Bathroom remodeling is one of the most popular home improvement projects in Philadelphia — and one of the most searched for online. Whether you are updating a small guest bath or completely transforming your master bathroom, here is an honest look at what it actually costs in Philadelphia in 2025.
A standard bathroom remodel in Philadelphia — full gut renovation of a 5x7 or 5x8 bath with new tile, vanity, toilet, and fixtures — typically runs between $12,000 and $25,000. A walk-in shower conversion, where you remove a tub and build a custom shower, runs between $15,000 and $30,000. A master bathroom renovation with a double vanity, custom walk-in shower, and premium tile typically runs between $25,000 and $60,000.
Tile is the most significant material cost in a bathroom remodel. Basic ceramic tile is affordable; large-format porcelain tile or natural stone can add $5,000 to $15,000 to your project depending on the size of the space. The vanity is another major variable — a builder-grade vanity from a big box store costs $300 to $800 while a custom or semi-custom vanity can run $2,000 to $8,000. Plumbing fixture quality — faucets, shower systems, and accessories — also varies significantly.
Many Philadelphia rowhouses have bathrooms that were added or reconfigured over the years, often with older plumbing connections and limited space. When we open the walls during demo, we sometimes find plumbing that needs to be updated to meet current code. This is one of the reasons we always include a contingency recommendation of 10 to 15 percent in our estimates for older homes.
