Professional contractors will be done within one day for most bathroom demo projects. And if it’s just floor tile or fixture removal, it might only take a few hours. They might need a few days to demo a big bathroom covered floor-to-ceiling in tiles, especially if a wall needs to come down, too. If you’re gutting a big bathroom yourself, it could take a few days to a week, depending on whether you're just learning how to demo a bathroom, who else you can rope in to help, and the extent of the demolition.

The most common alternative is burning the stump first, then dealing with the cinders and ashes. As you can imagine, this option creates fire hazards, especially since roots can burn underground, hidden, for long afterward. That’s why many states and cities have outlawed the use of stump burning entirely. We do not recommend this option as a viable alternative unless you get a permit from the local fire department and practice all safe burning procedures.

Others prefer a more long-term DIY approach of degrading the stump with home mixtures like Epsom salt and vinegar injected directly into it. This may help the stump decay faster, allowing homeowners to dig it out themselves, but it’s still a lengthy process. It usually takes months for a stump to start falling apart with such treatments, and in the meantime, it can be vulnerable to rot, insects, and other problems.

Generally speaking, demolition is a better option if you’re dealing with a compromised foundation or repeated issues with structural integrity, but it depends on your situation and structure. Demolition is typically a better option for older homes, whereas renovating can be a more affordable way to modernize a home that is younger than 80 to 100 years old and still has “good bones.” Demolition might be more cost-effective if you plan on making major changes to the floor plan of your home during the rebuild.
