Bathroom reno?

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for. We are buying a house and are considering updating the bath on the main floor. Its very standard - vanity with one sink, toilet and shower/tub. There is tile on the 3 walls around the tub to the ceiling, but the rest of the walls are just painted. We would keep everything pretty much the same, just update it - new vanity, new tub and tile (just in the shower area), new toilet and I guess new tile floor. Can anyone give me an estimate on what I should budget for this?

I really appreciate your help.

Thank you. I was thinking it would be around that amount.

It totally depends on the quality of the supplies and materials and whether you will do work yourself or have someone do it for you.

It was ~$7k for the work and an additional $3k for materials when we had our (7'x7') bathroom gutted.

Re: Bathroom reno?

the tiles around the tub will probably be destroyed very hard to remove the tub, without breaking

Thanks. I should have mentioned that we would not do the work ourselves but we would use very basic, stock materials. No fancy glass tiles or anything.
