The cost of complete bathroom renovation in Australia can go from $20,000 to $27,000. This could go way lower or higher depending on the size of the area to be renovated. The rule of the thumb is – the bigger the bathroom, the higher the cost.
Before you decide on renovating your bathroom, you have to be financially prepared and assess all options, there is no doubt about it. The investment is far from cheap, therefore you want to ensure you get maximum value. The overall cost of the project depends on different factors – the size of the bathroom, the materials, fittings, fixtures, furniture, and accessories you choose.Additionally, the labour costs could go higher or lower depending on the amount of work needed to be done based on the bathroom’s original floor plan. If you want to build a luxury bathroom, you have to bear the cost. Premium-quality materials are undeniably expensive, but they are guaranteed to last very long.
Major bathroom renovations can significantly increase the overall value of your property – 100%. However, when done just before reselling it, it won’t have that much impact on your return on investment. Nevertheless, when you sell an updated bathroom in the future, you will most likely get around 3 to 4 percent ROI the most.
Renovation projects of a 5 by 7 feet bathroom may be completed in around 13 to 25 days. The duration depends mainly on the size of the bathroom to be renovated, the amount of work needed to be done, and the number of people doing the tasks. Larger bathrooms, such as the master bathroom, may require many days more.
Before you decide to go on with the project, you have to set a budget limit and make sure you stick with it. Here are some tips to on how to save money on remodelling the bathroom while making it look as good as new: Minor upgrades could make major changes in the overall aesthetics of the area. For example, you may have the walls repainted; add some new shelves, rails, and other accessories, or add tile overlays and replace or repair taps.Recycle fixtures and fittings that are still in good condition. You can have them refinished or re-enamelled to restore its look.Avoid removing and re-installing plumbing fixtures as it means additional expenses. You can have them repaired or restored instead.Doing the simple remodelling project on your own could help you cut save a lot on labour cost, but you must have the skills, knowledge, experience, and the right tools to get the job done.
Plumbing and tile work are the most expensive parts in bathroom renovation. Aside from the fact that it requires tedious labour and expert hands, you also have to spend a lot on high-quality materials to make sure that they will work efficiently and will last long. Both of these can be found in the shower. The shower can be the most expensive area in the bathroom. Aside from the plumbing and the tile work, it also needs customised glass shower enclosure, which can be very pricey. However, other areas can be as expensive or even more depending on your preferences.
Do-it-yourself waterproofing – even the smallest water leaks can create serious damage to the entire bathroom. This task is better left to the experts to avoid costly repairs in the future. Poor ventilation – mould and mildew love to thrive in poorly ventilated areas such as the bathroom. Open windows and exhaust fans are a must-have.Improper spacing – balance aesthetics, functionality, and safety when remodelling a bathroom. Don’t try to squeeze in everything. Less clutter means more space to move around safely. Consider wall-hung cabinets to save space.Wrong materials – moisture and temperature levels in the bathroom can change pretty quickly. This is why it is a must that you choose the right kind of materials that are designed to withstand all this.
The most favourite choice of home and business owners when it comes to bathroom flooring is vinyl tiles because it is easy to install durable, and waterproof. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are also popular choices with its stylish designs and durability, but may not be as comfortable to bare feet. Floor heaters may be required.Other options for bathroom flooring include glass tiles, plastic laminate tiles, stone tiles, cork tiles, and linoleum floor tiles. Each has its own special features that could satisfy one’s unique needs and preferences.
