Wellington Bathroom Renovation

A new bathroom doesn't only look nice, it adds a new life to your home and increases its value.

Bathroom renovation

Bathroom renovation can help increase the value of your property and ensure comfort for all household members. A new bathroom doesn’t only look nice but it also adds a new life to your home. Our services include repairing bathroom damages, installing new tiles, or improving the space in your bathroom.

Bathrooms are the least forgiving room to renovate: everything happens in a small footprint and water has to go exactly where it should. Waterproofing, fall to the drain, ventilation and tiling all have to be right first time, because the cost of getting them wrong shows up later as damp, lifting tiles or mould. We work through the sequence properly — strip out, repair, waterproof, tile, then fit plumbing and fittings. Older Wellington homes often need the substrate repaired or ventilation improved before anything decorative goes in, and we tell you up front.

Tiling & Surface Finishing

Installing or repairing tiles for walls, floors, and showers, delivering clean lines and a polished finish. Quality tiling improves both durability and the overall visual appeal of your bathroom.

How Should You Remodel Your Bathroom

Planning a bathroom remodel starts with understanding your priorities before any work begins. Consider how the space is used daily, what frustrates you most about the current layout, and what changes would genuinely improve your routine. Start by assessing functionality — is storage lacking, is the layout awkward, or are fixtures outdated and inefficient? From there, think about materials and finishes that balance style with durability, especially in a space exposed to constant moisture.

Waterproofing should always be addressed early, since leaks and hidden damage can undermine even the most beautiful design. It's also worth setting a realistic budget upfront, prioritising structural or functional issues before purely cosmetic upgrades. Working with an experienced team ensures your vision is achievable, code-compliant, and properly executed from start to finish. A well-planned remodel doesn't just look better, it makes your daily routine easier, safer, and far more enjoyable for years to come.

How Much Does A Bathroom Remodeling Cost In Wellington?

Bathroom renovation costs in New Zealand generally fall into three tiers, and Wellington pricing tends to track close to the national average. A basic refresh — updating fixtures, repainting, and minor tiling while keeping the existing layout — typically runs from $8,000 to $15,000. A standard mid-range renovation, including a full strip-out, new tiling, waterproofing, updated plumbing, and mid-range fixtures, usually falls between $18,000 and $35,000. For a premium renovation involving custom cabinetry, layout changes, high-end fixtures, or a fully tiled walk-in shower, costs can range from $35,000 upwards of $70,000, depending on size and specification.

Common bathroom problems we solve

Leaky showers or cracked tiles

Water leaks through cracked tiles or poorly sealed showers, soaking into walls and floors. This causes rot, structural damage, and hidden mould — especially in timber-framed Wellington homes. We fully waterproof, re-tile, and reseal your bathroom to protect your home long-term.

Poor layout or wasted space

A badly designed bathroom can feel cramped, awkward, or hard to move around in. We redesign the layout to maximise space, flow, and functionality — so every inch works for you.

Old fittings that are hard to clean or unreliable

Worn-out taps, dated toilets, and rusty fixtures not only look bad — they waste water and break easily. We install modern, water-efficient fittings that are stylish, low-maintenance, and built to last.

Mould, damp, and bad ventilation

Steam from hot showers with nowhere to go creates mould and mildew, a health hazard especially for kids and those with asthma. We improve ventilation, install proper extraction fans, and use mould-resistant materials.

Not enough storage or light

Cluttered benches, dark corners, and no room to store essentials make bathrooms feel messy and uninviting. We add smart storage solutions and lighting design to brighten your bathroom and boost convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

A full bathroom renovation typically takes three to five weeks from strip-out to finish. Waterproofing needs curing time between stages and cannot be rushed, and tiling then grouting adds several days. Smaller cosmetic upgrades such as new fittings and tiling can be done in about a week.
Replacing fittings in the same positions usually does not require consent. You will generally need it if you relocate plumbing or drainage, alter walls, or convert a space into a new bathroom. We identify which category your job falls into before any work begins, so the timeline stays realistic.
Waterproofing is the critical step. We apply a compliant waterproof membrane to floors and wet-area walls, seal all junctions and penetrations properly, and allow full curing before tiling. We also install adequate extraction and use mould-resistant materials, because ventilation prevents most bathroom mould problems from starting.
Yes, and small bathrooms often benefit most from good design. Wall-hung vanities, recessed shelving, sliding or outward-opening doors, and a well-placed shower can transform how a tight space feels and functions. We redesign the layout rather than simply replacing what was already there, so every centimetre earns its place.
If it is your only bathroom, yes, for part of the job. We plan the sequence to minimise that window and let you know the dates well in advance so you can arrange alternatives. Homes with a second bathroom or separate toilet are far less disrupted.
