Is it possible to renovate a 6 by 8 bathroom for $12,000?
Someone from New York Kitchen & Bathroom (NYKB) just told me that I will be “miserable” and “Good Luck!” when I told him my budget was $12,000 for a small bathroom reno. Is this budget so low it warrants being treated like such a worthless pauper by these companies? What I need to have done…

What I need to have done is:
1. Redo the ceiling and install overhead lighting
2. Replace iron tub
3. Replace tile on walls and floor
4. Install new vanity
5. Install 3 feet of cabinetry
6. Install a new radiator cover
I’ve already called a few contractors I have found here on this forum. But so far, no one has called me back. Can you give me some good opinions on whether I will be able to do this within a budget? Also, can you give me some more recommendations for contractors?
LMAO! Listen, I’ll tell you something about NYKB: They’re CROOKS. They ruined my apt and walked off my job and kept my money (which they DIDN’T–contrary to state LAW–place in escrow). Oh, and my bathroom? They messed up the tiling so badly that it ALL had to be ripped out and redone by another company. So I paid twice. Be thankful those SOBs treated you like a “pauper” and sneered at your budget. If they come back to you wanting your business, take it from me: Say “no way” and hang up. If you don’t you’ll regret it for months (or, like me, for years).
Call my Contractor, they were even placed in a magazine and there work was on TV twice.

I’m late here, but in case you are still checking in, I redid my 5×7 three years ago for $8400, replaced everything except the tub–undermount ceramic sink, vanity, toilet, silestone extended countertop, kohler faucets in tub and sink. I didn’t go over the top (except with the $800 toilet, don’t ask).. Picked black and white ceramic tile and did not tile walls, decided expense wasn’t worth it, I’d rather paint. Very happy with results. Used Cambria Remodeling, nice to deal with, cleaned up well, came in on schedule.

I just wanted to shout out a huge thank you to everyone who responded to my post here. You’ve given me lots of great ideas and I feel encouraged again that this can be done.
Thanks again.
I am interested in taking a look at this project for pricing. Please contact me at (917) 573-3304. Below are pictures of a similar in size bathroom renovation in progress in SOHO, for under $12,000 all new walls, ceilings, tiles, floors, if interested you can call me at the above number or email me for updated photos @ acrcontracting@optonline.net.

Hello there,
I just had my bathroom redone. Taking out the extensive plumbing work I had to install, I was able to easily do this under $12K. Contact LBK Contracting and ask for Larry. I swear he is the easiest guy to work with, incredibly reliable and they do a great job.
His number is 917-531-4947. Tell him that Faye recommended him.
we can handle your budget sensative job. alot of it depends on the amount of money you want to spend on your tile/vanity/fixtures ect.
give us a call for a free estimate, and check out our website.

You can absolutely do this yourself. Just have to get the materials yourself. Check at home depot,lowes,weismans on mcdonalds ave,bergen tiles on flatbush ave and certified lumber in williamsburg for sheetrock,wood , etc. Good luck.
We totally gutted and rebuilt a bathroom from scratch (converted half to full). The total job, including our contractor, designer (who admittedly was very inexpensive since she was new) and materials, was only about 12K. We used pretty nice materials – not top of line, but not home depot/lowe’s either. Granted, it was a small space, and the contractor was cheaper than many others – but it turned out beautifully!
