Bathroom Renovation Auckland — Full Renovations, Showers, Baths & Plumbing Upgrades

Bathroom renovation costs vary significantly depending on size, scope, and fixtures. A basic fixture refresh on existing plumbing starts from around $8,000 to $12,000. A mid-range renovation with new fixtures, tiling, and minor layout changes typically runs $15,000 to $35,000. A full renovation involving layout changes, new plumbing, premium fixtures, and tiling can reach $50,000+. The plumbing component is usually 15 to 25% of the total budget depending on complexity. We provide a detailed fixed-price quote after an on-site assessment — $0 call out fee.

A bathroom renovation typically takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on scope. A simple fixture swap or refresh can be done in 3 to 5 days. A standard renovation with new fixtures, tiling, and minor layout changes takes 2 to 4 weeks. A full renovation involving layout changes, structural work, or custom tiling takes 4 to 6 weeks from demolition to completion. The plumbing rough-in usually takes 2 to 4 days and the final fit-off another 1 to 2 days. We provide a clear timeline before starting and coordinate with your builder, tiler, and electrician throughout.

We handle the full plumbing scope — rough-in, drainage, hot and cold water lines, fixture installation, shower valves, bath connections, vanity plumbing, heated towel rails, and final commissioning. We coordinate with your builder, tiler, electrician, and other trades. We can also project manage the full renovation if required.

Yes. We relocate water supply lines, waste pipes, and drainage to accommodate new bathroom layouts.

Yes. We install freestanding baths including running new hot and cold water lines, fitting the waste and overflow, and connecting to drainage. Freestanding baths often require floor plumbing modifications — we handle the full installation and coordinate with your tiler and builder.

Yes. Bath-to-shower conversions are one of our most common renovation jobs. We remove the existing bath, modify the plumbing and drainage, install the shower base or tile tray, fit the shower valve and mixer, and connect the waste. Waterproofing and tiling coordinated with your tiler.

Yes. We install hydronic (plumbed) heated towel rails that connect to your hot water system. These provide consistent, energy-efficient heat and double as a bathroom heater. We run the hot water supply lines, connect the towel rail, and pressure test. For electric towel rails, we coordinate with your electrician.

Yes. We handle the plumbing for wet room conversions including floor waste installation, drainage falls, shower plumbing, and waterproofing coordination. A wet room requires precise drainage design to ensure water flows correctly — we get this right so your wet room drains properly.

It depends on the scope. Like-for-like replacements without moving fixtures usually don't need consent. Moving the toilet, adding a new shower, or changing the bathroom layout usually does require consent under the Building Act 2004. We advise on consent requirements and work with builders who handle applications.

Yes. Moving waste points involves new drain work and is one of the most technically challenging parts of a bathroom renovation. It requires understanding of drain falls, venting, and access to existing waste lines. We plan these changes carefully to ensure compliance with AS/NZS 3500.

A tired bathroom can significantly reduce a property's sale price. A mid-range renovation typically returns 60 to 80% of its cost at sale, while a tired bathroom can cost 2 to 3 times the renovation cost in reduced offers. We work with real estate agents and property investors on pre-sale renovations.

Yes. We install hydronic (water-based) underfloor heating systems in bathroom renovations. Electric underfloor heating is installed by electricians. Hydronic systems can tie into your hot water supply or a dedicated boiler. Underfloor heating is best installed during renovation when the floor is already being replaced.
