Logan Bathrooms, By Era
The three eras that define Logan housing show up in the bathroom faster than anywhere else. In the early-1900s bungalows downtown there is often one bathroom for the whole house, carved out of a hallway, with galvanized supply behind the wall. In the 1950s to 1970s brick ranches on Hillcrest and Cliffside there are usually two, both original, both small. East toward Green Canyon the bathrooms are newer and the complaint is not condition — it is that the primary bath is builder-grade and the layout wastes half the room.
Those are three different projects with three different budgets, and all three are called a bathroom remodel.
What A Bathroom Costs in Logan
Bathrooms in Logan run $20,000 to $60,000 and up, with most landing between $30,000 and $40,000.
Finishes move that number more than room size does. Installed tile runs $15 to $30 and up per square foot, frameless glass is $3,000 to $6,000 and up, and a freestanding tub or specialty fixture is another $3,000 to $6,000. A small bathroom finished well costs more than a large one finished plainly, which surprises people every time.
A Logan Bathroom, Start To Finish
Three to six weeks, and unlike a kitchen the schedule is driven by trades rather than lead times. Demolition, rough plumbing and electrical, inspection, then close the walls, waterproof, tile, then fixtures and glass.
The two things that stretch it are tile and glass. Tile is slow by nature and cannot be rushed without showing. Frameless glass cannot be measured until the tile is finished and set, and then it is typically another week or two at the fabricator. That gap at the end is normal and worth planning around rather than being surprised by.
If plumbing or electrical is moving, the work is permitted through Logan City rather than Cache County. The Building Department is at 290 North 100 West and publishes a review window of up to two weeks, with inspections required at each phase. A like-for-like fixture swap generally is not permitted work; moving a drain is.
What Turns Up in Logan Bathrooms
Downtown, the recurring find is galvanized supply and cast-iron drain, both original and both near the end of a long life. Opening a wall to move a shower valve regularly turns into replacing a run of pipe, and that is better done now than during a Christmas dinner four years from now.
In the mid-century ranches the issue is usually the subfloor around the toilet and under the tub. Decades of small leaks do quiet damage nobody sees until the tile comes up. It is not a catastrophe, but it is a real line item, and we would rather find it on day two than day twenty.
In the newer houses the systems are sound and the constraint is the layout. The plumbing wall is where the builder put it, and moving a toilet or a shower drain across a slab or a joist bay is the difference between a finish project and a construction project. We tell you which one you have before we price it.
Bathroom Questions From Logan Homeowners
$20,000 to $60,000 and up, with most landing between $30,000 and $40,000. Finishes drive that more than square footage does — installed tile alone runs $15 to $30 and up per square foot.
Three to six weeks. The end of the schedule is usually glass: frameless panels cannot be measured until the tile is set, and fabrication is another week or two after that.
If you are moving plumbing or electrical, yes, and Logan issues its own permits rather than routing through Cache County. Review is published at up to two weeks and inspections happen at each phase. A straight fixture swap usually does not need one.
Often, and it is one of the better returns on an early-1900s house. The question is where the drain can go, and that is what decides whether it is a straightforward project or a floor-framing one. We answer it on the walkthrough.
Not as often as people expect. Fixture count, tile spec and glass set the number, and a small room finished well can cost more than a large one finished plainly.
