built with a low threshold.

Why do bathroom quotes vary so much?

Because what is behind the old tile only shows itself at demolition. Water damage or rot has to be repaired before anything new goes in, and moving the shower, toilet or vanity moves the plumbing with it.

Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?

Most remodels that change plumbing or wiring need one. The estimator includes a line for permits, protection and disposal, and requirements depend on where the home is.

How can I remodel a bathroom on a budget?

Keep what still works and spend where it shows. On one remodel the tub was in good condition, so it stayed and only its fixtures changed, and the budget went into a leveled floor, a new vanity and better lighting. Keeping the toilet, shower and vanity where they are avoids moving the plumbing, which is often the largest hidden cost.

How much does a primary bathroom remodel cost?

Usually the most of any bathroom, because it is the largest room and gets the most custom work. The table above shows a full remodel and a custom primary bathroom with a freestanding tub, and the estimator prices yours.
