How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Auckland?
It depends on heaps of factors. A basic bathroom renovation with standard fittings might start around $15,000–$20,000. A mid-range renovation with better materials and fixtures could be $25,000–$35,000, and a high-end luxury bathroom could be $40,000–$60,000 or more. We’ll always give you a detailed quote that breaks down what you’re getting for your money. See what affects the price.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations take 2–3 weeks, depending on size and complexity. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront, not an optimistic number we’ll blow past on day three.
Do you manage all the trades?
Yes. Plumbers, electricians, tilers, waterproofers, plasterers and, when needed, chippies for new cabinetry. You get one point of contact, one team and one company that’s responsible if anything needs fixing.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
Occasionally, in older homes, we find something unexpected when we open up the walls. We’ll talk to you about it before we go any further, not just add it to the bill.
We only have one bathroom. What happens while you work?
We’ll talk through the options. Sometimes we can stage the work so at least the toilet stays working for longer. Some people use a neighbour’s bathroom or grab a gym membership for a few weeks. It’s temporary, and the end result is worth it.
Will our house be a mess?
No. We lay floor protection along the path from your bathroom to outside, and we’ll tell you which walls and doorways might need covering. We tidy up at the end of each day, and at the end of the project we do a full clean and remove all materials and waste.
Can I change something during the project?
Yes, just ask. We’ll talk through whether it’s possible and what it means for timing and budget.
Do you build accessible bathrooms?
Yes: walk-in showers with no step, grab rails attached to studs, non-slip flooring, lever taps, higher toilets and somewhere safe to sit in the shower, built to the relevant New Zealand standards. More about accessible bathrooms.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole Auckland region: the North Shore, West, East and South Auckland, and everywhere in between.
