Save Thousands on a Bathroom Remodel
$859.00
Medium
Most DIY bathroom renovations cost upwards of $10,000.00—especially when they include new plumbing and installing a shower, tub, vanity, toilet, and flooring. Here’s how I did mine for under 9% of that figure.
The guest bathroom needed an entire ‘gut remodel.’ There was no tub, shower or plumbing for it. And no flooring. Everything was outdated and old. This is the before photo. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the other side of the bathroom, just picture a cement floor and bare walls with laundry hook ups.

The entire remodel ended up being quite affordable.
I paid a plumber to come in and jack hammer a hole into the cement and run a shower and bathtub water line. He charged about $350.00. That’s pretty inexpensive. He is a family friend and plumbed 6 rooms in my house, so I got a great discount.
Next, I found a used tub on the local online classifieds: $25.00.
New toilet $89.00.
