How Long Does a Bathroom Renovation Take?

A typical timeline

The first day or two is strip-out: removing the old suite, tiles and anything being replaced. Next comes first fix — any new plumbing and electrics chased into the walls and floor.

Tiling and waterproofing follow, then second fix (fitting the suite, taps, shower and lights), and finally sealing, finishing and a clean-down. Allowing tiles and adhesive to set properly is part of getting a lasting finish.

What affects the timeline

Moving the layout (relocating the toilet or shower), creating a fully tanked wet room, or choosing intricate tiling all add time. So can unforeseen issues uncovered once the old bathroom is removed — older properties sometimes hide surprises.

A clear plan and decisions made up front (tiles, suite and fittings chosen before we start) keep things moving smoothly.
