How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in St. George?
Real numbers from a Southern Utah contractor, plus the one place you should never cut corners.
The Short Answer
A standard bathroom remodel in Southern Utah runs $15,000 to $25,000. That's a typical bathroom, around five feet by twelve, with a tub or tub-shower combo, a toilet, a sink, and a vanity, torn out and put back together. Converting to a large walk-in shower or building out a full primary suite costs more.
What Drives the Price
- The shower. Tile, waterproofing, glass, and whether you're keeping a tub-shower combo or going to a custom walk-in shower. This is the biggest swing.
- Fixtures and vanity. Quality of the vanity, countertop, faucets, and toilet.
- Layout and plumbing. Moving the toilet, shower, or sink means new rough plumbing, which adds cost. Keeping the layout keeps it down.
- Size and scope. A primary suite with double vanities and a separate tub and shower is a different project than a hall bath.
- What's behind the walls. In older Southern Utah homes we sometimes open a wall and find black mold or termite damage. Fixing it is the right call, and it affects the final number.
Timeline
A standard bathroom, torn out and put back together, takes about two to four weeks. We usually tell homeowners four and often finish sooner. We do our tile work in-house or with tile setters we've used for years, so we're not waiting on a stranger's schedule.
The One Place Not to Cut Corners
The shower is where cheap work shows up. A poorly waterproofed shower leaks behind the tile and has to be torn out and redone within a few years, so you pay for it twice. Pay once, do it right. That's the whole reason to hire a contractor who has actually set tile and knows what a watertight shower takes.
