Quick answer
Start with the bathroom size, work needed and finishes you want. The published guide and examples below provide a starting point; compare written quotes for your property.
The biggest quote differences usually come from waterproofing, tile area, fixture quality, vanity choice, plumbing or electrical relocation, shower screens, ventilation and whether the contractor manages every trade.

About the guide: Archicentre Australia's 2026 Cost Guide lists a bathroom/ensuite wet-area fit-out allowance using standard materials, fixtures and finishes. Its renovation assumptions include good access and a sound room needing no structural upgrades. The allowance includes GST and is general guidance, not a Melbourne or suburb price survey. Ask what demolition, repairs, approvals and other work your quote covers.
