12 k for very similar, but a custom shower with custom glass and a knee wall in lieu of the wall that framed the gross insert that used to be there.

I'm in Newport. But this was 3 yrs ago, so probably would be about 11 million now.

😅😅😅 Yea, definitely seeing higher prices.

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.

I did mine myself and it cost around 5-6k 4 years ago. I'm guessing 15kish? Depending exactly what you want. Mines custom glass, niche, double vanity

We paid 10K, but our bathroom is below the sewage line so we had to install a crusher pump. The bathroom was basically just a toilet. Now it's got a small standing shower, vanity, and toilet. We used Lil Rhody Renovations.

I completely gutted mine to the studs and did the work myself. Drywall, paint new shower surround install, toilet, tile, banner tile, board and batten with crown with literally no experience, all YouTube.... Less than 3k

My man

Folks are very intimidated by bath renovations . I’d say the most intimidating part is for sure if plumbing needs attention. They actually aren’t that bad . Even if you have to give walls and floors attention . YouTube is your best friend it’s pretty crazy how much information is out there

Full gut & remodel with tile shower & floor, custom cabinets & shower glass, you’re lookin at $40k all day

It really is. Everything you need to know is on there. Just say fuck it I can do this and you're half way there.

Totally random question but is this for your current home or for a new home you’re purchasing?

Currently own.

😅😅😂

Ballpark 15k assuming you're tiling floor and shower surround

Floor needs new OSB and tile. Yes, shower surround too, with new tub insert.

Thank you for sharing.

Are you demoing floor down to joists?

Had all that done last year minus the shower glass. $32k

How much did you spend on your bathroom reno?

i would mess it up and end up paying more for a pro to fix it.

Not in RI, just want to wish you best of luck. I just had two very small bathrooms in my small house, quoted by a place that has excellent reviews. Their quote was $110k-$150k. Walked out of that meeting wondering wtf. One bathroom is barely 5ft wide. The other isn’t much bigger. Unless they were using solid gold and rare marble, I have no idea where those costs come from. Wasn’t moving any plumbing or electrical. Edited to add I’m in southern NH.

the price also varies based on where you live. it shouldn't make any difference where you live but it does. the price will be much higher in barrington than in west warwick.

$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. $$$.

Makes sense, custom template glass is about $3k

How much did you pay for your reno?

O geeezzzz

What!!! Just buy a Ferrari instead.

No

Piece of advice. Buy everything you need yourself so you can get a breakdown of the labor. Or at least price it out. The materials for a job like this are probably $4/5k if your not going super fancy.

I’d also price out everything with individual contractors. It’s a pain in the ass, but you may be able to do it cheaper. I did a 50 square foot half bath for $8k 3 years ago like this. $2k materials I bought myself. $1k electrician for lighting, $1k for plumber to hook in toilet and vanity, $4k for walls, painting and floor install

Is there anything you or a friend can do?

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.

Man just wait til we go into a recession keep some money saved up. Material prices will significantly drop and you’ll get a great reno at a good price. Latest figured suggest we will be in a recession late 2023. Whats another couple of months lol

You shouldn't lay floor tile over osb. If you have to pad up the floor you should use a backer board or at least BC Plywood. The thinset won't bond properly to osb and the tile will fail.

Bathroom costs add up really quickly. Plumber is $800-$1200/fixture, tile probably $30-$50sq ft all in including material and substrate (depending on quality), probably a $2k allowance for electrician, $2k allowance for miscellaneous framing, say another $2k for finish carpentry including vanity depending on trim details (trim choices like crown, wainscoting, chair rail etc will increase this allowance), plus board, plaster, paint. You're also paying for design, demo, and dumpster.

Bathroom and kitchen rennos are disproportionately expensive but generally are the only interior remodels that add quantifiable value to your house in terms of future sale price.

I wish. Bathroom is destroyed. It had a hidden leak for years.

Dang well goodluck! I would def try to do anything you can yourself to save money

Then call your insurance company and have them pay for it.

25k to start, I’m a licensed plumber in the state and my cost alone for that bathroom would be about 4500 labor only. Anything less than 20-30k the contractor is prb not using licensed subs and isn’t pulling permits.

I did 2 gut renovations in 2020 and 2021 and both cost around 11k. But here’s the key- purchase all the materials yourself. In essence, be your own contractor. I used Ardente for my tub and toilet, build.com for the fixtures, kitchen countertop in Pawtucket for the vanity countertop and sink. glass door at Bristol county glass and I bought my vanity and mirror at Lowe’s. Once that was done I went looking around for labor. Plumbing labor was $1000 per bathroom, tile labor was around$3000 per bathroom, carpentry was around $1000 total. Plumbing fixtures cost about$1000. Lighting another $500 per bathroom including vent and vanity lighting. If you do your legwork you can get the price down substantially.

My mom spent around 30k for her bathroom, but that was mostly due complications with old plumbing and a huge jacuzzi tub that was a pain in the ass to remove. Taking it out damaged the walls. Without all the BS it might've been around 20k-25k. But that was a full on renovation. I know a guy who's got connections if you want a trustworthy contractor.

Thank you for sharing.

Same but had some prior experience. As long as you can be without the bathroom for a bit you can do a really nice refresh under 3K.

HO insurance (and most insurance for that matter) pays for damage arising from a sudden and accidental loss - ie your pipes burst. It does not cover a slow leak that causes damage over a long period.

Did this one with a buddy a few years back. Two cabinets and sink from ikea - $600 or so. Tub was maybe $600-$800. $150 toilet, $500 for tile and new vent fan. Closer to 40 sq feet, and probably a bit more expensive today, but nowhere close to some of the prices I’m seeing here.

I got estimates from $10k to $50k. Then no one called me back. Good luck.

Somebody wanted one with that quote. I’d rather leave the bathrooms as they are and go to The Chanler a few more days.

Labor is out of control for these projects. I gutted a 1k square foot unit 3 years ago for $22k with a contractor. I’m talking wall to wall gut and replacement including plumbing. I got an estimate a couple months for my basement to get it re-dry walled and it was $15k.

The professional operators with secretaries and salesman on staff are great at getting back to you, but charge 200-300% more. The single operated LLC types are cheaper, but never get back to you and can burn you at any time with little repercussions.

Shit if I could get 20k in labor for a 2 week project I’d probably move into the biz.

I know people that moonlight doing side projects like this and they do pretty good $$$

Very nice!

They will absolutely cover a leak that went unnoticed for a period of time. I do insurance jobs regularly, in fact I just remodeled a kitchen where a dishwasher was leaking for an extended period of time and ruined the hardwood floor and the cabinets wicked up the water. The client got 45k from their insurance to install new cabinets, granite countertops, hardwood floors etc….

What’s so funny?
