Imagine a cold winter’s night, made cosy by a fire burning in the lounge. The wood crackles, heat pours from the fireplace and everyone is warm – hot even! But, now it’s bedtime, so you open the lounge door into a cold hallway and walk into an even colder bedroom. Not quite the cosy picture you imagined, is it?

The cost of a bathroom renovation is like considering the cost of buying a car. Is it new or used? What is the make going to be? Which of the numerous options will you be selecting? What about adding a roof rack or tow bar? Given the many variables at play, there is a chasm between the low end of the scale and the high end.
The same can be said about bathroom renovation. If you aren’t changing much and have mates that can help with the work, you might get away with a few thousand dollars. Conversely, if you are doing a full overhaul and only want top-of-the-line fixtures, it can easily hit $40 ..read more
