Cost Breakdown by Remodel Type
Basic Bathroom Refresh: $2,000–$5,000
A basic refresh is the right choice when your bathroom layout and plumbing are in good shape, but the surfaces look dated. You're not moving anything — you're updating what's there. This is also the most popular pre-sale scope for Utah County homeowners who need a quick improvement before listing.
Mid-Range Remodel: $5,000–$12,000
The mid-range is where you get a dramatic transformation without a full gut. You're keeping the plumbing in the same locations but replacing the surfaces: tile in the shower, new flooring, an upgraded vanity, and better lighting. This is the most common scope for Utah County homeowners who want a "real remodel" without the highest price point.
Full Custom Gut Remodel: $12,000–$25,000+
A full gut remodel means everything comes out — flooring, walls, fixtures — and you build exactly what you want. Custom tile showers with built-in niches, freestanding tubs, frameless glass enclosures, double vanities with custom cabinetry. This is the remodel you see in design magazines, and it's what Fixer Handyman LLC does best.
What Drives Bathroom Remodel Costs in Utah County
Tile Selection & Complexity
Standard 12×24 tile in a simple pattern is the most affordable. Large-format tile (24×48), herringbone, or mosaic patterns require more cutting and labor time, increasing cost by 20–40%. Custom tile showers with floor-to-ceiling tile are at the high end of the range.
Plumbing Changes
Keeping plumbing in the same locations is the biggest cost saver. Moving a toilet or shower adds $500–$2,000+ depending on complexity. If you're doing a basic refresh and not moving anything, plumbing cost is minimal (faucet swaps, toilet replacement).
Vanity Choice
Stock vanities from home improvement stores run $200–$800. Semi-custom vanities run $800–$2,500. Fully custom built-in cabinetry can run $3,000–$8,000. For most mid-range remodels in Utah County, a quality semi-custom vanity is the sweet spot.
Shower Type
A tub/shower combo with a tile surround is the most affordable shower option. A walk-in tile shower with frameless glass is mid-range. A large walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling custom tile, a built-in bench, two niches, and frameless glass is at the top of the range.
Permits
Most cosmetic remodels in Utah County (tile, vanity, flooring) don't require permits. Projects involving structural changes, moving walls, or new electrical circuits may require permits. We'll advise you on this during your free estimate.
