Are you planning on doing a bathroom remodel and wondering how much a small bathroom renovation costs? Even though the bathroom is often one of the smallest sized rooms in your house, given how much time we spend in there each day, you’ll want it to make it a room that you like being in. Depending on whether you are giving your bathroom a minor style makeover or an extensive redesign and overhaul, small bathroom renovation costs can vary significantly.

There are many different renovation costs to consider when you are doing a small bathroom renovation in Australia. Firstly, are you keeping the plumbing as it is, or are you changing the bathroom layout? If your current bathroom is small and feels poky, you may find by redesigning the layout, you can create a more functional bathroom that looks amazing, too. For example, by moving floor pipes behind the wall, you can create extra space and a more streamlined and stylish look. However, by doing this, the small bathroom renovation costs will be higher. Hiring professional plumbers is not cheap, but it is one of the bathroom remodelling costs you’ll need to factor in.

Another bathroom renovation cost to consider is tiling. Tiles can look beautiful, but they are also time-consuming to lay, and you’ll want to make sure they are installed properly. Ventilation is also a factor to consider when renovating a small bathroom to help prevent mould and make sure that you get good airflow. Other small bathroom renovation costs can include heating, waterproofing and lighting, and you’ll also need to factor in the cost of an electrician or other tradies as required. Then there’s the cabinets (and associated carpentry costs), tapware, toilets, bathtub, shower, basins and other bathroom accessories. All these can vary in cost significantly depending on the quality, the brand and what they are made out of. In some cases, it may be worth paying more to get a premium product that is more durable, but you’ll need to shop around to find what will work best for your bathroom.

How to apply for a loan to cover the cost of a bathroom renovation?

If you are thinking about home improvement loans to cover your small bathroom renovation costs, there are several different types of loans on the market.

Once you’ve done a budget and worked out how much you expect your bathroom renovation to cost, if it only ends up being a small amount of money you need to borrow, another option is to pay for your small bathroom renovation costs with a credit card or line of credit.
