HOW MUCH DOES A BATHROOM MODEL COST IN ORLANDO IN 2026?
If you're considering remodeling your bathroom, one of the first questions you're probably asking is: How much is this going to cost?
The answer depends on much more than the size of the bathroom. Layout changes, tile selection, plumbing, shower design, vanity size, electrical work, and the condition of the existing space can all affect the final price.
In the Orlando area, a bathroom remodel can range from a relatively simple update to a complete custom renovation.
At USAT Homes, we help homeowners understand the entire project before construction begins—from design and material selection to demolition and installation.
Typical bathroom remodeling costs in Orlando
in 2026, bathroom remodels in Orlando can generally fall into the three categories:
basic bathroom update full bathroom remodel custom or primary bathroom
BASIC BATHROOM UPDATE-
Basic Bathroom Update: $10,000–$15,000+
This may include replacing existing finishes without significantly changing the layout, such as a new vanity, toilet, flooring, paint, fixtures, and updating the tub or shower area.
full bathroom remodel-
Full Bathroom Remodel: $15,000–$25,000+
A more complete renovation may include demolition, new flooring, a tiled shower or tub surround, waterproofing, vanity, countertops, plumbing fixtures, lighting, paint, baseboards, and accessories.
custom or primary bathroom-
Custom or Primary Bathroom Remodel: $25,000–$40,000+
Larger primary bathrooms or more customized renovations can include oversized walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, custom niches, multiple shower fixtures, premium tile, double vanities, layout modifications, additional electrical work, and higher-end finishes.
What Affects the Cost of a Bathroom Remodel?
Two bathrooms that are approximately the same size can have very different renovation costs.
Here are some of the biggest factors.
1. Changing the Bathroom Layout
Keeping your toilet, shower, tub, and vanity in approximately the same locations will usually cost less than completely changing the floor plan.
Moving plumbing or electrical locations requires additional labor and may also require permits and inspections depending on the scope of work.
2. Tub-to-Shower Conversions
One of the most popular bathroom renovations we see in Orlando is replacing an existing bathtub with a walk-in shower.
A tub-to-shower conversion may involve demolition, drain and plumbing adjustments, a new shower valve, waterproofing, shower tile, a niche, shower flooring, a curb or other entry design, and a new glass enclosure.
Don't Overlook Waterproofing
The beautiful tile is what you see when the bathroom is finished—but what's behind the tile is just as important.
Proper shower waterproofing helps protect the walls and structure of your home from moisture.
At USAT Homes, we use the Schluter® waterproofing system for our shower installations. Depending on the system and installation requirements, Schluter offers extensive manufacturer warranty coverage.
This is one area where choosing the cheapest remodeling quote isn't always the best decision. A beautiful shower that isn't properly waterproofed can become a very expensive problem later.
How Long Does a Bathroom Remodel Take?
A typical bathroom renovation can take approximately 2–4 weeks of construction, depending on the project's size and complexity.
A straightforward bathroom can be completed faster, while a larger primary bathroom with layout changes, extensive tile work, inspections, or custom features can take longer.
Projects requiring permits should also allow additional time for permitting and inspections.
We provide homeowners with a project schedule so they understand what to expect throughout the renovation.
Bathroom Trends We're Seeing in 2026
Bathrooms are becoming warmer and more personalized.
Instead of completely white and gray spaces, we're seeing more:
Warm wood vanities · Burgundy and earthy tones · Black-and-white checkered flooring · Textured tile · Organic-shaped mirrors · Brass fixtures · Mixed metals · Large walk-in showers · Statement lighting
The goal isn't necessarily to use every trend. A good bathroom design combines elements you love with materials that will still look beautiful years from now.
