How much does a bathroom remodel cost in 2026 Miami?

Miami bathroom remodel pricing in 2026 sits in two durable bands plus a third for full primary-suite reconfigurations. Florida Building Code Plumbing 7th Edition (2023) Section 405 (vent and fixture locations) and Section 411 (showers) drive most of the cost variance once you cross from cosmetic into rough-trade work.

Guest bath / hall bath refresh ($25,000-$45,000): same fixture locations, new vanity, mirror, lighting, tile floor and tub-shower wet wall, replacement of toilet and tub or freestanding shower pan. Permits limited to plumbing fixture and electrical (GFCI/AFCI) trade permits.

Primary spa bath ($55,000-$120,000): walk-in curbless shower with linear drain (FBC 411.5 slope and waterproofing), double vanity, freestanding tub on a re-leveled slab, relocated water-closet, full-height stone or large-format porcelain, niche heaters, in-floor electric heat (NEC 424 Part IX), and integrated steam unit. Structural plumbing relocation requires sealed plumbing engineer drawings in many condos.

Miami-specific surcharges that materially move price:

• SB 4-D and 40-year recertification buildings: pressure testing of altered branches, plus inspection-coordination and association engineer review fees of $1,500-$5,000.
• HVHZ impact-window inclusion on primary suites is a common attached scope item — $6,000-$22,000 per primary suite depending on opening size and FBC Section 1626 NOA-rated assembly.
• Salt-air-rated trim packages (PVD finishes, brass with marine clear-coat): $800-$2,500 per primary suite over standard chrome.
• Mold remediation under Florida Statutes Section 468.84 (Mold-Related Services Licensing): $3,000-$25,000 if moisture intrusion is found behind tub surrounds.
• Condo logistics: protected elevator usage, water shutdown coordination with the association engineer, off-hour work windows in towers along Brickell Avenue and Collins Avenue.

Always pull mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trade permits separately at Miami-Dade RER; the MEP permit clerks will not accept a combined cosmetic-only application once a fixture moves more than 24 inches under FBC Plumbing 405.4.
