Outdoor bathroom cost?

6 years ago

I would like to add an outdoor bathroom: shower, sink & toilet enclosed with vinyl fencing.

It would be located on the outside of the existing master bedroom & bath shown on the diagram.

We have a 1 year old house in Naples Park, FL. I checked with the county about the lot line setbacks & there is adequate room. The window in the master bath is not an issue because it has frosted glass & the lower ledge is 6' from the ground (ceilings are 10'). I would like to get a general idea of cost before starting to research recommended contractors. Thank you!

Figure the standard 20K hall bath renovation cost to start with. You’re having to build all new everything, so there’s no way it will be less. Start adding and subtracting costs from there. You can’t do this on grass. Or without a roof. The only think missing from the build out is normal walls. So, add the building of the slab and roof, with the supports that hold them up. Walls would be cheaper than a post and beam assembly. Subtract a vanity if you don’t want one, but you still need a pedestal sink and faucet, and walls that hold plumbing. So, by the time it’s fitted out, 30K at least. +- the DIY labor contribution, and the paperwork hassle.

Here is the house floor plan.

Waste lines for toilets must be pitched in a downward slope to the main sewer. If the municipal sewer is located at the front of the house, you'll have to rip up your shower to allow for the new toilet line. If you need a pool potty, consider this instead https://incinolet.com/

Sounds like you are in an HOA/COA community. Is this something the ARC (Architectural Control Committee) will allow?

I agree you better check about the HOA since they cn be really tricky apparently when it comes to something not everyone has.

Very helpful info. I think we will start with an outdoor shower & see how much it gets used before investing in the full bathroom. I know we will have to run hot water from inside. Any other advice?
