Bathroom renovations are one of those jobs that seem small but have a lot going on behind the scenes. From stripping out the old fixtures to waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, and electrical – there’s a fair bit of coordination involved.
How long does it usually take?
For most homes in Christchurch, a standard bathroom renovation typically takes between 4 and 6 weeks. That’s assuming there are no major surprises under the floorboards and the design is relatively straightforward.
What might add time?
- Tiling – Tiled showers or full-wall tiles look great, but they do take longer than acrylic liners or basic splashbacks.
- Custom fittings – If you’ve chosen fancy fittings or anything that needs to be ordered in, this can hold things up.
- Hidden problems – Leaks, rotten framing, or dodgy old plumbing can all cause delays while we sort them properly.
How do we keep things on track?
Once we understand your plans, we’ll create a realistic timeline. This includes how long we expect each trade to be on site and when various tasks will be completed. We’ll talk you through it all before anything kicks off, so you know what to expect.
Living in the house during the renovation?
Some clients choose to stay put during a bathroom renovation, while others book a short break or stay with family. It depends on the layout of your home and whether you’ve got another bathroom to use. We’ll help you work out the best option for your situation.
