Master Bathroom Remodel (Ball Park Cost Estimate)
Posted on 7/6/19 at 3:02 pm
Posted on 7/6/19 at 3:02 pm
I am considering expanding the master bath in a house I just purchased.
Looking to take down the back wall of the bathroom and take in the extra space from a walk in outdoor closet/shed on the back side of the house. I don't think the wall is loading bearing, but either way.
I would want to add a standing shower and separate tub. Would need new cabinets, vanity, flooring, ect.
Throw me some realistic numbers for something basic. Just need the extra room more than anything.

Need way more info.
Dimensions, what type of flooring, what type of shower, fixtures, etc.
Are you doing the work?
The more info you give the better the replies.

I haven't measured yet, but estimate that I would be adding about 5-6 feet in to the bathroom (width of the outdoor closet I would be taking from).
Basic/granite shower. Noting fancy.
Basic fixtures.
Basic floor.
I am not doing any of the work. Contractor would handle it all.

Slab, crawl space, on the 2nd floor? Moving plumbing gets spendy with quickness.

Slab
The slab in the closet I would be taking looks the same height as the existing floor in the master. This is all on a single story residence.

Are you married and if so will your wife weigh in on decisions?

Just did this. Took space from half bath and made walkin shower with separate tub. Basically redid one full bath and one half bath. Total cost was $35k. This was with rerouting plumbing in slab, all new tile, vanities, fixtures, etc.

If he’s married then his wife WILL weigh in on the decisions.

Likely in the $30k range OP. Nothing about master bath’s is cheap and you will have to get a bunch of guys to come over for a bunch of half days of work which costs more.
Best way to do this is if you find a small contractor that has a crew that does most of it themselves and not sub it all out.
I will say though, I’d highly recommend getting the tile work done by guys that only do tile. The experience I’ve had with contractors that ‘have their own guy that also does tile’ is never great work.
