The first way to get a rough estimate for planning and budgeting is to use a cost-per-square-foot average in your region. Remodeling costs vary a bit from one location to another. You can get this information from your local planning or building codes and inspections office. You can also get this information from a contractor with a quick phone call. If you calculate your estimate this way, you will need to measure your bathroom and calculate the square footage (length x width). Then just multiply the square footage (area) by the average cost per square foot to remodel in your area.

Using cost-per-square-foot average can be misleading when planning a remodel for a bathroom or a kitchen. These rooms are more costly to remodel because of the added cost of plumbing and electrical work as well as the plumbing fixtures, etc. You might be able to get an average cost-per-square-foot for bathroom remodels from your local government. Contractors should also have a good idea of their average prices to remodel a bathroom.
