Bathroom Remodel Cost in Phoenix, AZ

Size sets much of the floor and the ceiling of a bathroom budget. A national cost guide puts a half bath or powder room at $1,500 to $15,000, a full bath at $3,500 to $20,000, and a primary bathroom at $7,000 to $30,000. Another national cost guide puts the overall bathroom remodel range at $2,500 to $30,000. The ranges overlap because the labels are loose. A large hall bath with a tub can cost more than a small primary bath with a shower. A big driver is the count of wet fixtures and the square footage of tile. A powder room has no shower, so no shower waterproofing and no tile pan. A primary bath can add 2 sinks, a bigger tile field, a glass panel and a second lighting circuit.

A small bathroom remodel runs $1,500 to $15,000, with an average of $6,500, according to a national cost guide. The same source splits the category: a small half bath runs $2,250 to $3,000, a small full bath $4,500 to $6,000, and a small primary bath $6,000 to $8,000. Those numbers are national, not Phoenix specific, so treat them as a shape rather than a local quote. The low end is cosmetic: a new vanity, a faucet, paint and a floor. The high end includes a shower rebuild with waterproofing, new tile on the walls and floor, and a layout change. Small rooms carry a hidden cost. Every trade works in the same tight space, so the labor hours do not always shrink with the square footage. Published market ranges, not a quote: the final price is set after an on-site assessment.

A tub to shower conversion runs $1,200 to $15,000, with a typical job around $3,000, and permit fees add $200 to $2,000, according to a national cost guide. The low end is a surround and a new valve in the existing alcove. The high end is a full rebuild with a moved drain, a new pan, tile and glass. Permit fees vary with local regulations and the size of the project. The typical job replaces the tub with a shower base, keeps the drain where it is, and tiles the walls. Custom tile, larger showers and premium glass doors raise the total. Published market ranges, not a quote: the final price is set after an on-site assessment.

A walk-in shower runs $6,000 to $12,000, with permit fees of $250 to $500, according to a national cost guide. That range assumes a new shower where a tub or an old shower was, with a pan, waterproofing, tile and a glass panel. The lower end is a prefabricated pan with a tile surround and a framed glass door. The upper end is a curbless pan, a linear drain, floor to ceiling tile, a bench and a frameless glass panel. Glass is a line item that is easy to underestimate. A custom frameless panel is measured after tile, so it adds a second visit and a lead time. The shower valve is the other one. A thermostatic valve with 2 outlets costs more than a single handle, and it needs the rough in planned before the wall closes.

A bathtub replacement runs $2,104 to $9,757, according to a national cost guide. The low end is a standard alcove tub swapped for a similar unit, with the existing tile and valve reused. The high end is a specialty tub such as a clawfoot, which can also bring subfloor work and plumbing changes. The material matters too: acrylic is the budget option, cast iron holds heat and costs more, and a soaking tub can need a stronger floor and a bigger water heater. Access is the hidden variable. A tub that has to come up a narrow stair or through a window adds labor. So does a second floor bathroom with a tight turn at the landing.

Vanity installation runs $400 to $2,200, and removing the old vanity adds $150 to $500, according to a national cost guide. Cabinet size, countertop material and the number of sinks move the number. A single 30 inch cabinet with a stock top sits at the low end. A double vanity with a fabricated quartz top, 2 sinks and new shutoff valves sits at the high end. Assembly and weight add labor. A flat packed cabinet takes longer to set, and a cast iron sink needs 2 people and careful handling. Published market ranges, not a quote: the final price is set after an on-site assessment.
