   Beginning to end was something like this: * Demo: removed existing tub, tile, walls, floor, toilet, vanity. Everything down to the studs and subfloor * Minor electrical work to swap out lighting, exhaust fan, add light above shower * Swap out the plumbing for the shower valve * Add in framing & blocking for medicine cabinet, towel rods, grab bar, etc * Install tub + drain assembly * Install go board and waterproofing for tub/shower surround * Install drywall around rest of bathroom (mudding the drywall took me a few weekends, I was slow and bad at this) * I opted to paint the drywall before tiling * Install shower tile * Install floor tile * Install toilet * Install vanity + countertop * Finished with the linen closet shelving

   A cost breakdown of my 2026 DIY bathroom remodel - I wanted to put a post out going over a price breakdown for a DIY bathroom renovation we did in 2025-2026 last winter as a guide and data point for others who are researching for themselves. Also maybe to spark some discussion on what we may have overpaid for (spoiler alert), and how to look for good prices when picking options for renovations. I see a lot of posts online going back many years of people talking about how they completely renovated a bathroom for $3k, $4k, $5k, etc. and while I am not saying that's not doable, after my experience I feel like those numbers are only possible if you're getting very cheap materials and/or fixtures. Here's the numbers (including taxes) broken down for our \~65 sq. ft. primary bathroom, full gut DIY remodel down to the studs: Tile: $1700 We were quite picky with our tile choices and didn't really like many of the options at Menards, HD, Floor and Decor, etc. We went to Tile Shop and really liked their selections, however I am well aware they are much pricier and next time I will probably stick to something like Floor and Decor. This number includes shower tile, floor tile, and an accent wall tile. Tub: $1250 We really wanted a deep soak tub compared to our 8 inch deep old cast iron tub. Kohler has a few options for deep alcove tubs so we went with the Archer. This number includes the drain kit assembly. Toilet: $550 I spent too much time reading about toilets and figured I'd buy the best so we went with a TOTO Drake. This one includes shipping as I could not get the 10" rough in I needed locally. Vanity: \~$2250 This is the single biggest purchase here and we definitely could have saved a ton of money. With the small bathroom we wanted the vanity to have good storage, and I didn't like many of the cheap options at the big box stores. We opted to get a 30" vanity built locally and a quartz remnant countertop made to the exact measurements for our space, which was good too because the corner this went in wasn't square so an off-the-shelf pick would have fit poorly and look bad. The vanity has two deep drawers with tons of storage so we don't need junk piled on the countertop. I do think for a non-primary bathroom, if the vanity is not going in a corner a nicer vanity from Lowes or something would be perfectly adequate at 1/3 the price. Fixtures: \~$1550 I read that dedicated supply stores like Ferguson have much higher quality parts than what you can buy with Home Depot, Lowes, etc. so we purchased mostly Moen parts through them. This includes things like the faucets, lights, medicine cabinet, towel bars, curtain rod, exhaust fan, etc. I definitely think we could have saved money here but with thousands of options to pick from at some point I just ordered. The Schluter shower shelves we got were quite spendy but I opted for these over fucking up a niche. We definitely didn't get what I would consider high end fixtures but everything we purchased was a step above what you'd find at Lowes/HD, and these added up fast. Building & Tiling Supplies: $3000 - $3250 This was the biggest surprise to me and made my eyes pop when I tallied it up. I'm not able to break this down much further but this includes my purchases at hardware stores like Menards, Ace, Home Depot, Lowes, and Floor and Decor throughout the remodel. The items purchased included primarily building materials (drywall, plywood, go board, plumbing materials, screws), tiling supplies (thinset, underlayment, grout, silicone, spacers), and others (various tools, masks & garbage bags, buckets, etc. etc. etc.) I purchased a few tools like a tile cutter, angle grinder, tiling and drywall stuff, but primarily borrowed or had existing tools. This stuff just kept adding up every week and I'm not really sure how others are able to keep this down. These purchases were mostly $100-$200 at a time but every week there were more things I had to run out to get. Paint: $200 I already had some paint supplies but this included Benjamin Moore Aura Bath & Spa and some new rollers/brushes. Total: \~$10,750 I hope this gives some useful information and I'm curious how it compares to other peoples' experiences. I am aware there are several areas we could have spent less on, but I'm curious how much tariffs and inflation have affected prices compared to previous years. I also have no idea what this would have looked like to get it hired out. I figured it'd be $10k+ in labor so I opted to struggle over 5 months learning to do it all myself. If there's interest, I can also do a follow up post showing pictures of the final bathroom along with some lessons learned along the way. Edit: here's some pictures I have of the finished bathroom. Hard to get good angles since it's a small room. These also were taken before I finished siliconing the top edge of the tile along the ceiling

   I'm renovating a beat to hell 1962 bathroom. It had an ugly golden oak 1990's medicine cabinet recessed into the attic. I had a hard time finding a good recessed (aka wall mounted) medicine cabinet with space and a big mirror but I found it on Amazon. Its "Mepplzian Oval Medicine Cabinet Mirror 38x24 White Cabinet" its WALL mounted, not surface mounted. The mirror opens like butterfly wings and its really nice looking. It looks like a frameless mirror hanging flush on the wall but then you open it from either side and see the cabinet.

   I think its only called a medicine cabinet nowadays. Most people keep face washing and dental stuff in there.
