How much does a bathroom remodel cost in 2026 Chicago?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Guest-bath refresh (new tile, vanity, fixtures, retain plumbing rough): $22K-$45K. Primary spa bath with walk-in shower, double vanity, reconfigured plumbing, and proper waterproofing to Chicago code: $55K-$120K. Condo alteration in a North Side high-rise tends to carry 15-25% premium over single-family bands due to building protection and elevator logistics.
