Where bathroom budgets actually go
- The wet area is the project: tile work, waterproofing, and glass are the labor-dense core. A tub-to-shower conversion is its own line — see our conversion guide.
- Tile level compounds — it changes material AND labor on every tiled surface.
- Plumbing stays or moves — keeping fixtures in place is the single best budget decision in a bathroom.
