Bathroom Remodeling Tiers: From Essential to Elevated
When remodeling your bathroom, your budget will largely depend on the size of the space and the type of finishes and features you choose. Element Design Build Remodel outlines three remodel scenarios to help homeowners understand what’s possible within a specific price range.
Standard Remodel: Practical Upgrades for a Fresh Start ($20K–$30K)
A standard bathroom remodel is ideal for homeowners with modest spaces (around 100 square feet) who want a clean, updated look using premium but not over-the-top materials. At this level, the project includes the full demolition of the existing bathroom and installation of a premium vanity with a Cambria quartz countertop and undermount sink bowl. While lighting locations typically remain the same, you still receive a new vanity light, exhaust fan, mirror, toilet, and stylish plumbing accessories like towel bars and robe hooks. The addition of a shower niche adds functionality without significantly increasing cost. It’s the perfect scope for those seeking a refreshed space that looks and feels new without changing the room’s basic footprint.
Deluxe Remodel: Enhanced Comfort and Style ($28K–$32K)
For homeowners looking for more than a facelift, the deluxe remodel introduces greater functionality and flexibility. At around 120 square feet, this level includes the installation of a deluxe vanity, curb-in shower, and a corner bench for added comfort. It incorporates recessed lighting to improve brightness and ambiance, as well as new sconces to frame the vanity mirror. Fixtures such as the toilet, faucets, and accessories are updated, and design enhancements help elevate the overall feel. This tier strikes a balance between luxury and practicality, perfect for master bathrooms or guest baths where comfort is key.
Luxury Remodel: Spa-Level Experience at Home ($38K–$53K)
For those dreaming of a spa-worthy bathroom retreat, the luxury remodel covers everything. At 200 square feet, this remodel includes the complete demolition of the current space and installation of deluxe or luxury vanity cabinetry with dual undermount sinks and quartz countertops. It adds both recessed lights and wall sconces, along with a new window to bring in natural light. One of the biggest upgrades is the curb-less shower, which delivers a sleek, modern look and improved accessibility. A shower bench and niche enhance comfort and usability. With every detail upgraded—from ventilation to mirrors and accessories—this tier turns the bathroom into a fully personalized oasis.
Optional Bathroom Upgrades That Can Add to Your Budget
In addition to the core elements in each scenario, homeowners can further tailor their remodels with a range of optional upgrades. These can dramatically enhance both aesthetics and function, though they also raise the overall project cost.
Upgrade Feature | Estimated Cost |
Deluxe or luxury vanity cabinetry | $1,500 – $5,000 |
Natural stone countertop | $5,000 – $18,000 |
Exhaust fan with light or humidity sensor | $140 – $200 |
Wainscoting | $500 – $2,000 |
Wallpaper (based on square footage) | $300 – $2,000 |
Additional recessed lighting | $400 – $1,800 |
New window(s) | $400 – $3,000 |
Pocket door installation | $500 – $800 |
Curb-less shower | $1,050 – $1,090 |
Shower bench | $350 – $500 |
Shower niche | $300 – $400 |
Heated floor (based on square footage) | $3,700 – $4,800 |
While not essential, these upgrades allow for a highly customized bathroom experience. Heated floors, for example, are especially popular in Ohio’s colder months, and a curb-less shower is both elegant and accessible. Incorporating several of these enhancements will elevate your remodel into the upper tiers of the pricing spectrum.
What Is the Most Expensive Part of a Bathroom Remodel?
As with kitchen remodels, cabinetry is typically the most expensive component of a bathroom remodel, especially when choosing custom or luxury-grade vanities. High-end vanities with durable finishes, custom drawer configurations, and matching countertops can cost up to $5,000 or more, depending on materials and design.
Following cabinetry, natural stone countertops, curb-less showers, and heated flooring systems are among the priciest upgrades. A slab of natural stone, for instance, can range from $5,000 to $18,000 based on selection. Heated floors—though luxurious—can also run close to $5,000, depending on the size of the space and system used.
Takeaway
A full bathroom remodel in Ohio typically costs between $20,000 and $53,000, with final pricing determined by the room’s size, the quality of materials selected, and the extent of functional or layout upgrades. Cabinetry often represents the biggest portion of the budget, but additions like natural stone surfaces, curb-less showers, and heated floors can also drive up costs quickly.
Whether you’re updating a simple hall bathroom or creating a luxury retreat, understanding the remodeling tiers—and what each includes—helps you make informed decisions. Working with a full-service firm like Element Design Build Remodel ensures not only expert craftsmanship but also a guided, transparent process from design to installation, resulting in a space that meets both your lifestyle and aesthetic goals.
