What a full bath looks like
A full bath at MBR runs $15K to $19K. That’s the room down to studs, waterproofed, retiled, refixtured, and put back together. New vanity, new toilet, new shower or tub, new fan, new lighting. Tile on the floor and around the shower.
Glass enclosure is a $2,200 add-on if you want it. Most clients do. It opens the room up and it lasts.
If we’re doing an aging-in-place or ADA build, we add grab bars, a curbless walk-in, a bench seat, and wider clearances where the layout allows. We’ve done a lot of these. They’re not harder, they just need to be planned right from day one.
Timing and permits
Three to six weeks start to finish for most full baths. Quick refresh jobs, fixtures and paint only, can be done in a week or two. Baltimore City and County require permits for plumbing and electrical, and we pull them. You don’t deal with the city.
What we won’t cut corners on
Waterproofing behind the tile. The right pan slope. Backer board not greenboard. Properly vented fan to the outside, not the attic. The stuff you can’t see is the stuff that matters in five years.
