How the Estimate Works
The calculator starts with the finish-level range for a 50 sq ft bathroom, then scales it by how much more a bathroom of your size typically costs according to the size table. Larger bathrooms cost more in total but less per square foot, because fixtures such as the toilet and vanity cost about the same in any room.
What Drives the Cost
- Moving the toilet, shower or sink drains, which means new plumbing.
- Custom tile showers and large-format tile.
- Converting a tub to a walk-in shower.
- Fixture and vanity quality.
- Water damage or rot found behind old tile.
