Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Cost of a Bathroom Renovation?
One of the most frequently asked questions for those considering a bathroom renovation is, "How much does a bathroom renovation cost in 2024?"
Without any prior research, you might be surprised to learn that the starting price for a renovation is approximately $35,000. Since every renovation project is unique, providing a precise, one-size-fits-all estimate isn't possible without a detailed consultation. However, we can outline the factors that influence the cost to help you gain a clearer understanding.
Factors Affecting Bathroom Renovation Costs
It is a common belief that smaller bathrooms are less expensive to renovate. While it's true that the per-square-meter cost may be lower for smaller spaces, several other factors come into play. To provide you with a baseline cost before we conduct an in-home consultation, we will ask a few key questions:
-
What type of construction is your house? (Brick or timber)
-
Is your house on a concrete slab? If so, this detail is important because drilling into a concrete slab to access services can be more costly.
-
Will existing plumbing need to be relocated? This may increase the cost.
-
Is your proposed renovation on the ground floor, second story, or elsewhere? Renovations on levels other than the ground floor involve additional work and costs related to waste removal and adding services.
Understanding the Baseline Cost
The baseline cost is the initial estimate before choosing specific tiles, fittings, and bathroom fixtures. This price covers the essentials such as demolition, water removal, screeding, and tiling. However, selecting premium tiles, a luxury bath, or other special features can significantly increase the overall cost. It’s important to remember that high-end choices will impact the final price beyond the baseline.

How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take?
Two common questions are: "How much will it cost?" and "How long will it take?"

On average, a bathroom renovation takes about 3 weeks. We strive to adhere to this schedule and keep you informed of any delays.
