How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost?
A bathroom remodel is one of the best investments you can make in your home — but costs vary widely depending on the size of the bathroom, the materials you choose, and the scope of work.
Here's a realistic breakdown for homeowners in New Jersey:

This tier covers cosmetic updates without moving plumbing or electrical:
- New vanity and fixtures
- Fresh tile or refinished tub surround

The most popular tier. Includes:

What Affects the Price Most?
1. Plumbing changes — Moving drains or supply lines adds $2,000–$5,000.
2. Tile selection — Builder-grade tile runs $2–$5/sq ft. Luxury porcelain can hit $20+/sq ft.
3. Shower type — A standard tub/shower combo is most affordable. A custom tile shower with bench and niche adds significant cost.
