Bathroom renovation costs in an instant

A typical 50 sq ft bathroom renovation runs $12,000–$28,000 in the US, depending on finishes, fixtures, and plumbing changes. The most expensive line is usually tile + waterproofing ($3,500–$8,000), followed by plumbing work ($3,000–$6,500) and fixtures ($2,000–$5,500). Massoi calculates an exact estimate from your specific floor plan.

A typical bathroom renovation takes 3–5 weeks for a multi-family unit and 2–4 weeks for a single-family home. Time is consumed by demo (1–3 days), waterproofing cure time (3–7 days), and tile work (5–10 days), plus plumbing and fixture installation. Plan for longer if the layout changes or if water damage is discovered.

A typical bathroom renovation like replacing tile usually doesn't need a major building permit, but plumbing and electrical work require licensed installers and may need local permits depending on jurisdiction. If the layout changes or load-bearing structures are opened, a permit is required. Waterproofing work must always be documented.

Enough information for an accurate estimate: a dimensioned floor plan (at least length, width, height), fixture locations (toilet, shower, sink, vanity), tile information (size and layout), and any plumbing changes. Massoi can estimate from a floor plan or photo alone, but more detail produces a more precise estimate.

Costs typically break down as: tile + waterproofing 35–45%, plumbing 20–30%, electrical 5–10%, fixtures 15–25%, demo and disposal 5–10%. Materials are about 40% and labor about 60%. Massoi's tiling bid estimation gives exact quantities from blueprints, and fixture lists are itemized.
