Key price factors on the Eastside are whether it is a master or guest bath, removing 90s jetted tubs, relocating drains, and upgrading outdated plumbing lines. Updated with 2026 Bellevue labor, permit, access, code and material cost factors.
If you are on local Reddit threads you have probably seen people venting about $60,000 quotes for a master bathroom. The reality is bathroom pricing varies wildly based on what is hiding in the walls.
Here is what actually drives your budget in a Bellevue home:
Bellevue bathroom remodels in 2026 often range from $32,000 to $65,000 for a standard hall bath and $65,000 to $120,000 for a primary bathroom with custom tile, heated floors, better ventilation, glass, double vanity and upgraded fixtures. Curbless showers, slab walls, steam, wall-hung toilets, major plumbing moves or higher-spec fixtures can reach $130,000 to $220,000+. Costs rise with polybutylene or galvanized pipe, rotten subfloors, undersized fans, electrical upgrades, waterproofing systems and MyBuildingPermit trade inspections.
Remodeling has moving parts. We define scope, document assumptions, and coordinate each phase so you know what is happening from consultation through final walkthrough.

This Bellevue bathroom leans more polished than dramatic: a long double vanity, clean gray cabinetry, backlit mirrors, chrome hardware, and a marble-look shower that feels bright without becoming cold.
We carry $2 million in liability insurance and a full Washington state contractor bond and coordinate work to meet local code requirements and inspections where required. We focus on clear documentation, practical communication, and accountable project execution.
Real feedback from kitchen, bathroom, basement, deck, and home remodeling projects.
I hired renova contractors, they took it from white box to full shop, office build, drywall paint, concrete patching, siding n roof fix, all on time
Nick and the Renova team updated a bathroom in our condo in Seattle. They removed a shower insert and glass door, upgraded the shower head and faucet, and tiled the shower area. They did a really nice job, especially with the tiling work. We were in Oregon during the entire job, and we appreciated Nick’s communication with us that included progress reports with pictures at the end of each day. We will definitely consider them for future jobs.
We worked with Nick and the Renova team for our bathroom remodel and only have great things to say. Our Queen Anne home was built in the 1930's and had many quirks and the last time the bathroom had been touched was the 70's. They trusted our vision and design and gave realistic but reasonable quotes to get us to that vision. It only took them 2.5 weeks to do a significant remodel and the results are amazing. Throughout the processes they were communicative - even while we were traveling abroad we knew what was occuring and are so happy with the results. We will definitely work with this team again.
We hired Renova to do some trim/frame repair work and painting for newly replaced window glass at our City Hall building and they were very professional and communication was great.
I recently hired this team to repair my roof after a fire and to build a deck above it, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The project was complicated — after the fire, the roof began leaking, and they had to gut part of the ceiling to let everything dry out. They handled every step professionally and thoroughly. They rebuilt the damaged walls, repaired all the interior areas affected by water, replaced the trim, and repainted so everything looked fresh and seamless. They were also great about addressing every punch-list item, big or small. Throughout the entire process, they were on time, on budget, and consistently communicated what they were doing. The quality of their work really shows, and my home looks better than it did before the damage. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable, skilled contractors.
Renova was responsive, timely, and their prices were fair. The final product was exactly what I asked for. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.
I was looking to renovate my bathroom, and I got an in-person visit and quote the same day I reached out. Unlike other contractors who over promise and under deliver, Mike and Nick were the opposite. They gave realistic timelines and ultimately exceeded all our expectations. They’d notice things my husband and I didn’t catch and would fix them right away. If you want honest hardworking people to help you make your home beautiful, I highly recommend them!
We had an issue with water leaking in from the corner of our daylight basement, due to how the house was built there were multiple different issues with water leaking in our basement and it was a mess with black mold and water damage. We had Renova come out and look and they were very straightforward and transparent with what needed to be done, they were not just trying to get the job they were honest. They came all the way out from Seattle to Stanwood and did a very thorough job in repairing the black mold damage and they completely dug around the outside foundation of our daylight basement to water proof very thoroughly. It was a very big project but it needed to be done. We had them re paint our downstairs, build a 1,000 square foot back patio, build a new back deck, and we plan on using them to do more work. We are very happy with their hard work and attention to detail and highly recommend them.
Thank you for the kitchen renovation in Bothell. The cabinets were amazing Mike did an awesome job with consulting us on what to pick and what materials will best suite us. The countertops were amazing they look great and really are a highlight of my kitchen. The backsplash installation was also great and the tile looks amazing thank you for sourcing it at a discount. Will recommend to my friends everything was amazing from communication to the labor itself. Thank you guys
Dimitri and his team are amazing craftsmen! They worked on our older Seattle mid century modern home to completely gut and update our three bathrooms. Their attention to detail is amazing and they treated our home like it was their own. They made sure to cover all the floors and drape the house with plastic to manage dust which we really appreciated. From demo up to delivering the final product he was very communicative and included us in decision making. They worked and coordinated so well when other subs came in. We trusted Dimitri and his team and our dogs loved them too. I have rehabbed many homes and I have never seen the amazing tiling craftsmanship that they delivered in three distinctly designed bathrooms. They work hard and were completely dedicated to our project to get it done on time and within our budget. In closing, I will hire them again for a couple of other major projects we have to finish our home.
I had a positive experience working with the Renova team for a kitchen restoration project requiring drywall replacement work, resetting cabinetry, counter top setting, sink and dishwasher placement / connection, tile and finishing. They delivered quickly and effectively on a kitchen restoration which included kitchen cabinet installation of existing cabinets which were present onsite and temporarily removed. The team communicates consistently, and follows through on their word. I would trust them to work on future projects.
I was recommended to Renova by my friend Sao for a toilet replacement. They were super responsive and literally got an opening next-day to stop by and do the work in less than 2 hours for a very reasonable price. I was impressed by how considerate they were - they asked if I wanted them to remove their shoes and, when I didn't, instead asked for a towel to clean their shoes so they wouldn't stain the floor. They did a really great job - I only wish they had taken away the existing toilet but I can do that myself for not too much pain.

It varies hugely. A basic hall bathroom update where we keep the plumbing in the same place might run 25k to 35k. But if you are ripping out a massive 90s jetted tub in a master bath to build a custom glass walk in shower with heated floors you are realistically looking at 45k to 65k plus depending on your tile choices.
If you are literally just swapping a tub and not moving the drain or changing the valve you might not need a permit. But if we have to open the wall to install a new shower mixing valve Bellevue requires a plumbing permit and an inspection to make sure the water lines are pressurized safely.
Because the quality is completely different. The shower valves at places like Keller Supply have solid brass internal components whereas retail stores sell the same brand but with plastic internals to hit a lower price point. Plus we give you our contractor pricing support so you get the better stuff for less.
Absolutely. If the cabinet boxes are in good shape and not water damaged we can easily save them. We can just install a new quartz countertop from Pental Surfaces and put in under mount sinks to give it a completely modern look without buying a whole new cabinet.
A full gut master bathroom usually takes about 3 to 5 weeks from demo to the final glass installation. Waiting on custom heavy glass doors is usually the longest part because they cannot be measured and ordered until the tile is completely finished.
They are a known defect from the 80s and 90s that become brittle and crack without warning causing massive water damage. If we find them in your walls during demo we highly recommend replacing those specific lines with modern PEX tubing while the walls are already open.
Yes all the time. We lay down an electric radiant heat mat under the floor tile and wire it to a dedicated programmable thermostat. It requires a dedicated 20 amp circuit run back to your electrical panel which we handle with our licensed electricians.
A standard bathroom often ranges from $32,000 to $65,000. Primary bathrooms with custom tile, glass, heated floors and upgraded plumbing commonly run $65,000 to $120,000+.
Rotten subfloors, old pipes, weak ventilation, shower pan failure, electrical upgrades, framing repairs and waterproofing corrections can all raise the budget after demolition.
Bellevue homeowners usually start with a visible goal: a better room, a safer system, a cleaner exterior, or a project that finally feels finished. For RENOVA, the first step is more specific. We identify the constraints that can change cost, schedule and quality before the project becomes expensive to revise. On a bathroom remodeling project, that means looking at waterproofing, ventilation, plumbing, electrical protection, tile layout and fixture access. It also means being honest about subfloor rot, weak fans, shower pan details, pipe age and inspection timing.
Some jobs are straightforward. Others are shaped by Eastside labor costs, HOA expectations, condo logistics, sloped lots, tree cover, wet winters, selected finishes and strict review around structural or exterior changes. That is why a page like this should not read like a generic national remodeling article. A house in Lake Hills, Somerset, Newport, Bridle Trails, Bel-Red, West Bellevue, Downtown Bellevue, Lake Washington, I-405 corridors and the broader Eastside can have a completely different set of risks, access problems and permit questions, even when the service name is the same.

The code path is not the same for every project. Depending on scope, Bellevue work may involve Washington State Energy Code, Bellevue Development Services review, MyBuildingPermit submissions, trade permits, structural engineering, egress rules, drainage concerns and HOA or condo design rules when they apply. We use careful language because permit requirements depend on what is actually changing. Moving utilities, altering structure, enlarging openings, changing exterior assemblies, adding living space, modifying ventilation or touching life-safety details can all change the review path. We verify those questions before demolition, ordering or rough-in instead of treating permits as an afterthought.

If you are on local Reddit threads you have probably seen people venting about $60,000 quotes for a master bathroom. The reality is bathroom pricing varies wildly based on what is hiding in the walls. Here is what actually drives your budget in a Bellevue home: * The Polybutylene Problem: If your home was built in the 80s or 90s in neighborhoods like Lakemont or Somerset there is a high chance you have polybutylene pipes. Replacing these to meet current Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) is mandatory if we open the walls * The Jetted Tub Graveyard: Tearing out those massive tiled in corner tubs to build a custom walk in shower requires completely moving the drain and pouring a new shower pan which requires specific Bellevue plumbing inspections * Waterproofing Systems: Low-cost contractors use basic cement board and roll on waterproofing. We use selected integrated systems like Schluter Kerdi to guarantee it never rots. It costs a bit more upfront but saves you from a $20k water damage claim later * Custom Glass & Tile: Frameless heavy glass enclosures and large format porcelain tiles require highly specialized labor. But because we give you our 40 percent discount at specialized local suppliers you can afford the better materials ### 2026 Bellevue pricing reality Bellevue bathroom remodels in 2026 often range from $32,000 to $65,000 for a standard hall bath and $65,000 to $120,000 for a primary bathroom with custom tile, heated floors, better ventilation, glass, double vanity and upgraded fixtures.

The numbers are ranges, not promises. A real estimate depends on site access, hidden damage, material level, inspection requirements, labor intensity and whether the work touches structure, utilities or exterior envelope details. Low-cost bids usually remove something from that list. Sometimes that works for a tiny cosmetic job. It does not work when the hidden part of the project is the part that protects the home.

A common homeowner question is 'How much does a bathroom remodel actually cost in Bellevue'. The practical answer: It varies hugely. A basic hall bathroom update where we keep the plumbing in the same place might run 25k to 35k. But if you are ripping out a massive 90s jetted tub in a master bath to build a custom glass walk in shower with heated floors you are realistically looking at 45k to 65k plus depending on your tile choices. A common homeowner question is 'Do I need a permit just to replace my bathtub'. The practical answer: If you are literally just swapping a tub and not moving the drain or changing the valve you might not need a permit. But if we have to open the wall to install a new shower mixing valve Bellevue requires a plumbing permit and an inspection to make sure the water lines are pressurized safely. A common homeowner question is 'Why do you use specialized suppliers instead of just going to Home Depot'. The practical answer: Because the quality is completely different. The shower valves at places like Keller Supply have solid brass internal components whereas retail stores sell the same brand but with plastic internals to hit a lower price point. Plus we give you our contractor pricing support so you get the better stuff for less. A common homeowner question is 'Can I keep my existing bathroom vanity to save money'. The practical answer: Absolutely. If the cabinet boxes are in good shape and not water damaged we can easily save them. We can just install a new quartz countertop from Pental Surfaces and put in under mount sinks to give it a completely modern look without buying a whole new cabinet. A common homeowner question is 'How long will my only master bathroom be out of commission'. The practical answer: A full gut master bathroom usually takes about 3 to 5 weeks from demo to the final glass installation. Waiting on custom heavy glass doors is usually the longest part because they cannot be measured and ordered until the tile is completely finished. A common homeowner question is 'What is wrong with polybutylene pipes'.

We connect design decisions to construction consequences early. If a choice affects budget, permit review, lead time, maintenance, warranty risk or daily use, it belongs in the conversation before work starts. That is the difference between a project that only photographs well and a project that still makes sense years later.
A strong bathroom remodeling page should help a homeowner decide what to ask next. If the only takeaway is a sales pitch, it failed. The useful takeaway is knowing what drives the price, what can go wrong, what rules may apply and what choices actually improve the home.
RENOVA Contractors LLC handles bathroom remodeling with a bias toward clear scope, real pricing conversations, code-aware planning and durable installation. The goal is not to make the project sound easy. The goal is to make it predictable enough that the finished work feels calm, useful and worth the money.
