Quick answer: Plan on about $26,000 to update an existing 5-by-7-foot bathroom and about $80,000 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 Charlotte, NC (a nearby-market reference, not a York County survey), checked September 12, 2026: two different scopes, not a low-to-high range, and not Southeastern Renovation quotes. In Lake Wylie, interior bathroom work is straightforward, though waterfront deed restrictions can limit additions. Compare the source and scope.

What does each bathroom budget level include in Lake Wylie?
The Remodeling 2025 Cost vs. Value Report — Charlotte, NC provides two distinct reference projects.
Existing 5-by-7-foot bath — about $26,000: 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 $80,000: 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.
Charlotte is a nearby-market reference, not a measured Lake Wylie or York County average. 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.
