How to Budget a Bathroom
Bergen County bathroom renovations range from $10,000 guest-bath refreshes to $100,000+ primary-suite gut renovations for 2026. Scope is the biggest cost driver, followed by tile and fixture grade.
- Guest / hall refresh — $10,000–$22,000 · 2–4 weeks. New tile, vanity, fixtures, paint. Same layout.
- Primary mid-range — $18,000–$35,000 · 3–5 weeks. New shower, vanity, flooring, fixtures, lighting. Same layout.
- Primary high-end — $35,000–$60,000 · 5–8 weeks. Custom tile walk-in, heated floor, upgraded fixtures, design details.
- Full-gut primary suite — $60,000–$100,000+ · 8–12 weeks. Layout changes, plumbing moves, possibly footprint expansion.
- Typical cost split: tile and shower 25–35%, vanity and counters 12–18%, fixtures 10–15%, plumbing and labor 25–35%, permits 1–3%.

Fixtures, Tile & Vanity
Bathrooms live or die on waterproofing quality and material durability. Bergen County 2026 benchmarks:
- Porcelain tile: $6–$15/sq ft (standard); $15–$35/sq ft (large-format or stone-look).
- Natural stone: marble, limestone, travertine $15–$50+/sq ft depending on grade.
- Vanity (24–60 inch): stock $400–$1,200; semi-custom $1,200–$3,000; custom $3,000–$8,000+.
- Countertop: quartz $55–$110/sq ft installed; natural stone $80–$220/sq ft.
- Shower fixtures: budget $300–$700; mid-range $700–$1,500; premium $1,500–$4,000+.
- Glass enclosure: framed $700–$1,500; semi-frameless $1,500–$2,800; frameless $2,500–$5,000+.

Walk-In Shower vs Tub
Walk-in showers are the dominant 2026 Bergen County primary-bath upgrade. But removing the last tub in the house has real trade-offs — especially for resale and young families.
- Primary bath & additional tub elsewhere: walk-in shower conversion usually wins on daily use and resale.
- Only tub in the house: keep at least one tub if the neighborhood skews young families.
- Acrylic insert conversion: $6,000–$12,000 · 3–5 days.
- Custom tile walk-in: $12,000–$22,000 · 1–2 weeks.
- Barrier-free accessibility-focused walk-in: $18,000–$35,000 · 2–3 weeks.
- Freestanding tub (new): $2,500–$8,000+ plus plumbing rough-in if relocating.

Plumbing & Ventilation
Bathrooms combine plumbing, waterproofing, ventilation, and electrical in a small space. 2026 Bergen County pricing on systems work:
- Moving shower drain or toilet flange: $1,500–$4,000 depending on subfloor access.
- New water lines (replacing galvanized): $1,800–$4,500 per bathroom.
- Waterproofing system (Schluter, Kerdi, Wedi): $1,200–$2,800 material + labor per shower.
- Bathroom exhaust fan with humidity sensor: $350–$900 installed (strongly recommended and often required depending on scope and local code).
- Heated floor (electric mat): $15–$25/sq ft installed, typically $1,200–$3,000 per bath.
- New dedicated 20A GFCI circuit: $350–$750 per circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bathroom renovations cover demolition, framing if needed, waterproofing, new tile, shower or tub, vanity, toilet, flooring, lighting, electrical, plumbing, exhaust fan, finish trim, and painting. Permits, sub-code filings, and inspections are handled as part of the project.
Yes, and for most Bergen County homeowners keeping the footprint is the smartest cost control. A mid-range remodel in the same layout typically delivers more daily value per dollar than moving the shower, toilet, or walls.
We guide material selection as part of every project — tile, vanity, fixture, lighting, and hardware. For primary-suite renovations with layout changes we coordinate with designers when the scope warrants it.
Every project uses a milestone payment schedule tied to agreed phases — set out in writing in your contract. Homeowners who want to finance work typically use third-party home-improvement lenders; we're happy to share the names of lenders other clients have used. Any financing arrangement is between the homeowner and the lender.
For most Bergen County residential projects, 3 to 8 weeks from contract signing to on-site start. Summer and early fall fill fastest. Most planned residential projects are scheduled in advance. We confirm scope, materials, trade coordination, and timing before work begins.
Yes. Dust control, daily cleanup, and respecting the rest of the home are part of how we run a job. For a full-gut primary bath, plan for a second bathroom nearby or a temporary setup.
Yes. Every custom tile shower uses a bonded waterproofing membrane (Schluter Kerdi, Wedi, or Laticrete HydroBan depending on application). Plumbing, venting, and drainage all get permitted and inspected by the town.
Yes. Many older Bergen homes have galvanized water lines, cast-iron drains, or cloth-sheathed wiring. We flag what needs upgrading during consultation and include the upgrades in the written estimate when they affect new work.
Bergen Restoration provides written workmanship warranty terms with every contract. Manufacturer warranty coverage depends on the selected product, installation requirements, and manufacturer terms. Coverage is reviewed before you sign. If something isn't right within the warranty window, we come back and fix it.
