Cost guide
What a bathroom remodel actually costs in Overland Park
Contractors avoid publishing numbers because every bathroom differs. Fair enough — but you still deserve a starting range before you take a phone call. Here is how projects in Johnson County typically price out, and exactly what moves the number.
- Ranges based on Johnson County labor and material costs
- Written allowances in every quote
- No cost for the consultation
Typical ranges
Starting ranges by project type
These are planning ranges for the Overland Park area, inclusive of labor and mid-grade materials. Your written quote will be a specific number, not a range.
Tub-to-shower conversion
Existing footprint and drain reused. Includes tub removal, waterproofing, wall tile, new valve and fixtures, and a glass panel or door.
$9,000 – $16,000
Shower rebuild / remodel
Full tear-out to framing, pan and waterproofing rebuilt, tile, niche, valve and glass. Framing or subfloor repairs are quoted separately if found.
$11,000 – $22,000
Hall bath remodel
Same layout: floor and shower tile, vanity and top, toilet, lighting, fan, paint and trim, plus a tiled shower or tub-shower.
$18,000 – $38,000
Primary suite remodel
Larger footprint, double vanity, curbless shower with glass, often a freestanding tub, heated floor and custom niche or bench work.
$35,000 – $75,000+
Accessible / aging-in-place bath
Walk-in tub or curbless seated shower, anchored grab bars, slip-resistant flooring, widened entry and comfort-height fixtures.
$18,000 – $45,000
Ranges are estimates for planning only and are not a quote or an offer. Material prices and lead times change; your fixed scope is confirmed after an in-home measurement.
What moves the number
Six decisions that change your bathroom budget more than anything else
Layout changes
Moving the toilet, shower drain or a wet wall adds plumbing labor and, on a slab, concrete work. Keeping the layout is the single biggest saving available.
Tile size and pattern
Large-format porcelain installs faster but needs flatter walls. Herringbone, mosaic floors and full-height accent walls all add labor hours.
Glass
A single fixed panel is far less than a frameless door and return with custom hardware. Glass is often the most under-budgeted line item.
What is behind the wall
Cast-iron drains, galvanized supply, rotted subfloor and undersized framing are common in older Overland Park homes and are real, documented costs.
Fixture and vanity level
Stock vanity and mid-grade fixtures versus semi-custom cabinetry, quartz and designer fixtures can swing a hall bath by five figures.
Heated floor and niche work
Electric floor heat, lit niches and benches are worthwhile upgrades — just decide on them before demolition, not during tile.
Saving money sensibly
Three ways to lower the cost without regretting it
Keep the layout
Leaving the toilet and drain where they are can save several thousand dollars and days of schedule. Almost nobody misses the move once the room is finished.
Spend on the shower, save on the vanity
The shower assembly is the part you cannot easily redo later. A stock vanity with a quartz top looks excellent and can be upgraded any weekend down the road.
Choose simple tile in large format
One handsome large-format porcelain, set well, reads more expensive than a busy mosaic and costs less to install.
