Indicative pricing
Two price ranges, depending on the layout
These indicative prices include GST.
Full bathroom renovation
$29,000 to $32,000
A complete strip out and rebuild, with the shower, vanity and toilet staying in their existing positions. This is the majority of the bathrooms we build.
With fixtures relocated
Around $35,000
When the shower, vanity or toilet moves, the plumbing has to be relocated and the floor opened up. This is also the range for combining a bathroom and a separate toilet into one larger room.
Inclusions
What that price covers
- Demolition and removal of the existing bathroom
- Waterproofing by a licensed applicator, certified, with the certificate at handover
- Wall and floor tiling
- Plumbing and electrical, with compliance certificates
- Plastering, painting and fit off
- All trades coordinated by us under the one licence and the one price
Tiles, tapware, vanity and screen are listed as supply allowances so you can see exactly what has been set aside for each. Choose above your allowance and you pay the difference on that item. If a selection changes the installation work, any scope and price adjustment is agreed in writing before proceeding.

Comparing quotes
Compare the scope, allowances and exclusions
Check that each quote describes demolition, waterproofing, tiling, services, fixtures and finishing work. Compare supply allowances and exclusions as well as the total. Axena Projects Pty Ltd holds QBCC licence 15558211.
The final quote states the agreed scope, tax treatment, allowances and exclusions. Insurance costs are excluded and will be added once required. Hidden conditions or changes to the agreed work may require a written variation.
See our Brisbane bathroom renovation service and the Wellington Point whole-home renovation for an example of our work.
How do I compare a bathroom refresh package with a full renovation?
A cosmetic refresh may retain much of the existing room, while a full renovation involves a broader rebuild. The package name and headline price do not tell you what is included. Check what is removed, retained or replaced, and whether the written scope covers waterproofing, plumbing and electrical work, fixtures, finishes, waste disposal and supply allowances. Compare those details with the full-renovation inclusions above, and check exclusions before comparing totals.
Before you choose a quote
A bathroom renovation quote checklist
Two quotes can describe a bathroom renovation and still cover different work. Use this checklist to compare the written scope before deciding which price suits your Brisbane project.
- What stays and what goes? Identify the bath, shower screen, vanity, toilet, wall linings and flooring that will be removed, retained or replaced. Check whether demolition and waste removal are included.
- Does the layout stay the same? Mark any proposed fixture moves or wall changes. Ask what plumbing, electrical and building work is allowed for, and what still needs checking on site.
- Which surfaces are being finished? Compare the floor area, wall tiling height, tile format, niches, trims and painting. A room tiled to the ceiling is a different scope from one with partial wall tiling.
- What can you spend on selections? Check the stated supply allowances for tiles, vanity, tapware, toilet and shower screen. Confirm whether delivery and installation are included and how selection changes are priced.
- What remains uncertain? Look for exclusions and allowances for work that cannot yet be confirmed. Ask how existing leaks, damaged substrates or service repairs would be assessed and agreed if uncovered.
- What is the total you are comparing? Check the quote's GST treatment, exclusions and any separately priced work. Compare the same scope and tax basis before comparing totals.
Keep the checklist alongside each quote. If an item is unclear, ask for it to be explained in writing rather than assuming it is included.
Planning your room
What to prepare for a bathroom renovation quote
Start with your suburb, a description of the room and what you want to change. Photographs of the current bathroom and approximate dimensions, if available, help explain the layout. A site visit is still needed to assess the work before a final quote.
Separate essentials from preferences. Note problems you need to resolve, such as storage or shower access, then list the finishes you would like. Tell us whether you want to retain the layout, move fixtures or combine rooms, and whether the work also includes a laundry or separate toilet.
Flag known issues early. Tell us about leaks, damaged flooring or existing plumbing problems, and whether another trade has already investigated them. Reports or photographs can help define what needs checking; they do not replace assessment of the room.
Share your budget and preferred timing. If you are still working out the budget, say so. Identify any fixtures you have already bought or want to retain, so their suitability and installation can be assessed before the scope is agreed.
For layout examples, see our small bathroom planning guidance and completed Wellington Point bathrooms in the Redlands. These show our work; they are not priced packages.

Questions
Common questions
How much does it cost to renovate a bathroom in Brisbane?
Axena’s indicative guidance is $29,000–$32,000 for a full bathroom renovation with fixtures in their existing positions, or around $35,000 with fixture relocations. The final quote follows assessment of the site, agreed scope and selections, with supply allowances and exclusions stated.
Can you renovate a bathroom for $10,000?
That budget does not match Axena’s full bathroom renovation offer. Our indicative guidance for a full renovation with fixtures kept in place is $29,000–$32,000. Confirm the scope you need before comparing quotes.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom renovation?
The main cost drivers depend on the project: room size, service relocations, substrate repairs, tiling and fixture selections can all affect the total. We assess these together rather than assume the same trade is the largest cost in every bathroom.
Does a smaller bathroom always cost less?
A smaller room does not necessarily cost proportionately less. Waterproofing, plumbing, electrical work and fit-off still form part of the scope; layout changes, substrate condition and selections also affect the quote. See our small bathroom planning guidance.
Why is your price higher than the cheapest quotes?
Compare the included work, supply allowances and exclusions. Axena coordinates the agreed renovation scope and relevant compliance documentation. We cannot judge another builder’s quote without reviewing what it includes.
Is the price fixed?
The quote fixes the price for the agreed scope, subject to its stated allowances and exclusions. Selections that change supply or installation costs and unforeseen site conditions may require an adjustment. Additional work is documented and priced as a written variation before proceeding.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most Axena bathrooms take three to four weeks on site once materials are in hand. Lead times on made to order items such as shower screens and vanities sit outside that window, which is why selections are locked in before we start.
