The 3 Most Common Questions We Get Asked About Bathroom Renovations
1. How much will it cost?
It depends on your goals and budget. A basic makeover—replacing the toilet, vanity, shower screen, taps, and towel rails—starts from around $6,500. A mid-range upgrade that includes resurfacing or tiling over existing finishes usually costs between $8,500 and $15,000. A full strip-out and redesign can range from $18,000 to $30,000, while high-end renovations with custom vanities, premium fixtures, marble tiles, and interior design can reach $30,000 to $60,000 or more.
2. How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Bathroom renovations take longer than they appear to on TV. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, they can run anywhere from one to eight weeks. A standard renovation typically takes around four weeks. High-end projects can take up to seven weeks due to custom items and more detailed work. Delays can also happen if tradespeople are unavailable or if you're waiting for things like waterproofing certification before tiling. Always allow extra time just in case.
3. What are common mistakes?
Common mistakes include choosing the cheapest quote, not checking for licensed trades, and allowing a tiler to carry out plumbing and electrical work. This is both risky and illegal without the correct qualifications and licenses. Getting professional advice from the start can help you avoid costly issues down the line.
