On average, homeowners should expect to pay around $12,204 for a bathroom remodel, roughly the national average. Although several factors will ultimately determine bathroom remodel costs, a good rule of thumb is to budget at least $100 per square foot.

What kind of tiles, flooring, tapware you choose, and the size of your bathroom, of course. Typically an average bathroom renovation project in Brisbane in 2023-2024 would cost you around $23,000 - $28,500 (incl GST) for the standard bathroom, including all materials and labour.

If you are paying under $10k for a full bathroom remodel, you are going end up paying double that price in fixing what gets messed up or skipped over, and never mind the time and frustration factor. $10k is not a realistic price, at least not if you want a quality contractor to do quality work.

• No, but if it's a simple remodel, you can probably do it for about $5,000 if you can do the work yourself.
• I just priced my own bathroom remodel, using Home Depot costs, and materials came in at just under $5,000.
• The labor, depending on where you are, will probably run the same or slightly more.

Usually, the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel is labor, tile work, and plumbing. While these areas are superior, there are other aspects like layout changes, shower, etc., that can raise the budget according to your preferences. Read on as we go through each of these elements in more detail.
