Bathroom renovation costs in Canberra

According to the Housing Industry Association, the average cost of a bathroom renovation in 2016 was approximately $18000. Remember, this is just an average – yours could be more or less.

A budget renovation in a small bathroom can be as low as $16000 while a major renovation in a larger bathroom can cost $25,000 or more.

There are good reasons for this large disparity in pricing, such as:

• Structural work
• Moving plumbing
• The cost of tiles and fittings
• Additions such as a skylight or window
• Insulation
• The size of the bathroom
• Whether the bathroom is timber framed or brick
• Whether the floor is timber, suspended concrete or concrete on ground
• The amount of electrical work required
• Complex room shapes

Because of these and other factors, bathroom renovations are generally divided into categories:

• Standard: This costs between $16,000 and $25,000 for the Building work
• Premium/luxury: This costs over $25,000 for the building works
