Bathroom remodels are more than just stylish and cosmetic updates—bathroom renovations should also result in improved functionality and even increase the resale value of a home, making them wise investments. But even though benefits like these can accompany a bathroom remodel, many homeowners hesitate to move forward due to perceived budget constraints.

NWI Baths is a knowledgable bathroom remodeling company servicing communities throughout Northwest Indiana. Our customers appreciate that we do everything we can to keep our services affordable and competitive to the area, and believe in offering transparent communication around pricing. When our customers ask us how much a bathroom remodel costs, we break down the following aspects for them.

Bathroom Remodels are Investments

First off, it's important to remember that a bathroom remodel is a larger home improvement project, so it will be important to budget for this service. According to the Angi website, a 2025 bathroom remodel is typically between $6,000 and $18,000, with the national average hovering right around $12,000. Depending on many factors, including the square footage of your bathroom, these numbers can fluctuate even more:

  • 25 Square Feet: $1,800—$6,300
  • 40 Square Feet: $2,800—$10,000
  • 50 Square Feet: $3,500—$12,500
  • 75 Square Feet: $5,300—$18,800
  • 100 Square Feet: $7,000—$25,000

Breaking Down Your Bathroom Remodel Estimate

No matter which bathroom contractor you go with for your project, you'll receive an estimate at some point before beginning the service, which lets you know how much you can expect your remodel to cost. It can be helpful to understand exactly where this number comes from, so ask your remodeler for a breakdown if they didn't give you one initially. Typically, the items that go into a bathroom remodel cost include things like labor, materials and permit fees.​

Factors Affecting Your Specific Bathroom Remodel

While many bathroom remodels will have similar line items, costs can still fluctuate greatly from one homeowner to another. No two remodels are going to require the same resources or result in the same bathroom updates, so why would the costs be exactly the same? 

The following factors will affect a specific customer's final bathroom remodel cost:

  • Scope of the Project
  • Quality of the Materials
  • Affordability of the Contractor
  • Local Markets
  • Finish Level
  • Size of Bathroom

Budgeting for Your Bathroom Remodel

If you have a strict budget you need your bathroom remodel to fall within, there are many things you can do to cut down on costs. For starters, ask yourself what services you really need to have included as part of your remodel. Maybe your shower is cracking and leaking water, making a shower replacement imperative, but if your flooring is in good condition and you mainly wanted a change in aesthetic, that may have to get excluded this time around.

Also another aspect of bathroom remodels to keep in mind is that they typically offer a high return on investment (ROI). This means that the dollar amount you end up spending on a bathroom remodel is recouped by the increase in your home value, allowing it to pay for itself in the long run.
