If you’ve been dreaming about giving your bathroom a facelift, you’re not alone. Bathroom remodels are one of the most popular — and rewarding — renovation projects among homeowners. Whether you’re updating for functionality, improving style, or adding value before selling, knowing the costs involved is crucial.
At Home Affairs, we specialize in general home services and contracting with a focus on transparent pricing and quality results. In this blog, we’ll break down the average bathroom remodel costs in 2025, highlight factors that influence pricing, and offer smart budgeting tips so you can renovate with confidence.
Average Cost of a Bathroom Remodel in 2025 (Canada)
On average, bathroom remodels in 2025 cost between:
Basic Remodel: $8,000 – $12,000
Mid-Range Remodel: $13,000 – $20,000
Luxury Remodel: $20,000 – $35,000+
These prices vary based on square footage, labor rates in your area, and the materials you choose.
Quick Example:
A small bathroom (5×8 ft) with new tiles, vanity, and fixtures might cost around $10,000.
A large en-suite with custom features like a freestanding tub or heated flooring could cost $25,000+.
Key Cost Factors to Consider
1. Size of the Bathroom
The larger the space, the more materials and labor required — which increases the cost.
2. Scope of Work
Are you doing a light refresh (new paint, fixtures, and lighting), or a full remodel (changing layout, plumbing, etc.)?
Cosmetic Upgrade: ~$5,000–$8,000
Full Remodel: ~$15,000–$30,000+
3. Plumbing and Electrical Changes
Relocating plumbing or electrical lines is one of the most expensive aspects of remodeling. Try to keep the layout the same if you’re on a budget.
4. Material Choices
From budget-friendly ceramic tile to luxury marble, your finishes affect your budget drastically. Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Material | Budget Option | Mid-Range | High-End |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flooring (per sq ft) | $3 – $5 | $6 – $8 | $10 – $15+ |
| Vanity (standard size) | $300 – $600 | $800 – $1,500 | $2,000 – $4,000+ |
| Shower/Bath | $1,000 – $2,000 | $3,000 – $5,000 | $6,000 – $10,000+ |
| Toilet | $150 – $400 | $500 – $800 | $1,000+ |
