FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cost & Process
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Perth?

Most Perth renovations land between $15,000 and $30,000, depending on the size of your bathroom, your chosen finish level, and whether plumbing or layout changes are involved. Our three packages, Simply Fresh, Simply Styled and Simply Stunning, give you a fixed starting point for each budget, so you know roughly where you sit before we’ve even measured your space.

How long does a bathroom renovation take?

On site, most renovations run two to four weeks from demolition to handover. Demolition is usually a day or two, then plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproofing (which needs proper curing time, this can’t be rushed), tiling, and finally fixtures and fittings. Older Perth homes or full layout changes can push this out further.

Do I need council approval for my renovation?

It depends on scope. A cosmetic refresh that doesn’t touch plumbing or structure often doesn’t need one. Anything altering the layout, waste points, or structural elements generally does. We assess this for you as part of your initial consultation, so you’re never left guessing.

Can I still use my bathroom during the renovation?

No, not the one being worked on. If it’s your only bathroom, we help you plan around it, whether that’s a temporary setup or timing the trickiest days around your household.

What areas of Perth do you cover?

We take on bathroom renovations right across the greater Perth metro area.

Technical Questions
What is waterproofing membrane, and why does it matter so much?

It’s a liquid or sheet barrier applied under your tiles that stops water reaching the structural timber or concrete behind your walls and floor. In Australia this is governed by AS 3740, which sets minimum coverage heights, shower walls need waterproofing up to 1800mm, for example. Poor or skipped waterproofing is the leading cause of expensive damage down the track, so it’s treated as a baseline standard on every renovation we complete, not an upsell.

Why does tapware need to be “WaterMark certified”?

It’s the Australian compliance mark confirming a plumbing product meets safety and performance standards. Installing uncertified fixtures can void your compliance certificate and cause issues if you ever sell the property, so every fixture across our packages is WaterMark certified as standard.

Are your trades licensed?

Yes, always. Plumbing, electrical and waterproofing work must legally be carried out by licensed tradespeople in Western Australia. You’ll receive compliance certificates for this work at handover, worth keeping for your records.

What’s the difference between your three renovation packages?

The process, trade quality, and compliance standard are identical across all three. What changes is the curated tile and fixture selection, each tier is tailored to a different look and budget, but never to a different standard of workmanship. Whether you choose Simply Fresh or Simply Stunning, you’re getting the same careful process and the same attention to detail, just a different palette to match your taste.

Do you provide a fixed quote?

Yes. Once your design is finalised, we provide you with your full design documentation along with a fixed price, valid for 30 days, in line with standard practice among renovation providers in Perth. This gives you time to review everything properly before committing, with no surprise costs once your renovation is underway.
