What moves the price most
- Moving plumbing — relocating a toilet or shower drain adds the most cost
- Material level — natural stone and custom cabinetry vs. porcelain and semi-custom
- Glass and fixtures — designer finishes and thermostatic valves add up
- Hidden conditions — water damage or old galvanized pipes found during demolition
- Permits and HOA requirements
Where to save without looking cheap
Keep the toilet and drains where they are, use porcelain that looks like stone, splurge on one feature (a statement vanity or shower wall), and choose a semi-custom vanity in a standard width.
