## Commercial Bathroom Fixture Types

Commercial bathroom projects span a wide range of fixture categories, each with distinct price drivers. Whether you are outfitting a 200-key hotel, a Class-A office building, or a multifamily development, the four core categories below account for 85-95% of your bathroom materials budget.

### [Faucets](/content/price-index/bathroom-fixtures/faucets/index.html)

Lavatory faucets, widespread, single-hole, wall-mount, and sensor-operated. Chrome remains the most cost-effective finish; brushed nickel and matte black command 84-151% premium at commercial volumes.

### [Vanities](/content/price-index/bathroom-fixtures/vanities/index.html)

Single-sink, double-sink, wall-hung, and freestanding. Size is the largest cost driver: a 36" vanity runs roughly 51% less than a 60" double at commercial pricing. Wood-look finishes skew higher than solid or modern styles.

### [Toilets](/content/price-index/bathroom-fixtures/toilets/index.html)

Two-piece, one-piece, wall-hung, and elongated bowl. Japanese-origin products carry a higher median price due to integrated washlet technology. US-made economy models start at $60.49 at commercial pricing.

### [Shower & Tub](/content/price-index/bathroom-fixtures/shower-tub/index.html)

Shower bases, tub/shower combos, frameless enclosures, and shower panels. The 30x60 tub/shower combo is the workhorse of hospitality projects. Frameless glass enclosures drive the highest per-unit cost.

## Itemized Cost Per Restroom: The Breakdown Nobody Publishes

Most pricing guides give you individual fixture costs. What construction teams actually need is the full per-restroom materials cost so they can multiply across unit counts and build accurate budgets. Below are three common restroom configurations using current March 2026 commercial median pricing.

### Standard Hotel Guest Bathroom

Most common
- Vanity (36" single sink) $421
- Lavatory faucet (chrome, single-hole) $25
- Toilet (two-piece, elongated) $125
- Tub/shower combo (30x60) $505
- Shower valve + trim kit $90
- Accessories (towel bar, TP holder, robe hook) $45  
Total fixtures per bathroom $1,211

At 150 keys: $181,650 in bathroom fixtures alone

### Multifamily Unit Bathroom

Value-engineered
- Vanity (30" single sink) $359
- Lavatory faucet (chrome, single-hole) $25
- Toilet (two-piece, standard) $100
- Tub/shower combo (30x60) $505
- Shower valve + trim kit $75
- Accessories (towel bar, TP holder) $30  
Total fixtures per bathroom $1,094

At 200 units: $218,800 in bathroom fixtures alone

### Class-A Office Restroom (Per Stall)

High-traffic
- Wall-hung vanity w/ integrated top (60" double) $937
- Sensor faucets x2 $162
- Wall-hung toilet $192
- Flush valve (concealed) $120
- Partition + accessories $280  
Total fixtures per stall station $1,691

Per-floor with 4 stalls: ~$6,764

These estimates use commercial median pricing and represent fixture materials only -- labor, rough plumbing, and tile/finishes are excluded. On typical hospitality projects, bathroom fixtures represent 15-22% of the total FF&E budget. At these volumes, even a 20% reduction through value engineering translates to six-figure savings on a mid-size project.

## Hotel Bathroom Fixtures by Star Rating

Hotel bathroom specifications vary dramatically by tier. A 3-star select-service property and a 5-star luxury resort operate in entirely different price bands. The table below maps typical fixture selections and per-bathroom budgets by hotel class, using current commercial pricing data.

| Component | 3-Star Select-Service | 4-Star Full-Service | 5-Star Luxury |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Faucet | Chrome single-hole<br>$25 - $40 | Brushed nickel widespread<br>$40 - $75 | Designer matte/brass<br>$100 - $175 |
| Vanity | 30" laminate single<br>$280 - $420 | 36" wood-look single<br>$480 - $940 | 48-60" custom double<br>$940 - $1,561 |
| Toilet | Two-piece elongated<br>$60.49 - $125 | One-piece skirted<br>$125 - $230 | Wall-hung or integrated washlet<br>$230 - $432 |
| Shower/Tub | Acrylic tub/shower combo<br>$200 - $505 | Tiled shower w/ glass door<br>$450 - $640 | Frameless enclosure + rain head<br>$640 - $576 |
| Est. Per-Room Total | **$700 - $1,200** | **$1,200 - $2,100** | **$2,100 - $4,200+** |

Pricing based on Flume commercial data. 5-star projects frequently specify European brands (German, Belgian) which carry 40-80% premiums over domestic equivalents.

## How Much More Do Touchless Fixtures Cost vs Traditional?

Post-COVID specifications increasingly mandate touchless fixtures in hospitality and commercial office projects. Sensor-operated faucets, flush valves, and soap dispensers are no longer a luxury upgrade -- they are a standard expectation in Class-A and 4-star+ properties. Here is what the premium looks like.

| Fixture | Traditional (Commercial) | Touchless (Commercial) | Premium |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Lavatory faucet | $25 - $66.47 | $75 - $175 | +120-160% |
| Flush valve (toilet) | $45 - $85 | $110 - $220 | +140-160% |
| Soap dispenser | $12 - $30 | $65 - $140 | +350-440% |
| Paper towel dispenser | $25 - $60 | $85 - $200 | +230-340% |

### The ROI argument for touchless

While the upfront premium is significant, touchless fixtures reduce water consumption by 30-40% (sensor faucets limit flow duration) and lower maintenance costs through reduced soap/towel waste. On a 200-key hotel project, the water savings alone can offset the fixture premium within 18-24 months. More importantly, many hotel brands now require touchless in their brand standards -- making this less of an upgrade decision and more of a compliance requirement.

## ADA Compliance Cost Considerations

ADA-compliant bathroom fixtures do not always cost more than standard fixtures, but the design constraints affect layout and product selection in ways that impact budgets.

### Vanities and Lavatories

ADA requires knee clearance beneath the lavatory (minimum 27" high, 30" wide, 19" deep). This eliminates most base-cabinet vanities and drives specification toward wall-mounted or open-base designs. Wall-hung vanities with ADA clearance typically cost **10-20% more** than equivalent freestanding models.

### Toilets

ADA-height (comfort height) toilets at 17-19" seat height are now standard in most commercial specifications, so the cost differential is minimal -- typically **$0-$15 per unit**.

### Faucets and Controls

ADA mandates lever handles or sensor operation (no twist knobs). Lever-handle faucets carry no meaningful premium;

### Shower and Tub

Roll-in showers replace standard tub/shower combos in ADA rooms. A 30x60 roll-in shower base with zero-threshold entry costs **$350-$640** at commercial pricing.

On a typical hotel project where 10-15% of rooms are ADA-compliant, the incremental fixture cost for ADA bathrooms adds $200-$500 per accessible room.

## Specification Standards for Commercial Bathroom Fixtures

Beyond cost, getting the technical specification right determines whether fixtures perform over their full lifecycle. The decisions below -- valve technology, finish chemistry, flush performance, and code compliance -- are the details that separate a well-specified project from one that generates warranty claims and maintenance callbacks for years after opening.

### Shower Valve Technology: What Commits at Rough-In

The shower valve rough-in is one of the earliest procurement decisions on any construction project.

### Fixture Finish Durability: PVD vs Electroplated

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finishes -- including brushed nickel, matte black, and champagne bronze -- last 15 to 25 or more years under normal commercial use.

### Toilet Performance: MaP Scores Explained

MaP (Maximum Performance) testing measures how many grams of solid waste a toilet can flush in a single cycle.

### Water Savings at Scale

At [WaterSense](https://www.epa.gov/watersense)-certified 1.28 GPF (versus the old 1.6 GPF standard), water savings across a 200-key hotel are significant: roughly 1.2 million gallons per year.

### Code Compliance Essentials

Every commercial bathroom fixture specification must comply with multiple overlapping standards.

**[ASSE 1016](https://www.asse-plumbing.org/standards/listing/1016)**

**[WaterSense](https://www.epa.gov/watersense) (EPA)**  
**[ASME A112.18.1](https://www.asme.org/codes-standards/find-codes-standards/a112-18-1-csa-b125-1-plumbing-supply-fittings)**  
**NSF/ANSI 372**  
**[ANSI Z97.1](https://www.ansi.org/)**
