What a bathroom renovation costs in Melbourne
A full bathroom renovation in Melbourne, the main bathroom with a bath, shower, vanity and toilet, is priced on the wet-area rebuild: the waterproofing membrane, the floor and wall tiling, the plumbing, and the fixtures, with the largest variable being whether the layout is kept or the fittings are moved. Leaving the plumbing where it is keeps the cost down, while relocating the bath, shower or vanity needs new pipe runs, so the layout choice sets the figure before the finishes do.
Renovating a bathroom in a Victorian or Edwardian period home is a common Melbourne job and adds cost, because the old floor, often timber, must be sound to carry the wet-area load, and heritage fabric is worked around carefully. The waterproofing is the critical, licensed element, laid to standard under the tiles, and the cold, damp winter makes a good exhaust fan and heating, such as a heated towel rail or underfloor heating, worth including so the room is warm and does not grow mould. Fixtures and finishes swing the figure from a basic suite to premium tiling. Competitive trade labour just below Sydney's keeps the cost reasonable.
A bathroom renovation is licensed work: the waterproofing by a licensed waterproofer or tiler, the water and drainage by a licensed plumber, and any lighting, fan or heating by a licensed electrician, in Victoria under the Victorian Building Authority. For a Melbourne home, the clearest way to price a full bathroom renovation is by the waterproofing and tiling, the plumbing, and whether the layout moves, with period-home work and winter warmth the factors.
