Is $5,000 enough for a small bathroom remodel?

Often, yes. $5,000 falls inside the $2,500 to $8,000 range for a new vanity and fixtures in a standard full bath with Monty's, and it can cover a half bath or powder room with tile. A full remodel with new floor and shower tile usually costs more.

Does the price include plumbing or electrical work?

No. Monty's small bathroom remodels keep your plumbing and wiring where they are. If your plan needs new plumbing or wiring, a licensed plumber or electrician handles that part at an added cost, and we can recommend one.

How much does a small bathroom remodel cost?

A small bathroom remodel typically costs $2,500 to $8,000 with Monty's when the job is a new vanity and fixtures in a standard full bath, based on our cost estimator. Adding new tile on the floor and shower or tub surround raises the range to about $3,750 to $12,000.

Those numbers assume mid-range finishes and the existing layout, which is what most small bathroom remodels are: a hall bath, guest bath or kids' bath where the toilet, tub and sink stay where they are. Because nothing is replumbed or rewired, the cost goes into the parts of the room you see. The low end of each range fits a simple update with builder-grade materials; the high end fits larger tile areas, a wider vanity and premium finishes. A half bath or powder room costs less, since there's no shower or tub, and the exact price for your bathroom comes from a free walkthrough and a written, line-item quote.

What affects the cost of a small bathroom remodel?

Three things move the price of a small bathroom remodel the most: the scope of the work, the size of the bathroom, and the quality of the fixtures and finishes.

Scope matters most. Swapping fixtures and hardware costs about 30% less than replacing the vanity and fixtures, and a full refresh with new tile costs about 50% more, because tile takes longer to set and needs a sound surface underneath. Size comes next: a half bath costs about 30% less than a standard full bath, while a master bath costs about 30% more. Then there's quality, where builder-grade fixtures cost about 15% less than mid-range and designer or premium fixtures about 30% more. Hidden conditions can also add to the job once old tile comes off, such as soft drywall around the tub or an uneven floor, and we'll show you anything like that before doing extra work.

How can I keep a small bathroom remodel on budget?

The surest way to keep a small bathroom remodel on budget is to keep the layout: leave the toilet, sink and tub or shower where they are, and spend on the finishes you'll see every day.

Moving plumbing is what turns a small bathroom remodel into a large one, because it means opening walls and floors and bringing in a licensed plumber. Keeping the layout avoids that. From there, put the money into the pieces that change the room most, like the vanity, the floor tile and the mirror, and choose mid-range rather than designer fixtures where the difference won't show. Tile is often the biggest single cost, so retiling only the floor, or only the shower surround, can bring a full remodel down toward the vanity-and-fixtures range. Ordering materials early helps too, since the work is scheduled once everything is on hand, and Monty's members can apply their labor discount and yearly service credit.

How long does a small bathroom remodel take?

Most small bathroom remodels with Monty's take 20 to 40 hours of work on site, depending on how much tile is involved.

A vanity, mirror and fixtures refresh sits at the short end of that range and can often be finished in a few days. A full small bathroom remodel with a new tile floor and shower or tub surround sits at the long end, because tile has to be set, cured and grouted before the vanity and trim go in. Before the work starts, the schedule depends on materials: special-order tile and vanities can take a few weeks to arrive, so the job is booked once they're on hand rather than leaving your bathroom half finished while you wait.
