AI summary

Planning a bathroom renovation? Costs in NZ typically range from $20,000-$35,000 for an entry-level job to over $45,000 for a premium finish, influenced by size, materials, and labour.

A key decision is whether to self-manage the project or hire a bathroom renovation company. Moving plumbing or walls will likely require council consent, adding time and cost. To save money, consider keeping the existing layout, managing the project yourself, and choosing budget-friendly fixtures.
