By preserving the existing layout and major components, this approach prioritizes small, manageable changes that enhance the bathroom’s aesthetic appeal without tackling significant design challenges.
A cosmetic bathroom refresh may include:
- Refinished Vanity
- New Caulk/Paint
- New trim
- New Mirror
- Plumbing/Electrical fixtures
- Cabinet handles

What Affects the Cost of Your Bathroom Remodel?
Several factors can affect the cost of your bathroom remodel. Here are the three most important ones to consider when planning your project:
Level of Customization
Highly customized bathroom designs typically come with a higher price tag. Custom features require more labor and premium materials, so expect increased costs for tailored options.Contractor Involvement
Hiring a contractor who handles every aspect of planning, organizing, and constructing your remodel will generally cost more than one who delegates responsibilities to you or other subcontractors.Quality of Products and Materials
Investing in durable, high-quality materials ensures your bathroom remodel lasts for years. While this often increases the upfront cost, it prevents issues and saves money in the long run.
