Remodel vs. addition

Remodelling an existing bathroom typically recoups around 74% of its cost — a solid, broadly appealing update. Adding a brand-new bathroom recoups closer to 50%, because you pay full price for square footage you only partly recover.

Switch the project and finish level in the calculator to compare a remodel against an addition for your market.

Where bathrooms pay back

Buyers reward clean, updated, move-in-ready bathrooms. Midrange finishes recoup a higher share than upscale ones, so align the spec with your neighbourhood to protect the return.
