The honest answer is that it depends on the size of the room and what you pick. Below are typical price ranges for the jobs we get asked about most. These are national figures from HomeGuide. Prices in Bergen County often land at the higher end because labor costs more here. For a real number on your bathroom, call (201) XXX-XXXX or use the form for a free quote.
Full Bathroom Remodel
Most full bathroom remodels cost between $5,500 and $15,000, with a typical project around $8,900. Size makes the biggest difference. A small 5 by 7 bathroom often runs $4,200 to $9,600, while a large 10 by 10 room can reach $12,200 to $27,400. Moving the toilet, tub or shower to a new spot adds plumbing cost.

Tub to Shower Conversion
Converting a tub to a shower usually costs $2,000 to $12,000, and about $7,000 is typical. A prefab shower stall is the lowest cost choice. A custom tiled walk-in shower costs more but lasts longer and looks better. Part of the cost is often a drain upgrade, because many tubs have a smaller drain line than a shower needs. More on tub to shower conversions.
Walk-In Shower
A prefab walk-in shower usually runs $1,000 to $8,000 installed. A custom tiled walk-in shower usually runs $3,500 to $15,000. The tile you choose, the size of the shower, the glass door and any water damage found once the old shower comes out all change the final price. More on walk-in showers.
Shower Remodel Only
Remodeling just the shower usually costs $2,000 to $9,000, with about $5,400 being typical. A frameless glass door adds more than a framed one. More on shower remodels.

What Changes the Price
- Size of the room: more square feet means more tile and more labor.
- Tile or acrylic: acrylic panels go in fast and cost less. Tile costs more and takes longer.
- Moving plumbing: keeping the tub, shower and toilet where they are saves the most money.
- What is behind the walls: older Paramus homes sometimes have water damage or old pipes that need fixing first.
- Permits: most remodels that touch plumbing or electrical need a permit from the town.
- Extras: benches, niches, heated floors, glass doors and grab bars.
Ways to Keep the Cost Down
Keep the layout the same, choose a prefab or acrylic shower over custom tile, and pick standard size fixtures. Doing one bathroom at a time is also easier on the budget than doing two at once.
