Ensuite Renovation Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of renovating an ensuite. It is a small space but a full renovation, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing and fixtures all in a tight area, so cost per square metre is high.
Your ensuite renovation details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
An ensuite costs almost as much as a main bathroom despite being smaller, because waterproofing, plumbing and tiling are fixed jobs regardless of size. Keeping the layout and choosing finishes wisely are the main levers.
💰 Ways to save
- Keep the existing layout, moving plumbing is the biggest avoidable cost.
- Use mid-range tiles with one or two statement pieces to get a premium look for less.
- Get waterproofing done properly by a licensed waterproofer, a leak later costs far more than the saving.
