Three main factors determine the final cost of remodeling your bathroom project: size, scope, and finish level. Here’s more information on each of those:
Size
The room’s square footage determines the capacity and function, from a basic powder room with 1–2 fixtures to a larger primary bathroom with 5+ fixtures. In Los Angeles, the average bathroom size is around 60 square feet.
Scope
This factor refers to the extent of the remodel, from a simple refresh with new fixtures and finishes to a complete gut renovation involving demolition and reconstruction.

Finish Level
The finish level can significantly impact the cost. Options include:
- Budget-friendly: Using off-the-shelf materials from home improvement stores.
- Mid-grade: Opting for higher-quality materials and fixtures.
- High-end: Incorporating premium materials and custom finishes.
- Luxury: Featuring high-end materials, custom design elements, and advanced technology.
As an example, let’s look at the costs for a full rip-and-replace renovation of a full bathroom without layout changes in Los Angeles. These prices reflect your costs for a tear-out and new construction with fixtures, paint, and so on, but not the design work.
- Budget full bathroom renovation: Starting at $25,000.
- Mid-grade full bathroom renovation costs: Starting at $35,000.
- High-end full bathroom renovation costs: Starting at $50,000.
Please note that these are estimated costs and may vary depending on specific factors such as location within Los Angeles, labor costs, and the complexity of the project. It’s always recommended to obtain quotes from multiple contractors to get an accurate estimate for your bathroom remodel.
