If you’re thinking about a full bathroom renovation, you’re probably asking the same questions most homeowners do: How long will it take? What will it cost? And how do I make sure it’s done properly?

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the typical renovation process, the choices that affect price, and how to plan a bathroom that looks great and works brilliantly for years.

What’s included in a full bathroom renovation?

A full renovation usually means stripping out the old suite and finishes, then rebuilding the room from the pipework and surfaces up. Depending on your bathroom, it can include:

  • Removal and disposal of the old bathroom suite and tiles

  • Plumbing changes (moving a toilet, basin, bath/shower)

  • New pipework, wastes, traps and isolation valves

  • Wall and floor preparation (boarding, tanking/waterproofing where needed)

  • Tiling or alternative wall panels

  • Fitting the new suite, taps, shower, screen and accessories

  • Finishing touches (silicone sealing, boxing-in, snagging)

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

Most full bathroom renovations take around 5–10 working days, depending on the size of the room and how much is changing. If you’re moving pipework, replacing flooring, or doing extensive tiling, it can take a bit longer.

What affects the cost?

Bathroom renovation costs vary because every room (and every customer’s taste) is different. The biggest factors are:

  • Layout changes: moving a toilet or shower usually increases labour and materials

  • Tiling: full-height tiling takes longer than half-height or panels

  • Suite and fittings: taps, showers and furniture range from budget to premium

  • Condition of the room: hidden issues (rotted floors, damaged plaster, old pipework) can add work

Planning tips for a bathroom that lasts

  • Prioritise ventilation: good extraction helps prevent mould and peeling paint

  • Think about storage: vanity units and mirrored cabinets keep the room tidy

  • Choose easy-clean finishes: large-format tiles and quality grout make maintenance simpler

  • Don’t skip waterproofing: especially around showers and wet areas
