The Complete Bathroom Renovation Guide

Bathroom Renovation Costs in Georgia and Florida

Bathroom renovations are among the most popular and highest-value home improvements. Costs vary by size, scope, materials, and plumbing relocation needs.

Cost by Bathroom Type

A powder room update costs $5,000–$15,000 (GA) or $6,000–$17,000 (FL) — new vanity, faucet, mirror, lighting, toilet, paint, and flooring. A full bathroom renovation runs $15,000–$35,000 (GA) and $17,000–$40,000 (FL). A master bathroom overhaul ranges from $25,000–$65,000 (GA) to $30,000–$75,000 (FL) with walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, dual vanities, and heated floors.

Shower Design: The Modern Centerpiece

Walk-in showers are the most requested feature, replacing combination tub-shower units. Custom tile walk-in showers cost $4,000–$12,000. Popular features include curbless entries, linear drains, built-in niches, bench seating, and rainfall showerheads. Frameless glass enclosures add $1,200–$3,500.

Waterproofing: The Critical Step

Proper waterproofing is especially critical in Georgia and Florida's high-humidity environments. Systems like Schluter Kerdi and DITRA cost $1,000–$3,000 extra but prevent thousands in potential water damage. A quality exhaust fan (minimum 1 CFM per square foot) is essential.

Tile Selection

Porcelain ($5–$15/sq ft installed) is most popular. Ceramic ($4–$12/sq ft) offers similar variety at lower cost. Natural stone ($15–$40/sq ft) provides unique beauty. Large-format tiles (24×24" and larger) are trending strongly in both states.
