Every contractor's website says "every job is different." True — and useless. Here is what bathroom work actually costs in the Rogue Valley in 2026, in ranges, so you can decide whether to call anyone at all.
These ranges come from the jobs we price and build in Jackson and Josephine County. They assume real tile over a proper waterproofing system, licensed plumbing and electrical, and permits where the work needs them. National websites quote a Medford "average" of around $8,000 for a bathroom remodel — that's a blend of $3,000 vanity swaps and $40,000 gut jobs, so it fits nobody. Use the tiers below instead. Tub-to-shower conversion (tile, low threshold, anti-slip floor, glass): roughly $9,000–$16,000. Walk-in or curbless shower rebuild in the same footprint: $10,000–$18,000. Mid-range full bathroom remodel (new shower or tub, vanity, toilet, floor, lighting, same layout): $18,000–$35,000. Down-to-the-studs primary bath with a layout change, heated floor, double vanity: $35,000–$60,000+. Grab bar installation: a few hundred dollars for a set anchored into studs; more if walls need opening for blocking. Acrylic "one-day" liner systems from the national chains often land in the same $8,000–$15,000 band as a real tile conversion — you're paying for speed and a sales team, not for materials that last.
Whether plumbing moves (a drain relocation is real money), tile choice and pattern (large-format is faster than mosaic), glass (a fixed panel is cheap; a frameless door isn't), and what we find behind the wall — rot and old galvanized pipe are common in pre-1980 Medford homes.
Demo and haul-away, waterproofing membrane and pan, tile and grout, fixtures at a mid-range spec, glass, plumbing and electrical by licensed trades, permits, and cleanup. Not included: fixtures above the allowance, and surprises we photograph and price before touching.
Skip the waterproofing membrane, glue a liner over the old tub, or tile over damaged backer board. Cheaper today, a leak in three years.

Two photos of the bathroom and a sentence about what you want. We reply with which tier you're in and a range — usually the same day, no visit required.
If the range works, we measure, confirm plumbing and framing, and give you a fixed written price with an allowance sheet for tile and fixtures.
A deposit holds a start date. Balance in stages as work completes, never all up front.
If something behind the wall changes the job, you get a photo and a price before we proceed.
A tub-to-shower conversion in the same footprint, keeping the drain where it is, with a simple tile layout and a fixed glass panel or curtain. That's the low end of the $9,000–$16,000 range.
Slightly — materials ship farther and the trades are busy. Our ranges already reflect local 2026 pricing.
If plumbing or electrical changes, yes — and the permit is included in our price. Cosmetic swaps (vanity, toilet, paint) don't need one. Our permit guide explains the details.
We're a small owner-run company and don't carry financing in-house. Many clients use a home-equity line or a credit union home-improvement loan; we're happy to give you a written estimate for the application.
