AI summary

A bathroom renovation is a complex project with costs ranging from under $5,000 for cosmetic DIY to over $45,000 for a premium finish. Key cost factors include size, materials, and labour.

You can hire a bathroom renovation company for a managed service or self-manage to save money. The process involves planning, plumbing, electrical, and waterproofing before installing fixtures. Major layout or plumbing changes often require council consent, so keeping the existing layout is a great way to save.
