My answer is a non answer, because It really depends on what you are having done, the experience of the contractors, the selections you make, and what they find as they tear everything apart. It is almost impossible to compare without every detail listed and knowing everything about your bathroom. For example, you can go to Lowe’s or Home Depot to choose your toilet, vanity, tub, get vinyl flooring, have a shower curtain instead of a glass shower, get a premade tub/shower insert, and use existing plumbing and electrical. Or you can go to a high end kitchen bath store, have custom tile, new lighting, glass shower- the sky’s the limit. A simple shower head can be $40 or a fancy rain shower with controls can be $1500( yes there are some that expensive). I just want to note that cheapest isn’t always the best when it comes to the trades. Having tradesmen who know what they are doing can make the difference between a bathroom you are happy with, or a bathroom that will fall apart in a few years because it wasn’t done correctly.

How much did you spend on your bathroom reno?

$30k a few months ago for something basic in a small bathroom with all new plumbing, drywall, and new wiring/lights. No frills. Nothing custom. No designer or architect used. Everything costs twice as much as it used to. Probably could have done it 5 years ago for $15k. Much of the cost was correcting work by a prior contractor who did shoddy work not up to code. So we had to spend extra on plumbing and electrical. $$$.

If you don’t need all the plumbing to the water line and septic redone behind the walls and into the basement, and can just attach the vanity and shower/bath to the existing plumbing it will be much, much cheaper. And if you can buy a prefab glass shower door it would be cheaper. A custom glass shower door is almost $2,000.
