Most Americans pay $20K–$35K for a bathroom remodel. The bathroom itself costs less than half of that. The rest is contractor margin, project management, and trades you never shopped around. This playbook removes all of it.

A quick word from Jimmi.

G'day, I'm Jimmi. I've been flipping houses for 21 years back in Australia, and the same truth holds wherever you are: bathrooms quietly make or break a flip. Done right, a fresh bathroom lifts the whole house and pays you back at sale. Done wrong — a leak behind the tiles, a failed waterproofing job — and you're ripping it out two years later.

I kept getting the same questions from people renovating in the States: "Jimmi, the contractor quoted me $28K for one bathroom, is that fair?" "What does waterproofing actually cost?" "Do I really need to gut it to the studs?" Same questions, same mistakes waiting to happen.

So I wrote it all down for the US market. Real suppliers, real American prices, every trade question. The exact order I run a bathroom today, after 21 years and a couple hundred flips. Gave it to a few people. They saved between $8K and $20K.

This is that system. No fluff. No fake urgency. Just what works.

— Jimmi xx

From people who've used it.

★★★★★
"The contractor pricing comparison alone saved me $6K. Local guy quoted $16K. I followed Jimmi's checklist, got three more quotes using his exact script, ended up paying $10K for the same job from a better outfit. Wish I'd had this for my last bathroom."

Real customer feedback

★★★★★
"I almost didn't buy it because $97 felt like 'just another e-book.' Wish I had sooner. The supplier list and the waterproofing section saved me from making three expensive mistakes my brother-in-law made on his bathroom last year."

★★★★★
"The 'how to read a quote' chapter is worth ten times the price. I caught a $1,600 'allowance' buried in my contractor's bid that he couldn't explain. Brought it up, he dropped it on the spot. That's a $97 book that paid for itself 16 times over."

★★★★★
"We did our condo bathroom and the HOA section alone saved us a headache. The neighbor letter, the board approval steps, the working-hour windows for the noisy demo — stuff I never would've thought of until it was a problem. Smooth from start to finish."

★★★★★
"First time managing trades myself and I was terrified. The scripts told me exactly what to say to each one. Got the plumber, electrician, waterproofer and tiler lined up in the right order with no overlap. Came in at $11K on a bathroom the GC wanted $29K for."

★★★★★
"I run a small flip business and I bought this to hand to my project partner. The 16-step order of operations is now how we run every bathroom. Cut our material overspend way down just from knowing where to actually buy and what to skip."

★★★★★
"Tiny powder room plus a full bath, I figured a guide built for flips wouldn't apply. It scaled perfectly. Used the budget framework and the tile comparison, sourced everything from Home Depot, did the demo myself. Looks like a $18K bathroom for about $6K."

★★★★★
"What sold me was the honesty. He flat-out tells you when to spend and when not to bother. Talked me out of a linear drain I didn't need and into spending that money on better waterproofing and faucets instead. Reads like a friend who's done it, not a sales pitch."

★★★★★
"The tiling chapter cleared up subway vs porcelain and what grout to use in about five minutes — what actually matters vs marketing. Picked the right tile, didn't overpay, and the walk-through checklist caught two defects before I made final payment."

$8K bathroom. Lifted the whole sale.

One of Jimmi's actual flips. A general contractor quoted $28K for the same job. Done by managing the trades directly using the exact system in this playbook.

Contractor Quote

Why most bathrooms cost $28K.

Here's the exact breakdown of an average general-contractor quote. The actual bathroom is the smallest line item. Everything else is what you can remove.

GC project management$6K–$12K
Contractor margin on materials$2K–$6K
Overpriced trades (no comparison)$2K–$5K
The actual bathroom$6K–$12K

The playbook removes the top three lines.

You buy the materials yourself. You hire trades directly using Jimmi's scripts. You follow the system. You keep $8K–$18K.

Let's be honest.

Not every bathroom remodel needs this playbook. Here's who it actually helps — and who should skip it.

✓ This is for you if…

  • You're planning a bathroom remodel in the next 6 months
  • You've had contractor quotes that felt outrageous
  • You're willing to manage trades (not do licensed work illegally)
  • You want to know where every dollar goes before you spend it
  • You're flipping or selling within 3 years
  • You want it done right the first time

✗ Skip this if…

  • You want someone else to handle every decision
  • Budget genuinely isn't a concern
  • You're looking for illegal DIY plumbing/electrical/waterproofing shortcuts
  • You want a glossy brochure, not a working document
  • You expect a finished bathroom without any involvement

Not a brochure. A working system.

Every chapter covers a real decision you'll have to make — from "should we even do this?" through to "the tiler's coming Monday." Here's the stuff most playbooks skip.

The exact budget framework

Four-bucket allocation (products, trades, contingency, non-negotiables) with real US prices for 2026. Know what your bathroom should cost before you spend a cent.

Cost ceilingBucket splitContingency rules

The 16-step order of operations

Every stage, in the right order, with nothing hidden inside vague terms. Why waterproofing always comes before tiling. Why the shower door gets measured last (from the finished tile). When fit-off happens. When the glass goes in.

Demo → handoffCure timesSequence rules

Waterproofing: the one you can't get wrong

The single most important chapter. RedGard vs Hydro Ban, how many coats, where the membrane has to go, and the certificate you must have before final payment. Get this wrong and you're ripping out a two-year-old bathroom.

Tiling: subway, porcelain, the lot

Daltile subway vs large-format porcelain — what's actually different and what's just marketing. Floor-first method, dry-lay, why you never grout a corner, what thinset and grout to buy. Beginner-friendly step-by-steps for DIYers.

Trades: hire, manage, pay

The 10 questions to ask every trade before you hire (with the exact scripts). How to read a quote (allowances, change orders, line items — all translated). The payment structure that keeps leverage on your side until the final walk-through.

Plain-English glossary

Rough-in, fit-off, substrate, membrane, penetrations, falls, curb, lippage, GFCI, WaterSense — every term the plumber, electrician, waterproofer and tiler will use, decoded so you don't get blindsided.

No jargon wallsFirst-timer friendly

The exact product list

Tile, vanities, toilets, faucets, shower doors, drains, exhaust fans, waterproofing — every product I've used, with current US prices and what to order from Home Depot. Budget pick and upgrade pick for every line. Plus what to NEVER cheap out on.

The things nobody warns you about

Asbestos in pre-1990 tile adhesive. Why the floor must slope to the drain before tiling. Standard fixture heights (vanity, mirror, shower head). The "free measure" that's actually a sales trap. Sealing every penetration.

Hidden trapsAsbestos checkStandard heights

The full walk-through checklist

Tile lippage, grout consistency, silicone vs grout in corners, faucet and toilet function, drain test, fan airflow, all three compliance certificates. Every defect gets caught before the final payment leaves your account.

Troubleshooting for years later

Cracked grout in a corner? Mouldy silicone? Slow shower drain? Dripping faucet? Running toilet? The common bathroom problems and exactly how to fix them (or when to call someone — with how much it should cost).

The math, in one slider.

Slide to your contractor quote. This is a rough estimate — actual savings depend on scope, location, and how much you manage yourself. Jimmi's real flips have averaged 50–60% savings.

✌️ No-BS Guarantee — Not worth $97? Email me. I'll sort it. No arguments.

Before you buy.

The stuff I get asked most often. If yours isn't here, email me and I'll answer it.

Do I need to be handy to use this?
Nope. The playbook is built for people who want to manage the project — not necessarily do the licensed work. You hire your plumber, electrician, waterproofer and tiler directly using my scripts. Where you can save money handling some bits yourself (demo, tiling, accessories), I'll show you what's legal vs what needs a licensed trade.
Will this work for a small bathroom, not just big ones?
Yes — the framework scales. Whether you're doing a tiny powder room, a standard hall bath, or a full master ensuite, the system is the same: budget brackets, product comparisons, trade scripts, sequence rules. The savings are proportional, not fixed. Smaller bathrooms save $4K–$8K. Full renos save $10K–$20K+.
Does it work for condos and HOA buildings?
Yes. There's a section on condo and HOA-specific stuff — the courtesy letter to neighbors, how to check HOA rules and get board approval before demo, working-hour windows, and the extra care wet-area work needs in a multi-unit building. The rest of the system is identical.
What if I've already got quotes I'm comparing?
Even better. The "How to Read a Quote" chapter alone is worth the $97 — it shows you exactly which line items are inflated, what allowances and change orders actually mean, and the questions to ask each contractor before you sign. People have used the playbook just for the quote-comparison chapter and saved $4K+.
Is this US-specific?
Yes — written for the US market (local building codes and permits, which vary by city and state, electrical to NEC standards, waterproofing to ANSI A118.10, US fixture suppliers, Home Depot supply chains). It'd still be useful elsewhere for the management and sequencing stuff, but the supplier lists and code info are all US.
How long until I get it?
Instantly. The moment your payment clears, you get an email with download links to the PDFs and a login link to the interactive app. You can start reading within 60 seconds.
What's the refund policy?
Simple. If the playbook isn't worth $97 to you, email me and I'll refund you. No forms, no arguments, no "tell us why." I'd rather keep the trust than the money.
Can I print the toolkit?
That's the point of it. The toolkit is designed letter-size, print-friendly, with fill-in templates, checkboxes, and signature blocks. Print once at the start, staple by section, keep in a job folder. Laminate the on-site checklists if you want them to survive a bathroom demo.
