Bathrooms are among the most renovated rooms in the Australian home and, dollar for dollar, one of the trickiest — waterproofing, tiling and plumbing all have to be right the first time. These bathroom renovation ideas span small ensuite makeovers through to full family-bathroom rebuilds: tiling and colour schemes, vanities and basins, showers and freestanding baths, storage and lighting. Browse the galleries for inspiration, then check what it should cost with our bathroom renovation cost calculator, which ranges 2026 Australian prices by finish level, size and location. Renovating more than one room? The renovation planner budgets the whole job and gives you a room-by-room checklist, and the trade directory lists bathroom renovators, tilers and plumbers near you. Waterproofing must be done by a licensed installer — keep the certificate — and remember labour is 40–50% of a bathroom budget, so the layout you choose matters more than the tiles.
