Renovating bathrooms can be a tedious job. It requires planning and a professional approach. Renovating a bathroom may sound like a fun task but it can get overwhelming sometimes. There are so many bathroom designs, furnishing options, fixtures, ideas, colour palettes and bathroom architecture to look at. It is easy to get carried away.
Experts at Southern can help execute your renovation. We can go through your ideas and how you want it done and come up with a plan that will suit your budget.
Here are some tips to getting you a budget friendly bathroom renovation:
Prioritise Your Bathroom Ideas
Make a checklist of the things you would like to change in your bathroom. Prioritise the checklist according to your needs and how much you would like to spend on each. Get an expert in to assess the state of your fittings. Does it need replacement or is your money better spent elsewhere? You can talk to expert bathroom renovators at Southern to help you decide how to organise your checklist.
What to Spend On and What to Save On
Spending money on the shower and taps is better than spending on other things as they are used every day. Pipework and fittings are other areas where quality is important. You can focus on trying to get at least mid-range fittings and pipework. Anything going behind the wall needs to done properly as burst pipes and other issues post-renovation can mean cutting or ripping off the wall. Ventilation in New Zealand is really important, to prevent a mouldy bathroom. You can save on furnishings and add “extras” when your budget allows.

Focus on One Big Change
Instead of changing your bathroom completely, you can choose few things that you would like to change. For example, see whether you need to update your shower or install spa bath. Things like cabinets, mirror, tiles and floors play an important role in giving a particular look to a bathroom. You can give a complete new look by changing the vanity and floors for example.
Planning a bathroom reno doesn’t have to break the bank. Small bathroom renovations can be stylish and functional while still being budget-friendly. If you’re looking for inexpensive bathroom renovations, focusing on high-impact upgrades like installing a new toilet paper holder, updating the bathroom floor, or adding a sleek double vanity can make a big difference. An affordable bath remodel can include smart storage solutions and modern fixtures that enhance both aesthetics and functionality. With careful planning, affordable bathroom renovations are possible, and you can keep your bathroom renovation cost under control while still achieving a fresh, updated space you’ll love.
