Not all bathroom renovations are created equal. Some designs are budget-friendly, and others spare no expense to make you feel like you’re stepping into a luxurious spa. The big question for Edmonton homeowners is which renovation option is the best long-term value.
At Peak Improvements, we’ll help you find the right balance between saving your money and creating a space that truly works for you. In this post, we’re comparing budget-friendly and luxury options to help you make the most of your bathroom renovation without any surprises.
What is a “Budget” Bathroom Renovation?
Budget-friendly bathroom renovations don’t mean “cheap” or that you’ll lose the ability to customize. The cost of these renovations typically ranges from $10,000 to $20,000, depending on what needs to be done. This range is great for homeowners looking for functional upgrades with a short turnaround. The typical feature updates that help to keep the cost down are:
- Maintaining the existing layout
- Partial changes
- Standard tile and finishes
- Tub/Shower combos
- Prefab vanities and fixtures
These upgrades will add value to your space and are best for a powder room or smaller bathrooms. When you work with Peak Improvements, we use smart, stylish designs while keeping the cost of your bathroom renovation within budget.
What is a “Luxury” Bathroom Renovation?
The cost of a high-end bathroom renovation ranges from $ 30,000 to $50,000. You can achieve luxury on a lower budget, but the common features that will increase the price are:
- Bathroom expansion or reconfiguration
- Custom walk-in showers, niches and frameless designs
- Heated floors, integrated lighting fixtures, smart mirrors
- Freestanding tubs, floating vanities, large format tiles
- Custom layouts and cabinetry
These bathroom renovations can offer long-term value, added comfort, and increased resale value for your home. However, they require a lot of time and planning ahead. Our design team is ready to help you plan the luxurious bathroom of your dreams.
Where You Can Save, And Where You Shouldn’t Cut Corners
Renovating your bathroom on a budget doesn’t mean low-quality features or cutting corners to stay within your budget. Here’s a list of areas in your renovations to save some money, and others that we recommend you invest more of your budget in.

- Tile layouts and sizes
- Pre-Finished Vanities (or blended custom ones)

Don’t Overlook These Bathroom Renovation Costs
The cost of a bathroom renovation in Edmonton will vary depending on your wants and needs. However, certain standards are non-negotiable for safety and structural longevity.
