Bathroom Renovation Melbourne: Renovations for Every Home Size

Melbourne Complete Bathrooms designs and builds beautiful bathroom projects across the city's northern suburbs, from Preston and Coburg to Northcote and Brunswick. Every job is managed by a Registered Building Practitioner, ensuring a quality finish to a high standard. We've worked on many different housing styles from solid brick to brick veneer, weatherboard cottages, Californian bungalows, and various other styles of homes. Whether your bathroom is compact or a full family layout, planning starts with the structure, then moves to the finishes.

Bathroom Renovations Melbourne Homeowners Turn to for Wet-Area Compliance

Bathroom renovations fall inside the National Construction Code's wet-area waterproofing requirements, and Victoria requires most domestic building work to be carried out or overseen by a Registered Building Practitioner.

Our renovations are managed by a Registered Building Practitioner, and our tradespeople hold Housing Industry Association (HIA) membership under the Kitchens & Bathrooms category.

What Actually Changes Your Bathroom Renovation Cost in Melbourne

There's no single average bathroom renovation cost that applies across every Melbourne home. Two renovations that look similar on paper can incur different costs, and this difference usually comes down to a few decisions rather than the size of the room:

  • Moving a toilet or shower to a new position. This relocates drainage, which costs more than reworking a bathroom around its existing plumbing points
  • Floor-to-ceiling tiling versus a tiled splashback with painted walls above
  • Custom-built joinery versus an off-the-shelf vanity and cabinetry

We talk through these trade-offs during design advice, before any quote is finalised, which is how we keep budget bathroom renovations in Melbourne realistic instead of a moving target once work has started. If you're weighing up where to spend and where to save, our bathroom design advice page covers the trade-offs in more detail.

Bathroom Renovations Across Preston, Coburg, Northcote, Brunswick and Melbourne's Northern Suburbs

We work across Melbourne's northern suburbs, Preston, Coburg, Northcote and Brunswick, along with Thornbury and Moonee Ponds. Local knowledge matters here more than it might in a display-home estate: a lot of the housing in this part of Melbourne was built before current wet-area standards existed, which means older waterproofing, older plumbing runs, and sometimes asbestos sheeting that needs to be identified before demolition starts.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Melbourne?

It depends on what you're changing, not just the size of the room. Moving plumbing, the extent of waterproofing required, and your choice of tiling and joinery all affect the number more than square metres alone.

Do you renovate small bathrooms?

Yes. Much of our work is in the compact bathrooms typical of Preston, Coburg, Northcote and Brunswick's weatherboard and Californian bungalow housing stock. See our bathroom renovation gallery for examples.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Timeline depends on the scope of work; stages run from demolition through to final fit-off. For a timeline specific to your project, book a quote with our team.
