How Much Does it Cost to Renovate a Bathroom in Australia?

Bathroom renovations are increasingly becoming popular across the country. The desire to have a modern, chic, and sophisticated bathroom has seen scores of homeowners engaging bathroom renovation teams to carry out their building projects. If you’re one of these homeowners, and need some rough figures to help workout a renovation budget, we’re more than happy to help you out.

How much does the average bathroom renovation cost?

According to the Housing Industry Association, in 2018, the average cost of renovating a bathroom in Australia was $17,522. It’s interesting to note that the difference wasn’t too much between renovating a bathroom ($17,522) and installing a completely new bathroom in a new home ($16,430).

These figures are to be used as a rough guide, as the actual cost of your bathroom renovation might be more or less depending on just what it is you need done. Obviously if all you want is waterproofing and re-tile your project will not be as expensive as those opting for a full bathroom renovation.

How much for a luxury bathroom renovation?

Luxury bathrooms can cost upwards of $25,000. What tends to drive the cost of luxury bathrooms up is the type of bath ware, tap ware, fixtures and features installed into the new bathroom.

High-quality, high-end products are the norm in these circumstances. Usually clients are after a certain type of look and budget is a secondary issue. For example, budget tiles can range from $30 to $55 per square metre, making them a favourable choice for budget-concerned renovators. If you’re going for luxury on the other hand, you’ll likely be looking at the premium-end tiles which can cost anywhere from $60 per square metre!

Additional things that can push up the price include whether or not any structure work needs to be undertaken. We are talking about whether walls need to be knocked out or built.  In most cases, clients insist upon custom made cabinetry to complete the high end look of the new bathroom.

You’ll also need to factor in the size of the bathroom needed to be renovated. Is it an ensuite, or is it a grand family bathroom?

If you want additional luxury touches such as under floor heating, a Jacuzzi, freestanding bathtubs, elaborate lighting and smart technology features such as TVs and DVD players installed, then you can expect to pay a whole lot more for these luxuries. Premium bathtubs are worth several thousand dollars.
