Describe the job in plain words. No email needed to see your first estimate — about fifteen seconds for a small job, a little longer for a big one.
What you get — see the format first
A complete estimate you can send to the customer, built from the rate you enter:
| Description | Qty | Unit | Unit price | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Labor — itemized by task | hrs | hour | your rate | — |
| Materials — with your markup applied | qty | ea / sq ft | cost + markup | — |
| Permits, disposal, access | — | — | — | — |
Plus a plain-English scope summary, assumptions (what had to be guessed), exclusions (what you are not doing — the section that prevents most change-order arguments), and a validity period. Printable, or send the link.
Every figure comes from the rate and markup you supply. We never fill in a market price for you.

How bathroom remodel jobs are bid
A bathroom remodel is bid as a sequence of trades in a room too small for two of them at once, which is why the schedule and the price are the same conversation. Fixtures and finishes are countable and quotable; what is behind the walls is not, and in a bathroom it is usually the oldest plumbing in the house. Every estimate in this trade needs a stated allowance for concealed conditions and a written change-order rule, or the first open wall turns a fixed price into an argument.
What a bathroom remodel estimate should contain
- Demolition and disposal, with the dumpster or haul-off stated
- Plumbing rough-in: supply, drain, vent changes and any relocated fixture
- Electrical rough-in: circuits, GFCI, lighting, exhaust fan and its duct to outside
- Framing changes — niche, blocking for grab bars, subfloor repair
- Waterproofing and the shower or tub system
- Tile or surround by area, with the pattern stated
- Fixtures by model — toilet, tub or pan, valve and trim, vanity, sink, faucet
- Finishes — paint, trim, door, mirror, accessories
- Permit and the rough and final inspections
- Concealed-conditions allowance with the unit rates it will be billed at
What gets left out of bathroom remodel estimates
- Rotten subfloor at the toilet flange — the most common hidden find in this room
- Exhaust fan ducted to the outside rather than into the attic
- Valve depth against the finished wall thickness once tile and backer are on
- Customer-supplied fixtures arriving late, wrong or short a part
Your prices, not internet averages
Generic AI quotes national averages. BidWand builds a price book from every estimate you send and every rate you correct, so by the fifth bid it prices like you do — your labor rate, your markup, your exclusions.
