Full Bathroom Remodel
Take a bathroom down to the studs and rebuild it: layout, waterproofing, tile, vanity, fixtures and lighting.
A full bathroom remodel replaces everything in the room: the tub or shower, the vanity, the floor, the walls, the lighting and the fixtures. It is the right choice when the shower leaks, the tile is failing, the layout does not work, or the room is simply worn out.
Signs you need one include soft or stained floors near the tub, cracked or loose tile, mildew behind the wall, a toilet that rocks, and a vanity top that has water damage. We open the problem area first so the scope matches what is actually wrong.
The job runs in a clear order: demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, waterproofing, tile, then vanity, fixtures and paint. Plumbing and electrical work is coordinated with licensed trade partners. Permits depend on your city or the County and on whether the plan moves plumbing or electrical.
National published figures for a full bathroom remodel vary by source: HomeGuide lists an average of about $8,900 (typical range $5,600 to $15,100), Fixr about $12,000 (typical range $6,000 to $17,000), and This Old House a stated average of $18,706 for a 40 to 150 sq ft bathroom. These are national figures, not San Diego quotes; your written quote after a site visit is the number that counts.
