Cost Guide · Delaware County, PA · 2026
Real bathroom remodel cost ranges for Delaware County homeowners in 2026 — from a basic hall bath refresh to a full master suite renovation. No fluff, just numbers.
Delaware County homeowners ask us this question constantly — and the honest answer is that costs vary widely depending on your bathroom's size, existing conditions, the materials you choose, and whether any plumbing or electrical needs to move. This guide breaks it down by project type so you can walk into any contractor conversation knowing what's realistic.
Milestone Construction is based in Lansdowne and has completed bathroom remodels across Havertown, Springfield, Upper Darby, Media, and the surrounding towns. The numbers below reflect what we're actually seeing in the local market in 2026 — not national averages that may not apply to your row home or colonial.
| Project Type | Typical Cost Range | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Half Bath / Powder Room | $4,000–$10,000 | New vanity, toilet, flooring, paint. Small footprint, minimal plumbing changes. |
| Hall Bath Refresh | $8,000–$15,000 | New tile, tub/shower surround, vanity, fixtures, exhaust fan. No layout change. |
| Full Bathroom Gut Renovation | $15,000–$30,000 | Full demo, waterproofing, new tile throughout, walk-in shower or tub, vanity, plumbing & electrical. |
| Master Bathroom Renovation | $28,000–$55,000+ | Large footprint, custom tile shower, freestanding tub, double vanity, heated floors, premium fixtures. |
Every bathroom remodel is different. Here are the six factors that have the biggest impact on your final number.
Ceramic tile ($2–$6/sqft), porcelain ($4–$12/sqft), natural stone ($10–$30+/sqft). Tile covers floors and walls — it adds up fast. Labor to install tile runs $8–$15/sqft in Delaware County.
A standard tub/shower combo costs $800–$2,500. A custom tile walk-in shower runs $3,500–$8,000+. A freestanding soaking tub adds $1,500–$6,000 for the fixture alone.
A basic vanity costs $400–$1,200. Custom or semi-custom vanities run $1,500–$5,000+. Adding a double vanity or moving plumbing adds $1,500–$3,500 to the project.
Proper waterproofing behind shower walls and floors is non-negotiable. Cutting corners here leads to mold and structural damage. Budget $800–$2,000 for proper waterproofing.
A small 5x7 hall bath costs less than a large master bath. Most Delaware County row homes have compact bathrooms (40–50 sqft) while suburban colonials have larger master baths (80–150 sqft).
Walk-in showers, grab bars, and wider doorways for aging-in-place add $2,000–$8,000 depending on scope. These upgrades also add resale value.
Local market conditions, typical home sizes, and buyer expectations vary across Delaware County. Here's what we typically see by area.
