This can only be done by a bathroom specialist that will asses the following in a bathroom: bathroom walls, floors and size of bathroom and functionality of bathroom. After discussing the best bathroom concept with the client, our bathroom consultant would calculate the bathroom renovation cost.

This would not include any building work or changing positions of any fixtures. This will all depend on the bathroom size and products that you choose to change.

Mid-Range Bathroom Renovation Cost ($23 000 -28 500.00)

High End Bathroom Renovation Cost ($35 000 - $75 000.00)

Most high end bathrooms or custom bathrooms concepts would require a council consent for adding fixtures or for waterproofing and this can add additional cost towards your bathroom renovation project. When tiling a bathroom, the amount of preparation work will be calculated to make all walls plumb and level for a superb tiled bathroom. Each bathroom design is different as some clients prefer only to have two walls tiled and others all the walls. This will determine the total cost of the bathroom renovation.

Under floor heating is a great idea for keeping not only your floor warm during the winter months but also keeping your bathroom dry. Led Mirrors with demister lights adds elegance to the bathroom and helps not to fog up when showering or bathing. Modern heated towel rails, and Led down lights with a dimmer switch will set a great relaxing mood after a long day at work. You may consider installing a motion-activated LED strip beneath your vanity, providing soft, automatic lighting at night—perfect for safely navigating the bathroom without the need to switch on bright overhead lights.

All plumbing and construction costs will vary depending on the scope of your new bathroom design. Features such as installing double-glazed windows, removing walls, replacing standard doors with cavity sliders, or modifying the subfloor and ceiling can significantly impact the overall bathroom renovation budget. Additionally, relocating plumbing for bathroom fixtures will also increase renovation costs.

Modern bathroom fixtures will vary in price as per the client preferences.
