If you're thinking about renovating your bathroom in Melbourne, you might be wondering when the best time is to start. For many homeowners, summer is the ideal season to begin bathroom renovations, and there are several good reasons why.
At NOW Bathroom Renovations, we specialise in bathroom upgrades across Melbourne. Backed by our Triple Guarantee for Cleanliness, Communication, and Workmanship, we make the renovation process smooth, efficient, and stress-free.. But summer does bring some clear advantages that are worth considering.
Why Summer Works for Bathroom Renovations
1. Better Weather Means Fewer Delays
Summer in Melbourne generally brings dry, warm days. This means fewer interruptions from rain and cold weather, which helps tradies stay on schedule. Tasks like tiling, waterproofing, and painting often rely on steady temperatures and dry conditions to cure or set properly. Less moisture in the air also means less risk of humidity-related issues during and after the renovation.
2. More Flexibility for Households
For many families, summer offers more flexibility. School holidays, public holidays, and the festive break give households more time to plan, prepare, and adapt. You might even go away for a few days while the work is being done. This reduces the impact of being without a bathroom for a short time.
3. Higher Energy to Refresh Your Space
There's something about summer that brings fresh energy. Homeowners often tackle home upgrades during this season to prepare for the new year. A bathroom renovation in summer can help you start the year fresh, both literally and figuratively.
4. Plan for Guests and Entertaining
Melbourne homes often become gathering places over summer. Whether it’s family staying over or friends dropping in, a clean, modern bathroom adds comfort and style. Renovating ahead of holiday visitors means you can be proud of your space when it matters most.
Is a Bathroom Renovation Worth It?
Many homeowners ask whether the investment is worth it. According to real estate experts, bathroom renovations can return up to 60-70% of their cost in increased property value. Updated bathrooms are one of the most sought-after features when buyers are looking at homes.
At NOW Bathroom Renovations, we utilise trusted, leading brands such as Beaumont Tiles, Better Bathware, Laminex, Polytec and Reece to deliver long-lasting quality and finishes.
Here’s why it’s a smart move:
