If it’s a demo to the studs you are looking at 5 to 6 weeks, If it’s just revamping by adding tile and new fixtures then about 2 weeks…
Hello,
There are all kinds of variables that play a roll in how long a bathroom tile project will take.
Whether it is high end or basic ceramic tile, the time to actually install should be close to the same for both materials.
It is not possible to say how long it will take based off the information you have supplied, there are no room dimensions for the bathroom or designs attached.
I will say that there is a process that needs to be followed from the very beginning to the final completion of the work to include: demo, wall or sub-floor reinforcement (if needed), surface preparation, hardie backer installation with joints and seams finished, waterproof membrane applied (where needed), layout for tile and pattern, install tile, grout tile, seal tile and grout.
If you supplied me with the room dimensions and a scope of work detail with materials I could get you a more detailed time frame for how long the project generally takes us to complete. But, please remember, each and every person and or contractor works at a different pace.
I hope this has helped answer your questions

Really great question!
When we are asked these type of questions by anyone inquiring on any kind of job, we typically try to fit the project within the scope of the clients budget and size. These two variables play a key role on the end result of any project. Typically a bathroom can be completed within 4-6 weeks but if the materials requested are imported or customized, it may require a longer time frame.
Depends on the scope----Just completed a 127 sq.ft. master bathroom, but probably a larger scope than most—water closet (Toilet) relocation, removal of jacuuzi tub, removal of shower, removal of all drywall and flooring-----New shower expanded to 20 sq.ft, with knee wall, clear glass doors, granite vanity tops, 2 niches, 1 a 2 shelf niche, the other in a knee wall next to the toilet----all knee walls were tiled, shower tiled to with in 1’ of ceiling, all new waterproof subflooring/ tile over–( wood floor), tile baseboard, all new drywall, new entry door, custom wall texturing and 3 tone colors in paint, relocation of light fixtures and new shower valve, large cast iron claw foot tub— all new valves and light fixtures…Project was permitted, I’m the builder, I had to have an Electrical contractor and a Plumbing contractor., a Glass door fabricator, and a granite fabricator
Now here is all that was involved:
- Scheduling of all subs, for rough and trim / inspections
- Receiving of undamaged special order materials—door came in damaged-since special order—3 week wait time.
- Some special order tile was delivered damaged, had to re-order …
- Glass door fabricator took several weeks, but could only measure after shower tile completed
5 ) Granite vanity tops took several weeks—they were custom made, the plumber could not set the sinks, until the tops were in - And finally there was another back order of 2 other items—wrong colors–client picked out on line, but didn’t like actual
So as a builder, I can tell you all kinds of things can happen, but high end bathrooms are custom most of the time, and the more custom, the more time, IF EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT----it could be a month or several months----my case it was several months, but my client understood, events beyond my control.
Most high end bath remodels include electrical work, new vent fans, etc. You may discover some rot from the prior, almost-always-poorly-installed shower or bath. These things add schedule complexity and uncertainty.
If everything goes just about perfectly, about 1 month would be possible. With a few changes, or delivery problems, or other typical bumps in the road, 2 months is typical.
You can speed the schedule by significantly increasing the budget - expedited shipping, paying for overtime or work on weekends and evenings.
