How much value does a renovated bathroom add? 

Bathroom renovation is a focal point for many home buyers and can make or break the sale of a house. An updated bathroom with modern fittings provides instant appeal to a home, but this renovation could be expensive. There is generally always scope to revamp a bathroom without redoing the whole bathroom. For example, changing the bathtub, walk-in shower, vanity, and sink rather than the entire bathroom  is a lot more cost-effective and can dramatically improve the look and feel of a bathroom .

If you are completely redoing the bathroom ahead of a potential sale, it is important not to overcapitalise and ensure modest fixtures and fittings are chosen. Sounds complicated, don’t our Northshore renovation contractors can help you, book your free consultation now! Checkout our bathroom renovations in North Shore Auckland

Detailed Planning and Costing

Next, working drawings will be developed. These will take into account the engineering, structural, design and aesthetic decisions you have made.

4

Build Stage

Finally, you get to witness your project transition from the page to your property! Every aspect of the build will be managed for you, allowing you to carry on with your everyday life.

What Sarah Lowe’s customers say about working with Refresh Renovations®

Frequently asked questions

Can full home renovations increase the value of my home in New Zealand?

They most certainly can! When you choose to work with a home renovation design consultant like those at Refresh Renovations, you are opting for a process that helps save you time and money.

Modern design, new fixtures, functional layouts, and sleek finishes make a massive difference to potential homebuyers. Get in touch with a Renovation Consultant today to talk about adding value to your property.

Do I need a building consent for a new bathroom?

In New Zealand, the need for a building consent for a new bathroom largely depends on the extent of the work involved and the specific regulations of the local council. Generally, if your bathroom renovation involves structural changes, plumbing alterations, or electrical work, it is likely that you will require a building consent. This is because these changes may affect the safety, durability, and compliance of the building. It is important to consult with your local council or a qualified professional, such as a building inspector or architect, who can provide accurate guidance based on the specific details of your project and the local regulations.

Your renovation consultant at Refresh can take care of these checks on your behalf during the Working Drawings and Costing stage of the process. They will be able to assess whether a building consent is required and guide you through the process to ensure compliance with New Zealand's building standards.

Can my designer or contractor get the building permit for my project?

Are you wondering what home renovations require a permit? That all could depend on where you live and the extent of your renovation. Your Renovation Consultant will be able to acquire a building permit for your kitchen, bathroom, home extension, and more.

Do you handle all aspects of the bathroom renovation, including plumbing and electrical work?

Refresh Renovations expertly manages all aspects of bathroom renovations, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience for their clients. From start to finish, your Refresh team will take care of every detail, including plumbing and electrical work. Their team of skilled professionals possesses extensive knowledge and experience in these fields, guaranteeing that all plumbing and electrical components are handled efficiently and effectively.

Whether it's installing new fixtures, reconfiguring the plumbing layout, or upgrading electrical systems, Refresh Renovations ensures that the entire process is completed to the highest standards, providing clients with a beautifully renovated bathroom that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also fully functional and safe. You can monitor the progress of your renovation through our customer portal app too.

Do Renovation Consultants work with specific contractors or can I choose my own?

Working with a Renovation Consultant means you’ll have access to a trusted network of contractors and suppliers in your area. But if you have a contractor already in mind, bring them up with your Renovation Consultant and they can work with them as well.

How can I ensure the renovation stays within budget?

Your dedicated Renovation Consultant will help you outline and stay within your budget. They are experts in their field and have a deep understanding of how to best allocate your funds to ensure your project is completed within those set parameters.

What services do Renovation Consultants offer?

These experts can help you brainstorm ideas for your renovation, build your budget plan, source the best contractors for the job, and take care of all council permits and paperwork required. They serve as project managers who oversee the entire renovation and keep open lines of communication with you along the way.

Will I be able to live in my home during the complete home renovation?

At Refresh, our Renovation Consultants work to make sure your renovation involves minimal interference with your daily life. However, with a full home renovation you can expect a lot more going on in your house that might require you to find another place to stay during the renovation.

Your Renovation Consultant will be transparent about a timeline and will work to get you back into your home as soon as possible. After all, the benefits from a complete home renovation make the process worth it!

What steps are involved in the bathroom renovation process?

Step 1: Initial Briefing / Consultation

Step 2: Concept and Feasibility

Step 3: Working Drawing and Costing

Step 4: Build / Construction stage

Step 5: Your finished Bathroom Renovation
