The giant shower, by itself, will consume half that budget.

I see you have shown 2 drains in the shower area? It seems like the shower is so large - can you rethink it so you can have your makeup area? Are the windows operational? You can carry a counter across ?

That is a single A ballpark you were given, not a triple A with marble. It certainly is not a major league ball park. I have done cultured marble master baths that cost that much, but not good quality marble. Marble costs more to buy, and is more in labor to set. Thats the first thing to get rid of when you are on a limited budget.

Once the actual specifics get nailed down, if they don't include all of the above list, start adding the thousands to that price. I'd add 10K to that 35K, right now, just because you want all of that rearranging, and they are lowballing you up front, as sales people do so that you will fall in love with individual items and not realize the grand total until it's all added up. Then they'll offer you financing for that extra 20K above your planned budget. Only they'll call it an "investment amount per month" and avoid giving you that grand total.

Find out what waterproofing system stem is being used. If there is a long pause, or they say a vinyl liner, you're dealing with people who can not give you the bath that you want. There are hundreds of posts on here where the waterproofing is done incorrectly. Don't be one of them. Do your research. Don't assume that they will do it correctly, even if they name a good brand. Odds aren't good for that.

Cultured marble is a good budget product for shower walls and for vanity tops. It's much less fussy than natural stone. There are a lot of marble looks in it. A lower priced cabinet line like Waypoint can give you 80% of what you want. Not those curved glass doors though. Those are only found on more expensive cabinet lines. Choose chrome for your fixture finishes. It's thousands cheaper when you are doing a whole bath. Skip the rain heads and body spray, but go put in a hand shower on a bar. A good contrasting porcelain in wood look or medium to dark gray for the bath floor, and a mosaic for the shower floor, will set off the marble pattern. Go for the comfort height elongated toilet.

The simpler and more classic in the finishes that you can keep it, the more longevity it will have. And the less expensive it will be.

I would also suggest looking into porcelain tiles and maybe a shower base instead of tiling a base - these can be great cost savings and still give you a beautiful bath.

Assuming the dimensions are close - I threw together a quick bathroom look... This estimates about 75" from the closet wall to the left side of the window. This also assumes tearing out the entire shower benches and all and doing a new 60 x 42 shower...I did not do a double sink - it looked to crowded if you want a tower or 2....

Hopefully this can get your thoughts going!

Good luck to you!

If you do a shower 60 inches long by 36 inches deep, you should be able to fit a 12 inch deep tall cabinet next to the shower. Maybe 18 inches wide.

I am using the same Kitchen and Bath Designer that I used with my kitchen to plan my Master Bath. Like you, I have a low window with a monster ugly green "marble" tub in front of it with a single vanity with more ugly green fake marble. I wanted a bigger shower, more storage, and a double vanity, Maybe no tub, or maybe a claw foot tub. That's where I started.

Unfortunately, I am on a slab, and to move plumbing costs a lot. I didn't realize how much! My designer warned me, and I don't know why I didn't believe her. I had probably been watching too many makeover shows! LOL! My first quote was almost 60K.

We are dialing back now, and are probably going to keep the plumbing positions and windows. Finding matching brick and all of the work to replace the windows just wasn't worth it. Cutting into the slab to move plumbing wasn't worth it either. Not for a not expensive priced house.

What is is worth spending money on to me is getting a curbless shower, and making the vanity have more storage, even if I don't get a second sink. I think we decided to just not put in a tub at all, and do a free standing furniture makeup vanity there. I will pick up something with character from a local antique store. The window is stained glass, so it won't block the view. I like oak vintage pieces, and it will be lots cheaper. I might even do that for the vanity, but I don't think I'll get as much storage as I want.

There are still a lot more decisions ahead, but I'm not going to go into debt just to get a magazine bathroom. I don't live in a magazine or need to "update" every 10 years when all of that white marble is "out". This is the only time I will do this. I want to be carried out of this house.

What does the GC say about that 35K estimate? As for your makeup being stored in drawers below your waist, it's just a matter of habit. You can get used it and it makes sense if you're seated at a vanity. You can get pretty containers for your countertops. Perhaps you've already done this but paring down your makeup to daily essentials and storing the rest elsewhere makes sense. Only you can determine if makeup storage is worth 10K.

Your salesperson is lowballing you. Significantly. The labor likely is not included in that number. Only the materials that she would sell you. The 2019 industry numbers were just released. They do not come close to aligning with that guesstimate.

The software that Debbi is using costs 3K, and needs a super gaming type computer to run it. Another 2-3K. Plus annual maintenance fees. And 12 months of practice to get really good at it. Plus the cooperation of manufacturers to make available their products to insert. Which is why you work with a Pro that already owns it, and who has the experience to help you with your decisions and their consequences.

Why do you want to make a window smaller? I would avoid any structural changes to keep my costs as low as possible.

I'm late to this thread, but I wanted to chime in that whether you do a tower or medicine cabinets I recommend that you install electrical inside so that you can charge your toothbrushes in there. It helps to keep the counters less cluttered.

We also enter the master closet by going through the bathroom. I can understand why some people might not like that, but it works for us. We use the exhaust fan so no moisture problems. We get ready for work at different times, so having the closet positioned a bit away from the bedroom helps to not wake up the person still sleeping when one is getting dressed. In fact, I just realized that all my siblings and my parents have the same arrangement. Maybe it's just common in our area.

I would like to confirm a dimension.... the 113" from the closet - is that to the left of the window? or to the wall? It makes a big difference in what everyone is suggesting... the picture I did had it as the whole wall INCLUDING the window. That leaves a 75" wall space for the vanity. A typical double vanity is 60" ( 24sinkbase - 12" drawers - 24 " sink base) . When you go wider, you typically add some dimension to the sin base ( so the person next to the wall ha a bit more elbow room) and the rest into the drawer base. So in the case of 75" space I would suggest 27 - 21 - 27 if you want to put a center tower 15" wide ( I probably would not do a full 12" deep tower - maybe 9" or less ).

You mention closing up the window - what is the outside of the house- siding stucco?? how easy is it to patch that?

Personally - I would run the counter right across the window - keeping the natural light and hang a mirror "on it"

As far as the cost of this renovation, it's hard to say - it will vary by where in the country you live and by the materials you purchase. You can make this a beautiful bathroom without having to by expensive marble or cabinetry. The countertop can be a remnant from your local stone yard. Delta makes really nice faucets that won't break the bank. Be sure to explore what's out there. Buy the best you can that fits your budget and don't let people shame you into spending more than you can. DO your research so you are making informed decisions.

Your designer should be using a program like mine ( 2020 design ) if she/he does kitchens and baths.

Good luck!

Yes so you would have to close the window to fit the drawing you had made with 3 sets of drawer bases and 2 sinks - that would require about 84" of space assuming a 12-24-12-24-12 cabinets size. That would leave you about 28" of space for a makeup area at the end

I think this is the view you wanted...

This is a simple table that you would stand in front of the window area. It's not built in. The style of the piece is covering the window trim, but you can see the window on the side. Think of it like a desk in front of the window..

You don't have room for a double sink without going well outside your budget. And you are already over budget as is. Also, code requires a 15" center to any side obstruction, and 30" minimum between centers.

The above piece is assuming you are closing the window?? Does that piece come with additional drawer bases? A setup like that done through a cabinet manufacturer would probably run about $8000 or more for the cabinets roughly. You may also be able to do a tall 12" deep piece next to the other window between it and the shower glass... although that is really where there should be towel bars. Or someone else had suggested a pony wall at the end of the shower and a lower cabinet there when you come in the door it would be immediately on your right.

Here is the floor plan I have in the computer for your space... if these dimensions are correct then you can't do a neoangle shower like what you posted...no enough room to do a nice sized one.

Are you working with someone who has a design program? They really should be doing all of this for you to see...

You could use Debbie's computer generated plan, but instead of the single sink and the two towers, use double sinks with two recessed medicine cabinets for storage. Leave the windows as is and have a built in bench with drawers placed under the windows. It's good to have a place to sit for dressing and grooming feet and legs. IMO the towers close in the room.
