How Much Does a Bathroom Remodel Cost in Daniel Island, SC?
Plan your Daniel Island bathroom around the room size, existing layout and work you want done. Reviewed September 12, 2026; the cited project benchmarks are from 2025. They are not local market averages or a quote for your home.
By Jared McCarley, founder of Southeastern Renovation and the SC-licensed general contractor (CLG.127339). Page updated October 13, 2026; figures checked September 12, 2026.
Quick answer: Plan on about $27,000 to update an existing 5-by-7-foot bathroom and about $83,000 for an upscale job that grows a 35 sq ft bathroom to 100 sq ft inside the house and moves fixtures. Those are the 2025 Cost vs. Value figures for Charleston, SC, checked September 12, 2026: two different scopes, not a low-to-high range, and not Southeastern Renovation quotes. On Daniel Island, 2000-era framing and plumbing runs are predictable, so bathrooms rarely surprise on scope; a change to an exterior vent goes to design review. Compare the source and scope.

What does each bathroom budget level include in Daniel Island?
The Remodeling 2025 Cost vs. Value Report — Charleston, SC provides two distinct reference projects.
Existing 5-by-7-foot bath — about $27,000: the midrange project updates a 35-square-foot room with replacement fixtures, a tub and tile surround, vanity counter, medicine cabinet and ceramic flooring. This involves more work than painting and changing a vanity.
Expansion inside the house — about $83,000: the upscale project expands a 35-square-foot bathroom to 100 square feet within the existing house footprint and relocates fixtures. It includes a separate shower and soaking tub, two sinks, upgraded storage and lighting, ventilation, HVAC extension and heated flooring.
These Charleston figures are regional context, not a separate Daniel Island price survey. These are not two finish levels for the same room, a minimum-to-maximum range or a 2026 Southeastern Renovation quote. A shower-only conversion, accessibility changes, different room size or addition outside the house needs its own measured scope and estimate.
