How much does a bathroom renovation cost in 2024?
-
It depends, prices can vary from $25,000 on the lower end to $50,000+ for an extensive custom kitchen renovation
-
There are many variables that will influence the price, depending on your choice of materials, finishes and the total amount of work involved, there can be a wide range of costs.
The size of the bathroom and the extent of the work will be a big factor in the price range.
You may choose to expand the work to include adjacent areas like the master bedroom or walk-in closet along with the bathroom renovation.
Other significant factors will be any layout or footprint changes to the bathroom, maybe removing the bathtub for a larger shower, or altering the floor for a curb-less shower. Perhaps taking the space from an adjacent closet or bedroom to expand the ensuite bathroom to your very own spa like experience with a soaker tub.

We will introduce you to one of our trusted interior designers to help you get started
they will get to know you and your ‘must haves’ so they can create a design and style that you’ll love, and deliver the elements that are most important to you.
They will provide options for all the fixtures for your shower or tub, sinks, faucets, lights, tile and vanity cabinet
the value of a great design process really takes the stress away from planning your renovation, you won’t have to worry if the tile will clash with the paint colour or vanity and you don’t have to visit countless showrooms to look at hundreds of samples that all end up blurring together.
A comprehensive design may cost a bit more but it will save you time and stress
however if you enjoy shopping for different fixtures, and materials or if you already have a well thought out design we can get going on the next steps to get your renovation in action.

Project management
We’ll work with everyone involved on your project to bring it all together, collaborating with the design, structural engineer if required, drawings for building permits, plumbing layout, lighting plan and identifying potential challenges and problem solving, to make sure everything is just right.
We’ll plan everything out, material deliveries, access to the site, coordinating with all the different trades, city officials, permits and inspections and making sure everything happens at the right time to avoid unnecessary delays.
The size and scope of your bathroom renovation will greatly influence the project management portion of the cost, whether it's relatively straight forward with no significant layout changes or a complex renovation with extensive changes and structural work if it expands into bedrooms and closets.
The total duration of time for the renovation will affect the costs as well, depending on how much time our team needs to devote to your project to make it all go smoothly.
-
Plumbing fixtures: Allow $2,000 to start and can easily exceed $10,000
Shower fixtures, rain heads, multiple shower heads or adjustable jets, multifunction diverters with settings you can program just for you or upgrade to your very own steam shower
Freestanding tub, with tub fillers, undermount sinks or vessel sinks with wall mount faucets
And of course the toilet with heated bidet seat
You may have space for a dedicated wet bar area, with a built-in wine cooler
Custom cabinet doors for your appliances, dishwasher, fridge, maybe even a second dishwasher drawer for the island or bar area
-
Tile and installation:
Anticipate a minimum of $5,000 for a basic bathroom and this can go to $20,000 or more for larger bathrooms with elaborate and complex tile work
Heated floors all the way into the shower, waterproofing and antifracture membranes (no more cracked grout)
Curb-less showers, very luxurious and also for any accessibility needs
Perfectly placed recessed niche to eliminate clutter and a bench in the shower
Elaborate tile design and layout will all affect the cost
Large tile 24”x48” and bigger, require specialized tools, equipment and skilled professional installers
-
Now for the construction aspect – lots of variables here:
Site prep, floor protection, dust mitigation, cleanup and disposal throughout the project
Removal and deconstruction of the existing space – is it just a re’ & re’ (remove and replace) or is it a complete gut and removing walls
Framing work – with no layout changes there might be just a little back framing to make sure everything is straight and plumb.
If there are major changes - removing walls, adding beams to open up the space, moving doorways and windows – this can add considerable cost
Plumbing – replacing what is there or moving the footprint of the bathroom to accommodate a larger shower, with accompanying permit fees and inspections
Electrical – possibly need new circuits will have to be run back to your electrical panel for floor heat, may have wall sconces or a backlit mirror, undercabinet tow kick lighting for the perfect motion activated night light – electrical alterations will also have permit fees and inspections
Drywall and painting - again the extent of the work is going to dictate the costs, sometimes we will only need to remove a portion of the drywall for bathroom renovations, but often on larger renovations we will be completely removing the drywall for any structural changes and to gain access to all the electrical and plumbing, also if you have any textured ceilings that you want flat this is the time to do it
The extent of floor repair and any leveling required will contribute to the costs
complexity of the shower glass and hardware
vanity and countertop - if you choose a stock size or if we design something completely custom
