Planning a bathroom renovation is exciting. It’s your chance to create a space that feels fresh, works better, and adds real value to your home.
At NOW Bathroom Renovations, we believe the process should feel clear, enjoyable, and rewarding from the start. That’s why we’ve created this simple budget guide to help you understand what you can expect at different price points. Whether you’re planning a modest refresh or a complete transformation, we’ll help you make smart decisions that fit your budget.
What Affects Your Renovation Budget?
Every bathroom is different. The cost depends on a few key things:
- Size of the bathroom
- Condition of the existing structure
- Layout changes
- Plumbing and electrical needs
- Material and fixture choices
- Type of flooring (timber or concrete subfloor)
- Level of finish and detail
To get a clearer idea of what your project might cost, use our quick and easy Estimator Tool.
Types of Bathroom Renovation Budgets
Based on hundreds of real projects, we’ve grouped bathroom renovations into three clear price ranges. These give you a great starting point to understand what’s possible.
Budget Range: $25,000 - $35,000
This is a great starting point for a full renovation. It works well if you’re happy to keep the current layout and just want a fresh, functional, and good-looking bathroom. Plumbing stays mostly where it is, and the fittings are selected from our entry-level range. The finishes are clean, functional, and simple.
You can still include some nice features while keeping costs manageable.
You would possibly have three or four of the following inclusions:
- Entry-level fittings and finishes
- Semi-frameless shower screen
- Tiling to the shower and mid-wall height
- Stone or wall-hung vanity
- Recessed mirror cabinet
- Heat lamp or heated towel ladder
- Twin rail shower
- Freestanding bathtub (in some cases)
- Floor-to-ceiling tiling in small spaces
This range gives you a great upgrade that feels clean, modern, and complete.
Mid-Range: $35,000 - $45,000
With a bit more budget, you open the door to more layout options, higher-quality finishes, and extra touches that add comfort and style.
You might combine two rooms into one, replace a window, or update a concrete slab floor. Fittings included would be selected from our mid level range.
You would possibly have five or six of the following inclusions:
- Floor-to-ceiling tiling throughout
- More plumbing or layout changes
- Custom or mid-range fittings
- Frameless shower screen or panel
- Coloured tapware (matte black or similar)
- Underfloor heating
- Custom vanity or storage
- Sensor lighting or tapware
- LED lighting or pendant lights
- Wall removal (if needed)
- New window
This range suits people who want more choice, more flexibility, and a bathroom that truly feels like theirs.
Premium Range: $45,000+
If you’re thinking big and want the full experience, this range gives you total freedom.
You might be working with a larger space, concrete walls, or an apartment. You may want custom cabinetry, high-end finishes, or smart features. This range is perfect for creating a standout result. Fittings included could be selected from our higher end brands and colours.
You could have an unlimited number of the following inclusions:
- Full layout redesigns
- Wall removal or room extensions
