By "sustainable" do you mean a renewable source, or long lasting? Wood, bamboo or straw are some renewable materials, concrete is long lasting but uses mined minerals so it probably would not be considered "renewable".

“Sustainable” means avoiding depletion of natural resources. Both renewable and long lasting are sustainable. However some are more sustainable than others. Although wood is renewable, some species take 50 years or more to grow and mature. If we use too much of them, we have to wait for a long time for them to grow back. That is not very sustainable. If you want to use wood, please use FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood –a non-profit organization promotes the responsible management of the world’s forests. Bamboo mature in 5-7 years and can be harvested. Straws are going to be thrown away, but we use them to make fuel and straw-bale for walls. Thus, bamboo and straw are more sustainable. Concrete is sustainable because it is long lasting and won’t need for replacement anytime soon. Granite is long lasting but not sustainable. To excavate granite from the mountain, the environment is destroyed and the mountains are removed. And they are often shipped to countries thousands of miles away for cheap labor to cut and polish them. Then ship them to thousands miles away to countries who buy them. The embodied energy is huge.

I too agree with you that there are so many options available when you go for the bathroom remodeling as you can easily give a new and stylish look in a very limited budget.

Bathroom remodeling is a great way to increase the value of a home.

in fact while staying in budget, you can remodel your bathrooms, easily. One of the best ways to make your small bathroom look and feel bigger,by designing your walk-in shower with a curbless entry.

Another cost effective way that you can try on is to change your regular tiles with a monochromatic tiled floor and no curb on the shower, your eye is less likely to be interrupted by the step. Well, if you want you can even look for more online.

In addition, you can consider using a glass wall on your shower so that there is no harsh line to create a visual barrier.

Here is a very fine example of monochromatic tiles use and a galls wall, have a look:

Well everyone wants to have a beautiful and Sustainable home for which we need to use Sustainable materials like marbles, tiles except natural resources. That's why we using granite and marble related materials that are available in markets, even now in online also (For example: BuilderoutletUSA). So its necessary to use Sustainable materials for have a Sustainable house.

Bathroom remodelling a very complex concept and require quite deep knowledge about construction and designing of the home. there are certain things which can't be avoided such as Adding a Spacer to the Toilet Flange, Getting a Curved Shower Rod, Update the Lighting. If you don't have much ideas about remodelling of a bathroom you can take help from a good source like http://tpslandplanning.com/ where you can have in depth knowledge and concepts involved in it.

The main ingredient in concrete is limestone, which happens to be the most plentiful mineral on earth. It is considered sustainable for that reason, combined with the fact that the concrete that already exists can be recycled/re-purposed.

I think it would really depend on the size of the bathroom, the type of tile you wanted to use (there's a HUGE price difference between low end and high end tile) and if you wanted granite, marble, Corain, laminate, slate, or something else for the counter top.

I'd suggest asking people you know for the names of contractors and getting three quotes--keeping in mind the most expensive isn't always the best.
