Types of project

What people ask us about for the bathroom

Knowing which one you are planning helps a contractor tell you what is realistic.

01

A quick refresh

New paint, lighting, mirror, hardware or fixtures, with the layout unchanged.

02

Vanity, toilet and fixtures

Replacing the main fixtures, which can be simple or can need plumbing changes.

03

Shower or tub replacement

A new shower, tub or surround, where waterproofing matters most.

04

Tub-to-shower conversion

Replacing a tub with a walk-in or standard shower.

05

A full remodel

New layout or finishes, tile, fixtures, lighting and ventilation, usually with several trades.

06

Accessibility upgrades

Walk-in showers, grab-bar reinforcement and other changes to make the room safer to use.

What decides the cost

Six things that shape the price of a bathroom project

01

The size of the room

A small bathroom is not always cheap, because the fixtures and tile still need doing.

02

Layout changes

Moving the toilet, shower or sink means moving plumbing.

03

Materials and fixtures

Tile, vanity, shower system and finishes can range widely.

04

Waterproofing and hidden repairs

Rot or damage behind old walls and floors is common in older bathrooms.

05

Permits and inspections

Required for some plumbing and electrical work, and set by your city or county.

06

The trades involved

Plumbing, electrical, tile and carpentry may each be a separate cost.

Before you sign

Six things to ask any remodeling contractor before signing

01

Are you licensed and insured?

Ask for the license number and proof of insurance, then check them with your state or local board.

02

How will you waterproof it and ventilate the room?

Ask them to explain it, not only to say it is included.

03

What is in the written contract?

The scope, price, schedule and materials, in writing.

04

Who does the plumbing and electrical?

Their own team or subcontractors, and who is responsible for the work.

05

How do you handle surprises and changes?

Ask how extra work is priced and approved before it is done.

06

What is warrantied?

Ask what is covered, for how long, and who to contact if something goes wrong.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

How much does a bathroom remodel cost?

It varies with the size, how much you change, the materials and fixtures, and where you live. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for a written, itemized quote that shows what is included.

How long will my bathroom be out of use?

It depends on the scope. A simple update can be quick, while a full remodel can take a few weeks. Ask for a written schedule and what could change it, and plan where you will shower in the meantime.

Do I need a permit?

Often, for work involving plumbing, electrical or structural changes. The rules differ by city and county, and the contractor should explain what is needed and handle it.

Why does waterproofing matter?

Water that gets behind tile or into the floor can cause damage that is expensive to fix. Ask how the contractor waterproofs showers and tubs, and how the room is ventilated.

Can I keep the layout to save money?

Often, yes. Moving the toilet, shower or sink usually means moving plumbing, which adds cost and work. Ask the contractor what changes would cost more and why.

Can a bathroom be made safer or more accessible?

Yes. Options include a walk-in shower, a higher toilet and reinforcement in the walls for grab bars. A contractor can explain what suits your needs and your home.

Does the contractor need to be licensed?

Rules differ by state and sometimes by city. Ask for the license number and proof of insurance, check them with your licensing board, and ask for recent references.

What should I have ready?

What you want to change, a rough budget and timeline, photos of the bathroom, and your ZIP code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a remodeling company?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't do the work, price it or guarantee it. The contractor who contacts you is responsible for the job and the quote.

Will several contractors call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified contractor contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
