The structure and workmanship of any bathroom renovation project will be the key factor when it comes to the financials of the project. The Housing Industry Australia (HIA) stated that:
“…in 2022, the average cost for a bathroom renovation in New South Wales was $22,392.”
This price has risen in recent times, however, mainly due to the increase in material costs. The latest findings from the HIA suggest the standard bathroom renovation cost in a new home these days is $16,430. Homeowners upgrading their bathroom as part of a renovation spend a little bit more, with the average cost being $17,522.
How is the Cost of a Bathroom Renovation Determined?
Bathroom renovations can vary from minor cosmetic enhancements to complete overhauls. A practical approach involves pinpointing aspects you dislike about your current setup, which then guides the necessary changes and associated costs. Consider evaluating:
- Structural and layout adjustments, if needed.
- Updates to lighting and electrical systems.
- Reconfiguration of bathtub and shower placement.
- Refreshing paint, wall tiles, and flooring.
- Upgrading fixtures like wash basins, taps, shower heads, screens, towel rails, and extractor fans.
How to Decide on your Bathroom Renovation Budget
When considering your budget for bathroom renovations, it’s advisable to anticipate expenditures roughly within these ranges:
- For smaller bathrooms, a budget or cosmetic renovation using economical materials and fittings might typically fall between $8,000 to $15,000.
- An average-sized bathroom undergoing a mid-range renovation, featuring materials and fittings of moderate quality, could typically range from $15,000 to $35,000.
- Luxury bathrooms – If aiming for a high-end, premium, or luxury transformation with top-of-the-line materials and fittings, budgeting $35,000 or more would be appropriate.
Extra Costs for your Renovation
In addition to budgeting for your bathroom project, obtaining the necessary permits or permissions is crucial before commencing any work.
Council and Permits:
Before embarking on your bathroom renovation, it’s essential to familiarise yourself with the regulations set forth by your local council. This is particularly important if your plans involve alterations to the floor plan or structural changes, as these typically require a permit. Regulations can vary between councils and states, so thorough research is advised. Your chosen bathroom renovator or plumber can also offer guidance on navigating any bureaucratic hurdles.
Strata Permission:
For residents of strata properties, an additional layer of regulations must be addressed for any modifications affecting common property. As a strata title owner, your ownership extends only to the space within your walls, necessitating approval from the strata committee for even minor renovation projects. Submission of your plans and evidence of employing licensed tradespeople are typically required for approval. It’s important to note that securing approval for renovations can be time-consuming, as projects must be presented at scheduled strata meetings or require the payment for a meeting to approve your renovation.
