Bathroom Type Price Breakdown
Bathroom with a half bath or powder room
The cheapest type of bathroom to remodel is a half bath because it usually only has a toilet and sink. Depending on the quality of the fixtures and whether any plumbing or electrical work needs to be done, you should expect to pay between $6,000 and $12,000.
Bathroom in the Hall
A typical hall bathroom costs between $12,000 and $25,000. This means getting a new tub or shower, toilet, vanity, flooring, lighting, and paint. Improvements like tile surrounds or two sinks can make the price go up.
Main Bathroom
A full master bathroom remodel with bespoke tile, a double vanity, a big walk-in shower, or a freestanding tub can cost anywhere from $25,000 to more than $45,000, especially if you have to change the layout or move the plumbing.
Materials and Finishes: Important Things That Affect the Cost
The materials you choose have a huge effect on the price. Which is better, porcelain tile or marble? Prefab vanity or custom-built? Basic brands vs. high-end brands? These choices add up fast.
Changes to the plumbing or layout
If you change the layout of the space, move plumbing lines, or add square footage, the cost of labor and the number of permits you need will go up.
Work and permits
The cost of professional, licensed work in Maryland varies by county, but it usually costs between $75 and $150 per hour. Permits can cost anywhere from $200 to more than $1,000, depending on where the task is and how hard it is.
Custom Options
Want a walk-in shower with no frame? Floors that are warm? Shelves or niches built into the wall? Depending on what you choose, these extras will cost you an extra $2,000 to $8,000 or more.
Things to think about in Maryland
Here are some things that are specific to Maryland that affect the cost of bathroom remodeling:

How to Plan Your Remodel Budget
Planning ahead helps you avoid surprises. Here’s how to make a wise budget:
Start with a clear goal: Are you just changing the finishes or performing a full gut remodel?
Put away a backup: Plan on spending 10–15% more than you think you would need.
Keep an eye on your ROI expectations: A bathroom redesign can add 50–70% to the value of your property, depending on how well it is done.
