As you move into your new fixer upper home, or you're staring at your bathroom and you absolutely hate it, you might be wondering: why should I consider a bathroom renovation? How much will it cost? Can I do it myself? Where do I even start for a bathroom renovation?
Today, we're here to answer all these questions and more! Stay tuned for cost breakdowns, tips on where to start and so much more!
Why should I do a bathroom renovation?
To increase the home's value. With so much wear and tear in the bathroom, as well as the constant exposure to moisture, the bathroom tends to 'age' faster than the rest of the home. A bathroom in pristine condition will certainly raise the value of the home--and every estate agent knows this. How much value increase are we talking? According to moving.com, bathroom renos recoup 67.2% of their costs. Let's look at how it breaks down. Average midrange bathroom renovation: $20,420 Resale value: $13,717
Safety. Plumbing deteriorates over time. One day it'll be something small. Then the issue will keep happening again and again. You'll end up calling someone repeatedly--making this sort of cycle inefficient and costly.
Storage space. Let's face it: the longer you stay in a home, the more stuff you accumulate. As you're adjusting to a growing family or lifestyle changes, your bathroom space only becomes smaller and smaller. Why not make the bathroom experience feel luxurious and spa-like, rather than a game of Tetris to see how many people and things you can fit inside?
Let's talk costs. How much does a typical bathroom renovation cost?
Numbers are important. As listed above, the average midrange bathroom renovation can cost up to $20,000.
However, if you're looking at a smaller bathroom space or doing smaller refreshes, like changing out the vanity or light fixtures, or repainting the tub and walls, you're looking at a much lower number.
