The Bathroom is one of the biggest impact rooms in your home. A place where great materials, design and practicality all come together.

Custom Bathroom Renovation Inspiration is practically everywhere. From traditional magazines to social media channels and TV shows, ideas and inspiration for your bathroom renovation can be endless.

My favourite Bathroom renovation ideas have always come from restaurants and bars. How can I mimic these tiles, colours and trends in my bathroom at home and make my own bathroom renovation one to remember!

1.       Bathroom Renovation Budget 

Coming up with custom Bathroom Renovation costs can require some planning and preparation. Bathroom renovation ideas can be endless, so can the budget you need to create a unique space. 

A custom Bathroom Renovation cost can vary quite a lot. It’s not uncommon to find a $20 tap and also a $200 tap. Work out your essential Bathroom Renovation items and the costs associated with these. 

A custom bathroom renovation will also require most of the trades needed to build a house, Carpenter, Plumber, Electrician, Cabinet Maker, Plasterer and a Painter are all required to bring a Bathroom Renovation together. 

One method to cost saving in a bathroom renovation space, is to keep plumbing fixtures where they are. This will reduce the labour costs in moving plumbing pipes.

For a full large bathroom renovation in Melbourne, the bathroom renovation cost estimate would be around $25,000. There are obvious huge variables in this Bathroom renovation cost for Melbourne, although this is a cost figure you can start to look at.

2.       Style of your Bathroom

Like the endless custom bathroom renovation ideas, you need to choose your style of the bathroom. Google searches, Instagram and even the bigger Australia wide retail stores have huge amounts of style inspiration to guide you along your bathroom renovation journey!

New tile services allow you to have samples sent to you directly and even a consultant to help with your bathroom renovation ideas. There are plenty of bathroom idea stores throughout Melbourne.

3.       Have a bathroom renovation pros and cons list

Think about the bathrooms, tiles and layouts of old homes, friend’s houses, restaurants and bars. What is it about these bathrooms that you love and what is it about these bathrooms that you dislike? A scrapbook of bathroom renovation ideas is also a beneficial inspiration idea. Every time you see a picture of something you like, add it to your bathroom renovation scrapbook. Even if your bathroom renovation design ideas are a bit indiscive the place, a common theme in colours or patterns will start to appear.

Having a love it and hate it list can help you on your path to make your own bathroom renovation space come together.

4.       Think Structural components of your bathroom

Make sure what you want achieved for your custom bathroom renovation, can actually be done.

While most things can be accomplished with an endless budget, you need to carefully consider what, if any, structural building work is needed.

Is there a load bearing wall?

Is that a timber wall?

Can the plumbing be moved?

Can the electrical be moved?

You need to think about what is behind walls, up in the roof or under the floor for any unexpected structural issues that may arise from your bathroom renovation.

Don’t discount previous bathroom damage, there may have had some water leaks, absent waterproofing which may have entered structural components of the room and require some remedial work. It is not uncommon to find water damage to floor and wall frames once the demolition has been completed a bathroom renovation.

5.       Time to complete your bathroom renovation

Although the bathroom is generally a small room, don’t confuse this with a small time frame to complete your bathroom renovation.

The building process can take a while, I like to give our customers a timeline of around 6-8 weeks for a full bathroom renovation. With a small space, it’s often that only one trade can do their own work while there, combine that with you living in the home and the process of completing your bathroom renovation can take longer than you hope for.
