Bathroom renovations- the real costs
The costs to have a bathroom renovated can vary greatly, from $18,000 for a small bathroom (retaining the position of plumbing and only tiling wet areas) to as much as your imagination can take you.
Choosing a Shower Screen and your bathroom renovation
The shower screen is usually the last product to be measured in a bathroom renovation.
This is due to the fact that the wall and floor tiles need to first be laid to be able to get an accurate measurement for the screen, especially when it comes to frameless shower screens. Frameless shower screen have very little tolerance and therefore measurements need to be spot on.

When undertaking a bathroom renovation there is always the temptation to take short cuts to save money. Is it really worth saving the money at the time only to cost yourself MORE money down the track?
Creating a Family Friendly Bathroom
Families are constantly changing. It is for this reason, if you are considering a bathroom renovation, you look into the future as well as focusing on your current situation. It is essential that space created in your bathroom renovation, can be adjusted to the evolving needs of a growing family. Choices that you make need to be practical, not age specific. Your bathroom needs to be able to facilitate a lot of traffic at one time, alleviating arguments that arise when several bodies are using the bathroom at once.
