Understanding Bathroom Painting Costs for Professionals

For construction professionals, determining the cost to paint a bathroom involves more than just square footage. Current rates for professional painting services range from $2.00 to $3.25 per sq. ft., with full-service packages costing between $400 and $750 for a standard 5' × 8' bathroom. High-end moisture-blocking systems can range from $900 to $1,300. These figures are based on real-time data from CountBricks, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Labor vs. DIY

While DIY may seem cost-effective, professional teams often complete projects faster and with less waste. CountBricks data shows that professionals can finish a bathroom in 4-6 hours, whereas DIY projects may take two weekends.
