Is $10,000 Enough for a Full Bathroom Remodel in Collin County?

You’ve looked up the average cost of a bathroom remodel in Collin County, and you’ve seen estimates as low as $5,000-$10,000. Is a budget of $10,000 really enough to remodel everything from the floor to the lighting?

The answer isn’t entirely straightforward. If you have access to free labor (which really translates to DIY labor) and low-cost materials, you may be able to finance your new bathroom on a budget of $10,000. 

Before committing to any major DIY bathroom remodel projects, we encourage you to take a look at our guide to DIY do’s and don’ts. Even little mistakes can have costly repercussions. Something as simple as too little sealant on your shower wall surround could lead to major water damage and mold. As we say in the industry, no bathroom remodel is more expensive than the one you have to do twice!

Why Do Professional Remodels Cost Upwards of $15,000?

If you’re already reading between the lines, you know that it’s not likely that you’ll be able to do a full bathroom remodel with professional labor on a budget of $10,000. This is where we start seeing prices in the $15,000 and up range. Why do so many sources seem to say otherwise? 

Thanks to inflation, average price ranges can become outdated pretty quickly. In fact, inflation tends to hit industries like home remodeling a little harder than others. 

According to the Verisk Repair and Remodel Index, remodel costs increased by 3.43% in Q2 of 2025, compared to the 2.7% increase in inflation. 

What does that mean in terms of actual cost? Let’s look at an example. 

A remodel that cost $10,000 in April of 2025 would have cost $10,343 by July. That might not seem like a huge increase, but it has important long-term implications. A price range posted four or five years ago could be off by a few thousand dollars.

What Factors Will Impact My Full Bathroom Remodel Cost?

Can you break down a price range as big as $15,000 to $75,000? It’s useful to understand what factors will have the biggest impact on your bathroom remodel cost. These factors are:

• The scope or size of your remodel. For example, updating one target area (like your tub or shower) will cost significantly less than a full “studs-to-done” remodel. Similarly, a remodel that takes advantage of your existing plumbing and electrical layout will cost a lot less than a remodel that involves moving your shower or toilet from one wall to another.
• The materials you use for your new bathroom features. For example, acrylic shower walls fall into the pricing mid-range because they’re high in quality and durable, but not as costly as something like natural stone slabs, which fall into the luxury category. 
• The degree of customization in your design. Standard options like a 30” x 60” shower base or basic shower wall colors will cost less than custom sizes or premium designs. (As a sidenote, they will probably be shipped and ready to install faster, too.) Similarly, you can expect to pay more for custom cabinetry or add-on accessories than for pre-fab materials.

Tips for Planning a Bathroom on a Budget of $40,000 or Less

One way to approach a bathroom remodel on a budget is to focus on the upgrades that would make the biggest difference. For example, some homeowners will opt to upgrade their primary shower before (or instead of) tackling a full bathroom remodel. Others will incorporate a few additional upgrades, like new flooring, without doing a full studs-to-done remodel.

In addition to focusing on the areas of your bathroom that most need upgrading, you can also use the following tips to stay out of that $40,000 to $75,000 range:

• Use your existing layout: stick to your current electrical and plumbing configurations and your current bathroom footprint, rather than making major structural changes
• Balance budgeting with durability by using mid-range materials: design your bathroom with materials like acrylic, a more affordable alternative to natural stone or high-end tile that can last 15-20 years
• Prioritize must-have design features: stick to standard or pre-fab options (such as single-color shower wall panels) whenever possible to make more space in your budget for the customizations you really need, like grab bars or non-slip flooring
