Bathroom Renovations Costs in New Zealand

We often get asked about the cost of renovating a bathroom and the simple answer is that you can spend as little or as much as you want, depending on the finish you would like to achieve in your bathroom. The average cost to renovate a bathroom in New Zealand is roughly around $10,000 but you can spend a lot more or a lot less. We have pulled together three different bathroom renovation packs below from our superb value range right through to our luxury bathroom package.

A new bathroom doesn’t have to cost the earth. There is so much you can do with your bathroom renovation, no matter the size of your budget – it’s all about being creative. Of course, there are some factors that will also impact the cost of your bathroom renovation. Size is perhaps the biggest influencing factor. Just because you might have a small bathroom, however, doesn’t mean it can’t be luxurious. Check out our recent post and discover 10 of the best bathroom designs for small spaces.

Add value to your house with a new bathroom

Renovating your bathroom can add a lot of value to your house but it does come at a cost. As you can see from the different packages above, you can spend anywhere from around $5,000 to $60,000+ on renovating your bathroom and that’s before you take into account any contractor costs. A bathroom renovation can also take a long time so getting your plans sorted ahead of time will help you to time manage the project along with your selected contractor (or if you are doing some of the work yourself).

Picking the right tradie for the job

For most people, pricing up the cost of all the fixtures and fittings is just part of a bathroom renovation project and only part of the overall cost of the job. Unless you have a superb range of DIY skills that cover plumbing and electrical work, the chances are you’re going to need to get in at least one tradie to help you with the job. When you’re picking a tradie, it’s a good idea to have a plan of what you want doing mapped out first. Picking out your favourite bathroom fixtures and adding them to your wishlist on the Robertson website can really help to showcase what you are looking to do and will also give the tradie a much better idea of the work they are going to need to carry out.

It goes without saying that you should also look to get at least three quotes for the work so you can get a feel for the cost of getting the work done. Speak to family and friends for recommendations for trustworthy tradies and try and get an independent tradie to quote too. Once you have a quote for the work, this can also help to guide you on your fixtures and fittings; if the quote for the work is less than you budgeted, you can put that extra cashback into your bathroom fixtures and fittings. If the quote is more, then you can always look at different items from our wide range.
