How Long Does It Take to Remodel a Bathroom?
May 04, 2021While we’d love to give you an exact project timeline, it’s an impossible estimate. Why? There are endless factors that can affect a remodel’s turnaround time, as no two bathrooms, contractors, or homeowners are alike. What we can tell you is this: The timeline of most bathroom remodels is swayed by the project’s scope. So, if you’re concerned about rendering your only bathroom useless for weeks of construction, you can do one of two things to control turnaround time:
- Stick with minor, cosmetic enhancements (cabinetry refurbishing or painting).
- Partner with a contractor who specializes in one-day bathroom remodels.
Jacuzzi Bath Remodel can help you achieve the latter, as we perform one-day bathroom renovations. We always aim to efficiently install our showers and bathtubs, thereby minimizing the remodel’s impact on your home and daily routines.
Common Factors That Affect Turnaround Times
Now, if you are looking for a more comprehensive bathroom remodel—we’re talking total rehaul—then you can expect a longer timeline. The nature of the remodel will heavily determine the length of your project, which can be additionally impacted by the following factors:
Bathroom Size
The size of your bathroom will often influence the length of the project. If you’re working with a contractor, small bathroom remodels average around five weeks. The timeline of larger bathroom remodels can be double that estimate. However, these timetables only stand if circumstances surrounding the project are ideal.
Unexpected Damage
An unideal bathroom remodel usually results in unexpected damage. Thanks to its compact footprint and intricate plumbing network, bathrooms are a complicated room to renovate. Together, these factors make bathrooms susceptible to all sorts of damage before, during, and after construction. A remodeler could find damage during the project evaluation, which may require additional work and a longer project length.
DIY Mishaps
DIY bathroom remodels are a contributing cause of project extensions and unexpected damage. Most DIY projects are squeezed into weekends and can quickly become overwhelming for newbie DIYers who don’t know their way around bathroom complexities.
Special Material Requests
Custom tiles and shower surrounds may seem like a great idea for your bathroom remodel, but requests for special materials can delay a project. Instead of waiting on imported materials to arrive, try partnering with an expert who has all materials readily available—it will quicken the timeline.
