Bathroom Remodeling and Renovation Services

The price of your bathroom remodeling will vary depending on the size of your project and the types of fixtures you choose. The national average for a complete bathroom renovation ranges from $6,000 to $18,000. Minor bathroom refreshes and half baths are on the lower end of that range, while mid-range bathrooms are on the higher end of the spectrum.

Don't forget additional costs, such as permits and inspections from local municipalities. By working with your Mr. Handyman service professional, you can select cost-efficient yet long-lasting materials, ensuring a smooth and confident decision-making process. The best way to know the cost of your project is to call Mr. Handyman and request an estimate.

The most expensive part of a bathroom remodel is the wet areas, such as your ideal shower and bathtub. The hardware fixtures themselves, as well as any required tiling, waterproofing, and plumbing adjustments, can also quickly add up in price. Labor is another significant price factor, but keep in mind that good labor and high-quality services ensure a long-lasting bathroom that doesn't require costly, ongoing upkeep.

When remodeling a small bathroom, the national average is between $6,000 and $7,000. The final cost will depend upon the goals of your remodel. A minor renovation like a refresh of fixtures and simple repainting can cost as little as $1,500, while a total remodel with a new layout that moves essential hardware will likely push $10,000 or more. There are always a few simple ways to spruce up your bathroom, and not every option will break your budget.

The first step of the bathroom remodeling process is planning and design. Before tearing down any walls, you must envision your new bathroom. In addition to creativity, the planning and design phase—including setting a budget—requires you to line up any needed permits from your local municipality. Once everything is in place, the physical process of bathroom remodeling can begin.

At first glance, the bathroom remodeling process can appear overwhelming. You'll need to consider planning, design, demolition, the installation of utilities, fixtures, and hardware—the list goes on.

1. Planning and Design: Remodeling begins with a vision of your ideal space—whatever bathroom renovation ideas you dream up, we can make them a reality. Here are a few planning and design decisions you need to make before remodeling can begin:
• Consider Functionality: You'll want to consider the bathroom's functionality, such as how many people use it and how much storage you'll need for necessities.
• Address Accessibility: If your bathroom remodel is for older adults, you’ll want to make additional considerations for safety and access, such as a comfort-height toilet.
• Identify the Style: You'll also need to identify your preferred style. Are you going modern, traditional, or even a bit rustic? What are your favorite bathroom tile design ideas? Pull photos and examples of your dream bathroom to share with your service professional.
• Establish a Budget: Establishing your budget during the planning and design process will dictate access to bathroom materials and fixtures.
• Obtain Permits: You may need to obtain a building code or planning permit during this stage.
2. Demolition and Utilities: Our service professionals prioritize safety during this stage and may shut off your home's water or electricity to prevent injuries. Demolition will include gutting your bathroom and removing old fixtures, countertops, tiles, and more to make way for everything new. With your exposed walls, floors, and ceilings, your service professional may change your plumbing and electricity arrangements to help prepare for your new bathroom layout. During this process, if a load-bearing wall needs to be removed, your service professional can determine the best approach.
3. Fixture and hardware installation: Once your bathroom has been prepared for renovations and any necessary demolition has been completed, the installation stage begins. During this step, your service professional will finalize any plumbing and electrical work within the walls (if offered at your location). Next, they'll install cabinets, countertops, drawers, shelves, and doors.

After your service professional has installed the foundational elements of your bathroom, it's time to install the fixtures—the sink, tub, and toilet. Hardware touches such as towel racks, toilet paper holders, and decorative details will finalize the remodel. Our professionals always double-check their work to ensure everything is installed and operating correctly.

Yes, you can attempt to remodel your bathroom yourself, but we wouldn't recommend it. Remodeling or renovating a bathroom requires a wide variety of skills, from cabinetry to plumbing and electrical work. Especially in an area of your home where both water and electricity meet, it's important to rely on a service professional.

In many circumstances, bathroom remodeling and bathroom renovations are used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings. A bathroom renovation typically involves cosmetic changes to refresh or restyle the room; for example, it may be time to recaulk your bathroom. A bathroom remodel is a major transformation that may include significant layout changes, requiring more advanced plumbing and electrical work.

If the colors of a bygone era make your bathroom feel dated, it might be time to remodel. A bathroom renovation can turn an unattractive space into a relaxing environment to soak away your troubles. With bathroom remodeling, new fixtures can allow for better space usage, accessibility, and energy efficiency—saving you money down the road.
