Adding a wall-hung urinal to a primary suite, pool house, or garage shop has become a popular way to save water and eliminate traffic in busy family bathrooms. Yet homeowners often find conflicting information when researching the cost to install urinal fixtures. CountBricks brings clarity by combining live material pricing, local labor rates, and scope-specific task lists into one voice-driven estimating platform. Below, our residential construction specialists break down every factor so you can budget with confidence.
The total cost to install a urinal in a single-family home usually falls between $1,050 and $2,800. Premium commercial-grade fixtures or complex retrofits can push budgets beyond $4,000, while straightforward new-build rough-ins sometimes land under $1,000. CountBricks estimates give you an exact number in seconds by accounting for localized variables.
• Regional wage differences can swing plumber day rates by 30 % or more
• Supply-chain fluctuations affect brass valves, carriers, and trim
• Square-footage-based calculators ignore demolition, patching, and finish work
• DIY blogs rarely include permit fees or inspection costs
CountBricks eliminates guesswork by streaming live pricing data directly into your estimate. No outdated averages—just today’s market conditions for your ZIP code.
• Standard vitreous china urinal: $200–$450
• Waterless or ultra-low-flush model: $320–$650

In Austin, CountBricks residential trade partners average $85–$105 per hour. Rates in suburban or rural markets can drop by 15 %, while dense metro cores trend higher. Our platform updates those rates weekly to keep your proposal accurate.

• Waterproofing backer board in wet zones: $1.50–$3 per square foot

Most municipalities treat a residential urinal as a plumbing fixture addition, triggering a plumbing and possibly a building permit. Fees usually range from $120 to $250. CountBricks AI adds jurisdiction-specific permitting lines to every estimate, so you are never blindsided by city paperwork.
• Choose a rear-outlet urinal if the room backs up to an existing 3-inch waste stack—minimal floor demo required
• Use PEX supply lines instead of copper where code allows—material savings up to 25 %
• Schedule installation during a larger remodel to share mobilization fees
• Opt for waterless cartridges to reduce flush valve costs and lower monthly utility bills
CountBricks estimators can present side-by-side scenarios in real time. Just ask, “What if we switch to PEX?” and watch the numbers update on your screen.

A recent CountBricks client converted a detached garage into a hobby workshop and wanted a urinal to avoid tracking sawdust through the main house. After a 10-minute voice call, the CountBricks AI generated:
• Fixture & carrier: $540
• Plumbing labor: $720
• Electrical GFCI for sensor valve: $160
• Wall tile splash: $220
• Permit & inspection: $135
Total installed cost: $1,775. The homeowner approved the quote the same day, and the job passed inspection two weeks later—right on budget.
Yes. Modern ultra-low-flush units use 0.125–0.5 gallons per flush versus 1.28 gallons for most toilets. Waterless models use none.
Appraisers rarely assign direct value, but buyers view it as a luxury feature in high-end homes or entertainment spaces. It can set your property apart in a competitive market.
While a skilled homeowner can set the fixture, code requires a licensed plumber for the drain tie-in and pressure test in most jurisdictions. CountBricks coordinates licensed trades for complete compliance.
