Downsize Renovations That Feel Like an Upgrade

Thinking about downsizing but want to keep all the luxury and functionality you’re used to? We’ll help create a custom bathroom design that not only suits your space but supports your retirement lifestyle and long-term comfort.

Budgeting, Selections and Project Managing Bathroom Modifications

Just like with our kitchen and bathroom renovations, we take care of every detail from plumbing and waterproofing to tiling and final fit-off. You’ll receive a dedicated Project Manager who oversees the job from start to finish—keeping it on time, on budget, and to our high standard.

We work with you to select:

• Tapware
• Vanities
• Toilets
• Tiling
• Fixtures
• Accessibility features

All suited to your needs, taste, and budget.

What’s an average bathroom renovation cost? Well, they usually start from $10,000 with the average being about $15,000 – 20,000. Small, cosmetic changes may only set you back $5,000 however premium bathroom renovations can be upwards of $40,000.

There are many factors that will determine your overall renovation budget, these include:

– The fittings you choose (budget or premium)

– The materials you choose (tiles aren’t all created equally)

– The size and structure of the area (size does matter when it comes to price)

– The cost of your tradies

– Relocation costs if required

We think its always a good idea to factor in a 20% buffer in case of:

– Variations (you might change your mind when tapware gets delivered)

– Structural changes (actually, I want the toilet there instead…). These can blow out a budget.

– Demolition and rubbish removal

– Material price increases.
