How much does it cost to remodel a bathroom?
The average bathroom remodel ranges between $6,000 and $15,000. Your budget may be as little as $3,500 for a small powder room or as large as $25,000 for a large master bathroom.
Labor alone is between $40 and $75 per hour, and accounts for about 50% of the entire project. In an area with a thriving real estate market, those prices could be up to 20% higher. The rest of the budget consists of materials and features.
The size of your bathroom, quality of the features, and amount of plumbing required can all increase project costs.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

What is the cheapest way to remodel a bathroom?
A bathroom remodel is almost always expensive, but you can take a few cost-saving steps:
Keep the layout identical to avoid plumbing work.
Substitute cheaper materials like vinyl flooring, laminate countertops and faux-stone tiles.
Refinish your tub instead of buying a new one.
Buy prefabricated features instead of custom sizes.
Refresh existing vanities with new hardware and faucets.
Offer to help the contractor, if permitted, to save on labor costs.
