Hi everyone,

The cost to remodel a bathroom can vary widely depending on the size of the space, materials, and the extent of the renovation.

On average, a basic bathroom remodel might cost between $5,000 and $15,000, while more high-end renovations with premium fixtures can exceed $25,000.

Key factors influencing cost include plumbing work, tiling, cabinetry, and lighting. Labor typically accounts for a significant portion of the budget.

To save money, consider reusing existing fixtures or doing minor tasks like painting yourself. Have you remodeled a bathroom recently?

Luckily, I don't think I need a full bathroom remodel yet, but I've been noticing my water heater's acting up lately. One thing or another. The lights flicker weirdly, then the water's not heating. So it's either repair or replace.

Well sometimes it's just little issues that feel super annoying, because you could end up with no hot water at any moment, but they're actually easy to fix. I had some weird stuff going on with my water heater too, but I fixed my water heater lighting thanks to that post at bens.plumbing. Didn't even need to call a plumber, and saved a good amount of money. Just saying, not everything that seems big and scary at first actually is. And there's a lot we can fix ourselves without needing a specialist.
