A bathroom remodel refers to changes in a bathroom such as appearance, layout, function, or any major system. It can be as small as a paint or a few cosmetic updates, or as large as a full-gut remodel involving new walls, plumbing, or electrical work
A bathroom remodeling cost calculator gives you a quick way to estimate bathroom remodeling costs based on inputs such as bathroom area (ft²), quality level, project scope, tile wall coverage, and location. The calculator uses standard unit rates adjusted by region and current market conditions.
The bathroom remodeling cost follows a simple formula to estimate the total cost and the unit price per ft². Let’s walk through a real-world example to see how it works:
Inputs data:
