If your question isn't here, ask it in your free consult — no question is too small.
Most full bathroom renovations in Melbourne sit between $25,000 and $55,000+ depending on size, tile and tapware selections, whether walls or plumbing are moved, and the level of waterproofing and structural work required. In your free Renovation Planning Consult we give you an indicative range based on similar Tetris Homes bathroom projects so you can plan with confidence.
On site, a typical Tetris Homes bathroom takes 4–6 weeks from demolition to final clean. Allow another 4–8 weeks beforehand for design, selections, trade scheduling and ordering long-lead items like custom vanities, stone tops and imported tiles so nothing holds up the build.
A full turnkey package: demolition and rubbish removal, plumbing and electrical rough-in, waterproofing to AS 3740, wall and floor tiling, vanity, mirror, shower screen, tapware, toilet, towel rails, lighting, exhaust, painting and final detailing. One fixed price, one project manager, one team.
Most like-for-like bathroom renovations in Melbourne don't need a planning permit, but waterproofing and plumbing must comply with Victorian regulations and may require a building permit if structural work, window changes or extensions are involved. We handle all permits, inspections and certifier sign-off as part of our service.
No — the room is fully stripped during the build, so you'll need access to another bathroom. If yours is the only one, we'll talk through temporary options during your consult and sequence the trades to get the shower or toilet back online as early as practical.
Yes. Once your design and selections are locked in, we issue a fixed-price contract with a detailed scope and inclusions. The only time the price changes is if you ask for a variation (e.g. upgrading tiles mid-build) or if a genuine hidden condition is uncovered behind walls — and you're consulted before any change is made.
We talk through your bathroom goals, walk through the space (in person or via video), discuss layout options, finishes, budget range and realistic timelines, and answer your questions. You leave with clarity on what's possible and what it's likely to cost — with no obligation to proceed.
It depends on the size of your space, the level of finish you want and any structural changes needed. In your Renovation Planning Consult we'll talk through what drives cost up or down and give you an indicative range based on similar Melbourne projects, so you can decide whether to move ahead with detailed design and quoting.
Most renovations become stressful because nobody explains the process, expectations aren't clear and the homeowner ends up project managing on the fly. We take the opposite approach: clear planning up front, one dedicated project manager, agreed communication, and a step-by-step process we've refined over 23+ years of renovating Melbourne homes.
It's common to start with a number based on TV shows or old advice that no longer matches market prices. In your consult, we'll be upfront about what's achievable for your budget and where compromises can be made without ruining the outcome. If it's not the right time to renovate, we'll tell you — and you'll at least know what to plan for.
No. Many clients come to us with nothing more than some photos and ideas. We can guide you from the very first concept through to final plans, selections and build — or work with existing plans if you already have them.
In many cases, yes — especially for single-room renovations like kitchens and bathrooms — but it can be disruptive. We'll talk through the practicalities in your consult and help you decide whether staying, partially moving out or timing around holidays makes the most sense.
Because we manage projects end-to-end and don't overload our schedule, start dates can book out several months in advance. It's best to book your Renovation Planning Consult as soon as you're serious about renovating in the next 3–12 months so we can pencil in timeframes and work backwards.
Unfortunately, a lot of our clients come to us after poor communication, half-finished work or blown budgets elsewhere. We address that by being transparent from day one, putting everything important in writing and giving you one accountable point of contact throughout the job.
Yes. The 30-minute consult is completely free and obligation-free. It's our way of helping you avoid common renovation mistakes and deciding whether we're the right fit for each other before either of us commits to a formal engagement.
