AI summary
A bathroom renovation is a major project, with costs from $20,000 for an entry-level job to over $45,000 for a premium finish. Price is influenced by size, materials, and whether council consent is needed for moving plumbing or walls.
You can manage the project yourself to save money or hire a bathroom renovation company to coordinate tradies. The process involves careful planning, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, and installing fixtures. Always factor in potential consent costs and delays.
