Bathroom Remodel Cost Guide for Greater Jacksonville Homeowners

Typical Greater Jacksonville price ranges by project type

These are reference ranges for professionally installed, permitted projects from full-service Northeast Florida remodelers. Actual quotes depend on the existing bathroom, materials, plumbing layout, and overhead. Older Riverside, Avondale, Springfield, Murray Hill, and historic St. Augustine stock often lands at the higher end of each range.

• Tub-to-shower conversion (existing footprint, acrylic): $7,500 – $14,500
• Walk-in shower replacement (acrylic, semi-custom): $9,500 – $17,500
• Walk-in shower (tile build-out, custom): $14,500 – $28,000
• Full bathroom remodel (layout unchanged): $12,500 – $24,000
• Full gut remodel (plumbing relocation, new layout): $20,000 – $42,000+
• Accessibility-focused conversion: $8,500 – $24,000 depending on features

What drives the cost up or down in Northeast Florida

Demo scope matters most. A clean swap inside a 1990s–2010s Mandarin, Nocatee, Fleming Island, or Oakleaf framed alcove is the most predictable scope in the region. A Riverside bungalow, Springfield historic single, San Marco 1920s home, or downtown St. Augustine property with plaster, original cast-iron drains, and prior water damage can add $2,500–$5,500 before the shower system goes in.

Tile is the other big swing. Acrylic systems install in 1–3 days; tile runs 1–3 weeks because waterproofing, mortar, and grout each need dry time. Higher-finish neighborhoods like Ponte Vedra Beach, Sawgrass, San Marco, Avondale, and waterfront Amelia Island more often go tile.

• Scope of demo: surface vs. down-to-studs
• Shower system: acrylic insert vs. semi-custom acrylic vs. tile
• Plumbing: stay in place vs. move drains/supply lines
• Subfloor condition (Florida humidity and prior leaks often require repair)
• Vent fan rework, undersized or missing fans are common in older Florida stock
• Coastal salt-air material choices in beach areas
• HOA approvals in master-planned communities (Nocatee, Sawgrass, Bartram Park)
• Historic-district review in downtown St. Augustine and Fernandina Beach
• FL permit and disposal fees (vary by city/county)
