Why Canberra homeowners pick Dolphin Bathrooms
Bathroom renovation cost in Canberra varies depending on the size of the room, the fixtures you choose, and whether the layout is changing. Rather than quote a flat figure that doesn't reflect your actual project, we provide a detailed, itemised quote after the free consultation, with a clear allowance for your tiles and fixtures.
What changes the cost of a bathroom renovation:
- The size and complexity of the bathroom
- Quality and type of fixtures, fittings and tapware
- How much plumbing and electrical work is needed
- Tiling and waterproofing requirements
- Custom storage and joinery
- The condition of substrates once we open the walls and floor
We're upfront about what drives the price up and where there's room to pull it back. If something needs to change mid-project, we will talk to you before any extra work goes ahead.

Every bathroom renovation Canberra job we run is built to keep disruption short while still doing the work properly.
Choosing the right bathroom renovators in Canberra
Plenty of bathroom renovators in Canberra are out there, and not all are equal. Worth checking a few things before you hand over a deposit:
- Licensing and insurance. Ask for the builder's licence number and confirm current insurance. Ours is 2012113.
- Local track record. Years of experience in Canberra specifically matter, because ACT homes, climate and approvals have their own quirks.
- Quote detail. A vague one-line quote usually means surprises later. Look for itemised costs and clear allowances.
- Reviews and finished work. Check the gallery, read reviews and ask to see recent projects.
We've been bathroom renovators Canberra homeowners have trusted for 25+ years, so we know what works for ACT homes.
Our licensed builder runs every project with the same attention to detail and quality workmanship, whether it's a small ensuite or a full luxury build.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Canberra?
It depends on the size of the room, the fixtures you choose and whether the layout is changing. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after the free in-home consultation, with clear allowances for tiles and fixtures.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most standard bathroom renovations in Canberra take 2 to 4 weeks on site. Ensuites are often quicker, and projects that involve moving walls can take longer. We give you a realistic timeline before the job starts.
Do I need council approval for a bathroom renovation in the ACT?
Usually, no, especially if the footprint and major structural elements aren't changing. We'll flag any approvals needed during planning.
What's included in a full bathroom renovation?
A complete bathroom renovation with us covers demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, wall and floor tiling, fixture and tapware installation, and the final clean. We coordinate every trade and project-manage the lot.
What happens if you uncover problems during the job?
Occasionally, we find things behind walls or under floors that weren't visible at the quoting stage. We stop, talk you through what we've found and what it'll cost, and only proceed once you're across it.
Do you renovate ensuites and laundries as well?
Yes. We do bathroom, ensuite and laundry renovations across Canberra, and many clients combine them to keep the design consistent through the house.
Can you help with design ideas?
Absolutely. Plenty of clients come to us knowing they want a better bathroom, but are not sure what they want it should look like. Our design service walks you through layout, materials and fixtures.
Do you provide a warranty on your work?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and walk you through the specific warranty terms before the project kicks off.
