How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Melbourne? (2025 Guide)

A complete breakdown of bathroom renovation costs in Melbourne — from budget refreshes to luxury master ensuites.

Cost Guide · 8 min read

A bathroom renovation in Melbourne typically ranges from $18,000 for a cosmetic refresh to over $120,000 for a luxury master ensuite. The actual cost depends on the size of the space, the quality of materials chosen, the level of structural change required, and the complexity of plumbing and waterproofing.

Refresh ($18k–$30k): Replacing the vanity, tapware, toilet and shower screen, plus repainting and re-tiling select areas. Ideal when the existing layout works and you simply want a cleaner, more modern look.

Mid-range ($30k–$55k): A full strip-out and rebuild with premium tiles, custom joinery, stone benchtops and quality fittings. This is the most popular tier for Melbourne homeowners.

Premium ($55k–$120k+): Designer fittings, heated floors, freestanding baths, bespoke joinery and natural stone throughout. Often paired with structural changes such as relocating the shower or moving walls.

What's almost always included in our fixed-price quotes: certified Class III waterproofing, licensed plumbing and electrical, premium tile installation, full site protection, daily clean, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Hidden cost watch-outs: structural rot once tiles come off, asbestos in older homes, and changes to plumbing locations. We allow for these in the consultation phase so they're never a surprise.
