Do you want to know how long does it take for a bathroom renovation?
It’s always a good idea to get a rough timeline for your bathroom renovator before you get started. While no two bathrooms are the same (because every bathroom is unique) we’re going to attempt to give you a projected timeframe of how long it takes to renovate a small bathroom and a full-size bathroom. In this article, we’re going to break down each renovation stage and give you an estimated time frame for completion.
Step 1: Demolition of old bathroom
Time frame: 2-5 days
If your bathroom is made up of timber and sheet walls, demolition can take a mere two to three days at most. If your bathroom was constructed using solid bricks then it might require a bit more time to demolish. Keep in mind that during this stage, if you’re planning on changing the outlay of your bathroom, new structural beams will be added at this point.
Step 2: Plumbing and electrical wiring installation
Time frame: 1-4 days
After demolition has taken place, and the bathroom is now a skeleton, plumbers and electricians are brought in to re-route and restructure any plumbing lines and wiring to fit in with your new bathroom plan. For small bathrooms this can take a day to do. If you are changing the outlay of the old bathroom, this will require plumbing to be re-routed and wiring to be re-directed to fit in with the new design.
Step 3: Relining of new bathroom
Time frame: 1-3 days
Step 4: Waterproofing new bathroom
In this step, the new walls and new ceiling will be sheeted, set and prepared for the next stage. This can all be done within three days. Some homes requirer rendering which takes longer due to drying time.
Time frame 2-3 days
Waterproofing is arguably the most important part of your entire bathroom renovation process. Done right it should ensure a leak-proof room for many years to come. Failure by the waterproofer to do their job properly will lead to a very big problem. Always work with reputable bathroom renovation experts. Allow up to three days for the waterproof coating to dry.
Step 5: Tiling of new bathroom
Time frame: 1-3 days
In this step, tiles will be installed, as well as doors and new walls. Once this is finished,
Step 6: Fitout and painting of new bathroom
Time frame 1-3 days
This is the home stretch, where the final finishing touches are laid up in the new bathroom. With the major basins and fixtures installed and the tiling and sheeting all done, the bathroom can now be painted according to your specifications. Once this is done, all minor new fixtures such as tapware rails, toilet paper holders, mirrors and other trims can now be installed.
So how long does it all take?
In essence renovation of a small bathroom should take up to four weeks maximum, with a full bathroom renovation taking anywhere from six to seven weeks.
