The cheapest bathroom redos are usually renovations rather than full remodels. There are lots of ways to change the look of a bathroom without changing the footprint.
You can change the fixtures, walls, flooring, lighting, and accessories without moving anything. You can even make a small bathroom feel larger by adding a lighter paint color, a clear glass shower door, or a skylight to let in more natural light. If you absolutely have to add square footage to your bathroom or change the arrangement of fixtures, keep the changes to a minimum.

3 Do the Work Yourself
According to HomeAdvisor, roughly half the cost of bathroom remodeling is labor costs. Homeowners spend an average of $65 per hour paying contractors, including carpenters, plumbers, electricians, drywallers, and floor tilers.
Thus, the more of your bathroom remodel you can DIY instead of hiring a contractor, the more you can save. But DIY is only a money-saver if you have the necessary skills.

For instance, when we couldn’t find a stock vanity cabinet we liked, my husband built one from plywood and beadboard. A Texas homeowner profiled by This Old House made almost all the materials for his powder room renovation. He poured his own concrete countertops, built new doors and drawer fronts for the vanity, and even welded a new frame for the mirror.
Another couple in Missouri built their own cabinetry, made custom light fixtures, and enameled an old bathtub.

To stretch your dollars when renovating a bathroom, splurge on just one or two high-impact items, such as countertops or a clawfoot tub, and choose cheaper alternatives for everything else. There are cost-effective alternatives for nearly every part of a bathroom remodel.
Walls
Tile costs a lot more than paint or paneling.
To keep your costs down, limit your use of tile on the walls as much as possible. Use it only in areas that get wet regularly, such as the tub or shower enclosure.

And you can easily swap it out any time you want to change the look of the bathroom.
Tub and Shower Hardware
If you need to replace your bath or shower handles, spout, and showerhead, it’s probably cheapest to buy them as a set.
These sets, called trim kits, can cost as little as $100 to $200 each. However, if the handles are still in good shape, it could be cheaper to keep them and replace the showerhead only.
A good showerhead contributes a lot more to a satisfying shower than nice-looking handles. Many top-rated showerheads cost less than $50.

If you have a reuse center in your area, you can find everything you need for your bathroom remodeling project there, from tile to light fixtures. When we redid our bathroom, we hit the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and found Italian ceramic tile for under $3 per square foot and a cultured marble sink and vanity top for $30.eBay.
You can find nearly anything on eBay, including bath supplies. The Texas homeowner who redid a powder room for $705 bought a sink, faucet, and light fixtures from online auctions for $390 total. Just remember to factor in shipping costs when buying online, especially since bath items can be heavy.Craigslist.
Check the for-sale section of your local Craigslist site for bath bargains. A quick search of the listings on my local group turned up plumbing fixtures, countertops, cabinetry, light fixtures, and even a ventilation fan.Nextdoor. Nextdoor is a social media group designed to help neighbors connect.

8 Look for Bargains
If you can’t get all the materials for your bathroom secondhand, you can save by finding them on sale.
For instance, one couple from New York found a cast-iron bathtub on sale for $350. Most new cast-iron tubs cost $1,000 or more.
The holiday season is an excellent time to find remodeling materials on sale. According to CabinetNow, the best seasonal sales on cabinetry occur on Black Friday and in the weeks before Christmas. However, shopping sales isn’t the only way to find deals on new materials.

One of the best ways to find bargains is to shop around. Comparison-shopping websites and tools can help you find the best prices when shopping online.
Other money-saving browser extensions can help you find coupon codes to cut costs still more. Also, don’t overlook discount sites like Overstock.com. This site offers everything you need for a bathroom renovation, from tubs to tile, at prices well below retail.
If you find reasonable prices for several products in one store, but its prices on other things you need are higher, find out if the store offers a price-match guarantee. If it does, you could get the best prices on everything you need at once without having to visit multiple stores. Finally, if you buy a lot of materials from one place, ask about volume discounts.
