How Much Does a 5x10 Bathroom Remodel Cost?

A 5x10 bathroom remodel costs $8,000–$22,000 for a full renovation. At 50 square feet, this is the most common bathroom size in American homes built between 1950–1990. The layout typically fits a standard 5-foot tub, toilet, and single vanity with mirror.

The 5x10 size works in your favor for cost: tile is the biggest per-square-foot expense, and at 50 sq ft you need roughly 200 sq ft of tile (walls + floor) vs. 350+ sq ft for a large master bath. Material costs for a 5x10 run $3,000–$7,000 vs. $6,000–$14,000 for a 100+ sq ft master.

The national average for a full bathroom remodel is $17,954, but that includes all sizes. A 5x10 runs 30–50% below that average because of the smaller footprint. Use our calculator to see the exact cost in your city.
