Bathroom Remodel ROI: How Upgrading Your Bath Increases Home Value

Hi, I am Sam Spires, the General Manager here at Bath Experts Ohio.

At Bath Experts, we understand that a bathroom remodel is a significant investment. That is why we are committed to giving you the best product, the best installation experience, and the best long term value we can offer. As the exclusive Jacuzzi Bath Remodel dealer in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky, our goal is simple. We transform an outdated, worn out tub or shower into a space that elevates your daily routine.

Now, if you are like most homeowners, making a large investment such as a tub to shower conversion or a full bathroom upgrade can feel overwhelming. But a remodel is not just an expense. It can also deliver a strong return on investment when it is time to sell.

So how can a bathroom renovation impact your home resale value?

A home return on investment is typically measured by comparing the cost of the remodel to the increase in property value. And while every home and every buyer is different, some clear trends exist. Remodeling Magazine reports that the average bathroom remodel costs about $18,000 and produces a return of about 66%. In other words, a project like that could add around $12,000 in resale value to your home.

What influences that return on investment?

Your materials and design choices matter. Using durable and budget friendly materials such as acrylic can help maximize your return. Simple updates such as new hardware, fresh paint, and updated fixtures can create a big impact without the need for major renovation. Even small upgrades such as converting a tub into a walk in shower can improve value because they do not require changes to the layout or plumbing.

And what about the types of return that you do not see on a spreadsheet?

Sometimes your current bathroom is actually reducing your home value. Mold, safety concerns, worn surfaces, and outdated features can all drive the price down when you go to sell.

But there is another return that is every bit as important. It is the value of enjoying your home every day. We hear from many homeowners, including people who were thinking about moving, who say that after they updated their bathroom, they enjoyed their home much more. When you think about how often you use your bathroom compared to spaces such as a finished basement that you might enjoy only on the weekend, it makes sense. A fresh and safe and beautiful bathroom improves your daily life in a meaningful way.

If you are considering a remodel or simply want to explore your options, we are here to help. At Bath Experts, our focus is on providing real value for your home and for your day to day life.
