Bathroom Remodel Cost in Texas

Guest bath refresh to master suite transformation

Bathrooms are the second most popular remodel project after kitchens, and for good reason. A well done bathroom renovation can return 60% to 70% of its cost when you sell your home. But going in without clear pricing expectations is how homeowners end up 50% over budget.

Bathroom Remodel Tiers

Bathroom Remodel Pricing

City Budget Fair Price Premium
Budget Refresh $5,000 $8,500 $12,000
Mid Range Remodel $12,000 $20,000 $30,000
Premium Renovation $25,000 $35,000 $50,000

Budget refresh includes new fixtures, paint, a new vanity, updated lighting, and possibly regrouting existing tile.

Mid range remodel replaces the shower or tub, installs new tile flooring, adds a new vanity, and updates all fixtures and lighting.

Premium renovation is a complete gut: custom tile work, walk in shower with glass enclosure, freestanding tub, heated floors, and premium fixtures.
