The cost of remodeling a small half bathroom can range from $2,894 to $3,511. A medium-sized half bathroom will cost you between $4,628 and $5,617. For a large half bathroom, be prepared to spend about $9,025 to $10,953. The cost of a half bathroom can go as high as $25,000.
A full bathroom has all the main components such as a toilet, sink, tub and shower (or a tub-shower combo). It is usually situated adjacent to a master bedroom.
A powder room or a guest bath, on the other hand, generally
has a toilet, a pedestal or vessel sink, and a mirror. There are no showers or tubs.
Some homeowners may add bathroom storage and a vanity. The largest part of the half bathroom addition cost is almost always plumbing.
There is a significant difference between the two types of bathroom based on their remodeling cost. Needless to say, a full bathroom will be a lot expensive as it requires additional bathroom components, and hence will have
higher material as well as labor costs.
While a powder room remodel costs between $3,000 to $10,000, a full bathroom remodel costs about $5,000 to $15,000 or more.
Your complete powder room remodel cost takes into account a number of factors, including the total square footage, the scope of renovation, the type of fixtures, the materials and bathroom flooring you choose, your zip code, local labor costs, and finishing details.
Moreover, the cost of a powder room remodel depends on whether you are using existing floor space or are building onto the house. Where it will be located also matters: if it's close to existing plumbing, it will cost you less.
