AROUND how much does it cost to install a bathroom??

Question

I have a one bathroom house. And I am interested in putting a second bathroom in the basement of my home. I would like the second bathroom to be directly underneath the bathroom upstairs.

Answer 1

A lot will depend on how much you plan to do yourself. If installing in a basement it may be necessary to have a raised floor to accommodate pipes. For a 1/2 bath with economical finishes, basic fixtures and careful selection of subs you could possibly have it done for around $3,000. You could save on this if you can do the carpentry yourself (maybe get a family member to assist). I would estimate another $1000 for a basic tub including labor. Also will depend on the labor costs and demands in your area.
