Plan a bathroom that works for your space and budget. New Day Construction handles design, material selections, and construction for homeowners in Seattle and nearby King and Snohomish County cities, from a compact powder room to a full primary bath.
Our approach is built around one principle: on budget, on time. We focus on realistic estimates, clearly defined scopes, and coordinated construction to reduce unexpected costs and avoidable delays throughout your bathroom renovation.
Start with what makes the room hard to use. Poor storage, an awkward shower entrance, and a cramped vanity each call for a different fix, and good design connects them before you pick finishes. The prices below are New Day benchmarks as of September 2026 (consider them as rough guides and not fixed quotes).
Better storage, door clearances, and lighting go a long way. A powder room with a new floor, toilet, vanity, mirror, lighting, and paint starts around $20K. A standard 4×8 bathroom with a tub and shower, new vanity, toilet, and tile around the shower runs about $35K. Keeping the plumbing where it is limits disruption, and a smarter vanity arrangement can make the room feel larger.
A primary bathroom with a separate shower and tub, a double vanity, and double mirrors starts around $50K. Luxury primary baths start near $80K. Here you can weigh a soaking tub, custom tile, heated floors, and layered lighting. We help you put premium finishes around a layout that works.
Think about a tub conversion, grab bars, built-in seating, or a curbless shower. The floor depth you have, the drainage, and the needs of the person using the bathroom shape the design. We build accessible bathrooms and shower remodels as full projects.
In Seattle homes, the work behind the tile deserves a spot in the plan. Talk through waterproofing, the condition of the existing plumbing, ventilation, and floor preparation before demolition. New surfaces cannot fix hidden moisture damage.
We aim to include reasonably identifiable construction requirements in the original estimate and explain any assumptions before work begins. Some conditions, including concealed moisture damage, deteriorated framing, or outdated plumbing, may only become apparent during demolition. Homeowner-requested changes can also affect the final cost. When additional work becomes necessary, we explain the findings, available options, and potential costs before proceeding.
Compare easy-care tile, storage, and fixture placement with how much upkeep each one needs. A spa-like room should still be comfortable to clean.
Square footage is only part of a bathroom remodeling estimate. Finish selections, especially tile, can significantly affect installation costs. For example, our rough planning figures have included approximately $75 per square foot for installing large-format tile around 24 by 48 inches, compared with approximately $95 per square foot for smaller 6-by-6-inch tiles in labor-intensive applications. Actual installation costs depend on the tile, layout, surface preparation, and project requirements. A compact bathroom with relocated drains and detailed tilework can cost more than a larger room that preserves the existing layout.
| Bathroom type | New Day starting point (September 2026) |
|---|---|
| Powder room | about $20K |
| Standard bathroom, 4×8 with tub and shower | about $35K |
| Primary bathroom | $50K and up |
| Luxury primary bathroom | $80K and up |
Ask for a written scope before you compare prices. This table shows what each type of project should include:
| Project scope | What to include in the estimate |
|---|---|
| Full remodel, existing layout | Demolition, surface preparation, waterproofing where required, new fixtures, cabinetry, finishes, and any necessary plumbing or electrical updates. |
| Reconfigured or accessible space | Layout changes and drain adjustments, structural work where needed, curbless entry details, and permit requirements. |
Review allowances, exclusions, and the way unexpected repairs get approved with our team. Compare only estimates that cover the same work.
One note on size. We take on full bathroom projects, and a powder room at about $20K is the smallest one we do. If you only need a tub swapped, a bath fitter company can usually do it faster and for less, and we will tell you so.
Lake Forest Park, completed May 2026
New Day remodeled a 32-square-foot bathroom and a 48-square-foot laundry room in Lake Forest Park, with custom cabinetry the client selected. The combined project cost was approximately $54,000. Work ran from mid-March to mid-May 2026.
The total covers both rooms. Your bathroom estimate will reflect the layout, materials, and work you choose.
A successful bathroom remodel starts with a clear plan. Here's how we guide Seattle homeowners from the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, with a focus on realistic budgets, coordinated construction, and clear communication.
At New Day, a powder room starts around $20K, and a standard 4×8 bathroom with a tub and shower runs about $35K. A primary bathroom starts near $50K and a luxury one near $80K (September 2026). Finishes shift these numbers more than room size does. Our Lake Forest Park project, a small bathroom plus a laundry room, came to approximately $54,000.
Match the budget to the type of bathroom and the finish level. About $35K is a fair starting point for a standard full bath, while a primary suite needs $50K or more. Tile size alone can change the labor cost, since small tile installs at about $95 per sq. ft. against $75 for large format. Keep some room for hidden conditions found after demolition, and ask us how changes get documented before you sign.
Not as a full remodel with us. At those budgets you can cover a few cosmetic updates, such as a new vanity or fresh paint, but a full renovation with new plumbing, waterproofing, and tile costs more. Our smallest full project, a powder room, starts around $20K. If you only want a tub replaced, a bath fitter company is often faster and cheaper, and we would send you there.
Finishes come first. Tile size, the vanity, and the flooring all affect labor and material costs. Moving drains, changing the layout, or adding a curbless shower increases the work behind the walls. Hidden problems such as rot or old plumbing can add cost once demolition begins. Anything we can see at the walkthrough goes into the bid from the start.
Accessibility-focused bathroom remodeling costs depend on the existing layout, the person's needs, and the construction required. For context, our standard bathroom renovations typically cost around $35,000, but an accessible bathroom requires its own estimate. Features may include a curbless shower, wider doorway, reinforced walls for grab bars, accessible controls, or additional maneuvering space. ADA accessibility standards generally don't apply to ordinary private single-family bathrooms, although they can provide useful design references. We plan the space around the intended user and applicable residential building requirements rather than assuming one standard layout will work for everyone.
Bathroom remodeling construction typically takes approximately three to eight weeks, depending on the scope, materials, inspections, and existing conditions. Larger or more complex projects can take longer. For example, our Lake Forest Park bathroom and laundry renovation ran from mid-March through mid-May 2026. Design, material selections, and any required permits should be considered separately. Permit approval times vary by project, with some simpler applications moving quickly and more complex alterations requiring additional review.
It depends on the work. Plumbing changes, electrical changes, and structural work usually bring permit requirements, while a simple finish refresh may not. Start with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections remodeling guidance, and we confirm what applies to your address while we review the scope.
Yes, with a plan. Think of the house as a work zone, and decide ahead of time where the kids will be and which rooms stay usable. If this is your only bathroom, agree on an alternative before it goes out of service. When a home has several bathrooms, we can build in phases so one always works, though that stretches the schedule and can add a little cost.
If hidden damage shows up, we explain the issue and your options before agreeing on next steps. You can often trim scope and stay near the original budget or keep the plan and cover the difference. Ask how changes to cost and schedule will be documented.
Yes. Many of our clients plan kitchen and bathroom work together so cabinets, tile and finishes match. Explore kitchen remodeling to plan related work and selections in one conversation.
