Note: These prices reflect our experience with renovations on the Gold Coast as of March 2025. Costs may differ depending on individual project needs and preferences.

What Affects the Cost of a Bathroom Renovation?

Size of the Bathroom: Larger spaces require more materials and labour.
Layout Changes: The more plumbing and structural changes required, the higher the cost.
Tiling Choices: Full-height tiling and designer feature walls add to the overall cost.
Material Selection: Premium tiles, fixtures, and vanities increase costs.
Custom Features: Bespoke cabinetry, integrated LED lighting, and custom niches raise costs.

How to Get the Best Value for Your Budget

No matter your budget, there are ways to get the most out of your renovation:

Assess if Layout Changes Are Necessary: Keeping plumbing in its existing position can significantly reduce costs.

Optimise Tiling Choices: Tiling all walls to full height adds to expenses. Limiting tiling to wet areas or opting for feature tiles strategically can balance cost and style.

Choose Classic, Cost-Effective Fixtures: Standard chrome tapware is more affordable and timeless, retaining its look longer than trend-based finishes.

Invest in High-Quality Waterproofing: This is one of the most critical aspects of a renovation. A well-sealed bathroom prevents costly repairs down the track.

Select Durable, Affordable Materials: Consider high-quality ceramic or porcelain tiles that offer a premium look without the high price tag of natural stone.

Plan Storage Smartly: Recessed niches in showers or simple cabinetry solutions can add convenience without unnecessary costs.
