5 Ways to Reduce Your Bathroom Remodel Budget
- Keep plumbing in place — Moving pipes adds $1,000–$5,000+ to any project
- Resurface instead of replace — Refinish tubs and tile rather than replacing them
- Shop pre-assembled vanities — Custom cabinetry costs 3–5x more than stock
- Do demo yourself — Labor for teardown can be 10–15% of total budget
- Time your purchase around sales — Tile and fixtures go on sale at major retailers seasonally
