Bathrooms are the most remodeled room in America — and the room where bad budgeting hurts most, because water punishes shortcuts. Here's how bathroom costs actually break down in Reno, from the contractor that's been building them since 1959.
2026 Reno bathroom ranges
- Tub-to-shower conversion: roughly $12,000–$25,000
- Hall bath remodel: roughly $18,000–$40,000
- Master bath remodel: roughly $35,000–$80,000+ depending on tile scope and fixtures
The three numbers that matter
Tile scope
Tile is labor. A tub surround is one number; floor-to-ceiling walls, a mud-set pan, and a niche-and-bench shower is another. Large-format tile looks incredible and demands flatter walls — prep time you'll never see but will always feel.
Plumbing moves
Keep fixtures where they are and the budget smiles. Move the drain, and concrete or framing opens up. Because our plumbers are in-house (NV C-1 #0073434), Banner quotes moves accurately instead of padding for the unknown.
Waterproofing — the invisible line item
Modern membrane systems cost more than the old mud-and-paper methods and are worth every dollar. A leaking shower is the most expensive bathroom you can buy. This is the line item we will never value-engineer.
What adds surprising value
- Heated tile floors — small cost during a remodel, daily luxury after
- Curbless entries — high-end look today, accessibility forever
- Comfort-height vanities and quality valves
- Ventilation sized for Nevada's dry-then-steamy swings
