  • Framing, if needed, takes about a day
  • Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and insulation takes about 2 to 3 days
  • Inspections last about two days

  • Tiling goes on for 5 to 8 days
  • Trim, vanities, and countertops take one to two days
  • Fixtures take about 2 days
  • Painting goes on for 2 to 3 days

Size is one of the biggest factors for how long a bathroom remodel can take. Bigger bathrooms take more time, labor, and materials to finish. Smaller bathrooms are cramped so only so many people can work at once, which can slow down the speed.

Materials are big too. Ones that are harder to find or more expensive can take longer to get a hold of. Change-orders for materials will lengthen the timeline.

Then there’s complexity. How much you want to change or add can affect how long remodeling your bathroom can take.

Any damages found need repairing. Left alone the problem will only get worse and cost more to fix. Expect to have damages that need repairing.
