Bathroom remodel cost

A bathroom is the densest room in the house — plumbing, tile, ventilation and fixtures in a few square metres — which is why it is priced per square foot and why the per-foot rate is so much higher than any other room.

What moves the price

Whether the plumbing moves: Replacing fixtures where they stand is the cheap case. Moving a soil stack or relocating the toilet brings in floor and wall work and changes the price bracket.
Tile area: Tile is priced by area and labour is the larger half; a full-height tiled shower is a different job from a half-height splashback.
Fixture choice: The shower line alone spans $200 to $15,000 in the published breakdown, which is a bigger swing than the size of the room.
