Small bathroom questions.
How much does a small bathroom renovation cost in Melbourne?
A small bathroom renovation in Melbourne typically costs $20,000 to $30,000 for a like-for-like refresh, and $30,000 to $45,000 if you change the layout or upgrade tiles, tapware and joinery.
How long does a small bathroom renovation take?
From demolition to handover, expect three to five weeks on site for a small bathroom. Add four to eight weeks before that for selections, ordering and scheduling.
Can I keep the existing layout to save money?
Yes. Keeping the toilet, basin and shower in their current positions is the single biggest way to reduce cost on a small bathroom, it avoids re-routing plumbing and re-doing the waterproofing membrane.
What makes a small bathroom feel bigger?
Frameless shower screens, wall-hung vanities, larger format tiles, recessed niches instead of shelves, mirror cabinets, and a single continuous floor tile running into the shower.
Do I still need waterproofing certificates on a small bathroom?
Yes. Every wet area in Victoria, regardless of size, requires compliant waterproofing with flood testing and a certificate. It is non-negotiable and protects you at resale.
