Bathroom Renovation Costs in Castle Hill and the Hills

Rough bands, not a price list

These bands are deliberately broad. They are here so you can tell whether a project is in the right ballpark before you book a measure, not to price your room. Two bathrooms of the same size in the same street can land in different bands once the floor is opened, the selections are made and the access is taken into account.

Accessible bathrooms sit in the same bands, with level-entry showers, wall reinforcement and wider doorways adding to the scope.

What a full bathroom quote covers

• Site protection through the house and up the stairs.
• Demolition, skip and waste removal.
• Framing and floor sheeting repairs where needed.
• Plumbing and electrical rough-in and fit-off.
• Wet-area sheeting, membrane and certificate.
• Screed, floor tiling and wall tiling.
• Vanity, basin, toilet, tapware, shower glass, mirror and accessories.
• Exhaust fan and lighting.
• Final clean and handover.

If a quote you are comparing leaves any of these out, ask why. That gap is often the whole difference between two numbers.

What moves the price

Size of the room. Every extra square metre adds membrane, screed, tiles, adhesive and labour.

Moving fixtures. Relocating a toilet or shower means new drainage. Upstairs on a timber floor this can be manageable; downstairs on a slab it often means cutting concrete.

Asbestos. Testing is inexpensive. Removal by a licensed removalist, with clearance, is a separate cost.

Water damage. Swollen particleboard flooring or rotten framing under an old shower is replaced before anything new goes in, and is often only visible once the tiles come off.

Tile choices. Large-format tiles, mosaics, patterns and feature walls take more labour and more preparation, as does tiling to the ceiling.

Fixtures and fittings. Tapware, vanities, shower glass and baths vary widely, and custom joinery costs more than a standard size.

Heating and extras. Underfloor heating, heated towel rails, recessed cabinets and skylights.

Access and distance. Steep driveways, apartments with lifts and restricted hours, or acreage properties further out.

Where you can save

• Keep the layout. Leaving the toilet, shower and vanity waste positions where they are.
• Mix tile prices. A feature tile in the niche, and a good-quality standard porcelain elsewhere.
• Choose fixed glass panels rather than hinged doors where the layout allows.
• Renovate rooms together to share trade visits.
• Lock in selections early so there are no delays or rushed substitutions.

Payments in NSW

The maximum deposit for residential building work in NSW is 10 per cent. For work above the statutory threshold, home building compensation cover must be in place before a deposit is requested. Progress payments should match completed stages of work, and you should receive a written contract before work begins.

Every job is different: book a measure for your price

No two bathrooms are priced the same, and a band on a web page cannot see your floor structure, your waste lines, the state of the framing or the tiles you have in mind. A proper on-site quote is the only way to get a price built for your room. At the measure we confirm the size, check the floor and access, talk through what you want from the room, and then you receive a written, itemised price.
