A bathroom remodel can be a fun home improvement project. We utilize the bathrooms in our homes constantly throughout the day, and picking out new fixtures and colors can result in a drastic update in both appearance and performance. But many homeowners hesitate to schedule a remodel due to stress around costs and budgeting.

As a knowledgable bathroom remodeling company in Atlanta, Remarkable Installations knows the importance of creating a realistic budget and then sticking to it, and has some professional advice for homeowners that are still on the fence about a getting bathroom remodel.

Average Costs

First and foremost, a bathroom remodel is an investment, and prices tend to reflect that. According to the Angi website, an American homeowner in 2025 can expect to pay anywhere between $6,000 and $17,000 for a standard bathtub and shower remodel, with the national average coming in at $12,000. For those interested in a full, floor-to-ceiling project, costs could fluctuate up to $30,000. 

It's worth noting that bathroom renovations tend to have a high return on investment (ROI), ranging from about 50% on the low end to 74% on the high end. This means homeowners will see an increased home resale value as a result of this home improvement project.
