S@H: So how much should a full bathroom renovation cost?
MH: An average bathroom renovation -- including a new tub, toilet, sink, tiles, flooring and lighting -- should cost $6,000 to $10,000. Now, if you want to use more expensive materials -- limestone tiles and a soaking tub, for example -- or if your bathroom is larger than the average 40 square feet, you'll probably go over that.
S@H: What sort of money would it take to do a minor facelift?
MH: You can make dramatic changes in the appearance of the bathroom just by installing a new sink, faucets and flooring. But again, you have to be aware that while installing those you may unearth bigger problems. In many cases, I find rotting drywall behind an old sink, and you don't want to cover that up without correcting it. If you do, you're just looking for trouble.
