How Much Does A Bathroom Renovation Cost In 2025?
Thinking about a bathroom reno this year? Let’s talk numbers.
Because whether you’re upgrading an ensuite or starting from scratch, the real question is: How much is this going to cost me?
I’ve broken down the 2025 bathroom renovation cost into four clear categories — from a simple refresh to a full, high-end upgrade — so you can see exactly what you’ll get depending on your budget. #letsgo
Orton Haus • Bathroom Renovation Cost
Why The Price Range?
Not all bathrooms — or renovations — are created equal. Your renovation cost will always be affected by:
Where you live
The size of your bathroom
The scope of the work (full gut or light refresh?)
Who you hire (DIY, builder, or interior designer)
The fittings and finishes you choose
And whether you stick to the layout — or start moving walls and plumbing
That’s why I’m showing you four separate bathroom renovation options for your place below — to give you a realistic idea of what you’ll get depending on how much you have to spend...
