Bathroom Renovation

WHAT IS A FULL BATHROOM RENOVATION?

A full bathroom renovation transforms your old, outdated, or dysfunctional bathroom into a modern, practical, and stylish space. It includes all aspects of bathroom construction—from demolition and plumbing to tiling, waterproofing, cabinetry, and final finishes.

Whether you're upgrading for functionality, improving aesthetics, or increasing property value, a complete bathroom renovation ensures every element works in harmony for your lifestyle and space.

Here are the typical steps involved in a full bathroom renovation:

  • Initial Consultation & Design: Your bathroom renovation begins with a site inspection and design consultation. Here, layout changes, aesthetic goals, functionality, and budget are discussed. 3D design renderings may be created to help visualise your new space.

  • Demolition: The existing bathroom is carefully stripped out, including removing old tiles, fixtures, cabinetry, flooring, and sometimes walls—depending on the design plan.

  • Plumbing & Electrical Rough-In: New plumbing and electrical lines are installed or repositioned to suit the updated layout. This includes shower, vanity, toilet, lighting, and power point placements.

  • Wall Preparation & Waterproofing: Walls and floors are repaired or replaced if needed, then professionally waterproofed to Australian standards to prevent future leaks or damage.

  • Tiling & Surface Finishes: Your selected tiles are installed on floors and walls. Choices include ceramic, porcelain, stone, or mosaic tiles in various layouts and styles.

  • Fixture Installation: All new fixtures—including toilet, vanity, mirror, bath, shower screen, taps, showerhead, and towel rails—are installed. This is when the bathroom starts to come to life.

  • Painting & Finishing Touches: Walls and ceilings are painted, trims are fitted, silicone is applied, and final clean-up is performed. Optional accessories such as heated towel rails, storage niches, or underfloor heating are also installed.

  • Final Inspection & Handover: A final walkthrough ensures everything is functioning, clean, and finished to a high standard. Your new bathroom is ready to use!

BATHROOM RENOVATION VS COSMETIC UPGRADE

Scope of Work

A full renovation involves structural and functional changes—replacing waterproofing, relocating plumbing, upgrading electricals, and installing all new fixtures. Cosmetic upgrades may only include replacing tapware, repainting, or installing a new vanity or mirror without altering plumbing or tiles.

Renovations allow for layout reconfiguration (e.g., moving the shower to a different wall or adding a freestanding tub), while cosmetic changes are surface-level and aesthetic.

Durability and Value

A complete bathroom renovation not only improves daily usability but also adds significant long-term value to your property. All plumbing and waterproofing are brought up to modern standards, reducing the risk of future leaks or repairs.

Cosmetic updates may be faster and cheaper upfront but won’t address underlying issues or deliver the same durability and resale value.

Design Flexibility

With a full renovation, you're not limited by existing layouts or fixture placements. You can reimagine your space completely—create a walk-in shower, add a double vanity, or install storage that actually works.

Cosmetic upgrades are generally constrained by the existing setup and may not improve overall functionality.

Cost

Bathroom renovation costs vary based on size, design, and inclusions. A basic renovation may start from $15,000–$20,000, while mid-range to luxury renovations can exceed $30,000 depending on finishes and features. While the upfront investment is higher than cosmetic upgrades, the result is a brand-new, highly functional, and modern space built to last.
