What is the most expensive part of a bathroom renovation?

Tiling and waterproofing are consistently among the most expensive parts of a bathroom renovation in Sydney, but labour across all trades is the single biggest cost driver overall.

Plumbing is particularly costly, especially if you are moving fixtures or replacing old pipes. In older Sydney homes, discovering that pipes need full replacement can add thousands to a budget very quickly.

Tiling costs depend on the size of the space, the complexity of the pattern, and the tile selected, with labour often costing more than the tiles themselves. Custom joinery and frameless shower screens are also significant expenses.

Mitroteam Projects manages all trades in-house, which helps keep labour costs competitive and avoids the markup that comes with coordinating multiple separate contractors.
