Subject: Labor/material cost. The typical split for labor/material is 60/40; a little more than half the cost is labor. The labor cost includes general contractor overhead and profit. $17,000 sounds like a reasonable average for a master bathroom remodel. A smaller powder room or guest bath could of course be much less.
The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) puts the national average at about $16,000. Another guide is Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value report, which compares the average cost of various renovation projects with the value they retain at resale. In 2011-2012, mid-range bathroom remodels cost an average of $16,552 and recouped 62 percent, while upscale bathroom remodels cost an average of $52,249 and recouped 56 percent. Hereâs how the NKBA breaks down the budget for a typical bathroom remodel: Labor: 20 percent. Cabinetry and hardware: 16 percent.
