You may be dreaming of a spa-like bathroom renovation, but the cost of a complete bathroom renovation can be a nightmare. Since bathroom renovation costs in Australia are more than $17,000 on average, you may wonder how you can get a high-quality bathroom renovation for less.

How Much Should I Spend On A Bathroom Renovation?
If you’re renovating a bathroom as part of selling a house, you’ll want renovations to be in proportion to the home’s value, which will add double the cost to the home’s value. Bathroom renovations can be a strong selling point for houses in NSW, increasing the value of homes with bathroom renovations by 10 per cent.
Spending too much on bathroom renovations may backfire if luxury additions aren’t to homebuyers’ tastes. A $3,000 free-standing stone bathtub may not appeal to everyone.
However, if you are renovating your bathroom for your enjoyment and aren’t planning to sell your home anytime soon, add the luxuries you can afford. Having a relaxing, luxurious bathroom can add pleasure to your daily life and make your home a haven.
What Determines The Cost Of A Bathroom Renovation?
The cost of bathroom renovations depends on the size of the bathroom, so renovations for larger bathrooms are likely to cost more than for smaller bathrooms. Other factors of bathroom renovation costs include
- Whether structural work is included.
- Costs of bathroom tiles, fixtures, and fittings.
- Are windows or a skylight included?
- Will plumbing locations change as part of the new bathroom design?
- Will bathroom lighting changes and other electrical work be needed?
Replacing an existing bathtub and shower head will be less expensive than a bathroom design that includes moving the bathtub location or replacing it with a shower stall.
Ways To Save On Bathroom Renovation Costs
Saving money on bathroom renovation costs can keep your bathroom renovations under $10,000. These considerations will help you get a good-quality professional bathroom renovation for less.
Plan Your Bathroom Renovation
The most important part of a bathroom renovation is the planning and forethought going into the project. Bathroom design is essential to renovating a bathroom since having a plan for every square metre means that the scope of your project won’t drift.
You’ll also be able to save money on the power points of your bathroom renovation since you’ll have a plan and know everything your bathroom renovation will include.
Walls and Floor
Are you taking out a wall to change the dimensions of your bathroom or staying within the same bathroom boundaries? Deciding on the flooring and wall treatments for your bathroom will set the tone for the entire project. Will you tile the walls or paint them? What colours will you use? What bathroom flooring will you choose?
Browse bathroom design photos online to see what’s popular. Classic options tend to look more luxurious than trendy ones. The choices you make on walls, flooring, and bathroom tiles will determine the luxurious look of your bathroom renovation.
Fixtures and Fittings
Choices from showerheads and taps to drawer pulls, and towel rails are key points within a bathroom renovation. These are low in price compared to other changes but can result in a luxury bathroom look.
Make selective splurges on these items and others, such as a shower screen, and your bathroom renovation will look more high-end even if you keep your bathroom renovations under $10,000.

Cosmetic Changes
Replacing a worn bathtub with a new one isn’t nearly as expensive as a full bathroom renovation, but the cosmetic changes will make your bathroom look new and luxurious.
