Let’s talk numbers, because this is where most people hesitate.
| Renovation type | Average cost range | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Budget bathroom renovation | $23,500 to $28,000 | Basic upgrades, same layout |
| Mid-range bathroom remodel | $28,000 to $40,000 | Better finishes, improved layout |
| Luxury bathroom renovation | $40,000+ | Custom design, premium fixtures |
Where your bathroom lands depends on a few key things, because two bathrooms of the same size can be very different jobs once the tiles come off. These are the factors that matter most:
| Cost factor | Lower end of the scope | Higher end of the scope |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom size | Compact bathroom or ensuite | Large main bathroom with more tiled area |
| Layout | Fixtures stay where they are | Moving the shower, toilet or walls |
| Hidden condition | Sound floor and framing | Water damage or rot from failed waterproofing |
| Services | Existing plumbing and power reused | New plumbing runs, extra power points, new exhaust ducting |
| Finishes | Quality mid-range tiles and tapware | Premium tiles, custom vanity, freestanding bath |
