How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Everett and Snohomish County?

The Everett bathroom we see most is original: a 1960s to 1980s rambler or split-level, a one-piece fiberglass tub surround, a 30-inch vanity, a fan that vents into the attic, and forty years of water working behind the caulk. Remodeling it is our most common job after kitchens, and the numbers are well-worn.

In 2026, expect $8,000 to $15,000 for a cosmetic update, $22,000 to $38,000 for a full hall bath in the same layout, and $45,000 to $70,000 for a primary suite. That sits 10 to 20 percent below our Seattle and Eastside bathroom numbers for the same scope, and well below Bellevue.

The three tiers in Snohomish County

• Cosmetic ($8k–$15k). Layout and tub stay. New vanity, faucet, toilet, lighting, mirror, a ducted fan, floor tile and paint. Refinishing a sound tub instead of replacing it keeps this tier honest.
• Full hall bath ($22k–$38k). Down to the studs. The fiberglass comes out, the wall behind it gets fixed, a real waterproofing membrane goes on, then tile, a new valve, a new vanity circuit and glass. Our small bathroom cost guide breaks down why a 5-by-8 room costs what it does.
• Primary suite ($45k–$70k). Double vanity, a walk-in shower where the tub was, often borrowing a closet for room. Moved drains, a permit, custom glass and heated floors are what push it toward the top.

What the local houses add

• Behind the surround ($800–$3,000). A one-piece fiberglass unit hides water damage until it comes out. Soft drywall, a rotten bottom plate, sometimes the subfloor at the tub apron. We carry a line for it and open the wall on day one.
• The fan ($300–$900). Half the original fans in Everett ramblers dump into the attic or a soffit. A proper ducted run to the outside is cheap now and stops the mold that shows up two winters later.
• The subfloor at the toilet ($300–$1,200). A wax ring that failed in 1995 leaves soft plywood around the flange. A per-sheet price on the bid beats a change order.
• Split-level plumbing. Upper-level baths over a garage or lower family room are easy to reach from below, which is one reason Everett bathrooms come in under Seattle’s plaster-walled ones.

Tub, shower, or both

Converting the hall bath tub to a walk-in shower is the most common request we get; our tub-to-shower conversion guide has the three price points. Keep a tub somewhere in the house if you have young kids or plan to sell to a family. If you are planning to stay, build in blocking and a low or curbless entry now; the accessible bathroom guide shows what each detail adds.

Permits and schedule

City of Everett Permit Services and Snohomish County PDS turn around a bathroom permit in weeks, not months. Our permit guide covers what triggers one. Construction is three to four weeks for a hall bath and four to six for a primary suite, plus two to three weeks for custom glass measured after tile; the bathroom timeline shows the sequence.
