Typically, this project will cost you around $18,000 to $25,000. Of course, it could go higher or lower depending on different factors like the size, the amount of work it demands, and the service provider you entrust it with.

A 2-square meter bathroom renovation in Australia may cost you around $6,000 to $10,000 while a 10-square meter bathroom or bigger will may cost you as much as $25,000 and possibly even more.

When you renovate a bathroom, you don’t only improve its aesthetics. You also upgrade its function, comfort, and energy use. Aside from the size of the area to be renovated, you also have to consider how many professionals are involved in the project – plumber, electrician, carpenter, tile installer, and even cleaners.

Moreover, you have to take into account the cost of the fixtures, accessories, fittings, tiles, and other add-ons. Premium-quality materials and customised designs and features make the overall cost even more expensive. If you opt to turn your bathroom into a luxury bathroom, then expect even higher costs.

Making small upgrades in a very outdated bathroom can make a lot of difference to the overall look of your home. Many homebuyers often get attracted to a property with bathrooms that are in good condition. This means if you do upgrades, you might be able to sell your home a little faster, but you may not always get high returns simply because of it. Overtime, perhaps, in the future, you will be able to sell it at a higher price.

A typical bathroom renovation project can be completed in an average of 23 days. Bigger bathrooms or luxury bathrooms may require longer time to finish. In fact, some can last up to a month or more.

Basically, the number of days a bathroom renovation can be completed depends on the size of the area, fixtures and accessories, number of people working, and the amount of labour. Some bathrooms take longer time to demolish or strip off.

• Do minor upgrades.
  Do you have limited budget for the project? Then do minor upgrades instead. Simple repainting or adding some accessories on the bathroom wall or changing the taps or the lights can do magic.

• Don’t transfer electrical and plumbing fixtures.
  Leave electrical and plumbing fixtures in their original places. Transferring them requires expert hands, which means additional costs.

• Recycle and reuse.
  Some outdated fixtures and accessories may be reused and recycled. You can have them restored or repaired to make them look new and function properly again instead of throwing them away. This saves you lots of money.

• Do it yourself?
  This is perhaps the cheapest way to do bathroom renovations. You save on labour costs, and you only have to worry about the materials and supplies. This is, however, only applicable if you have the skills, experience, and the right tools to get the job done. Remember that when bathroom renovations are done wrong, you will most likely end up paying more for repairs.
