How much does it cost to renovate a bathroom in 2019?

How much does it cost to renovate a bathroom in Auckland?
Whether you have lived in the same house for several years or just purchased an older home you may be facing the need to renovate that old bathroom. As most Aucklanders know renovating a bathroom can be one of the most expensive renovations that can be undertaken, so it is only natural that one of the first questions people have when considering renovating their bathroom is: what is the average cost of a new bathroom renovation in 2019?

However, that is also one of the most difficult questions to answer since renovating a bathroom means different things to different people.

For example, a major bathroom renovation that involves changing the layout of bathroom, tiling the bathroom, purchasing new bathroom appliances and fixtures, changing plumbing and electrical work then you may find yourself spending an average of $13,000 to $18,000 for a mid-range bathroom.

On the other hand, if you are only planning on a new coat of paint and a few other small changes, the average cost of a new bathroom renovation could only run a couple of thousand of dollars.

However, since most bathroom renovations falls somewhere in between, the average cost of a new bathroom renovation will fall somewhere between these two extremes.

While the average cost of a new bathroom renovation can change from job to job and situation to situation, what you are really interested in is what that bathroom renovation is going to cost you. Here at Superior Renovations we have some tips to help you determine the cost of your bathroom renovation.

• Start by determining the purpose of your bathroom renovation. Do you need more space? Does your bathroom need to be modernized to fit with the décor of the rest of your home? Once you determine your purpose you will have a better idea of what you will need to accomplish your goal.
• Make a list of everything you need to remodel such as fixtures, lighting, paint, tiles, cabinetry, flooring and more.

Tips for reducing the average cost of a new bathroom renovation

You also need to keep in mind that the average cost of a new bathroom renovation is just that - an average. However, there are some ways to reduces your bathroom renovations costs including:

• Your bathroom cabinets - Instead of replacing those bathroom cabinets consider restaining them or painting them in a new modern colour. You can also refinish your bathtub and sink and give it a new bright look.
• Go for new faucets and handles instead of all new bathroom appliances - Many times simply changing your sink and bath tub handles and faucets is enough to give your bathroom a more modern look.
• Go lighter - You don't have to actual enlarge your bathroom to give it a larger look, try doing your bathroom in a lighter color. This will make your bathroom look and feel larger without actually tearing out any walls.
