[quote=Anonymous]We have two full bathrooms in the upstairs that are in need of redoing, top to bottom. They're original from 1981, but the previous owner did not take care of this place at all. Most of this house has been a fixer upper, and we've slowly been fixing small things here and there over that last three years (paint, new flooring in areas). As much as we can DIY or get handyman to assist with as we can.

But bathrooms are a big item and we have no idea how much to set aside. We have a smaller full bathroom, with a toilet and sink across from a built-in tub with sliding doors. Our master bath is bigger, but weird - a huge sink and counter, a toilet, and this itsy-bitsy shower carved into the side of a wall that my husband cannot fit in.

We wanna do what we call the "guest" bathroom first - we use this mostly anyway since the other shower is small, and we're adopting in the next year, so this'll also be the kids room.

It needs everything from new tile, to a new tub, a new toilet, new sink, etc. Possibly some flooring fixing because there is lots of water damage. No clue how much to budget, and I hate to go into a show room to get an estimate because pushy salesman really bother us. We don't need a "designer" bathroom - something that looks classic, clean, functional is all we need.

What are we looking at for one bathroom that doesn't need a redesign so much as a redo? 10k? 15k? We live just north of Wheaton.[/quote]
