Bathroom Renovation Cost
New Zealanders love to renovate their bathrooms, and it’s easy to see why. Renovations are one of the most effective ways to raise the value of a home and a wonderful way to improve the home for your family.
Every renovation is different and costs vary according to what has done. Typically customers spend $3k to $12k on a renovation, and perhaps double those figures for an entirely new bathroom. Of course, the budget is in your control, and some of our customers have spent many times these amounts on bathrooms we have installed in very upmarket premises.
Bathroom Renovation Design
Our bathroom renovation team will will walk you through the design process, covering everything from styles and layout, appliances, cabinetry, surfaces and finishes to energy saving ideas and smart technology.
When remodelling a bathroom, the first steps to consider are the room’s existing layout, your family’s lifestyle, and your budget. Think function, efficiency, style and longevity. Ultimately, a great bathroom will ground the home, accommodate your cooking needs and provide a fabulous atmosphere for entertaining – plus offer plenty of storage.
As we begin the design process, consider the following:
Lifestyle
- Who cooks and prepares meals?
- What type of cooking happens in your bathroom?
- How do you shop for groceries? i.e. bulk, frozen
- Where do you dine throughout the day?
- Where do your guests gather?
- Are there other tasks going on in the bathroom? i.e children’s homework? breakfast, watching T.V
Size
Depending on your budget and architecture, the size of your bathroom will often dictate the layout, we want to help you make the most efficient space possible.
- How many people live in the home?
- Is there room for a breakfast bar or bathroom island?
- Do you have enough storage space?
- How effective is your bathroom when more than one person is cooking?
- Do you have enough space to interact with guests?
Layout
Think outside the box. Don’t feel married to your bathroom’s existing footprint, sometimes it’s worth making structural adjustments depending on the the return on investment. As you consider bathroom layout, take time to think about what you like about your current bathroom.
- Is the bathroom best suited to U shape, L shape or Galley?
- What’s currently working? What’s not?
- Does your existing layout best accommodate your cooking routine?
- Can we extend the bathroom surfaces or layout by knocking out a wall?
- Can we place the windows and doors in a better place to make the most of sunlight.
Style
- What colour theme do you envision? Do you prefer neutral or bold colours?
- How can you make your bathroom more interesting?
- What do you want your bathroom to say about you?
- How would you like your bathroom to feel? i.e. warm and rustic, or sophisticated and classy
Appliances
- What equipment do you need?
- What do you like to cook?
- Do you enjoy baking?
- How much time are you spending cleaning?
Infrastructure
This is about the guts of your bathroom. Depending on factors such as age and layout, we might need to rework electrical or plumbing in areas. This is so we can accommodate new appliances, lighting, etc
- How does your bathroom function?
- Does it have enough ventilation?
- How energy efficient is your bathroom?
- Is there ample lighting?
- Do you have enough power sockets to accommodate your needs?
Floor
- Is your current floor sagging, fading or bubbling?
- Does your floor lead and invite the eye up to the bathroom?
- How easy is your floor to clean?
- Do you have pets?
