Home/Resources/Bathroom Remodeling Cost Guide: Nassau County, Queens, and Brooklyn

Bathroom remodeling costs in Nassau County, Queens, and Brooklyn range from $4,500 for a basic tub-to-shower conversion to $50,000 or more for a luxury master bathroom gut renovation. This guide provides detailed, current price ranges for every type of bathroom renovation project, based on General Modernizer's actual project data from 500+ completed renovations in the New York metropolitan area.

Basic Bathroom Update: $5,000 to $10,000

A basic bathroom update replaces cosmetic elements without moving plumbing or electrical. This scope typically includes new floor tile, new wall tile in the tub or shower surround, a new vanity with sink and faucet, a new toilet, updated lighting, and a new mirror. Labor accounts for approximately 40 to 50 percent of the total cost. A basic update is appropriate when the existing layout is functional and the plumbing and electrical are in good condition. General Modernizer completes basic bathroom updates in Nassau County in 5 to 7 days.

Mid-Range Full Bathroom Renovation: $10,000 to $25,000

A mid-range full bathroom renovation includes everything in a basic update plus a new custom tile shower (replacing the tub-shower combination), a frameless glass shower enclosure, a vanity with a quartz or marble countertop, updated exhaust fan, and potentially a new layout if plumbing is being relocated. This is the most common project scope for Nassau County homeowners renovating a standard 5x8 or 5x10 bathroom. General Modernizer completes mid-range renovations in 10 to 14 days. Permits are typically required for this scope of work.

Premium Master Bathroom Renovation: $25,000 to $50,000

A premium master bathroom renovation involves a larger footprint (typically 80 to 150 square feet), high-end materials including natural stone tile or large-format porcelain, a freestanding soaking tub, a large walk-in shower with multiple showerheads, custom cabinetry, heated floors, and designer fixtures. Nassau County homeowners in Garden City, Great Neck, Manhasset, and Roslyn typically invest in this tier. General Modernizer completes premium master bathroom renovations in 14 to 21 days.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion: $4,500 to $14,000

A tub-to-shower conversion removes the existing bathtub and converts the space to a walk-in shower. The cost range reflects the difference between a basic conversion with a prefabricated shower pan and standard tile ($4,500 to $7,000) and a fully custom conversion with a mud-bed floor, linear drain, large-format tile, and frameless glass enclosure ($9,000 to $14,000). This is the most popular project type for Nassau County homeowners over 50 who no longer use the bathtub and want a safer, more accessible shower.

Aging-in-Place Safety Renovation: $3,500 to $12,000

An aging-in-place safety renovation focuses on accessibility modifications: grab bars anchored to structural blocking, a curbless walk-in shower with a linear drain, non-slip porcelain tile with a DCOF rating of 0.42 or higher, a comfort-height toilet at 17 to 19 inches, and a handheld showerhead on a slide bar. The cost range reflects the scope of work -- a grab bar installation with minor modifications runs $3,500 to $6,000, while a full curbless shower conversion with all safety features runs $8,000 to $12,000. General Modernizer is a specialist in aging-in-place bathroom renovations throughout Nassau County, Queens, and Brooklyn.

What Drives Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Nassau County

The four primary cost drivers in any Nassau County bathroom renovation are: (1) Labor -- skilled tile setters, plumbers, and electricians in Nassau County command $85 to $150 per hour, and labor typically represents 40 to 50 percent of total project cost. (2) Materials -- tile selection alone can range from $3 per square foot for basic ceramic to $50 per square foot or more for premium natural stone. (3) Scope of plumbing and electrical work -- any relocation of drain lines, supply lines, or electrical circuits adds significant cost. (4) Bathroom size -- a 5x8 bathroom costs significantly less than a 10x12 master bathroom even with identical materials.
