Bathroom renovations the Bathroom Direct Way
Seven Step Bathroom Renovation Process to your perfect bathroom renovation.
#1
INITIAL PHONE
CONSULTATION
The first step of your bathroom renovations process is a phone call where we can find out what your perfect bathroom looks like. We’ll cover your specific needs, discuss your investment and your ideal timeline.
#2
SHOWROOMS
TO EXPLORE
A visit to one of our showrooms will help to clarify what’s possible when it comes to modern bathroom designs. Our team will walk you through our massive range of fixtures and fittings, and we’ll go over your planned project in more detail.
#3
IN HOME
CONSULTATION
One of our design consultants will visit your home to go over every part of the project from timing and logistics to styling and design. Measurements will be taken so that we can advise on hot water cylinder configuration, flooring insulation, fitting suitability, and even potential building code issues. This will help us lock down your investment and the timeline for completion.
#4
DESIGN STAGE
The next step is for your consultant to design a detailed bathroom layout for you using our advanced 3D software. This will allow us to make the concept stages start to come to life in line with your expectations, including different colours, flooring options and tile designs.
#5
SHOWROOM
APPOINTMENT
Your consultant will meet with you in our showroom to present the 3D layout and show you the products that have been selected to fit your bathroom plan. The full project plan will also be available, so you’ll be able to go over every aspect of the installation right down to the smallest detail before finalizing it. The bathroom will then be ordered and scheduled for installation.
#6
FULLY PROJECT
MANAGED
INSTALLATION
Our in-house project management team will take control to ensure that the whole project runs smoothly. You won’t need to coordinate any of the tradespeople – that’s our job. All you need to do is relax.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO RENOVATE?
ARE YOU SELLING YOUR HOME?
Renovating your existing bathroom with the latest high-quality products is one of the smartest property investments you can make. Bathrooms and kitchens are the main selling points in a house, so a properly designed and installed bathroom can make a big difference to the value of your property, often dramatically lifting the selling price. However, purchasers have become very conscious of having a modern layout with a high quality finish, so it needs to be done right.
ARE YOU STAYING IN YOUR HOME?
A properly done renovation means that your family can enjoy a beautifully finished contemporary bathroom that’ll last for a long, long time, and that’s a great feeling.
ANY WATER DAMAGE?
Water damage can be a disaster but it’s also an opportunity to increase the value and enjoyment of your home via a full or partial renovation.
ANY HEALTH/MEDICAL REASONS?
You might need to renovate your bathroom due to medical reasons. We can help with the design and implementation of a disabled bathroom or a ‘wet room’ depending on your specific needs.
HOW MUCH SHOULD
YOU INVEST?
A ‘Rule of Thumb’ for typical bathroom renovations is an investment of 3-5% of the house value. This is a good guideline but with New Zealand’s rising property market and wide variances across the regions, the only real constant is the price of the bathroom itself.
The price of the fittings and fixtures doesn’t vary much from region to region, while building materials and trade or labour costs don’t fluctuate considerably much either. So it really comes down to investing in a bathroom renovation project that suits the house from both a value and design perspective.
AUCKLAND
An example would be an average Auckland house that’s valued at around $1,000,000. This would call for an investment range of $30,000 to $50,000 (3-5%).
WELLINGTON
The same home in Wellington might be valued at $500,000, so the same percentages would place the estimated investment range between $15,000 to $30,000.
Use this 3-5% range (based on home value) as a guideline, and you won’t be over-capitalising, but will still be getting the best value for your money.
Small Bathroom $19 to $25k
Medium Bathroom $25k to $35k
Large Bathroom $35k plus
*Fluctuations will occur with:
• Tiled showers
• Floor to ceiling tiling
• Expensive bathroom fittings
• Water damage and repairs to existing structures

Our project manager will manage all of the tradespeople involved in your project, making sure that each of them knows what do to, and ensuring that products and fixtures are available when needed.

The arrival dates of the tradespeople as they start and finish each part of the project will be carefully scheduled to minimise any downtime.
