Bathroom Remodel Costs: What Homeowners in Spokane & Coeur d'Alene Need to Know
Thinking about remodeling your bathroom? You're not alone. In Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, and across North Idaho, bathroom renovations are one of the most requested home improvement projects. But let’s be honest—before you get into tile colors or faucet styles, the first question on your mind is probably:
"How much is this going to cost?"
At The Building Company, we hear that question every day—and we get it. Whether you're updating a dated guest bath or building out a spa-like primary suite, you need a real-world budget to plan around.
Let’s break it down.
What Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Spokane & North Idaho?
For a full bathroom remodel, most homeowners in our region spend between $20,000 and $65,000+.
That’s a wide range, and for good reason:
- A cosmetic guest bath update might cost closer to $20K
- A full primary bathroom gut remodel with luxury finishes can land well north of $60K
- Most high-function, high-quality bathrooms fall somewhere in the $35K–$55K range
It all comes down to scope, layout, materials, and plumbing.
What Impacts the Cost of a Bathroom Remodel?
Several factors can swing your bathroom remodel budget up or down. Here are the big ones:
🚿 Size & Layout
A 5x8 guest bath is far more straightforward than a sprawling primary with dual vanities, custom tile, and a freestanding tub.
💧 Plumbing Moves
Keeping plumbing in the same place saves money. Moving showers, toilets, or vanities? That means demo, trenching, and new lines—and that adds up.
⚖️ Materials & Fixtures
Tile can range from $2 to $40+ per square foot. Vanities might be prefab from a box store or fully custom cabinetry. Fixtures like faucets, lighting, and shower glass come in a wide range of price points.
🏙️ Waterproofing & Code Compliance
Bathrooms demand high-performance materials and skilled waterproofing. This isn’t just about avoiding leaks—it’s about protecting your home. Skipping steps here leads to costly repairs later.
What You Get at Different Budget Levels
Here’s a rough guide based on our work across Spokane, Liberty Lake, Sandpoint, and surrounding areas:
$20,000–$35,000: Guest Bath Update
- Keep layout mostly the same
- New fixtures, vanity, lighting, tile
- Simple tub/shower combo
- Prefab or semi-custom finishes
$35,000–$45,000: Mid-Range Primary Remodel
- Remove old finishes, possible layout tweaks
- New tile throughout
- Upgraded vanity and countertops
- Glass shower enclosure
- Improved lighting and ventilation
$50,000–$65,000+: Luxury Primary Bath
- Full redesign or layout reconfiguration
- Heated floors, standalone tub, walk-in shower
- Custom cabinets, high-end tile, and designer fixtures
- Built-in niches, lighting controls, and smart features
