If you’ve had your heart set on a bathroom remodel but aren’t sure if it can fit within your budget, not all hope is lost. While the average bathroom remodel costs about $16,128, there are ways for you to whittle that number down without cutting corners. By picking the right products to taking on some work yourself, here are some ways you can save on your next bathroom remodel:
Remodel bit by bit
While remodeling your bathroom in one sitting may seem more manageable, it can cost you more in the long run. Prioritize your improvements, focusing on damaged or faulty areas first and working up from there.
Choose your materials and appliances wisely
The materials and appliances you buy can make a massive dent in your wallet. While those custom cabinets and jacuzzi tubs look great in the model room, the price may make you balk. Instead, search for cheaper options. Stock fixtures look just as good as custom pieces and are often half the price. Additionally, vinyl plank flooring is a much more affordable flooring option than tile.
Keep your layout
If possible, try to keep your bathroom’s current layout. This will be a huge money-saver, as then a contractor won’t have to redo the plumbing in your bathroom.
Find upcycled bathroom accessories
When replacing tubs, showers, sinks, or toilets, you’ll want to buy new appliances. But there’s nothing saying you have to buy new for smaller bathroom accessories. You can find plenty of quality, upcycled accessories at flea markets, vintage shops, and online websites such as Etsy that will save you a few extra bucks.
Do some DIY
You won’t complete a bathroom remodel all by yourself, but you can handle some of the work. Painting the walls or removing old fixtures is easy enough to do, and it’ll save on labor costs.
