Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
A bathroom renovation typically takes between 2 and 4 weeks from demolition to final clean. Ensuite renovations may take slightly less time. We manage plumbers, tilers, electricians and carpenters as one coordinated team, and confirm a timeline for your project before work begins.
Do I need council approval for a bathroom renovation?
You usually do not need council approval for a bathroom renovation, as most bathroom renovations are internal alterations and do not require a Development Application. Nexus Built will advise if any approvals are needed for your project.
How do I choose the right tiles for my bathroom?
To choose the right tiles for your bathroom, consider the size of the room, the amount of natural light, your personal style, and the slip rating of floor tiles. It’s also worth thinking about maintenance. Smaller tiles create more grout lines, which can require more cleaning over time, while larger tiles generally have fewer grout joints and a cleaner appearance. The texture of the tile is another important consideration. Highly textured tiles can provide better slip resistance but may be more difficult to clean than smoother surfaces. Nexus Built can guide you through the selection process to help you find the right balance between style, practicality and maintenance.
Can You Renovate a Bathroom for $10,000?
Whether you can renovate a bathroom for $10,000 depends on the scope. A full bathroom renovation in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie typically costs $20,000 to $60,000, so a $10,000 budget will generally only cover a smaller update, such as replacing the vanity and fixtures.
