Notes

Where the number comes from. The national price for a full bathroom remodel is $260 per ft² of bathroom — full bathroom remodel pricing published for 2026, $150–$450 per ft² of bathroom. Labor is about 50% of that. Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters near Federal Way, WA average $96,250 a year against a U.S. mean of $72,170 — a factor of 1.334 — so the labor half is scaled by that and the material half is not. Source: BLS OEWS May 2025 for the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metro area, SOC 47-2152.
Why the city matters, not just the state. Trade pay moves inside a state as much as it does between states. Crews do not commute across a state to bid a job, and materials ship at national prices either way — so a metro wage is the honest input here and a state average quietly rounds four different cities into one number.
What is in the price: demolition, new tub or shower, toilet, vanity, tile to the walls and floor, waterproofing, lighting, fan, paint and labor.
What is not: moving any fixture from its existing position, structural changes, a window, and asbestos or lead work in an older house. These are the lines that turn a $18,203 quote into a $22,753 invoice, so ask about each one before signing.
Use this as a bid check, not a quote. It prices an average job in average condition. Difficult access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a per-unit average.

What Drives a Bathroom Budget — Fixture Count, Not Floor Area
Doubling the floor area barely changes the cost. Adding a second sink and moving the toilet changes it a great deal.
Where to Spend and Where Not To — Behind the Wall Beats On It
Anything that can be replaced in an afternoon is a candidate for saving. Anything behind tile is not.
What to Do Yourself — Demolition and Paint, Not Waterproofing
Homeowner labour is worth most at the start and at the end of a bathroom, and worth least in the middle.
How Long a Bathroom Takes — Most of It Is Waiting
The working days in a bathroom remodel number about ten. The elapsed weeks are three times that, and the gap is what surprises people.
Return on a Bathroom — A Midrange Remodel Beats an Upscale One
Every year the remodelling cost studies say the same thing, and every year people spend more on a bathroom than the market will return.
