A bathroom remodel in Gloucester usually runs from about $12,000 to $25,000 for a standard full remodel, and $25,000 to $45,000 or more for a large or high-end bathroom. The final number depends on the scope, not a flat price.

• The size of the room and any change to the layout.
• The grade of tile, vanity, fixtures and lighting.
• The age of the home and what is hidden in the walls and floor.
• The amount of waterproofing, ventilation and carpentry needed.

Because 18th- and 19th-century maritime homes and waterfront residences across its Cape Ann villages often add layout and access constraints in Gloucester, hidden conditions behind the walls are priced honestly at the walkthrough, not discovered mid-project.

Humidity, hard water and cold Essex County winters mean the bathroom finish is picked to last, not just to look good.

• Waterproofing membranes and correct sloping so water goes where it should.
• Durable porcelain tile, quality grout and sealed transitions.
• An exhaust fan that actually moves the air, not just spins.
• Vanities, hardware and paint rated for a wet, humid room.

Skipping waterproofing is the most expensive mistake a Gloucester homeowner can make, and it only shows up after the tile looks finished. We use bonded membranes, backer board and properly sloped pans so water drains instead of soaking into the structure.

Because winters here keep bathrooms closed and steamy, we size and duct the exhaust fan to actually clear the humidity, venting it straight outside your Essex County home rather than dumping it into an attic where it causes hidden damage.
