Bathroom remodel cost: a hall bath to a primary bath, every line stated, by state
An 8 by 10 bathroom: about $7,100 to $8,700, typically $7,700. That's the old fixtures and floor out and new ones in: a tub and shower, toilet, vanity with its top and faucet, a tile floor, an exhaust fan and the walls painted, plus the contractor's overhead, profit and sales tax. Wall tile, moving plumbing, lighting and permits are extra.

What it costs
| Job | Cost |
|---|---|
| A 5 by 8 hall bathroom | $5,600 to $6,900 |
| An 8 by 10 bathroom | $7,100 to $8,700 |
| A 10 by 12 primary bathroom | $10,400 to $12,800 |
Totals include the contractor's overhead and profit (20%) and the state's average sales tax. Prices as of November 2026.
What’s in these numbers
Each total is a typical job, priced the way a contractor’s estimate is priced:
| 5 by 8 hall bath | 8 by 10 bath | 10 by 12 primary bath | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tub and shower | One-piece fiberglass tub and shower | One-piece fiberglass tub and shower | A bathtub and a separate high-grade shower unit |
| Valves and trim | One | One | Two |
| Toilet | One | One | One |
| Vanity with top | 30 inch | 48 inch | 72 inch double |
| Sink faucets | One | One | Two |
| Tile floor | 40 sq ft | 80 sq ft | 120 sq ft |
| Exhaust fan | One | One | One |
| Walls painted | Two coats | Two coats | Two coats |
Every old fixture and the old floor come out first. On top of the work:
- Overhead and profit: 20%, the standard markup on a contractor’s estimate.
- Sales tax on the materials, at the state’s average rate.
Not in them: tile walls or a tile shower, moving the toilet, tub or drain, new wiring or lighting, a mirror and accessories, subfloor or framing repair, high-grade fixtures beyond those listed, and permits. The bathroom exhaust fan cost guide prices the fan on its own.
What moves the price
- Tile. A tile shower or tiled walls replace the one-piece unit with several lines of their own: the tile installation cost guide gives the floor rate.
- Moving things. A toilet, tub or shower moved to a new spot means new drain and supply lines.
- Grade. High-grade and premium fixtures, stone tops and custom vanities cost more.
- What’s behind the walls. Rot or old water damage found at tear-out is repaired before the new work goes in.
- Where you live. Pick your state in the box above.
Pricing a remodel line by line
A remodel estimate is a list: each fixture out and in, the floor by the square foot, the vanity by the foot, the walls by the square foot of wall. The fixture guides price each piece on its own: the bathtub, shower, toilet and vanity. BluMatrix measures the room with the phone and writes the whole list at current prices for the ZIP code.
