Bathroom Remodel Cost Guide for Greater Phoenix Homeowners

Typical Greater Phoenix price ranges by project type

These are reference ranges for professionally installed, permitted projects from full-service Valley remodelers. Actual quotes depend on the existing bathroom, materials, plumbing layout, and overhead — older central-Phoenix stock and historic Scottsdale homes often land at the higher end.

• Tub-to-shower conversion (existing footprint, acrylic): $7,500 – $14,500
• Walk-in shower replacement (acrylic, semi-custom): $9,500 – $18,000
• Walk-in shower (tile build-out, custom): $14,000 – $28,500
• Full bathroom remodel (layout unchanged): $12,500 – $24,000
• Full gut remodel (plumbing relocation, new layout): $19,000 – $42,000+
• Accessibility-focused conversion: $8,500 – $24,500 depending on features

What drives the cost up or down in the Valley

Demo scope matters most. A clean swap inside a 2000s Gilbert, Chandler, or Peoria framed alcove is the most predictable scope in the region. An Arcadia, Encanto, or Coronado pre-war home with plaster, original supply lines, and a vent fan that needs rerouting can add $2,000–$5,000 before the shower system is installed.

Tile is the other big swing. Acrylic systems install in 1–3 days; tile runs 1–3 weeks because waterproofing, mortar, and grout each need dry time. Higher-finish neighborhoods like Paradise Valley, North Scottsdale, McCormick Ranch, Kierland, Biltmore, and Desert Ridge more often go tile because the bathroom is treated as a feature room.

• Scope of demo: surface vs. down-to-studs
• Shower system: acrylic insert vs. semi-custom acrylic vs. tile
• Plumbing: stay in place vs. cut into a post-tension or standard slab
• Subfloor / slab condition (older central-Phoenix homes can need repair)
• Vent fan rework — critical in Valley summer heat and humidity from showers
• Hard-water staining on existing tile and glass
• Permit and disposal fees (vary by jurisdiction)
