How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Brisbane?
Straight figures from a licensed Brisbane builder, not a lead-generation estimate. Here is what a bathroom renovation actually costs and what moves the number.
What you should budget
Most Brisbane bathroom renovations run from about $25,000 for a straightforward renovation to $40,000 and up for a full premium rebuild.
A small ensuite can sit at the lower end and a large rebuild with high-end finishes well above it. The biggest cost drivers are layout changes, fixtures and finishes.

Indicative market guidance for Brisbane only, not a quote. Your final cost is confirmed in a fixed scope after the estimate stages.
Where the money actually goes
- Moving the layout, especially relocating the toilet or shower waste
- Fixtures, tapware and tile selections, which vary enormously
- Certified waterproofing and the tiling that sits over it
- The size of the room and the ceiling height
- Hidden repairs once the old room comes out, such as rot or failed waterproofing
- Access, and whether it is your only bathroom

Why do bathroom quotes vary so much?
Because scope varies. A quote that only covers a like-for-like swap is not comparable to one that moves plumbing, re-waterproofs and re-tiles. Always compare what is actually included, and whether waterproofing is certified.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A typical full bathroom renovation takes about two to four weeks on site once materials are ready, depending on size and how much the layout changes.
What adds the most cost?
Moving plumbing. Keeping the toilet, shower and vanity roughly where they are will save real money compared with a full re-plan.
Is waterproofing included?
It should be. We manage certified waterproofing as part of the job, because it is what protects the work for the long term.
