What's in the number
Line items for a standard, mid-grade bathroom scope in the reference home (totals cover every room that carries the item).
| # | Line item | Budget | Typical | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bathroom tile (floor) (×2) | $900 | $1,600 | $2,800 |
| 2 | Bathroom painting (×2) | $800 | $1,200 | $1,800 |
| 3 | Bathroom fixtures (towel bars, TP holder, mirror) (×2) | $440 | $900 | $1,800 |
What drives the range
Bathrooms work is a moderate slice of a full rehab — roughly 8% of a whole-house budget. The high end runs about 3.0× the budget end: finish level and how much you replace (versus repair) move this category more than square footage does. Labor is roughly half the cost, so Connecticut wage levels are baked into every line.
