The bathroom is one of the most essential rooms in a home. So any remodeling or renovation has to be done with extra attention and care, and the best way for a smooth remodel is to put together a checklist with everything you need.
If your bathroom is outdated, cramped, or simply not working for your needs, it’s time for a change. But where do you start when considering a bathroom remodel, especially if you’re unsure about costs and overwhelmed by choices?
The team at Dagmar Pros has put together this guide, along with a checklist, to help make sure you have everything for your bathroom renovation.
The Bathroom Renovation Checklist
Creating a detailed bath remodel checklist is a great way to make sure no expenses slip through the cracks. Because we understand that your budget is one of the most important (if not the most important) parts of home renovations.
What’s going to cost you during your remodel is materials, permits (if necessary), and any necessary plumbing or electrical work. This is where professional contractors come in handy.
Plan for the following and ask yourself during your remodel:
- Inspiration: What exactly do I want my bathroom to look like?
- Layout changes: Which parts of my bathroom need changing and what’s staying the same?
- Demolition: Does anything need to be knocked out?
- Design & Aesthetics: Which colors, finishes, and textures do I want?
Materials you need to consider include:
- Cabinetry
- Countertops
- Lighting
- Vanity
- Tile & Flooring
- Bathtub
- Fixtures
- Mirror
- Door
- Shower & Enclosures
- Caulk
- Toilet
- Paint
- Fans
- Accessories
Without a clear plan or checklist, remodeling can lead to overspending, delays, and poor results. But we’d like to note that working with a contractor gives you access to exact material and labor costs so you can compare options before committing.

How to Choose Materials for Your Bathroom Remodel
We don’t recommend wasting money on trendy features that won’t hold up over time. Make sure you’re choosing something that’s long-lasting, moisture-resistant, and sustainable (if sustainability is important to you). Poor-quality materials and DIY mistakes can result in costly long-term repairs.
Consider the following when choosing materials:
- Flooring: Durable, water-resistant options like tile or vinyl
- Wall Materials: Paints, tiles, and backsplashes optimized for humidity
- Countertops: Scratch-resistant and heatproof surfaces
- Cabinets & Storage: Functional and space-saving designs
- Plumbing Fixtures: Dependable and efficient brands
- Lighting: Bright overheads, accents for ambiance
- Accessories & Hardware: Handles, rails, mirrors
DIY Renovating vs. Hiring Contractors
For homeowners with limited expertise, remodeling can seem like a money-saving option, but it can quickly turn into a costly headache. DIY efforts may work for painting walls, updating decor, or replacing fixtures like towel racks, but for major upgrades like plumbing, tiling, and cabinetry, most projects require professional know-how.
When mistakes are made during DIY, the repairs can possibly cost more than hiring a professional in the first place.
Contractors like Dagmar Pros offer skilled expertise, certified professionals, access to premium materials, and transparent cost estimates. And we’ll handle your checklist for you!
