There are many reasons to remodel commercial, public, or private bathrooms. Perhaps the bathrooms look old and outdated, or you want to make sure they’re more accessible than they used to be.

On average, it cost around $12,500-$15,000 to remodel a bathroom. Keep in mind that the cost varies depending on a variety of factors. Some bathroom remodeling project only requires a simple replacement and repair while others need a significant upgrade. Some might even need a total bathroom renovation. 

Before taking on this kind of project, it’s best to decide upon the scope of your remodeling needs and understand the basics to bathroom remodeling. Luckily, we are here to guide you to give you insight on what to expect when you take on a bathroom remodeling project.

Our veteran-owned company Choice Builder Solutions is here to help transform public spaces into ADA compliant places that are accessible to all. Here’s our guide to remodeling a bathroom.

 

What is the bathroom cost based on square feet?

Contractors come into your house in-person to look at the bathroom to provide an accurate estimate. To get a quote, contact our contractors and schedule an appointment for them to review your remodeling needs.

For this stage of the process, our contractors will measure the bathroom dimensions and discuss materials, repairs, and renovation ideas to pinpoint an accurate cost. 

What is a small bathroom remodeling costs?

A smaller bathroom means that there is less material, space, and labor, meaning the installation process is less complicated. Therefore, remodeling a small bathroom tends to be cheaper. The average cost for this project would be between $1250-$3500. 

On average, a full-scale small bathroom remodeling project would require around 65 hours of work labor. This includes removing old floors, repairing toilet leakage, installing a new countertop, preparing the location for new tile floor, installing a new sink, and installing a new mirror.

The cost depends on what type of repair or installation that you plan to do. If you are thinking about replacing a sink or updating your light fixture, that will not cost a lot. All you have to do is decide what products you want and contact the contractors to schedule a date to install. However, if you are interested in adding more square footage or expanding your bathroom, then the expenses can skyrocket.

 

How much does it cost to renovate a new bathroom?

On average, it cost around $8000 to renovate a new bathroom. Again, it depends on the size, material, and appliance type. 

The more high-quality material that you plan to use, the higher the price will be. For example, using marble countertop or hand painted ceramic tiles can add an elegant touch to your commercial bathroom, but it can be slightly more expensive.

Another thing to take into consideration when it comes to bathroom renovation is plumbing. Installing a new sink can cost between $130-$400, modern appliances such as pipes can cost $2000-$4000, tiling cost around $500-$5000, and drain installation/repair can cost around $150-$200. 

A new bathroom renovation would include building a spa bathroom, 250 work hours, building a jacuzzi with marble surrounding, leveled the floor, built-in vanity closet, new showers with marble finishing, new tile floor, new plumbing for the jacuzzi soaking tub.

Whatever you decide, make sure to invest in quality materials to make sure they’re durable and the renovation is worth the cost.

 

How to save money on remodeling your bathroom?

It is possible to renovate a high-end bathroom for less than $10,000. However, you will need to cut some corners to lower the cost. 

Here is a list of ideas to help you save money on your bathroom renovating adventure:

First of all, you don’t need a fancy toilet. Consider an American Standard low flow toilet; it can save you a lot of money.

There is a lot of variation for bathroom accessories, even for something as straightforward as tub accessories. That’s why you should read the product specs carefully and decide which prices are right for you.

Online stores have excellent deals on bathroom accessories, so shop around and avoid paying extra money on add-ons that you don’t need.

 

What are some bathroom remodeling ideas?

If you are interested in executing some small changes that can spice up the bathroom, here are some ideas to consider:

• Retile the floor.

• Replace the toilet, sink, or bathtub.

• Replace or update the shower.

• Add faucet and fixture.

• Update the countertop.

What Should You Ask Your Bathroom Remodeling Contractors?

Before hiring a bathroom remodeling contractor, it’s essential to talk to them about your budget and personal needs. Here’s a list of questions to ask your contractor to help you make the right choice.

 

Ask the contractor if you can see his or her work sample

If the contractor does not have any samples of his work or reviews, then it’s best to look for another one. The portfolio from their past projects should give you an idea of their skills and the potential results for your bathroom remodeling project.

 Generally speaking, it’s safer to use a well-respected company to complete your bathroom remodeling project. At Choice Builder Solutions, we provide service with integrity and the added benefit of working with United States Army veterans. You’ll get reliable service while contributing to the wellbeing of those who have served the country.

 

Ask what they specialize in

Some contractors specialize in specific projects. For example, one type of contractor may be experts in bathroom addition while another one specializes in small bathroom renovations. 

This is important because if your needs are geared towards small bathroom remodeling, then you will need a contractor that has plenty of experience for this kind of job. At Choice Builder Solutions, we’ll match you with the contractors who have relevant experience to the kind of bathroom remodeling you need.

 

How many projects do you work on at the same time?

You want to work with someone that has time for you and is willing to develop a long-term relationship. That means you should make sure that the contractor has time to do a proper analysis and renovation for your bathroom.

The contractor should be honest with you about how long each stage of the project will take, and they should indicate factors that could push them out of the timeline. At Choice Builder Solutions, our company runs on respect. Our contractors use intense focus and care for every project they work on, ensuring that you’re satisfied with the results.

 

Who will work on my bathroom?

A lot of times, contractors can serve as a business consultants but they hire six other subcontractors to do the work. It’s essential to meet with the project manager and also to make sure you know who will be working on your remodeling. Depending on the type of project you have, the contractor might also bring in another expert. 

 

Licensed

Any contractor who works on your commercial bathrooms should have a specific license and should be adequately insured according to state and local standards. All of our contractors are licensed and committed to finishing the job to your liking. Just take a look at their recent projects at universities and public centers, and you’ll know they’re some of the most trusted in the business.

 

Final note

Remodeling a bathroom is a massive project. It can be pretty expensive depending on various factors like labor cost, the size of the bathroom, quality of the material, plumbing, and replacements. Public bathrooms are especially complicated because they have multiple stalls and usually take up more space.

With all this in mind, it’s best to shop around and do your research before committing to this project.
