Bathroom Remodeling Tampa | How to Budget for a Bathroom Remodel
Bathroom Remodeling Tampa | You desperately need a bathroom remodel but don’t want to spend your entire savings on the project. Budgeting for a massive undertaking such as this can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if you have never remodeled a bathroom before. Knowing how to divide your budget and what to plan for will save you a lot of headache and frustration.
Cost of a Bathroom Remodel
The average price of a bathroom remodel $10,000; however, at the high end, homeowners can spend as much as $25,000 or a little as just a few thousand dollars. When considering a bathroom remodel the estimates are based on replacing the bath, toilet, and vanity at the low end and expanding the space or replacing all the flooring, changing plumbing and electronic access or other significant renovations on the high end.
What Costs What?
Fixtures will take up the bulk of the cost for your bathroom remodel. Bathroom fixtures include the bathtub and/or shower, toilet, vanity, cabinets, and sink(s). If you are keeping your bathroom fixtures in the same locations, you can afford to budget more on more expensive options such as the jetted tub you always wanted. IF you are moving plumbing around, you will need to factor in the cost of labor and installation of new pipe and may need to budget less for the actual fixtures.
Tile is another significant expense of a bathroom remodel. If you are choosing a tile floor, you will have a per square foot price to pay as well as installation costs. However, you can save a lot of money installing tile yourself as it is one of the easier materials to work with. There are also many different options for tile and use of backsplash or mosaics.
Countertops are a minor expense in a bathroom remodel because the counter space in the bathroom is much smaller than in the kitchen. Many homeowners can afford a marble or granite top vanity or sinks when they are bathroom sized. If marble is a luxury you have been dreaming about, consider using the material in your bathroom remodel.
