In 2026, bathroom remodel costs in San Francisco have stabilized post-inflation, but location matters: expect $8,000-$15,000 for a basic refresh (under 60 sq ft) covering new fixtures, paint, lighting, and minor plumbing tweaks. We'll cover:

- Average breakdowns: Fixtures ($2K-$4K), labor ($3K-$6K), materials ($2K-$4K).

- Bay Area factors like permits ($500+), seismic retrofits, and premium labor rates.

- Budget hacks: Paint over tile ($500), vinyl flooring swaps ($1K), vs. full gut jobs ($20K+).

- 2026 trends: Affordable smart mirrors ($300) and low-flow toilets with rebates.
